Interstate Barbecue

Yum. Popped in on the way to Mardi Gras in LA. Place was almost empty but the service was fantastic, food was too.

The food was horrible, messy and wet bread! My French fries was half done. The cook sucks! That's makes the restaurant look bad! I called and complain. Antoinette C. was passive aggressive and wasn't listening. She took longtime giving us our order, meanwhile we watched another customer come in and he was served before us and then she ask us what's our. Wow! Really, we drove 20 minutes to get food and was disappointed! I suggest the cook take pride in their work. Not a sandwich that's sloppy made. Not fair to the customer!People want what they paid for.

Ribs were good. Sides were ok but a staple Memphis bbq place through the years. One of my kids had the bbq nachos and it looked great.

Jim Neely's Interstate BBQThe secret is in the sauce at this iconic barbecue joint, where owner and founder Jim Neely began selling his smoked creations back in 1979.Inside and out, Interstate is perfumed by smoke from slow-sizzling barbecue round the clock. That is because the pork shoulders are out in the pit at 5pm for the next day's lunch and they start the day's ribs every morning. Chopped pork shoulder had a few crusty outside shreds. A large chopped pork sandwich is the most Memphian dish on the menu, made as per local custom with a layer of cool cole slaw atop the well-sauced meat. It is a total mess that disintegrates as you eat it, but the most delicious mess imaginable!Interstate Barbeque's menu is rather large and includes the classic pork ribs and chopped pork, but it's their Bar-B-Q Spaghetti Dinner that attracts most diners. Stated as an Interstate original but that's debatable as The Bar-B-Q Shop boasts that their location was the first to create this dish. As it was Brady Vincent, a former railroad cook who opened a barbecue restaurant called Brady and Lil's. When Vincent retired in 1980, he sold the business to Frank and Hazel Vernon. The Vernons moved the restaurant to its current location on Madison Avenue and renamed it The Bar-B-Q Shop, but they still make barbecue spaghetti using Vincent's original recipe.BBQ Spaghetti Iconic Memphis StapleLocals and outsiders alike seem rather divided on the merits of barbecued spaghetti. Some praise it as a high delicacy while others seemed baffled by it altogether. I, for one, fell in love with it at first bite. Why mess around with potato salad or french fries? If you can accompany your pork barbecue with a side dish that incorporates even more pork barbecue with soft noodles in superb sauce!Barbecue spaghetti is a dish from Memphis, Tennessee, that combines spaghetti with a sauce made from shredded smoked pulled pork, sautéed peppers and onions and barbecue sauce.

Sadly this place needs some work. Beef ribs were very tough and chewy. The pork ribs were salty and tough. The fries were the big winner here. Not sure what happened here, but this place didn't work for us.

I grew up on this world famous bbq. It's the best and I love every item on the menu. People ask me what to order from this restaurant well my reply is order everything it's all good. The pull pork is the best hands down. I travel from all over the world just to get back here and eat.

Good food and good service it's in the hood so if the doors are locked just knock lol

Great barbecue! Ordered the sampler plate. Everything was fantastic including the waitress. I highly recommend this place if you want some good ole fashioned BBQ!

I should've taken a picture of my food, I'll go back and add a few. Our offices are down the street (close to downtown Memphis), and yesterday I was craving BBQ. This was not my favorite visit. The lady at the drive-through was not the warmest, so you must know what you're going to order before you get there to make your process seamless. I usually get a beef, chopped sandwich combo, and I stuck to my routine. The beef chopped did not disappoint. I decided to venture out and try five piece wings as well, thinking there would be smoked barbecue wings, and they were so greasy! I could not enjoy them. I kept asking for water, or sweet tea, and they didn't have anything but Sprite. maybe it was just an unlucky day, I'll definitely go back another day and hope to have better luck at the downtown Interstate BBQ location. I've attached a picture of the menu, so definitely know what you want before you order!!

I had a bad experience here. The server was passive aggressive the food was salty and bad. Not to mention you might as well eat it while sitting on the toilet because their barbecue sauce is a straight up laxative.After forcing myself to eat their ribs, my wife and I made the 5 minute drive home. She decided to have a little "adult fun," and well we got naked. As we began I noticed a cramp in my tummy, but as I kicked her up to carry her to the bedroom I shit all over myself, the carpet, the cat and my wife I got a divorce and I married my pet monkey coco
