I dunno about top bbq. You might want to expand your horizons and ask Ole Miss fans. But be prepared to be sent to a gay strip joint.

Beale Street is most likely where the missus and I will spend most of our time, because she's a total sap for live music and there's plenty of it there.

The Memphis Zoo is worth the trip if you have the time.

The Flying Saucer downtown has every beer known to humanity. I had the worst beer ever made and loved it for its awfulness: Hecht Schlenferla Rauchbier. Smoked bacon flavor and beer sound like a good combo? Damn right it isn't. But now I've done it, and don't have to do it again.
