What People are Saying
“Tasty pork BBQ!”
“Tasty pork BBQ! The best crunchiest onion rings, perfectly fried, not oily. Same with the fries. And the seating area is really clean and well kept. Love the old advertising art on the walls. Good deals with daily specials too.”
Gina Lowers
“Catfish is AWESOME”
“I can go any day of the week and the staff is great. On Fridays it is catfish night and it is AWESOME. The restaurant staff is friendly and courteous. I will be back again and again and again.”
Courtney Shore

Our Story
Captain John’s Story
One of the treasures of historic Collierville, Captain John’s Barbecue was established in 1974 and is proud to continue serving up the best old style, pit-smoked barbecue – steeped in tradition with love for the community.
Originally opened as Coleman’s BBQ in 1973, the name may have changed, but the way of doing things has stayed the same. When the restaurant was purchased by Ron and Linda Johnson over 25 years ago, they continued the old style pit-smoking their customers loved. Now operated by their son Shane, a trip to Captain John’s is a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Collierville today.
With most of the staff having worked at Captain John’s for 6-30 years, it’s a guarantee you’ll be greeted with a friendly face and the best barbecue in town.
