Ribs - there was no slow cooking these babies - it was just throw on the grill for 2 minutes - pour some dry rub on them (to make them look like BBQ ribs) - put some Campbell's pork and beans in a small paper cup - add some cold French Fries and there you got it - the worst... More

These racks of ribs are HUGE and incredible. 'Fall off the bone' tender and outstanding flavor. We had leftovers for two days. The service was ultra friendly and very generous with the soft drink re-fills. Extremely helpful as well.

This is a real gem. Went there for breakfast three times. Food terrific, portions very substantial, staff wonderfully welcoming and despite them being very busy we were not rushed. Don't miss this if in the area.

We checked with the locals on Beale Street and they all recommended the Blue City. A bit crowded, but that's because it's food is so good. Had the gumbo, catfish and ribs. Everything was delicious.
