What D T doesn't like about Central Bbq (poplar):
4 of us went to poplar location. 3 pork plates and one three meat plate. all the meat was bone dry. it is as if it had been sititng out for hours. sauce was good, sides were good, but pork and chicken were dry and brittle to the point of being crunchy throughout. the brisket was sliced very thin, not thick like most places serve it. ordered water to drink and got the clear 8oz cup. did get a beer at the bar and it was good, but overall you go to Central for the BBQ and it was just bad. We live about an hour away so not visiting Memphis, just trying out Central since it is not our main place. Wont come back. What David likes about Central Bbq (poplar):
We like central BBQ. Good atmosphere and selection on the menu. A good selection of local beers one of the few BBQ places with a bbq portabela mushroom sandwich. Their Mac and cheese is epic. The poplar location has a great atmosphereFood: 5/5 View all feedback.
