Central BBQ was born and raised in the fires of barbecue competition, where only the absolute best was good enough. Since its inception, Central BBQ has consistently been ranked the #1 spot for BBQ in Memphis. We think the secret ingredients to CBQ's success include our delicious, fall-off-the-bone meat - smoked in southern hospitality, and doused with good times. So come take a load off and try us out for the first or thousandth time - we don’t think you’ll be disappointed!
