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.

This was our first stop in Memphis. Food was great! Tom even gave us a sampler of other meats because we were from out of town. I loved the sauce--it was delicious! Service was excellent! The only thing I wish was that the meat would have been just cooked because I prefer piping hot food. It was warm, but not... More

I've been to Tom's BBQ many times. Usually it's a weekday lunch and since I'm pressed for time I get the sandwich combo to go. This time it was a weekend ride to Tom's with several of my biker buddies. We were welcomed by Adam and his staff and were fed very well. I tried the ribs AND rib tips... More

I found this place based on Google reviews when I was in town for an interview. Wanting to try southern BBQ and staying by the airport it was close and convenient and highly rated on Google. I was not disappointed. Once I found the place I was surprised to see the banners from the Food Channels Guy Fieri Diners, Dive-Ins... More
