Got the to meat combo......brisket, ribs, baked beans, and fries. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Good. Wanted a taste of Memphis and this hit the spot. Perfect sauce, tender meat and the portion was more than I could eat. Staff were super friendly and helpful and the food came fast. Desserts looked tempting..but I was already full. First seen on DDD on Food... More

Learned of this place from watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and it was great! The staff was so friendly. They even let me get behind the counter and took my picture like I worked there...no other restaurant has offered to do this for me. The food was outstanding. I'm not claiming to be any kind of expert but this could... More

While in Memphis, Tennessee two weeks ago, my husband and I ate at Tom's BBQ at the corner of Getwell and Raine streets. It is a small place with GREAT Bar-B-Que. We told the folks there that their restaurant had come recommended and thought we would try it. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and took our order.... More

First of all, as a local standard for BBQ is high. Memphis has alot of places that serve BBQ and I've heard alot about Tom's and decided to have an early dinner. While it's located in an area that's industrial and nothing else, the parking lot was packed. Half the cars had out of state tags. But there were also... More

This is about as good as it gets when it comes to BBQ. It's affordable, tasty as can be, good portions and smoked to perfection. I have no recommendations other than to just eat here. One of the best BBQ places I have been to yet.

I enjoy BarBque, and if you like KC style, you will love this place! amazing BBQ! Tastes great without sauce, but if you try the sauce, you will enter BBQ heaven! When my BarBque was gone I still had sauce and I was looking for items to dip in this amazing recipe. Well organized. I went at 12:15 and the... More

This is my favorite BBQ on earth. I eat there about once a month and take food to customers about twice a month. They request it and love it. Adam is great. He's like a happier version of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld.

We found Tom's on Diners, Drive-In's, & Drives and it did not disappoint!! Amazing BBQ! The owner even gave us a different menu item to sample as well. If you want to real deal without all the hype and expensive touristy crap this is the place to be!

Only one word would describe the meal at Tom's that my golf buddy and I had on a trip to Memphis - Awesome! If I have ever had better baby back ribs, I cannot remember when. The sauce was great and the meat was so tender that it literally fell off of the bones. We tried three different BBQ restaurants... More

The family and I decided to take a weekend trip to Memphis. Decided to try Tom's due to seeing it on TV. WOW!. Wonderful food, great staff, and great food. Did I say the food was good? Yep! If ever in the Memphis area, take the time to find this out of the way gem.
