Ferdinands Grill & BBQ

Here is a hidden gem, family owned and operated. BBQ had a homemade sauce that was very flavorful. Sides were to die for. We had the greens, black eyed peas, dressing, and yams. The flavor of the yams was incredible. Worth a drive to try.

Came in at 1:45 on a Saturday and the lunch hour and business was booming. Definitely a local favorite as I heard the staff talking to folks by their name. The bbq sandwich was excellent and should be in the top 5 category for Memphis area. Homemade slaw and sauce in just the right amounts. One of the few bbq sandwiches that I did feel like needed more sauce. Judging from what I saw the people around me eating, the non bbq items must be just as good. Well worth the drive. Bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Enjoy

This place is very laid back & relaxing. U can actually sit & have a descent conversation while listening to music without listening to other people conversation. The humidity inside the restaurant was pleasant. U didn't have to worry about them having it so cold in there where u couldn't sit & enjoy yourself. Who wants to sit in a cold place freezing trying to eat a good hot meal? The catfish & Alfredo is delicious

They gave me rotten lettuce. Hid it under large amount of cheese and grilled chicken. They were great, but now not.

My partner chose this place after reading the reviews about how great the catfish is. I don't do seafood, but I love ribs, so we went. We were greeted as we came in and offered any table. The first thing the waiter told us, even before we asked, is that they were out of catfish and had only a half-rack of ribs left. My partner was very disappointed since he chose this restaurant especially to try the catfish. We should have left at that moment, but my partner decided to give the shrimp a try. I had the last of the ribs. While waiting for our meal we couldn't help but notice all the Bible verses and Jesus stuff hanging on the walls all around the restaurant, which made us a little uncomfortable. The shrimp that arrived were like something you buy in the frozen foods section at the grocery store and heat up at home. The ribs I got were dry, stringy and chewy, like they'd been reheated for several days in a row. Two ribs on the end of the rack were burnt to a black crisp. The baked beans were pretty good, and the slaw was adequate but didn't make up for the rest of the meal. I won't be back.
