Have you ever waited at the traffic light at Old Hickory Blvd. and Franklin Road, only to catch a tantalizing whiff of hickory smoke? Noticed cars packed in the wedge-shaped lot or snaking through the drive-thru after work?
If so, you've spotted what we consider the best BBQ in Brentwood: Corky's!
Don't let the franchise part throw you. Yes, this the same Corky's that helps make Memphis the BBQ capital of the world. Corky's features true Tennessee BBQ, even if it doesn't have Brentwood roots.
--->Did you know that customers are SO loyal to Corky's, they have
ribs on dry ice shipped all over the country?
We have eaten at the Brentwood Corky's on several occasions. Here's why we enjoy it again and again:
- The interior has a comfortable, Tennessee feel with quiet booths AND sports on TV.
- You have several meats from which to choose: pulled pork, smoked chicken, beef brisket or pork ribs.
- Low-carbers or diabetics can order BBQ "dry"--coated with a pungent powder instead of sweet sauce.
- Each table receives a basket of moist, flavorful corn muffins. Let's just say my family fights over every crumb!
- A choice of down-home sides, the best of which is clearly the creamy potato salad sprinkled with dry rub.

I wish I could say that Corky's paid me to write this review. (Mmmm...how about a paycheck of hot, smoky ribs?) Unfortunately, we're just the average Brentwood family who is addicted to its great food and comfortable atmosphere.

I've always loved their food and now they have live music on Tuesday night, outdoors. There's a duo playing some great old blues from 6-9 pm and it's like being at someone's backyard BBQ party. And if the weather is bad, they play inside.
Just last week I had Corky's pulled pork BBQ that was shipped as a gift to our office in Marietta, GA. It was still good & smoky even after a couple of months in the freezer. I ate at the very same Corky's that your family frequents when I traveled to Nashville on business a couple of years ago. Very good eats. I also liked the flavor of Neely's Barbecue located just a couple of miles from Corky's.
