This restaurant has a Graceland feel, but it won't necessarily make you sit down and say grace. What was sighted, however, was a Memphis barbecue influence, from Mud Island Catfish to Beale Street Fried Shrimp. And the bar pours such libations as Jack Daniel's Tennessee Tea, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Mud and Jack Daniel's Down Home Punch. Nonetheless, it's a family place. Open about three months, the new B.F. Goodribs on Dale Mabry Highway relocated from St. Petersburg's Tyrone Boulevard.
Groups can sit at wooden booths covered with plastic tablecloths, or on the small patio.
The site has housed such restaurants as Po' Folks, Lobster Louie's Seafood Shack and a kosher-style deli, among others. Since meat is its specialty, we started dinner with both poultry and peppers. We preferred the hot ones to Jack Daniel's. The hot wings had a nice heat wave, but dialing 911 isn't necessary. Jalapeno poppers are tasty.
