We take our BBQ seriously here in Mississippi, and Jim Neely’s Interstate BBQ is a great representation of that. The decades old BBQ joint serves up a slew of smoky goodness, including what’s been deemed the best BBQ sandwich in America. Take a look:

Jim Neely’s Interstate BBQ opened its first location in Memphis years ago. Today, the eatery has three locales – two in Memphis and one in Southaven.

The self-proclaimed modest pork house doesn’t contend to be anything fancy – and that’s quite alright because the great grub speaks volumes.

Inside the humble eatery, you’ll find a huge menu, which is brimming with mouthwatering BBQ, plastered on the wall.

The menu isn’t the only thing adorning the wall, though. One wall in particular acts as a wall of fame, touting its celebrity fans and accolades.

Speaking of accolades, Jim Neely’s has received plenty of them, including USA Today deeming it the best place in America for a pork BBQ sandwich.

Over the years, the eatery has been recognized by countless other publications, including Vogue and People Magazine, which rated it as the second best barbecue in the nation.

The seemingly never-ending array of awards makes complete sense once you sink your teeth into the restaurant’s mouthwatering ribs, sausages, shoulder meat, bologna, and array of sides.

So, just what is it that makes the BBQ so irresistible? Well, there are a few things that contribute to its tastiness, including specialty built BBQ pits, which produce meat that’s fall-off-the-bone tender.

Secret BBQ sauce is another contributing factor – and sure to make a lasting impression on your taste buds.
