Springtime brings renewal and new birth for flowers and this year it will do the same for a popular Whitehaven restaurant. Big Bill’s Bar-Be-Que is going into its chrysalis phase, upgrading and improving, with plans to emerge from its cocoon this April, reports Daily Memphian.
William “Curtis” Givens’ 4101 Elvis Presley Boulevard restaurant received an Inner City Economic Development loan from the Economic Development Growth Engine for Memphis and Shelby County to assist with the renovations. Big Bill’s Bar-Be-Que will be upgrading it outside lighting, interior, and signs.
Givens explains his motivation for the improvements, saying: “Whitehaven holds a special place in my heart. I want to do improvements to improve foot traffic.”
Memphis diners who can’t wait until the spring to enjoy Big Bill’s fare can stop into the East Memphis location at 2857 Kirby Road, Suite 119.
The barbecue joint served up its first meal 15 years ago. Big Bill’s cooked its way into the hearts and stomachs of local foodies through its commitment to delicious and authentic Southern cuisine: “Every dish is crafted with care, honoring time-tested Southern techniques. The focus is on real, bold flavors and hearty portions that bring people together, making every meal a comforting experience.”
