Madie’s Bar-B-Que

I heard from some real BBQ experts that this was THE best place in the South for ribs so I had to check this out for myself. Madie’s (or Sunset Inn) is a total dive joint in the heart of the ghetto and it looks kinda scary from the outside but don’t let that deter you. The lady who owns the joint is super nice and has PERFECTED BBQ. Not sure what her secret is, but these are slow-​roasted, cooked all day, fall-​of-​the-​bone meat with the best sauce I’ve ever had (it has a bit if a spicy kick to it). The best ribs I’ve ever had… And I’ve been to Memphis AND Texas! The beans and potato salad was pure heaven too! Generous portions. Forget those franchises and big name restaurants and tourist traps. This is a family owned, backyard cooking at its finest!
