Tom's Bar-B-Q

Tom's Bar-B-Q in Memphis is best framed with the few practical details available here: the price is $20 per person, and the dress code is casual. That makes it an option to consider when the plan calls for an easygoing meal rather than a formal occasion.

Many specifics that diners often want to know should be confirmed directly with the venue before planning around them.

Go back for a casual Memphis meal, not for a formal night out

The clearest reason to choose Tom's Bar-B-Q is simplicity. With a $20 per person listed price and casual dress code, it fits a low-pressure outing where comfort matters more than ceremony. It should not be positioned as a polished special-occasion room unless you have confirmed details that match that plan.

There is also a recognition note: Tom's Bar-B-Q is a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Featured Bar in 2026. That gives the venue a useful point of reference, but it should be treated as one planning detail rather than a substitute for checking current hours, menu, and service information.

Who should pick it, and who should choose something else

Pick Tom's Bar-B-Q if your priority is a casual Memphis meal at a practical listed price. It is a better fit for diners who want an easygoing stop than for anyone building a night around a more formal or highly structured dining plan.

If the plan is broader than one meal, use Our full Memphis restaurants guide for other dining options, Our full Memphis bars guide for a second stop, or Our full Memphis hotels guide if the meal is part of a stay. For broader Memphis planning across categories, those guides may be more useful than trying to make one venue cover the whole outing.
