This place was recommended by my husband's coworkers. We were in the area so decided to try it out. When we first got there I thought we were lost since I didn't see it at first. It literally looks like a shack next to Lowe's. Very "home" feeling entrance as you enter two doors like a house. The lady at the register (I didn't get her name) was very helpful when we told her we were first timers. She showed us the menu that has all the highlights of their best sellers to make it a bit easier to select and start off. We ordered the combo plate with brisket and burnt ends, and the soup of the day a cup of shrimp corn chowder. When the chowder came it was bigger than I expected. It tasted just like my grandma's with that shrimp twist to it. Needless to say I devoured it. The combo came and although pic may look messy, it was delicious. The burnt ends had the right amount of flavor with that jalepeno kick at the end. The brisket was tender and the fat just melts in your mouth. It was so good that I barely used the bbq sauce with it. As for the sides, the beans were good, and the slaw was one of the better ones we've had, but the potato salad was best. Definitely the recommendation did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

While in Memphis, on the eternal quest for the best hole in the wall barbecue, we made our way to Elwood's Shack. Located literally in the parking lot of a Home Depot, this little shack serves up some tasty food.Despite craving barbecue, both my father and husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and I ordered the debris Poboy. Not quite barbecue, but I definitely do not regret my decision. The debris Poboy was quite tasty and could easily hold its own against any New Orleans Poboy. The potato salad was delicious as well and I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good bite to eat.

I was only in Memphis for the afternoon but wanted to try some "Memphis BBQ" like everyone talks about. This spot was great and the sandwich is something I'll be craving again. Customer service was super informative and friendly. If I'm ever in the area again I'll be back!

Medium rare NY roast beef was more like a well done roast beef. Not exactly over stuffed or tasty. Also ordered the Chili, but was via uber. They should put the sour cream on the side, till ready to eat. Some sandwiches here are great, others need removed.

One of my top favorite places! Everything I have tried has been so good! Club sandwich, tacos, pizzas, and BBQ nachos are some of my favorites. BBQ quesadillas are good too!

We had their platter that had a little bit of everything. I personally am not a fan of BBQ but my husband and dog are, and Elwood's were their request. I actually loved it all. I've tried BBQ in Texas and Louisiana, this place was de-li-cious. Very worth it

The sausage biscuit was 8/10! Great flavor on the sausage. Biscuit was moist.The smoked chicken was tough, and the beans were too sweet. The brisket was dry, but the flavor was very good. Cole slaw was standard, and the texas toast had a nice seasoning on it.

Stopped here on a long drive from Nashville to Dallas. Approaching the restaurant we almost thought we were in the wrong place as it's literally a small shed looking structure that is very much befitting its name. The unpaved lot and beat up cars did not stop us and we ventured in to be met with super friendly service and even more delicious barbecue. I would highly recommend getting the Memphis dry rub ribs with a side of the sauce because the dry rub was so tasty and different than what you may get at corporatized bbq joints or in Texas.

We were only driving thru Memphis and looked for a good BBQ joint. Of course I rely heavily on my fellow Yelpers for experiences. We couldn't pass this up, even though it's off the beaten path and we were driving a big U-Haul truck.You can easily drive by it because it's tucked behind a business on Summer. There's also very little parking. Just park and follow your nose to the smell of great BBQ. Don't let the outside fool ya! Once you step foot inside, it transforms into a quaint restaurant with incredible aroma and very homey! It took a few minutes to peruse the menu; especially since we had one shot at trying to pick the best choice. They were very helpful and I asked if I could just get a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. It wasn't in the menu but they made it happen.Not a long wait but the tables filled up fast. We got our food and oh boy!!!! It was even better than it looked. I'm drooling just thinking about the savory flavors. One of the best bbq sandwiches I've had in a long time. Everything was absolutely perfect This place deserves a 6th
