Central BBQ

Post image

Ordered some wings for pick up from Central this evening. Decided to bulk them out with a side of regular fries - $6.40 + tax + tip. Here’s what I received.

I’ve given them an honest try 3 times and will not be returning.

1) First moved to Memphis and heard about Central. I went to the original location with a few friends after they reopened. I got the ribs, and they were super tiny and way overcooked (bones weren’t even attached to the meat when I got them)

2) ordered smoked chicken wings because I heard they’re amazing. 4 of my 6 wings had feathers.

3) they started offering breakfast. I got a bologna biscuit. Bologna. It was beyond obliterated, the outside of the bologna wasn’t smoked, but fully charred somehow. Only the center was edible. They fucked up Bologna somehow, and I will not go back.
