“ Stopped for breakfast, I had a breakfast sandwich, 2 sausage patties, egg, cheese and a touch of mustard it was delicious. My wife had corned beef and hash Benedict and she said it was delicious. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. GPS almost gets you there, front of building faces Lowe's. Definitely a dive dinner vibe. ”

“ Do not come to this place unless you want the best BBQ in Memphis. The Ribs and Brisket are top notch. The service was friendly and happy the entire time we were there. The building is set up like an old rock-n-roll concert venue mixed with a blues feel. Will definitely go back to Memphis just to get some great food from Elwood's! ”

“ We had their platter that had a little bit of everything. I personally am not a fan of BBQ but my husband and dog are, and Elwood's were their request. I actually loved it all. I've tried BBQ in Texas and Louisiana, this place was de-li-cious. Very worth it ”

“ Food was awesome!! Hit this place on a whim. Small but outside tables. Right next to a Lowes as I recall. ”

“ This place was recommended by my husband's coworkers. We were in the area so decided to try it out. When we first got there I thought we were lost since I didn't see it at first. It literally looks like a shack next to Lowe's. Very "home" feeling entrance as you enter two doors like a house. The lady at the register (I didn't get her name) was very helpful when we told her we were first timers. She showed us the menu that has all the highlights of their best sellers to make it a bit easier to select and start off. We ordered the combo plate with brisket and burnt ends, and the soup of the day a cup of shrimp corn chowder. When the chowder came it was bigger than I expected. It tasted just like my grandma's with that shrimp twist to it. Needless to say I devoured it. The combo came and although pic may look messy, it was delicious. The burnt ends had the right amount of flavor with that jalepeno kick at the end. The brisket was tender and the fat just melts in your mouth. It was so good that I barely used the bbq sauce with it. As for the sides, the beans were good, and the slaw was one of the better ones we've had, but the potato salad was best. Definitely the recommendation did not disappoint. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. ”

“ Absolutely incredible BBQ.. driving coast to coast we desided we needed to stop for BBQ and this place had great reviews and was close to our route 40.. as we walked in we were immediately greeted by the man behind the counter.. through a cheerful smile he told us the highlights of the menu.. he could not have been more pleasant.. food was fantastic.. I went with the plate and got pulled pork brisket and debris.. spicy slaw and beans. The gal got a pulled pork sandwich.. l inhaled mine.. nothing left but a clean plate.. hers was piled so high she had to eat half of it with a fork.. do yourself a flavor.. check this spot out.. ”

“ While in Memphis, on the eternal quest for the best hole in the wall barbecue, we made our way to Elwood's Shack. Located literally in the parking lot of a Home Depot, this little shack serves up some tasty food. Despite craving barbecue, both my father and husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and I ordered the debris Poboy. Not quite barbecue, but I definitely do not regret my decision. The debris Poboy was quite tasty and could easily hold its own against any New Orleans Poboy. The potato salad was delicious as well and I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a good bite to eat. ”

“ Stopped here on a long drive from Nashville to Dallas. Approaching the restaurant we almost thought we were in the wrong place as it's literally a small shed looking structure that is very much befitting its name. The unpaved lot and beat up cars did not stop us and we ventured in to be met with super friendly service and even more delicious barbecue. I would highly recommend getting the Memphis dry rub ribs with a side of the sauce because the dry rub was so tasty and different than what you may get at corporatized bbq joints or in Texas. ”

“ We were only driving thru Memphis and looked for a good BBQ joint. Of course I rely heavily on my fellow Yelpers for experiences. We couldn't pass this up, even though it's off the beaten path and we were driving a big U-Haul truck. You can easily drive by it because it's tucked behind a business on Summer. There's also very little parking. Just park and follow your nose to the smell of great BBQ. Don't let the outside fool ya! Once you step foot inside, it transforms into a quaint restaurant with incredible aroma and very homey! It took a few minutes to peruse the menu; especially since we had one shot at trying to pick the best choice. They were very helpful and I asked if I could just get a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. It wasn't in the menu but they made it happen. Not a long wait but the tables filled up fast. We got our food and oh boy!!!! It was even better than it looked. I'm drooling just thinking about the savory flavors. One of the best bbq sandwiches I've had in a long time. Everything was absolutely perfect This place deserves a 6th ”
