Central BBQ fired up its first smoker in 2002 in Memphis, Tennessee, founded by BBQ enthusiasts Craig Blondis and Roger Sapp. What started as a local favorite quickly gained national attention thanks to their fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender pulled pork, and signature dry rub. With multiple locations now across Tennessee and shipping available nationwide, Central BBQ has become a must-try destination for barbecue lovers.
The menu expanded beyond the classics, adding fan-favorites like smoked wings and brisket nachos. But what many don’t know is there’s a secret menu, shared quietly among insiders. Think Brisket Queso Fries, Smoked Bologna Sandwiches, and custom BBQ combos not listed on the board. Still, the heart of it all remains the same: their iconic pulled pork sandwich—topped with slaw and packed with flavor—continues to be the crowd favorite and a symbol of Central BBQ’s smoky roots.
