Neely's Interstate BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Memphis, TN. Listed categories include american, restaurant.

Neely's Interstate on Winchester is the southeast Memphis link in the Neely-family barbecue line, run by Jim Neely's son Ken and his family. They planted it in a stretch of the city they set out to serve directly, carrying the 1978 Third Street legacy closer to the neighborhoods that grew up on it.

The menu keeps the family signatures: chopped pork sandwiches with real smoke, dry-rub ribs pulled from the pit, and the barbecue spaghetti that made the Neely name, smoked pork woven through a BBQ-spiced tomato sauce over pasta. Hickory-smoked wings and a proper crisp cole slaw round out the tray. It is the Interstate tradition transplanted to Winchester Road, still cooked by the people whose name is on the sign, and still built on the sauced, wet-rib style the family helped define.
