Absolutely delicious food, large servings, and friendly employees! Just like going home to mama's! Thanks Rhonda D!

This is my family's go to for BBQ. It's always consistent, fresh and delicious. Their brisket and baked beans are top notch, smoky and never dry. I'd you're looking for easy, no frills bbq, this is the place to go. They have some great dining locations around the city and do delivery well through Uber Eats. read more

Great place for dining in. My favorite item is the bbq sliders and hubby likes the smoked wings.

Love, love,love the BBQ chicken! Fun, casual atmosphere. Orders to go are always right. Fast becoming my favorite BBQ place.

We contacted the manager regarding a large group that needed a place to eat. Our server, the management and the cook provided exceptional service and I would highly recommend this place. read more

One and Only BBQ is one of my favorite spots in memphis to get BBQ. it's slightly pricey, but definitely worth it. the amount of meat they put on one sandwich could be made into two. i'm weird about french fries too, and theirs are pretty good. and their baked beans are amazing. the service is usually pretty good. i've had great service and then some mediocre service. never had a bad experience though. my favorite location is the one off kirby by poplar. read more

Hands down my favorite BBQ place I've been to so far in Memphis. The turkey is delicious and the ribs are fall off the bone delicious. I hadn't seen deviled eggs as a side until this place so I had to try them and im glad I did! I also for the Mac and cheese which was great. I highly recommend the habanero sauce, it's a good mixture of flavor and heat, but not so hot it's unenjoyable. To top it all off the staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

One & Only BBQ - Ribs and roast turkey with Mac and cheese and deviled eggs - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

One & Only has the best ribs of them all. There's no close second on ribs. Their BBQ meat is just as good as the rest. If you love ribs, One & Only is by far your best choice. You won't be disappointed. read more

Best BBQ ever! Awesome service and just overall good time The area looked clean and approachable read more

The bbq is fantastic. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is casual, rustic, and fun.

My family and I went into One & Only BBQ Kirby tonight. We usually visit the Southaven location, but I must say that the home feel and friendliness of this staff was amazing from start to finish. I came in thinking the Pork and Brisket combo was the best combo, but then I met Amber and Jason..... WOW!!!! They really know how to make someone feel like family. This is a must stop and you have to visit when in Memphis area!!! read more

Food was so good that I ordered potato salad. If you know me, I don't even like sides beyond balancing bites. I ate the potato salad and baked beans first they were that good. The half slab of ribs were meaty and cooked well. Service was immaculate with the young lady who waited on me being attentive enough to earn a tip but not so attentive that she felt pushy or obnoxious, so that's another positive. The environment was cool overall for a Saturday: no long wait, few chatty customers, and the games on TV. Overall a great experience that I will be repeating when my two bottles of sauce run out. read more

our company orders Christmas lunch but about 6 meal were even eatable. please do better when preparing people food esp big corporations.

Service was great but unfortunately I'm giving it a 2 star because the meat was cold and bland. Not sure how old it was. The Mac and cheese and beans were good though. read more

One and Only BBQ serves up some of the best Memphis style dry rub BBQ ribs I have ever tasted! The BBQ ribs were tender, moist, fall-off-the-bone, and mighty finger-licking-effin good! They were so good that we didn't have any leftovers. End of rant over yummy BBQ ribs. This BBQ joint has a cozy family interior feel to it. We arrived early in the evening after a long drive and were happily greeted by the staff. The rib-brisket combo with sweet potato fries and twice baked potato salad was plenty of food for two people. While the dry rub ribs were amazing, I did not care too much for the thinly sliced and lean brisket, which reminded me of roast beef slices. I'm used to having some crust on my brisket, which adds to the overall flavor of beef brisket. Their brisket lacked a true smoky flavor like Texas brisket does. The sweet potato fries were on point but the twice baked potato salad lacked seasoning/spices and was too rich and creamy for my taste. Our drinks were always full and the staff was attentive as we dined. The dry rub BBQ ribs were the shining stars of the night. I'll have to remember to try the BBQ nachos, deviled eggs, and banana pudding on my next visit as highlighted by other Yelpers. I look forward to trying other BBQ joints around town for comparison. read more

UPDATE: I did get a call from the GM of this location. He was very nice, profesional and apologetic. That goes a long way for businesses these days who point blank don't care. We will give them another try one of these days. Thanks Jason. Not a toddler friendly establishment. Came in for lunch with my 16 month old after dropping something off at UPS next door. No high chair available or offered so he stood in the chair next to me. While waiting on our drinks to come, he was taking the ketchup bottle and sauce bottle in and out of the basket. Not spilling, not making a mess, genuinely just taking them out, lining them up, and putting them back in the basket. This was over the course of 2 total minutes while I scanned the menu to order him some food. Our server came over and took the bottles from him and took the basket away from him with a "I'm taking these so he doesn't make a mess." I then told her we would need to leave because without a high chair and he can't even entertain himself (not making a mess) then it wouldn't work out. I offered to pay for our drinks she brought and I got a cold "don't worry about it." And she walked off. It was just a very rude interaction and really frustrating for a mom especially when my child was causing no harm. read more

Lately, the last year, we've had to quit ordering ribs to go. It's always overdone and dried out, they evidently send the bad ribs out so customers can't tell the waitress to take them back. read more

Great BBQ, and great potato salad--highly recommend to anyone local or visiting from out of town.

