“ Craft Texas Style BBQ in Cooper Young ”
Bain Barbecue is a Texas-inspired BBQ restaurant located in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee's historic Cooper Young District. Founded in 2019 by Texas native Bryant Bain, the restaurant is dedicated to serving up authentic, craft barbecue using only the finest, sustainably-sourced meats.
Bain's passion for barbecue was ignited at a young age, as he spent time competing in Texas BBQ competitions with his parents. He fell in love with the slow, meticulous process of transforming tough cuts of meat into mouthwatering, flavorful dishes.
At Bain Barbecue, every element of the menu is handcrafted on-site, from the 24-hour slow-smoked brisket and ribs to the homemade sides and desserts. The restaurant sources its meats from high-quality, sustainable farms, ensuring that each bite is not only delicious, but also ethically produced.
Bain's mission is to "rescue" customers from "boring barbecue" by offering a truly unique and memorable dining experience. The restaurant's Texas-inspired flair is evident in menu items like the "Texas Twinkie" (a smoked jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and brisket) and the "Jalapeno Lime Slaw".
With its lively atmosphere, bumping music, and exceptional customer service, Bain Barbecue has quickly become a local favorite and a must-visit destination for barbecue enthusiasts in Memphis and beyond.
