Let's see... in Memphis, you'll have quite a few choices, that's for sure.
Rendezvous is wonderful, especially if you are a fan of dry rub ribs. But go early, the wait can be pretty long sometimes on the weekends.
Another great place in Memphis is Central BBQ. There is one on Summer Ave. and one on (you guessed it) Central Ave. in Midtown.
Interstate BBQ is another one that is on most people's "list" in Memphis.
Corky's is good too, but it's not just a Memphis thing. There is (at least) one in Nashville (Brentwood Area) and there is one in Jackson, TN (which is on I-40 between the two... so if you're looking to hit up somewhere on the road, it'd be a good place to stop).
In Nashville, the Loveless Cafe (at the end of the Natchez Trace) actually has very good BBQ. It's about a half mile from my parent's house, so we go there a good bit.
If you are north of Nashville, Centerpoint BBQ is AMAZING. It's on Gallitan Rd. at the edge of Goodlettsville & Hendersonvile.
Another good place in Nashville is a little take-out place called Whitt's BBQ. There are quite a few of them around town. A little different, as they have a thin, vinager based sauce.
And if you are south of Nashville, you can try Corky's (as mentioned) in Brentwood and there used to be a place in Franklin called Herbert's BBQ. It was great, but I haven't been there in a few years and I'm not sure if it's still there are not.
Sorry for the long list... believe me, I definitely DID cut the list down. I guess that's what I get for growing up in Nashville, going to college in Jackson, and now living right outside of Memphis. Hope it helps!
