"July 23rd, 2022. Place was empty, came in with a party of 14 for my brother in law?s birthday. The woman who greeted us at the door (I think her name was Jennifer) very clearly was not happy so she stated she?d give us to a different server. She went to the back, came back out front and said ?never mind I guess you?ll be in my section? in a very rude tone. I said ?oh don?t worry, we?re nice,? to which she replied, ?I don?t care, do you guys tip?? I assured her she?d be taken care of since my sister and I are servers and we all tip well because we know the industry. I was already annoyed, but this was our second restaurant we had been to. Throughout the whole meal she gave everyone at the table attitude or an eye roll at one point. When I asked for a refill on my Pibb (it would have been my 3rd) she opened up her eyes wide as if 3 is a ridiculous number of drinks. When it came time for the checks, everything was split incorrectly, which took about 10-15 minutes to adjust. We waited a very long time for our food (about an hour) but since we were a big party we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Only good part was everyone seemed to enjoy their food. As I said, I am a server. In the beginning of our meal, our server complained about their restaurant being slow and implied she needed a job elsewhere. I can?t understand how someone who is apparently struggling for money would complain about getting a big party then continue to give us bad service. Take advantage of the opportunity to make your money!!! I let my nephew choose her tip amount, and let me say she is lucky he is a generous tipper at the age of 6. Her attitude needs a HUGE adjustment. I love Rib City, and this was my first time at this location, but I can guarantee I will not be back."

"We came to Memphis for 2 things, Graceland, and barbecue. Both did not disappoint. The Bar-B-Q Shop is known for the spaghetti and ribs. Being a vegetarian, I searched far and wide for a restaurant that offered more vegetarian options than just coleslaw. I found it here. I enjoyed the veggie burger which was sort of a Garden Burger taste with bbq sauce, pickle, tomato, and onion on their signature Texas toast. I also ordered a potato salad on the side with a sweet tea. The burger was ok. I don't believe that they actually make the patty themselves, so they don't have much control over the taste. But the toast and bbq sauce were very good. The sauce has a sort of sweet and smoky flavor. The potato salad was great and not overly mayo-y or mustardy. The sweet tea was just as described, sweet. The menu offers a veggie burger, a black bean burger, mozzarella sticks, and a few sides for vegetarians. We interacted with 3 staff members and they were all very attentive and kind. They all wore masks and took care to really clean the tables between guests. The vibe overall is what you'd expect from a Midwest bbq place. Some of the tables could use a good sanding and refinishing and the bathrooms need a deep cleaning and fixing a few things. There is street parking as well as parking behind the building. In all I was very pleased with my experience and would recommend them to anyone."
