Review by Cory Roberts

Payne’s Bar-B-Que is an absolute gem! 🥪 The moment you step in, you're welcomed by a cozy, casual atmosphere that feels like home. I indulged in the Chopped Shoulder Sandwich, and let me tell you, it's the best pulled pork I've ever had in Memphis!

The bun is perfectly toasted, and the mustard-based slaw adds a unique kick. 🌶️ Their BBQ Smoke Sausage was a hit too! Plus, the service feels like family - super friendly and attentive. If you're craving legendary Memphis BBQ, Payne's is a must-visit! Can't wait to return! 🎉
