I've been buying the smoked salad garden salad for a while. The price has increased, and the quality has decreased. They're using an iceberg lettuce mix and the ranch dressing is watered down. ???? Look at it. It cost $15 plus some change. In my opinion, it is not worth the money. Go elsewhere for a chicken salad, unless you have money to give away. I won't buy this again, at least not at this location.

Indoor and outdoor seating plus a drive-thru. Corky’s was busy but service was quick and our server was amazing. The Memphis style sauce was a hit with everyone. Nice casual place to stop for a bite! … More

The food was amazing. Getting the ribs half and half (half wet and half dry) was a great option to try both styles, and both were great! The dry rub on the ribs was by far my favorite. They sell the sauce and dry rub in the store. When we went, they were completely out of the original dry rub to buy, showing how great it must be in store as well as for your own recipe! I would highly recommend this place to those traveling through Memphis as it was the best ribs I've ever had!
