Tucked in the heart of Memphis, Cozy Corner BBQ has been a local legend since 1977. Founded by the late Raymond Robinson, this family-run joint quickly gained a loyal following for its signature blend of smoky flavors and soul-soothing Southern hospitality. What started as a modest BBQ spot grew into a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists craving authentic Memphis-style ribs and wings.
Throughout the years, the Cozy Corner menu expanded to include slow-smoked Cornish hens, barbecue bologna, and rib tips that melt in your mouth. But here’s the kicker—whispers among loyal patrons hint at a secret menu, featuring off-menu items like loaded BBQ nachos or extra-saucy rib sandwiches made “Robinson-style.” These underground favorites are rarely advertised but passionately requested by those in the know.
Despite the evolution, Cozy Corner’s original classic—its tender, spice-rubbed ribs—still stands tall as the soul of the menu, reminding everyone why Memphis BBQ matters.
