If you like barbecue, then this is the place you'll love. The ambience screams old school south. There's a jukebox, a train that goes around the building, and even though everything is dark wood-there's still plenty of light.<br />
<br />
Now, there are a couple of options for food (either of which is perfectly nummy and exceptable). The first is what I did when my grandparents came into town. It's a very large family style dinner-traditional and so tasty. The second is just ordering off the menu. <br />
<br />
The ribs are done really well. The bread can't be beat. And the have a roll of paper towels at your table alongside the five or so choices of sauce (of which traditional is my preferred). <br />
<br />
You'll be tempted by the dessert. I always was. But your eyes will be bigger than your stomach. It might seem a little pricey, but for all that you get-trust me. It's worth it. <br />
<br />
And you might want to make reservations on the weekends. But they'll still find a place for you. Make sure to get me a tye-dyed t-shirt next time you're in.

This Placeis the worst place to eat and the owners are the worst

I was disgusted after dining at the 4379 Las Vegas Blvd location: 1) the baby back ribs were dry and lacked flavor and 2) the hot links (2) - left on my plate after one bit - had a rubbery texture. The only thing that salvaged the lunch was dousing the watery sauce on the ribs to eat them, eating the cream corn and potato salad, and drinking the quart of sweetened tea.

Other than that, I wasted $21 and will not be returning to Memphis Championship Barbecue in this life time. Further, I do not understand how this particular location can justify NOT having a military discount. To me, it seems criminal to charge a military member full price. It is not like the food is any good to warrant such high prices.

Accordingly, I am going to give Memphis Championship Barbecue a 2 on a 5 scale. Whomever, gave this restaurant chain a five must have been paid to do so. Real barbecue lovers who have been to Texas, Kansas City, Memphis, and North Carolina know excellent barbecue when they eat it. This restaurant chain should be ashamed to advertise that it is a 3X world champion; the hype does not match the reality.

I love Memphis BBQ's food. Everything is always flavorful and the meat is always tender.
However the service is horrible. The servers are friendly but the wait is always atrocious. I've been in at all hours and it is always slow. It's even worse during the lunch and dinner rush as you have to wait up to 30 minutes for a table, then wait for the food...

Now when I want Memphis BBQ, I get it to go.

I eat at the Rainbow location.... Incredible always. If you like true BBQ, eat here. The King, the pulled pork sandwich, is the best item followed closely by the baby backs...
