Emily Brueck: Corn and crab hush puppies are a must. You can't go wrong with any of the po boys. And the bread pudding? To die for. Added bonus - the service is incredible!
Samantha Fong: If you love po boys, you'll love this. Shouldn't be a surprise, though. Kelly English knows how to cook a meal.
Austin Jones: Awesome roast beef poboy and BBQ shrimp!
Brad Bishop: It takes a lot of cajones to open a BBQ shack in Memphis. And Elwood's Shack delivers! I thought the small sandwich would be enough, but the flavors were so amazing I could have eaten 2 more!
Genevieve White: The brisket sandwich is to die for! It may differ from the usual BBQ food in Memphis, as it is Texas style, but that adds to its value. It is the only bbq of this taste and quality in Memphis.
Gena White: Beef brisket sandwich is amazing. It is texas style so don't expect the Memphis taste, but it is still one of the best places to grab a quality, quick meal.
