Bain Barbecue

Still just as good as we remembered, but a heads-up for anyone visiting: we looked at a menu online before heading in, and when we got there, the prices and options were a bit different with the platters. It threw us off a bit, I took a photo of the menu in person so maybe double check that before you go. (If youre a plan your meal ahead kinda person)One cool thing we learned is that the Texas Twinkie is actually considered a side when you order the platters, which was a nice surprise. And let me just say, those things were fantastic! Last time i had one it was way too hot for me, but this time it had only a little bit of spice, so i was able to enjoy it more. The sausage was also a hit--flavorful and perfectly cooked.The ribs, though tasty, were a bit underwhelming with the amount of meat on them. But they still had that great BBQ flavor, so no complaints there.Overall, still a great spot! AND, they have a point system now where every $2 you spend you get 1 point..and every 50 points you get $5 off. So pretty psyched for that now too! I would absolutely love them to bring the koloches back though. I really miss having a good koloche close by. fingers crossed!

Service was awesome. Place was clean and decorated well with outdoor seating. Food Meh.Waygu burnt ends, beef sausage (wrapped in a swine casing), Mac and cheese, baled beans, jalapeño slaw, and chips, Waygu burnt ends... Meh sauce was good they were a little tough for my liking. My guy said the sausage was alright on flavor not spicy, Mac and cheese was seasoned but lerved luke warm, beans had swine didn't taste but he said it was more like chili not bakedbeans the slaw HUGE disappointment... Watery no flavor but the veggies were fresh. $80 and just not impressed. Second Memphis BBQ joint that been underwhelming.

Phenomenal place! I'm a native Memphian and we're serious about our BBQ LOL! Bain is fantastic and I LOVE the staff Everyone's super friendly and helpful,the food is fresh and well seasoned, and the atmosphere is super comfy Feels like homePS: You've GOTTA try that Texas Twinkie!

We were in the area and wanted to try this out. Parking is in the back but very limited. We came at the right time and got a spot during lunch time. Walking to the back door, the workers in the back are yelling "Welcome" as you walk in. I love how it's like a "homey" atmosphere. Tables are in the different rooms and you order first then sit yourself. It was our first time and the girls up front were really helpful and answering our questions. We got the mini trio which consisted of a piece of brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. For our sides we got the potato salad and Mac n cheese. All meats were flavorful and tender. I could eat them without the sauces which I mixed the mustard and sweet together and they were bomb. The Mac n cheese was my favorite side as the cheese had the right amount of sharpness which I like. The potato salad is a great choice too just the Mac was better to me. We will definitely be back to try other things cause seeing others' food also looked so good.

Went to try the Special Burger during Burger Week sponsored by the Memphis Flyer. Pretty good size burger with a smashed patty, potato bun, onions, cheese, lettuce, tomoato, pickles, and special sauce. It was seasoned well and a tad salty but others seasonings made the burger tasty. I had an order of seasoned fries on the side. Those were hot and fresh. The drinks are self service as well as utensils. Everyone in the dining area was helpful.Service was good. Heather was very nice and helpful. The ambiance is bright and pleasant. There are many signs posted to help you manuever to enter and exit in the correct places. The restaurant is a renovated home with many chairs inside and outside. Their is parking available in the back which is nice and convenient. I have been here before to try the bbq. Nice restaurant. Wish it was closer to where I live but always nice to enjoy other eateries around M-Town.

I've been wanting to come here for a while and it was great! The cheddar sausage and ribs were definitely the star of it all. The brisket was a let down because it was dry, but it could've been just that day. I'll definitely go back to try their memdawg!

Bain BBQ is one of my all around favorite places in the area. They make the best beef BBQ in the City of Memphis and the closest thing you will find to Texas BBQ within 100 miles! I'll move away if you can prove me wrong!!! Loser leave town style! I'll just move to Dyersburg and be able to eat at Blake Stokers place. The brisket here is fucking fantastic! In fact, it's so good I struggle to even try anything else. I've put off writing a review here because I am so stuck and can't really offer any diversity in advice other than the brisket and the pastrami, which are essentially the same except for the pre-smoke production. I keep saying I'm going to get some ribs, pulled pork, sausages, and some of the other beautiful things I've seen behind the magic meat counter. But no.... I can't even think straight when I walk in man. bR1Zki7!Heather is a doll, just love her personality! I have not met her worser half, Bryant, on my visits. I am sure he is in the kitchen, where a man should be!!It's in a cool little old house in Cooper Young and has all the quirks you can imagine a restahouse would have. I dig it though. It's my kind of place!! It does give them some slight hell on maintenance. I did notice they are evolving lately. Lots of new items on the menu, which obviously I have not tried. LOL. I think they changed the sauce formulas, I love the hot one now! They changed the beans and I absolutely HATE IT! Boo!! Hiss!! I had some terrible Mac and cheese a while back, I hope it's better now, but I won't be falling for that shit again. I guess I'll just eat more protein and no sides. Maybe that way I can get around to he other meats. '24 - 49/100

Great Memphis style BBQ with a side of Texas brisket . The owners are very nice. They showed me their smokers and the wood they import. I knew the food would be good.and it was delicious . Friendly staff at the counter too.

I found myself back in Memphis and decided not to miss out on barbecue again. Girls behind the counter filled me in that this is Texas style barbecue and so I feel like I'm a pretty good judge as far as that goes as a Houstonian. Love this area of town and the building being a restored house with tons of artwork and character help them forge a distinctive look and feel. Everyone working had great attitudes and personalities and helped us decided what my family should order. I'll rate the Texas Trinity:Brisket 4/5 - simply seasoned and let the beef speak for itself, That's a key to Texas brisket. Could have used a bit more salt on the rub, but that's a personal preference. Pulled apart easy, and stayed relatively moist. Great smoke ring. Regular Sausage 2/5 - wasn't a big fan of the flavor or texture here. Meat was likely over worked before being cooked or overcooked. Pork Ribs 5/5 - did memphisnproud here, was my fave of the 3. Great bark formed on the outside. Cooked perfectly and came of the bone clean without falling off. We had the Mac and cheese and pinto beans as sides and like both as well. Rounded out the meal with the pulled pork sandwich and had no complaints there either. Everything was clearly cooked low and slow with the massive smoker that's out back and the product reflects that time and patience.

1000 stars if I could.The ribs left me speechless and in a food coma, I can die a happy woman.I'm not even kidding, this ribs here are top tier, we should've ordered a half rack.100% would come back.Plenty of parking in the back lot.Very clean restrooms and the employees were so nice.$56 for a mini platter, 1/2lb of burnt ends and drinks.
