From Memphis to Lexington to Tuscaloosa and everywhere in between, I've tried them all, and Big John's is good. The meat is properly prepared in the smoker, the ribs cooked to perfection, but the sauce was more like Buffalo Chicken sauce than any vinegar base NC style or molasses tomato base associated with Memphis that I've ever encountered. Baked beans are awesome and coleslaw was OK.
Pros: Authentic, slow cooked meat preparation
Cons: No homeade ice tea
