What folks are saying...

Don’t just take our word for it – reviews from real customers who can’t get enough of TOPS Bar-B-Q.

The brisket and cream cheese breakfast sandwich is outstanding. It deserves just as much love as their burgers. Top notch!

If you are from Memphis, then you know about Tops. It is our local chain BBQ restaurant. Known for their "Chopped" pork BBQ sandwich. Every other restaurant in this city does a "pulled" pork sandwich. It is an amazing sandwich and quick. Like any true southerner, make sure you get slaw on the sandwich. The unsung hero at Tops is the cheeseburger though. It is consistent and soooo good. Go check them out.

Absolutely amazing!!! Everything was outstanding. Very flavorful and awesome sauces. Olive Branch, MS location.

Best BBQ for the money, PERIOD. so affordable and soooo good!!!!!

Always stop at this place when going thru or coming to Memphis. BBQ at its best.

Just got the chance eat at Tops Barbecue which I hadn't done since I left Memphis years ago. I wasn't disappointed, it was as good as I remembered. I'm going back because there are additions to the menu I want to try. I'm looking forward to going back again. I recommend it still. It's good to know some things haven't changed.

There is no place like home 💙💛 I Love Tops Barbecue!!

I'm from Alabama and came to visit a friend and we stopped by 3/23/24 and got a Turkey burger and a Double Cheese Burger all I can say is Chefs kiss!!!!! The burgers were absolutely perfect!!!! I had to come back before going back home!!!

By far the best burger I have ever had. Reminds me of the burgers I ate when I was a child. Get that double cheeseburger and you will NOT be disappointed. Awesome staff, treat you like family.

When I think of a burger, [Tops is] perfect. I think it's the best.

Best BBQ In Memphis, ribs were fire. 🔥

They have the best burger 🍔 in the city! No matter what Location!

The value for your dollar is crazy here. The food is always incredible and service is always kind and fast. Anyone rating this place below a 5 is drunk.

Tops pulled pork sandwich is my favorite of all barbecue. Period.

One of the best BBQ places I have ever been to in my life. Extremely good quality BBQ food and very good and quick service. Amazing BBQ sauces and a lot of good options. If you are in this area go here for food.

I wanted to try some good Memphis BBQ and I was not disappointed. I ordered the half slab of ribs side of fries and potato salad. I just want to say as a Texas Boy who loves BBQ these ribs were so tender and seasoned well. They pulled apart with ease and the flavor was on point. I will definitely be coming back and sampling more. If you are close by stop and try the BBQ. Keep up the great food!

Great southern BBQ, I got the ribs and they were top notch. Well worth the time.

Memphis is one competitive city, especially for BBQ. Many places have life-changing BBQ dishes and sides. I finally tried a sandwich at Tops. I’m telling you that I just enjoyed the absolute best BBQ sandwich I’ve ever had in Memphis! It was perfect! And I’ve had a lot of great BBQ here.
