Corky's Memphis
The hickory institution that made ribs a Memphis religion
Corky's Memphis is a barbecue restaurant in Memphis, TN. Listed categories include american, restaurant.
Corky's is the barbecue institution tourists read about and locals still respect, and this Germantown Parkway location carries the legacy into Cordova. It is a big, busy room built for volume, but the hickory smoke that made the name never gets lost in the crowd.
The dry-rub ribs arrive with genuine smoke and a firm bite, and the wet racks come glossed in the sweet sauce that turned Corky's into a national mail-order brand. The BBQ bologna is a thick-cut plate few competitors bother to do well, the pulled pork stays juicy chopped to order, and snappy smoked sausage rounds out a tray built for appetite. Suburban diners get the full Corky's experience, dry and wet ribs alike, without the drive to Poplar, which is exactly why the Cordova room stays as busy as the original.
