The space was formerly a small country store for over 90 years after which it was taken over in 1981 and converted into a barbecue joint. Since then, they have been a popular joint offering slow-cooked, hickory-smoked ribs and barbecue, prepared like the old-times in Memphis-style. In addition to meat dishes they also offer delicious sides like deviled eggs and potato salad, pig sticks to name a few.

Awesome barbecue! The waitress was so great too! It’s a small place but so worth the wait!

The Commissary was recommended to me by a chef friend who knows his stuff. Went last night on a trip to Memphis but have to say I was really disappointed. I’ve been cooking on a smoker for years and have become a bit of a bbq snob and found the pork ok (nice and moist but no smoke flavor) and the ribs were tough and dry. Service and environment were great. Perhaps just caught them on an off night or got ribs that had been sitting under a warmer awhile. If I get back to Memphis, I’ll be looking elsewhere for bbq.

Holy crap. Just an amazing amazing meal. Came from Nashville. Had the sampler platter. Extra sausage. Samantha was our server and she took such great care of us. So sweet. Recommended the perfect meal. Can’t recommend it enough.

Good service, good food and good atmosphere. The ribs are delicious, the beans and slaw are very good as well. My wife and I had lunch there 2/3/18 and was not disappointed. First time but not the last!!
