From someone who lives in Memphis and who also believes The BBQ Shop is the best BBQ in the city, I’m so glad you guys stopped here! I’ve known Eric for years and he is as genuine as they come.

[adamhenderson]

Favorite bits: 1) Josh wearing a white shirt to a BBQ joint, 2) plates filled with bare bones, 3) Eric’s humility and love for his food and patrons, 4) Josh going crazy over baked beans!

[physicsfan]

I don't know which is more impressive... the BBQ, or the fact that he survived a BBQ dinner with a completely white shirt unstained. That is a truly remarkable feat!

[IndomitableAde]

As for them going in with utensils, 5:12, "I'm sorry I let it get that far." I am WHEEZING! 😂😂😂

[geminiqueen]

5:17 Eric saved so many Americans from being triggered. A true patriot to our country 🫡

[jeffs]

As a native Memphian, thank you for going here instead of that tourist trap rendezvous

[mirojone]

The owner is so humble about his product that is how you know they really are INCREDIBLE. Olly saying ten times better is believable.

[catherinew]

I thought they were sponsored by Spam when Ollie started the sponsor section and I honestly didn't even question it

[jeffrobbins]

Thanks to the Brit guys for showing everyone the best BBQ in Memphis. Eric is my next door neighbor and friend. Im not being biased when I say that his BBQ is my favorite, not only in Memphis, but the best I have eaten. The sauce is out of this world. He has a hot sauce too, but be careful, its HHHOOOTTT!!! The beans are the best around and the slaw is good too. So much better than the tourist traps.

12:44 Ollie trying so hard to make Eric laugh and Josh accidentally making him crack up in laughter was too funny to me 😂

[banjoishere]

ollie's dedication to sponsors in unmatched

[jamiesuejeffery]

Right before the owner came in, I actually exclaimed out loud, “Why the hell do you have a knife in your hand??? You should just have a rib in your hand!”

[ceelavee]

Without fail... most guests will always wind up making eye contact with Ollie for the rest of the video. 😂 He's awesome

[StephanieVeeMusic]

I love how Josh and Ollie keep getting in trouble and getting yelled at in the South for the most random things 😂😂😂😂😂😂💜💜💜💜💜

[PudgyPedalPusher]

Big respect for the owner who was just genuine and real the entire time. He knows his food is good but past that lets folks speak beyond that even though he’s won national food awards. That’s a great cook and an even better student of the BBQ scene. Much respect!

[Caranora]

Well gentlemen you have inspired me to take a ride to Midtown, I'm "within walking distance" and I can't believe I have lived in Memphis this long and have never tried The Bar-B-Q Shop! I really hope the owner is there so I can point that photo on the wall out to him and tell him Jolly sent me! So happy you guys enjoyed yourselves in Memphis

[GranpaMike]

Hat's off to Eric, so nice to see a person so dedicated to his craft. Years ago, I was co-owner of a restaurant and I fully understand the pride he feels in knowing how much his patrons enjoy his work. My wife loves BBQ pork ribs, I think a trip to Memphis would be a great birthday gift. ;)

[hitloloops]

My wife's father used to have a business right next door- bbq shop ended up purchasing it when they got bigger for more dining space. Eric is a cool guy, still go there at least once a month. BBQ shop is the quintessential Memphis BBQ spot.

I think speaking on behalf of all Americans, That Josh and Ollie are now considered Honorary Americans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[choochoo]

Josh has 'tourist' written all over him before he even opens his mouth. White shirt in a bbq joint...LMAO.
