General Manager-Restaurants

Corky’s BBQ is Memphis BBQ. We helped put the city on the map as a culinary capital and BBQ haven. Locals don’t lie, and we’ve been voted the #1 BBQ joint in Memphis 22 times since Don Pelts fired up Corky’s first hickory and charcoal BBQ pit (nearly 35 years ago) with one goal in mind: serve the absolute best BBQ possible.

Our vision is the foundation of everything we do: Deliver Memphis hospitality to our guests…every time and every where. Our mission: to make Corky’s name synonymous with consistently delicious, authentic Memphis BBQ by creating a FUN, CLEAN, FAMILY atmosphere and by putting our employees first which, in turn, creates happy customers. We are currently looking for a General Manager to join our family.
