And for good reason, too; a long history and a knock-your-socks-off special BBQ sauce has cemented Arthur Bryant's as the go-to for crowds of people. Various presidents, from Harry S. Truman onwards, have eaten here, and Playboy magazine even dubbed it 'possibly the single best restaurant in the world.'
