Arnold's BBQ & Grill-Memphis TN
The Edge District's smoke-filled secret-alley handshake
Arnold's BBQ & Grill-Memphis TN is a barbecue restaurant in Memphis, TN. Listed categories include american, restaurant.
Arnold's downtown outpost is the sleeker modern branch of the Shelby Drive family pit, tucked into the Edge District along Floyd Alley. Following the pig-sign path off Monroe feels like a secret handshake, and it opens onto a table-service room and a BYOB patio, a downtown restatement of a South Memphis institution.
The dry rib ends are the signature move: fall-off-the-bone tips seasoned dry, then glossed with a sweet-tangy sauce that lets the wood smoke lead. Loaded BBQ fries buried under chopped pork and a hefty chopped pork sandwich cover the everyday cravings, while a lighter BBQ chicken salad offers a counter to the smoke-heavy plates. Weekend country breakfast is the wildcard, a full griddle spread that few barbecue rooms bother to attempt. It reads as a young place, but the dry-rub and tomato-based recipes carry a Shelby Drive pedigree behind them.
