~~~ Foodie Friday in Memphis ~~~

Thanks Gollum for hosting Foodie Friday... Go on over to Designs by Gollum and check out the rest of the great bloggers who have participated in this fun event...

Ok after we visited Elmwood Cemetery and the Victorian Village (that post to follow) we were starving. We decided cautiously to go visit Neely's BBQ because it is just down the street from the homes. As you may or may not know the Neely's have there own cooking show on the Food Network. Discovered by Paula Deen's sons when they had there travel food show and promoted by Paula Deen herself... they ended up with their cooking show. So they must be great RIGHT? Well when we were visiting Nashville with Norm & Chris we stopped in their restaurant for dinner one day. None of is were impressed and were all so disappointed. We all said that we would never go back to any of their restaurants again. Never is such a HUGE word and Ralph & I decided to visit the original Neely's BBQ in Memphis. Another chance would be granted. Thank goodness because it was one of the best meals we have had here. OK, OK, they have all been great meals at the great restaurants that we visited... So Neely's I take back my bad review... Your place in Memphis is awesome, food was excellent and our server David was the best!!!

We have arrived and Alyssah is already heading for the door

The inside was kind of dark & cozy... but David our server was like a ray of sunshine

Poppy, Memaw & Alyssah patiently waiting for our food

On the left is what Poppy had - Pulled Pork, BBQ Beans& Fries

I had Rib Tips, French Fires and the BEST Cole Slaw I have ever had

Our adventurist Alyssah has Chicken Tenders

After we ate Alyssah was suppose to get Ice Cream... They were out of the ice cream and felt so bad they brought us a huge piece of Mama Neely's "Sock It To Me Cake" for free... YUM!
It was filled with Brown Sugar, Cinnamon & Pecans... and served hot

All was so yummy... Please give them a try if you're near the area.

Until Later
