Center Point Barbecue has been a community staple since the 1950s, when it was first founded in Henderson, Tennessee, by a family passionate about slow-cooked Southern flavors. What started as a small roadside pit quickly gained popularity for its smoky ribs, pulled pork, and friendly atmosphere. Through the years, word of mouth and loyal locals helped the restaurant expand, transforming Center Point into a regional favorite while preserving its down-home charm.
As the menu evolved, classics like brisket sandwiches and smoked chicken stayed at the heart of the experience, but what many diners don’t know is that there’s also a secret menu. Regulars whisper about off-menu creations and unique combinations that never made it to the printed list but are cherished by those in the know. Even with these hidden gems, the original signature barbecue plate still stands tall—proving that some traditions never lose their flavor.
