Why Corky’s sets the gold standard

Welcome to Corky’s BBQ Food Manufacturing, where every bite is a testament to the Memphis tradition. Our journey began in 1984, and since then, Corky’s has epitomized authentic, old-fashioned BBQ. We’re not just in the business of BBQ; we’re continuing a legacy of excellence that keeps our customers returning for that genuine Corky’s taste.

At Corky’s, we stand apart by adhering to the traditional methods that define great BBQ. We still fire up real hickory wood logs and charcoal in our seasoned smokers—just like in our original restaurant. This time-honored technique allows the distinctively rich, smoky flavor of locally sourced seasoned hickory wood to permeate our meats, a flavor you can truly taste in every bite.

We believe that great BBQ starts with the highest quality meat. Our skilled pitmasters are masters of their craft, turning premium cuts into perfectly smoked BBQ. At Corky’s, the meat is the real star. While our sauce is crafted to complement the hickory-smoked flavor, it’s the succulent meat that truly shines. From spare ribs and baby back ribs to hand-pulled BBQ pork and shredded chicken, every product we offer is of true restaurant quality, stemming from our deep-rooted restaurant heritage.

Our management team, seasoned veterans from our restaurants, ensure that every product lives up to the Corky’s standard—authentic in taste, appearance, and aroma. This expertise guarantees that every meal we serve upholds the integrity of our original Memphis-born recipe, beloved worldwide.

At Corky’s Food Manufacturing, our meticulous attention to detail extends throughout the manufacturing process. From selecting the finest ingredients to the careful smoking over genuine hickory, we preserve the legacy of Corky’s quality in every package. This is how we deliver not just a meal, but an authentic piece of Memphis heritage in every bite.

As we continue to grow, our commitment to doing things right remains unchanged. Our legacy is about more than just maintaining traditions; it’s about setting the gold standard for what BBQ should be. Join us on this flavorful journey, and experience the legacy of Corky’s BBQ that promises to delight for generations to come.
