George's Bbq - Collierville

I finally went to George's for a BBQ sandwich and sides and was very pleasantly surprised. I really didn't think you could do good BBQ in a strip center position. The pork sandwich with Cole Slaw was delicious and huge. I would put it there with one of the Memphis BBQ places. The Makkaroni bites were very good. The beans were good. They are a little on the sweet side, but very good, unless you don't like sweet. I will definitely go back

I had the pulled pork sandwich with macaroni bites and coleslaw. While the later two were very good, the sandwich was less then stellar. The pork itself was tasty, but there was no BBQ sauce on it and the sauce at the table was bland. The bright side however was that there was plenty of pork on the sandwich.

The food and service was very good. We had the pulled/chopped chicken sandwich, ribs, and wings w/fries. Everything we ordered was good. The barbecue sauce was really good. I would definitely recommend it.

In a city renowned for its BBQ, it’s refreshing to find a place that offers a different style. George's leans more towards the made-fresh BBQ of Austin, TX, rather than the traditional Memphis approach. They prepare just enough BBQ for the day, so it's best to arrive early, as they sometimes run out—this is a testament to the quality of their food. On my first visit, we started with ribs, but couldn't resist trying the pulled pork, brisket, and smoked wings as well. Each dish was well-spiced and perfectly smoked, complemented by a variety of their homemade sauces. The sides were also unique compared to typical Memphis fare, featuring a zesty coleslaw and a non-traditional potato salad, both of which were excellent (they also offer fries and beans). The portion sizes were generous, and the staff was attentive throughout our meal. The only downside was that their burgers seemed somewhat lackluster compared to the rest of the menu, but I look forward to exploring more of their offerings in the future.

The brisket is some of the best I've had in a long time! It had a beautiful texture, a great bark and smoke ring, and a unique spicy flavor. I also ordered a few pounds of pork, which was very tasty, and some racks of ribs to complement the brisket. I will definitely be back and recommend ordering in advance if you're planning to get more than a few pounds of beef brisket! It's great to have a new BBQ spot in town!
