BBQ lovers around the country are hardcore defenders of their favorite style of the delicious meats, and this month, we are going to review the big ones (including the one Lizzie says is best – Memphis style!).

Come down to Lizzie’s Memphis Style BBQ to taste the best BBQ in Orlando and for a sweet introduction to these lovely dishes.

Explore a world of deliciousness with the major styles of BBQ to help you finish the summer season with a feast of tasty meats.

1. Memphis (The Best!)

Be bold with the spicy BBQ style of Memphis, Tennessee and treat family and friends with fall-off-the-bone ribs and flame-kissed burgers for the next cookout. Choose between black pepper, salt, brown sugar, and other rockin’ spices, or combine them for a heavenly dining experience. The slow cooked meats, either wet or dry, get extra flavor from the rub and special sauce that will make you leave the dinner table with a smiling face covered in BBQ sauce.

2. Carolina

Pulled pork sandwiches and ribs get an upgrade in delicacies with the Carolina style in BBQ cooking. This option offers multiple styles within this style, with the western, or Lexington, method focusing on the pork shoulder lathered in ketchup while the Eastern method involves the whole hog mixed with coleslaw and cornmeal batter. Season the meal with a dry rub, cook in a wood-fired barbecue pit for eight to 12 hours, and then add flavor with vinegar and cayenne pepper for a complete BBQ paradise.

3. Kansas City

Y’all can never go wrong with multiple meats and a variety of flavors, which is why we suggest keeping your BBQ party tasty with the Kansas City style. The KC-style sauce keeps slow-smoked and dry-rubbed burgers, pork, and ribs with burnt ends delicious with its sweetness and tanginess thanks to the combination of brown sugar, ketchup, and molasses. Side dishes such as mashed sweet potatoes, coleslaw, baked beans, and French fries keep everyone satisfied at dinner.

4. Texas

Keep BBQ parties rockin’ with the Texas style of cooking, with four options to choose from to offer a delicious plate for each guest. The Central Texas style seasons meats with salt and pepper on Hickory and post oak, and the South style uses layers of thick sauces to treat eaters with moist meat. The East Texas style cooks meat slow and low for tasty burgers and ribs, and the West style cooks meat over direct heat on mesquite wood for flavoring you won’t soon forget.


Treat yourself with a delicious BBQ with multiple styles to choose from to become a host for your parties. The flavoring of the Memphis style offers ribs leaves no taste bud unsatisfied, and the Carolina style cooks ribs just right. The Kansa City style combines sauces and sides to boost BBQ dishes, and the Texas style provides four options to leave no mouths watering no matter what meats are preferred.
