Just outstanding BBQ and a dining experience that's hard to describe. The meat was excellently smoked and the slaw is made with mustard, unusual but very good. A small menu but when the basic BBQ is this good you really don't need a lot to choose from. In fact I don't remember any other side vegetables other than slaw and baked beans but both are great. Be sure you visit the men's room and check out the non-functioning-for-years urinal! Just do it, you'll see what I mean. It will be a hard decision next time I'm in Memphis whether or not I will want to try a different BBQ joint or just go back to Payne's.
