Business Summary what's this?
For four star Californian, try Jim Neely's Interstate Barbecue in Memphis. Here's a place to get good food. This very affordable establishment is one of the popular restaurants in the area. It's known for its barbecue. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This place features brunch. This restaurant is good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food so great that there is no way i would let a little thing like atmosphere get in my way.
