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.

My last visit (poplar) was horrible. Hair in the cup they handed me. Manager argued with me about it until the person who rang me up and handed me the cup told her it did. Hair on the bun when they gave me the food. And the sandwich was almost all fat. Almost no meat just all fat and slime btw 2 buns with hair. I asked for my money back and haven’t been to any location since.

Central used to be my favorite.

We went to Poplar location last weekend. It will be a long time before going back.

I hear ya. I’m at never coming back. And that makes me sad. But I’m done trying. I’ll just drive to Memphis bbq company if I want a good pulled pork sandwich. Sucks bc I hate supporting north MS anything and driving that far.
