The Original Germantown Commissary

Back in the old days, commissaries were a staple of Southern life. Everything from blue jeans to bologna was purchased from your local commissary. The original Germantown Commissary housed a small country store for more than 90 years, until its rebirth as a BBQ restaurant.

Germantown Commissary BBQ

In 1981, owner Walker Taylor purchased the original Germantown Commissary and transformed the historic building into what is today known as some of the finest BBQ in Memphis. Over the years, we’ve become a staple of Memphis cuisine. We’ve even served numerous celebrities, including Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Jimmy Buffett, Robert Duvall, Kathy Bates, Senator Bill Frist, The Eagles, Aerosmith, and Jack Nicklaus, among others.