We dined in One and Only BBQ (tiny seats...limited seating). Just watching, most customers were there for takeout. Waited standing about 10 mins for a table at 7:30 pm on a Thursday. Tasty. Friendly service. Great value. Water pleasantly served in large Styrofoam cups. BBQ sauces on the table. The Hot Sauce is not so hot by my tastes. Enjoyed and can recommend Pulled-pork Diner Platter with two sides and buttered Texas Toast. BBQ Beans excellent; Cole Slaw less so. Also tasty was the side of Mustard Potato Salad. Also tried the Starter of Fried Battered Pickles with dill yogurt sauce on side--interesting. Easily enough for 4 people. Only (small) Gripe: No Beer/wine license and BYOB is openly welcome. As a small dine-in place, I kinda understand that a beer/wine license isn't worth it. But the food screams for a good beer. read more

This place is amazing! The sauces are awesome, the meats are divine and the service is EXCELLENT! We hit the Cordova location in the far East section of the Memphis metro... Our server was great. The older woman at the door was cool as well. But y'all, when I got my plate?! (Admittedly I ordered too much) The ribs were killer, the Mac and Cheese was solid; not great, but solid. But that brisket?! I've never had a thin sliced brisket that way. Amazing. I'll DEFINITELY BE BACK. GREAT JOB! read more

One & Only BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This was exactly what we were looking for when we went on the hunt for great BBQ! We started with the bbq baloney. Normally you won't find me within a mile of baloney but this totally changed my mind! This was thick cut, smoked, wonderfully balanced meat! We each got the pulled pork with different sides. They didn't disappoint! Both the mild and spicy sauce wasn't needed but was very complementary to the meat. We liked the baked beans, deviled eggs, green beans, Mac n cheese, and sweet potato fries. We ended up taking the lick the spoon banana pudding back to the hotel with us. The service was fast, accurate and with a smile. This will be one that we return to when we are in Memphis! read more

The staff was incredibly patient and friendly they had some amazing barbecue sauces insides an amazing brisket and smoked turkey as well.

Bro just go there and you can thank me later. Great brisket, sides and did I mention the brisket?

Locations vary but I will say this. It's my one and only bbq place now and it saddens me to say I won't be trying it for a while since I'm flying home. People talk a big game saying Nashville has hot chicken and Memphis has bbq. They're aren't lying. Getting to Memphis I was looking for just that, bbq. Hopped on my phone and even asked several locals but I ended up going with my gut particularly because I was starving but I was far from disappointed. It was so good I went back the next night to another location but that's why I gave it four stars. The second location wasn't what one me over. It was the first spot which was right outside Memphis. As for the atmosphere it was a small place but with big flavor. read more

The hamburger is absolutely awesome...especially loaded with onion straws! I'm a fan of the Baby-back Ribs (wet & dry) with slaw and beans. Everyone is ALWAYS friendly whenever I call my orders in (100% of the time) for pickup. I might add...this is my favorite location!! read more

My go to place when I'm craving great dry ribs to go. The double baked potatoes are decadent and don't forget banana pudding!

Outstanding BBQ. Beyond compare!!! Their baked beans OMG!!! Just a hole in the wall... Great staff working their. LOVED IT!!

1&O definitely will not disappoint you. I've had slot of bbq since i first moved here and i usually bade the quality of bbq I'm ever shops take on the classic pulled pork sandwich. One and Only, is definitely in the top 3 right next to my other favs (Central and Blue City). One thing i didn't try is their ribs, will need to go back and get a try at their ribs. read more

We found out about this place during a trip to Memphis from Virginia. We asked a random Memphis police officer that we saw on the street what is the best bbq in the city and he recommended One and Only. Actually, his words were "you can't go wrong" with this place. He wasn't lying! This is by far the best bbq place ever! You can almost taste the wood when you eat the ribs. Every meat was delicious and the sides were as well. We also had some of their deserts as well. It is so good that we are thinking about doing another 12 hour trip to Memphis just to eat there again. I recommend this place 100% read more

We found the food way overpriced and there was a lot left to be desired when it comes to flavor.

One of the best BBQ I have ever had but beyond that, the service was HANDS DOWN FANTASTIC!! We were traveling from Illinois to New Orleans and stopped due to the great reviews. Amber and the crew did not disappoint. Southern hospitality lives here. read more

I went here years ago and it was the best bbq even to this day that I ever had. Owners were nice and accommodating!!

I know it's a BBQ restaurant, but I need to give them credit for their salad; they are super good. I had the Strawberry Field Forever Salad everybody should definitely try it. Also, you have the option of adding meat into your salad; I added pulled pork and I love myself for it. I love that is close to my school. I can't wait to try new things there. read more

Ordered take out due to Covid. The 1/4 chicken came from a 10 pound chicken and cooked well, smoked, but no spice except what we added from a side order of mild. By the way, the spicy had too much cayenne or chili powder for me. The small rib order had about 4 bones, ordered wet, and had Smokey flavor, but a bit tough to the bite. The beans and potato salad was good. Waited a long time to get the food after ordering, as if they had to catch the chicken and cook it, or get it out of the fridge. Let's just say I have had better read more

Great ribs and slaw and the twice baked potato salad was FANTASTIC! Not a fancy restaurant but who cares when the food is this good!

BBQ s pretty good. The restaurant I was in was a bit busy so service is hard to judge. It had the ambience of a BBQ joint.

Very good food. I live the devil eggs. I've always enjoyed each experience. I even pick up devil eggs for parties sometimes

Wow! Fried bologna sandwich! Thick sliced and so tasty!! Service was fast and friendly.

Drummies were phenomenal Tender and very well-seasoned. I highly recommend their banana pudding - ask for extra cookies! The service couldn't have been better. read more
