My family and I were in the mood for BBQ, so we decided to give this place a try, and I’m really glad we did! The brisket was decent, and the sauce was delicious, generously smothered on top. If you prefer, you can ask for the sauce on the side as well. The green beans and potato salad were both fantastic, and my daughter loved her nuggets. My husband was also very satisfied with his meal. The dinner plates are incredibly generous; my brisket plate was enough to feed two people! The ordering process is straightforward—you simply go to the counter to place your order and then wait to be called to pick up your food. They have plenty of tables, so you can enjoy your meal right in the restaurant. Overall, it’s a great spot for BBQ!

My husband and I have visited Neely’s twice in the past month. Both times were absolutely amazing. The rib tips, smoke sausage and ribs were all amazing!!! We are very much looking forward to our next meal there. The next time you’re thinking about good barbecue, keep Neely’s on Winchester in mind.

OMG!!!!! Best BBQ ever. The brisket was so tender that I didn’t even need a knife. The ribs fell off the bone. The green beans and potato salad were spot on. And to top it all off, their homemade sauce was phenomenal!!

From the moment we walked in, the owner made us feel genuinely welcomed. The food arrived fresh, right on time, and was absolutely delicious. The level of service took me back to how great dining out used to be before the pandemic; attentive, warm, and thoughtful. My chicken breast sandwich was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. This is Memphis barbecue done right, and it’s well worth the visit.

“These are the BEST beef ribs east of the Mississippi! Juicy, tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection. Smoked to glory with just the right bark.
Even my dog Shasta couldn’t resist. She got her own rib & wouldn’t share it back. This ain’t just BBQ, this is a religious experience.”

That Neely’s Interstate BBQ Beef Rib Slab looks so good, it should come with a warning label. The first image makes it look like it belongs in a food magazine… but that second shot? That’s the real-deal BBQ street cred—meaty, bark-covered, smoky goodness you have to eat with your hands and wipe off with your sleeve.
Shasta the Rib Slayer in the third photo? Come on now! That dog’s living better than half of America. She’s locked in, paws gripping the bone like it owes her money. Pure focus. Zero regrets.

Flavor so rich it should be taxed.
Even my dog Shasta said “don’t talk to me, I’m busy.”
Best ribs east of the Mississippi—change my mind.

From service to food, this place was top notch. We were greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable staff who helped us figure out our order. The beef ribs were delicious and I had no idea I could eat as much of it as I did! The hot link had just the right spice and texture. The green beans are some of the best I have ever tasted and I grew up in the south, so I have had my fair share of beans. Neely’s is a true gem of Memphis and shouldn’t be missed.

Visiting from Texas, NEELY’s was fantastic!
Friendly staff and family vibes, the food was full of love. The beef ribs were so different from anything I’ve ever had and easily the most interesting. The bark was chewy and smokey while the meat was perfectly tender. The BBQ Spaghetti on the other hand was actually insane. Never came across something like it, but it just works so well! Absolute must try if you’ve never had it before.
We also got a slice of the pecano pie (pecans and sweet potato) and it was wonderful. Not too sweet, tasted like campfire candied pecans in a sweet potato casserole but with way less sugar.
10/10 would recommend.

I wanted bbq and don’t eat pork and they was out of everything I asked for. No turkey legs, no chopped turkey, no chopped beef, no brisket, no beef ribs… it was my first visit and I just had to walk out.

Normally the the rib tip plate is awesome,I got my order on yesterday,the tips were hard and kind of hard to chew,I called and spoke with the owner,he stated he has never had a complaint and he didnot know what to tell me,I spoke with his wife and stated we didnot want money back but I was going to bring in the plate,she was very nice and stated that was my choice and fine,I have recommended several people their, but no more,I spent 37$ and had to throw the plates away, Mr.Ken stated he has never had an issue,but anyone who knows business knows in order to cook well you will have complaints in order to get better,but once again,this was my 1st time purchasing a rib tip plate that was tough and my last time ,supporting or sending anyone their.
