    I had a great experience here. I have passed this location many times and never visited. I had the Jumbo Chicken Leg Quarter. It was a nice portion and it was tender and juicy. I had an order of greens and backed beans for my sides. The greens were season really good. The beans were amazing as well. It also comes with a buttery toast. I love the barbecue sauce options. All were great, but I really liked the spicy sauce. I also tried the barbecue bologna sandwhich and it was tatsty as well. We dined in and the space is super spacious and clean. The service was great as well. They were kind and very attentive. I must say they handled our party size with ease. For dessert, I had cheesecake with fresh strawberries added. It was delicious. I want to go back and and try more of their dessert options. Oh and FYI, they have a drive-thru if you are on the go!

    Had dinner tonight at One and Only. Always consistent. Had a fun time. Meg was such a nice server and was attentive. I ordered the Leg Quarter Dinner with deviled eggs and green beans. My food was seasoned well and quite tasty. The green beans were a tad salty for me. The turnip greens were way too salty but we found out it was the bottom of the pot. The manager gave my friend another fresher order to go. That was really nice! Our dinner was all in all very good. I enjoy coming to One and Only because the food, service and ambience is always consistent. I am sure we will be back soon.

    Sometimes you just need a pulled pork sandwich. I stop by here every now and then for a sandwich because it's pretty good and the people are really friendly. I've been here when it's been super busy and they manage to keep the diners, the drive through and pick up orders running smoothly. There is plenty of comfortable seating to dine in if you so choose. My brother loves the cheesecake and my daughter loves the BBQ Sauce. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a new spot to try.

    Traveling and was recommended to try this place. It was a sit down environment and our waitress Destiny was incredible and so kind! The food was amazing and I enjoyed everything I ordered. The sauce options are so flavorful! The ribs are tender and fall off the bone. Can't say enough good things, the food is so good!!

    I've picked up from One & Only a few times but finally made a point to eat at the restaurant. The interior is huge. The service is rather quick. They have a good selection of local beer. I tried their ribs, potato salad, and collard greens. The dry rub was great, it tasted mostly like paprika (maybe cayenne?) to me. The meat was tender and I could definitely go for it again. The collard greens are some of the best I've had outside of my mom's. The potato salad was hyped up but I didn't love it. Also, not pictured, I tried the smoked chicken and my girlfriend got the smoke turkey sandwich. The chicken was certainly the better poultry. It went great with their 3 sauces- the spicier one was my favorite. I've picked up their brisket before and would not recommend it. The prices are rather reasonable, and I'm certain I'll be back.

    They have BEEF RIBS! They're huge and delicious ! My husband hasn't ate pork in 25 years so we were pleasantly surprised to see beef ribs on the menu!

    Love it! Blowin' through town and had to stop for some Memphis bbq while we had the chance. Picked this spot at random, had good reviews, and did not disappoint. Nice atmosphere and service. And I really digged the tub sink outside the restrooms to wash up after without needing to enter them. The food was fantastic, just look at the photos. Might have to stop back by on the return trip!

    Delicious BBQ! Smoked Chicken was super flavorful and well smoked. I did try a fried wing and it was very good as well. When in Memphis I feel like ribs should be on the menu and these did not disappoint. They've also got a good selection of sides which alot of bbq places lack.

    Our server was very nice. We got a table right away, we arrived right at noon on a Saturday. They have a drive through and a pick up counter too. I got the ribs, mac n cheese and sweet potatoes, it was delicious. Fried pickles were great. Food came out pretty fast.

    The people were nice the ribs were so good and I ate them before I could take pic my bad

    The pulled pork was overcooked and dry. The fries were similar to Kroger's frozen fries, bland and dry too. The BBQ sauce was okay, nothing spectacular. The prices were not too high though. The waitstaff was friendly and responded to refills in a reasonable time. The TVs were on Fantasy Football and a megachurch preacher. For me, I don't care to return.

    Clean, very friendly staff. I ordered the pulled pork with beans and fries. I sent the fries back because they were cold but quickly got hot fresh fries. That's the only issue I had with the food. Service was great. I'm glad I stopped by here

    The food was excellent but I've only gone once. They got rid of the veggie burger so when I went back I had to leave unfed.

It also had a truffle aioli that was subtle but definitely delicious. The fries are season and crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside. We got the wingman platter. For the love of God this was incredible. The wings were juicy as well as nicely crispy. The flavors, now here's where they hit. There was a honey mustard, wingman, lemon pepper and a type of jerk curry. Well let's say this, I NEVER dipped. Not once. The seasoning on every one of these was magnificent. The curry was my favorite. It had a unique flavor with a kick. Best wings Ever!!! The place earns its name. We also had the rolls which were spicy and flavorful. Wouldn't pass on those either. This place deserves more than 5 stars. If you're looking for fried chicken or wings DON'T MISS this place. I am ruined now, because I will forever want this food every time I want fried chicken. Damn that chicken sandwich...damn you!!! lol

When it came to which flavors to pick, I knew I had to try their award-winning flavor, Memphis Buffalo. I'm not a big wing person, so it was just ok to me. It was good, but didn't wow me. Also, I always get boneless, so I'm not sure if the flavor is different on regular wings- so take my review with a large grain of salt if you're a big wing person. The fries were really good but the flavored versions weren't that impressive so I'd rather just stick to the regular fries. The Pineapple Habanero was really good though. I really liked the flavor and the kick. It's one of the spicier things on the menu so I feel like I could handle the spiciest. I'd come back and try more flavors!

I like the face that they travel around Memphis so everyone can try the food. I ordered a couple of Buffalo Chicken Tacos, an avocado taco, and 18 wings with the flavors of honey gold, bourbon, and memphis buffalo. The tacos were great. I want to order some more. The wings are smoked with the sauce added later. The wings taste good but they are pretty expensive for what they are. People should try the wings but I prefer deep fried wings that hold the sauce better.

Unfortunately, we were met with one of the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender--a Caucasian woman with a short haircut whose name I unfortunately didn't get--greeted us with an attitude that immediately made us feel unwelcome. Instead of providing friendly service, she was dismissive, impatient, and rushed us through placing our to-go order. She informed us that we could not eat at the bar, which was completely fine. We agreed without any issue and ordered our food to go. However, when my food arrived, I simply opened the container to make sure my order was correct before leaving. She immediately rushed back over and aggressively said, "Didn't I tell you that you could not eat at the bar?" I hadn't taken a single bite--I was only checking my order. Rather than politely clarifying the policy, she continued to scold us and make us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. We still hadn't even received my friend's food, yet she seemed more interested in lecturing us than providing basic customer service. Once my friend's food finally arrived, we left as quickly as possible. As visitors in town celebrating Pride, we expected a welcoming atmosphere and basic courtesy. Instead, we experienced hostility, impatience, and a complete lack of professionalism. There's a huge difference between enforcing a policy and treating customers with disrespect, and this bartender clearly doesn't understand that distinction. The food may have been fine, but the service was so unpleasant that I would never return or recommend Bar Dogs to anyone looking for a friendly place to eat or have a drink. Customer service training is desperately needed.
