World Champion BBQ Chefs Melissa Cookston and John Wheeler have a history competing across the land at a variety of different BBQ cooking contests. Each is a two-time World Champion and Cookston holds the distinction being THE only female BBQ World Champion.

 

After years competing against one another, Cookston and Wheeler decided to join forces combining talents to offer the best quality BBQ fare that has ever been tasted opening the Memphis Barbecue Company restaurant in Horn Lake, Miss. The ONLY restaurant in America to feature Two World Champion Pitmasters! Wheeler of Natural Born Grillers – the Smokin Aces BBQ Grand Champion for 2010 – and Cookston of Yazoo’s Delta Q – the 2010 Memphis in May Grand Champion – have joined forces to bring you the most succulent BBQ anywhere. Conveniently located off Exit 282 of I-55 on Goodman Road, Memphis Barbecue Company is the collaborative dream come true for both award-winning chefs. After years traveling the competition circuit from Washington, DC to Los Angeles, Cookston said it was time to bring her game to a new level.

Good food and good service. Ribs and barbecue spaghetti was great. My daughter loved the donut burger. Friends say smoked wings are good.

So, the restaurant was recommended as a local person's favorite. I grew up in Central Texas, and have an opinion about brisket. Skeptically, I tried it...WOW. Extremely good. The baby back ribs, dry, are the closest to what I make at home that I have ever eaten. When I took my GF, she said, "those are just like yours"! This IS my favorite BBQ place in Memphis. Not a big fan of their cole slaw or corn bread, but that;s just a style thing. I recommend this place to everyone! The service and atmosphere makes me a welcomed guest every time. Thanks y'all. Seriously.

Delicious. Enough said.

We first became aware of the M.B.C-Memphis BarB-Q Co. While watching the BBQ Pitmasters championships. So, while we were in town my wife and I wanted to try and find it-which we did. This Barbeque is so of best I have ever eaten. I am a Texas boy through and true. But this barbeque can stand with the best. The staff were almost as awesome as the food. I will talk about this for a long time. Simply-AMAZING.
