The Memphis Roadhouse is so good
that it won a "Best of Rhode Island" award for barbecue
food. That's quite impressive considering the Memphis Roadhouse
is located in Massachusetts.
Specializing in mouthwatering
ribs, steaks and chicken, the Memphis Roadhouse in South Attleboro,
Mass. (10 minutes north of Providence, R.I.), might just be the
best barbecue restaurant in the south -- southern New England,
that is. Faithfully sticking to traditional barbecue cooking
over a hickory-smoked barbecue pit, the smoky flavors of their
barbecue chicken, Memphis Roadhouse ribs, mid-western steaks
hand cut in their own butcher shop, Texas
beef brisket and other succulent offerings would make anyone
from south of the Mason-Dixon line proud.
On a recent visit, we sampled
some amazing barbecue chicken, pulled pork, tasty beans, homemade
cornbread and a giant Caesar salad resulting in one of the best
meals we've experienced in a long time. The atmosphere in this
large restaurant is appealing, also, with rocking chairs on a
large outside farmer's porch and inside, red gingham table
coverings, party lights, neon lights,
tin torpedo lamps, a high and lonesome bar separated from the
dining room, blues collectibles and real blues music in the background.
They even have an ice cream stand in the back of the restaurant!
The Memphis Roadhouse is certainly
not for faithful dieters or vegetarians, but for those who like
to eat barbecue food and lots of it, the Memphis Roadhouse delivers
the southern goods in its Yankee location.
