Best Memphis BBQ on or near Beale St.?

That is in the hood. Thats a part of memphis where, if you get pulled over and dont have a gun they issue you one. I have eaten some stellar BBQ in some of the sketchiest parts of town. But I went with someone from that area. Theres a gas station on my route home. Fella has a tent set up in the lot. Cooks on a near rusted out COS. But, his ribs rival anything from one the best restaurants in town.

We were thinking of going to the St. Jude complex while down there. Checking Google maps, it looks like it's right next to Cozy Corner.
Would you seriously advise against it if it was maybe late morning/lunch time?
Safety is a priority for me, so I value someone's opinion who is in the know.
Thanks again.
