Tom's Barbecue, Barbecue restaurant on Getwell Road, Memphis, United States.
Tom's Barbecue is a barbecue restaurant on Getwell Road that specializes in smoked meats including pulled pork, ribs, and brisket cooked over open pits with hickory wood and charcoal. The cooking method creates a flavorful crust on the meat through hours of low-temperature smoking.
A Greek immigrant established the restaurant in 1982 by converting a former grocery store into a barbecue operation. Ownership changed hands in 1995, bringing new direction to the business.
The restaurant's signature barbecue rub combines Mediterranean spices including oregano, thyme, basil, nutmeg, and cinnamon with traditional Memphis barbecue methods.
The restaurant provides delivery services and can accommodate larger groups in its dining area. Advance notice is helpful when planning to visit with a large party to ensure availability and reduce wait times.
Each meat selection undergoes a minimum twenty-four hour marination process in a special spice blend before cooking over the pit. This extended marination allows flavors to penetrate deeply into the meat, creating depth on the palate.
