I grew up in Memphis and hadn't heard of Payne's. But it came up on a google search as one of the top BBQ places in Memphis, so as soon as I landed, my brother and I went here for lunch!We shared the rib plate (comes with 6 ribs, cole slaw, beans, and bread). It came out to be about $18 with bottled water. Not bad at all! We got mild sauce (can also choose medium or spicy). The sauce is sweet but still had a bit of spicy, but next time I'd go for the medium spicy level. The cole slaw was very vinegary, which pairs well with the sweet BBQ sauce. The beans had pieces of brisket in it, which added more flavor and depth.This is a no-frills local BBQ joint; I recommend stopping by for some bites if you're a Memphis BBQ fan!

Note that the potato salad is very good but heavy on the mustard and the meat leans towards more vinegar. Don’t be turned off by the lack of decor; the food is worth it. Get there early because they do sell out.
