Hi,

my favorite general b-b-q restaurant these days in Memphis are the
Neely's places...

their pork is good... they're the only place I'd get brisket... and
everything else they do is good too... their combo plates are a good
place to start.

the neely brother's father has a good place too... Interstate
Bar-B-Que at 3rd st. and I-55... you'd go north off I-55 instead of
south to go to the Tunica Casinos.
