Arnold's Bbq And Grill - Memphis

I visited this place in the weekend to celebrate the birthday of a friend. We were a bit late for the lunch. It was almost 2 pm, and still there were a few people finishing up. There was a party celebrating graduation, with a bunch of friends and family going on there. So the place was busy, however not fully packed. The server was nice and welcoming. We ordered a big platter with ribs, catfish and pulled pork. It cane with fries and beans. We ordered the collard greensand hush puppies on top of it, separately. And they charges almost 5$ for each additional sides. OMG! Although the place was not very crowded, the food took a while to arrive. Everything was super hot and fresh. The catfish was terrific.The pulled pork was great. All the sides were fantastic. However, I was a bit disappointed with the ribs. Absolutely I have had much tender, juicy, and smoky ribs earlier, someplace else, right in the Memphis. Maybe because of such goodreviews I had much expectations about the ribs at this Place! Or, it was just an accident. We were on the bad ribs day! Overall the meal was nice and quite filling for both of us. The fried catfish and the hush puppies hit the spotperfectly.

The people were so kind and for that reason alone I feel bad about posting this review. But as a visitor from California who drove to Memphis TN I owe it to others who make this trek to share my true opinions. I ordered the beef brisket dinner with up up charge for potato salad and mac and cheese. The max and cheese was bland and tasteless. This is not soul food mac and cheese but an off brand Kraft mac. It taste like a season less noodle and bechamel sauce. Disgustingwas the word that came to mind on first bite. The potato salad was super sweet. I?m not sure if someone went overboard on the sugar or if miracle whip was used. The texture was perfect but it was alarmingly sweet. The beef brisket servingwas small but well seasoned and delicious. Unfortunately, I can?t recommend. $26 for the pictured plate and a dinner roll.

Everything was top notch. 5-star service, delicious rips, crispy pommes, perfectly balanced sweet tee, also the cobbler was great. super impressed.

Great service fast and friendly. Lots of meat on ribs, tasty apps, broad menu. Would recommend to all! Will definitely be back.

Stopped by on a road trip through the South. They have delicious food and the service is AMAZING! So friendly
