What a find.  My buddy and I literally stumbled upon this place after checking out Freemont Street.  The Container Park caught our attention and we noticed Big Ern's when we checked out what was inside the Container Park.  \n\nI'm here to tell you this is some very good barbecue.  The pulled pork and beef brisket I had were both excellent, and the portions were generous for the price.  \n\nFor sides, I got the barbecue beans the cole slaw, which were both excellent.  \n\nWe were eating late (10:00 p.m.) on a Sunday night, which made eating out the tables very pleasant.  It even rained briefly, which cooled things down a bit even more.  I love a light rain in the desert in the summer.  \n\nI found the prices to be very reasonable given he quality of the food and portion sizes. \n\nMy only gripe is they locked the doors at 10:45 (15 minutes before closing), which meant I could not get a second beer, and my buddy could not get some more barbecue sauce.  We saw a small group of would be customers get turned away, also. If you say you close at 11:00, stay open till 11:00.  \n\nBottom line.  I've had good barbecue in Memphis.  This place is legit.  If you were to add collard greens and white bread and perhaps some fried pickles to the mix. . . .
