Editorial Review for Memphis Smoke – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Long lines are common on weekends, and the Southern theme radiates throughout the wide-open dining area, with striking black-and-white photos of Memphis hung high on the walls. Barbecued pork ribs are the specialty, with wet and dry-rub choices available. For those that like spice, try the jambalaya. Blues and a smattering of rock acts take the stage nightly, making Memphis Smoke a lively, as well as lip-smacking, nightlife destination.

We thought we would try it, I love BBQ. What a mistake, The food was Nasty, with the exception of the Alfrado my daughter ordered. (maybe they should consider Italian) The waitstaff acted like they did not care. The BBQ tasted like it had been sitting in water for a couple of days, the ribs were not good at all. Have had better at a coney. I would hope the owner reads the reviews written, in times like this he needs to make some changes or close the doors. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Pros: No Pros, although I did not hear the band.
Cons: Many

I heard a band called Topaz and Mudphonic perform here. They were amazing and the food was excellent. Wouldn't recommend the cole slaw. good stage and sound system, great sound man. I'd say give it a try just for the music, but I loved the barbecue as well.
