Memphis Food
BBQ:
Neely's Interstate
Corky's
Commissary (Germantown)
Chicken .. Not that crazy about Gus's and rest are mediocre
Catfish:
Wolf Creek Inn (Rossville...East of Collierville) is hard to beat for fresh catfish and cold beer...usually standing room only.
For home-style Southern food, including lots of vegetables try Dales in South Haven on State Line Road

Try it...you won't be disappointed.

Best lunchtime catfish--Catfish Cabin, Airways & Democrat next to airport. And a free meal on your birthday (verified by driver's license)--music to a pilot's ears! 
And concur with BBQ Shop on Madison (Dancing Pigs Sauce). Killer ribs and BBQ spaghetti; gotta try the Fried Bologna appetizer platter once in your life. Didn't care for Rendezvous AT ALL--they seem to trade on their reputation from years past and great location.
But as someone famous said, there is no such thing as bad BBQ; just some is a lot better than others!

My BBQ order of battle:
Neely's Interstate
Germantown Commissary
Central BBQ
Rendezvous
Corky's
I second that list, but in order of preference I would put central at the top. If you are mobile locally with time to spare, the wolf creek out in Moscow for catfish is a must and a little further is Wolf River BBQ Worth the drive, just don't speed! There is more and I keep an exhaustive list!

"Wolf Creek Inn", maybe meant "Wolf River Cafe" in Moscow, TN? I'll vouch for the catfish!

Neely's Interstate BBQ just west of Airways on Stateline Rd. - great for lunch when working/long-term training in Gucci Bldg. (when you get tired of the cafeteria)
Also, I think there's a Top's BBQ (chain but still really good) on Stateline as well (couple more blocks west of Airways?) - when you want another awesome BBQ option close to Gucci Bldg and tired of Interstate.
