fantastic food & service!.ty'sopened up here in bartlett a couple of months ago. i was a little leery of yet another bbq place... since most of them are not good at all. so after checking the menu out, i loaded up the kids and decided to give it a go.
when we arrived everything was nice and clean, no greasy tables or floors, which was a refreshing change from most bbq places. there was plenty of space in the dining area, 3 big tv's, nice posters all over the walls from memphis in may, and a area forty'strophies. it's not over done but it is nice. i was greeted as soon as i walked through the door. the girl that took my order was more than patient taking my order, which changed around a few times.
we all ordered the pulled pork sandwich, slaw, and onion rings. she told me she would bring our food right out to us and within 6 minutes she did (they had to cook the onion rings). our pulled pork buns were toasted which was nice and a good mound of pulled pork laid on top with a small amount of sauce. i like a lot of sauce so i grabbed all three of their offerings and tried it out. the original was okay nothing spectacular. the smoky was a hit with everyone. the hot had a little heat to it but wasn't too hot, it was good though. i mixed the hot and smoky and that was a winning combo. the sandwich was phenomenal!! the pork was juicy and tender with a good amount of flavor. i knew just from the first two bites that we would be back! the slaw had an orange color to it which left me a little bit concerned but i must say it was fantastic. very different flavor, like nothing i've ever had before, just fantastic! the onion rings are homemade and boy can you tell it! they were the best onion rings i've had in years. nice batter to them, good flavor, just the right amount of thickness. overall, we are in love with these onion rings!
while we were eating, the girl that took our order checked on us and then ty came out to see if we were liking our food. that was a nice touch. in fact, i've noticed that no matter what time of day we come, he always tries to come out and talk to his customers. those are the little things that matter so much.
we have been back several times and every single visit is fantastic. very consistent quality, good service, and oh so yummy! we always leave with smiles on our faces, feeling happy, and with a full belly of some of the best bbq in memphis. this surely out does corey's (blech) or any other mainstream bbq place in the city!!
