Corkys BBQ Poplar - Memphis, TN

All Corky's meats are SLOW COOKED over hickory wood and charcoal. As we say...cookin' the old fashion way! Each slab of ribs is trimmed out to our very tight specifications, and every pork shoulder is HAND PULLED ...NO AUTOMATION! So pull up a chair, roll up your sleeves and dig into the best BBQ in the world.

Beginning in the early 1970's, Don Pelts began to visualize a Memphis-style BBQ "joint" that made great premium BBQ in a fun 50's environment. After spending over a decade operating an existing Memphis BBQ restaurant (1970-1983 ), he finally set out to realize his dream. In 1984 Don found the perfect location and was ready to bring Corky's to reality. All he could think of was a small cozy place with old barn wood walls, lots of neon, polished brass, interior aged brick, ceiling fans, servers in bow ties and white shirts, and of course piping in all the great music hits of the 50's and 60's. The rest is Memphis history! (from http://www.corkysmemphis.com)
