Additional Information: Corky’s BBQ: A Legendary Memphis Tradition In 1984, Don Pelts had a bold vision: to create a barbecue restaurant in East Memphis like no other. A place where a warm, full-service dining room could exist alongside a quick and convenient drive-through—bringing the best of both worlds together under one roof. And just like that, Corky’s BBQ was born. From the start, Corky’s was more than just a restaurant—it was a family. Don and his passionate team were dedicated to serving up the finest BBQ, using only the best cuts of meat, slow-smoked the old-fashioned way over real hickory wood and charcoal. But it wasn’t just about the food—it was about the experience. Corky’s quickly became known for its welcoming hospitality, where every guest was treated like part of the family. It didn’t take long for Corky’s to become a Memphis favorite, drawing locals and tourists from all over the world. In a city famous for its competitive BBQ scene, Corky’s stood out as the ORIGINAL Legendary BBQ of Memphis. Whether it’s our fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender pulled pork, or mouthwatering brisket, people couldn’t get enough. Today, Corky’s has grown far beyond its original location. With 4 restaurants in the Memphis area, plus locations in Brentwood, Pigeon Forge, and Little Rock, AR, we’ve stayed true to our roots while bringing our legendary BBQ to even more communities. And thanks to our grocery store products and nationwide shipping, you don’t have to live near a Corky’s to experience the flavor and tradition that made us famous. From our hickory pits to your table, Corky’s BBQ is proud to share our love of Memphis BBQ with the world.
