I know that sometimes Neeley's gets some somewhat caustic references here, mostly due to the TV show, but damn! can they do BBQ (especially pork).
I went there yesterday for a pulled pork sandwich and thought I'd take my camera along. I finally found my battery charger and don't have to do those poor quality cell phone shots anymore (this should make my future Q-view shots much better).
The mess in the above picture was all on me. I was trying to move some of the slaw aside so I could show the pulled pork. I finally decided to pull a piece out and take the pic below:
Here's the sandwich in its full dressed glory, topped with Neely's really nice "hot" BBQ sauce:
The pork was very tender and nicely smoked. There was no smoke ring on this particular batch, but my previous sandwich from several weeks ago had a really nice ring.
The sandwich costs $5.49 and is certainly worth it. If you're ever in Memphis or Nashville, be sure to check it out. I think you'll decide that this is good stuff.
As a side note, pulled pork sandwiches is a pretty new phenomenon in Memphis-style BBQ, at least from my experience. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, every BBQ sandwich I ever ate was chopped. You can also get a chopped sandwich at Neely's if you're nostagically inclined, but I don't see the need.
