"Listen, I've been eating at this place since my mom worked there yearsssss ago. Never had a bad experience with no parts of me being there. I went today for my bday solo and got my meal for free. The owner didn't have to do that but, she did and I was thankful. My only problem there is a personal problem and that's me being cold. So I don't sit there no longer then I have to. Lol. Unless my kids are with me bcuz we're always laughing and talking while there."

"Coleman's BBQ gives off major 80s vibes, and the smell inside is like a throwback to the good old days when we had one near my childhood home. The BBQ is solid, and it's clear the place is a hit because every table was taken when we visited. It's a tasty trip down memory lane - Coleman's is definitely a spot to check out."

"Felt like a true southern BBQ spot with good food and great people! Tried the fried bologna sandwich dressed up like a burger with L.T.&O. Definitely recommend giving it a chance! The BBQ sandwiches are delicious as well."

"Stoped in on our way back to Memphis. I'm from Texas and know Bar-B-Q. It was very good. It's also different so I think it makes it stand out. Lots of bar b q taste similar but Coleman's has a unique flavor. The sauce is more vinegar based I think. It was good. I had the regular sandwich with beans and pats to salad. The beans were very good and the potato salad was tasty as well. They were busy and services was still quick. Stop by if your in the area."

"Had a delicious pulled pork sandwich and slaw and potato salad. Kim and her crew are amazingly friendly. Even posed for pictures! I used to come to this place for BBQ with my grandparents 50 yrs ago. I'd come here every day if I could, but I live in Denver. Thanks to Kim for keeping the fantastic Coleman's BBQ going !! PS- they also have a great breakfast"
