Reputation is very plastic and the food is highly overrated.First visit was good second and last time visit was a joke! Service was non-exisistanrt, resturant was dirty, food was a waste of money. I called the returant asking for a owner to call me about the visit with no response. Their T V show that really is not that good has taken away from their once good resturant. Save your money and eat somewhere else.

I have lived in Memphis for about 8 years now and had Neely's for the first time (Pat & Gina's). I knew the type of neighborhood it was in, that didn't bother me. It was the appearance of the inside that had me skeptical (husband insisted anyway). The inside was nasty, sticky, and greasy looking. The food was worse. I had a chopped ...

Terrible! My husband and I were so disappointed. We had limited time on our recent trip to Memphis, and coud only select one BBQ place to try. Based on their show & reputation, we selected Neely's from the many barbeque places in town. The meat in my beef sandwich was so crusty and dry that I couldn't eat it! We are not picky eaters, ...

Me and my wife decided to stay over night on our way fron chicago to Houston so we decided to go to Neely's since my wife watches the show. i must honestly say that there barbeque was the worst I have ever tasted. The sauce was watered down, the meat taste as if it was not seasoned. The beef ribs tasted like it was cooked two days ago, not ...

I am a big fan of Neely's Barbque. We usually eat at the location on winchester or olive branch, we even like interstate(the uncle's place). I love their sauce, so when I read the review from another customer, I had to post something. Each location is owned by a different family member, with that being said;you did not eat at Pat and ...

My mom loves their show and wanted to try out their restaurant on our way to Mississippi. I really thought we were in for something special since they have their on TV show. I was really surprised when we pulled up in the parking lot to a less than desirable building, which is not in the greatest part of town. The inside is even worse. Very old ...

Being on the tube does not make a restaurant good! Should have read reviews before going here. Ribs are like chewing on a rock hard piece of jerky. Service lousy... Something is wrong with this place!

Perhaps fame has had an impact... not as good as it once was and more expensive!

Was in Memphis on vacation. Was very excited to try the Neelys restaurant after watching them on the food network. But I was horribly disappointed with the service, the food and the restaurant. I think the Neelys need to get back to their restaurant and take care of the business that started their fame. The ribs were the consistency of beef ...
