The name worked then and still does today.We hope you enjoy our...

Germantown Commissary Restaurant Review

In its storied past, this rustic old building near the railroad tracks on Germantown Road was a country store peddling everything from blue jeans to bologna. Today, keeping the store’s original name, the Germantown Commissary offers authentic Memphis-style ribs, pulled pork and hot tamales. Memphians tend to pile barbecue meat onto everything from pizza to spaghetti, but the Commissary may be...

This popular barbecue eatery makes its home in a century-old former country store (aka commissary) next to the railroad tracks in downtown Germantown. The interior is fragrant with hickory smoke, and the food tastes as good as it smells. From the authentic, scrumptious ribs and pulled pork to the hot tamales, its popular barbecue-topped baked potato and homemade Southern desserts, Germantown...

Loyal locals pack this cozy Old Germantown favorite for heaping servings of hickory-smoked barbecue.

The Scene
Tucked away behind the tracks, this glorified shed bustles with business lunchers treating out-of-town clients and locals greeting servers by name. Hanging lanterns offset the...

Great food and friendly people! My husband and I ordered the Slab for Two. It came with coleslaw, beans, deviled eggs, a roll, and of course a slab of ribs! Also ordered a piece of Coconut Cream...

Being a frequent visitor to Memphis, I always look forward to the BBQ on offer here - dry rub, pulled pork...etc. Having driven past this place a few times, I managed to finally visit on Memorial...

If this is the best in Germantown, I'd hate to eat at the second best

We went to this restaurant based on the good reviews on Trip Advisor. The menu looked inviting. 2 of us tried the ribs and were very disappointed. They were tough, dry and flavorless. The other two in our party had the catfish special (strips) which were mostly breading with very little catfish. But to be fair the service was very...

Admittedly, I'm neither a BBQ connoisseur nor do I really like it, so take this for what it's worth, but the Germantown Commissary wasn't all it was touted to be. The chicken wings were great. I don't like sugar on my meat, but the sweetness in the rub really did balance out the saltiness.
I got the BBQ plate as...

Barbecue, Germantown's Best Restaurants: Located in a century-old former country store in downtown Germantown, the Germantown Commissary serves some of the best barbecue around in the tiny building it calls home. At certain times, you may even have to yell your order to the waiter - literally; the restaurant is adjacent to the train tracks, which are busy night and day.
