I'm thinking of coming up for the UAB game next weekend & looking for a possible bbq place to eat afterwards. What's a good place to go? I know about some of the major names around town like Redevous, Interstate, Commissary, etc from being a bbq judge.

Went last weekend, good BBQ everywhere.

Rendezvous, B.B. Kings and Silky O'Sullivan's are all real close to the forum and have pretty decent grub.

I'm not from Memphis but I've been there numerous times. I like Blues City Cafe on Beale. Their ribs are meaty and tender. One non-bbq item they serve that is really good are their tamales. One of my friends with me the last time I was there (during the Liberty Bowl trip) ordered catfish. He said it was very good.

Think Rendezvous is a little overrated. Central BBQ is good. German Commissary is better, IMO.

I'm sure there are many other great places in Memphis that I haven't tried yet.

Blues City Cafe is a regular stop for me when I'm on Beale.

While a little bit away from the Forum, The BBQ Shop on Madison is another high quality BBQ place. BBQ bologna has become a favorite of mine just by trying it on the BBQ Shop sausage and cheese plate. While on Madison, if you're around there mid-day and want an unusually fresh, non-overcooked and very good vegie plate or conventional lunch, try the Trolley Stop on Madison.
