The food was wonderful here. I really enjoyed the restaurant and the service was amazing. The junk yard dog was a table favorite. The onion rings were a large portion size and very crispy. The ribs were terrific as well. I had half dry rub and half wet. Both were good. The service was friendly and helpful. All in all a great experience.

Yes! ... as a person that is an owner of a BBQ restaurant. I say YES!The meat was tender and tasty, however, I did need BBQ sauce for each meat. (I judge BBQ on not needing sauce)The Baked beans were very good, my kids loved the mac and cheese (even though it was very orange), the cole slaw was just meh ?. I ordered the ribs "wet". I would stick with that next time. The dry looked dry.Service was excellent!

Wow... That's all I can say. Damn good food that will leave you so full after. My wife and I decided to grab lunch after visiting the botanical gardens and saw this place and wow, are we glad we did. Everything was delicious but it was so much food. We each got 1/2 a rack of ribs but definitely could have split one 1/2 rack, especially since it came with 2 sides. The quesadillas were delicious as well. I'm only upset that I was too full to try the banana pudding.

I’m from Texas and LOVE Texas BBQ. But this. This place right here is phenomenal!! I have tried BBQ lots of places but One & Only blows it out of the water. One could even say it’s disgusting how much I prefer it over Texas BBQ. I was here yesterday for the first time and got the pork & brisket combo with potato salad and Mac and cheese. I’m here today before heading back to Texas to get Brisket and Potato salad to bring home with me. If you’re thinking about stopping in, DO IT! Best decision I’ve ever made.Oh, and Millie’s banana pudding was the BEST way to end an amazing lunch. Definitely gonna get me one for the road.

Started on Beale but nothing looked original so we searched this place out. Amazing food, service and pet friendly! Shawn was over the top with taking care of us! Wish bbq like this was closer to home!

A nice lady at our hotel recommended this place but we hated the food. I’ve never seen brisket like this and it hurt my soul to be honest. I’m glad I’m back in Texas this week to have some good bbq. Our waitress was awesome but you just can’t forgive food like this.

Here’s the thing, being from Memphis and coming back home to newish’ bbq spots; I’m always hesitant to try new bbq spots but these folks have a high rating and thats saying a lot in the Bluff City! So here we are, I did it! LolI popped in here ystd and I felt as if I was at family friends cook out! The music was jamming, the entire staff had smiles and were engaging with all customers whether it was their table to serve or not. I noticed who appeared to be a mgr “AC” checking on customers/ tables and overheard him telling staff how great of a job they were doing. I was drawn in by the vibes! And as I always say, Cleanliness is next to Godliness, everything was clean including restrooms!Sarah was my server and did an awesome job. She hipped me to Vegetarian baked beans! Not every southerner wants pork in their beans… LET’S GET INTO IT!The menu- There is so much that caught my eye so I went for it all!Fried Pickles- The pickle chips were seasoned well just a bit too greasy for me.The Grilled Turkey breast dinner- mind blown. I never knew Turkey breast could be so juicy off the grill! Thinly sliced with grill marks and bursting w/ juice. Two sides BUT I had three lol - Cole Slaw , fries and Vegetarian Baked Beans! So damn good! The sauce on the beans was kinda sweet with a little kick. The serving was generous so I had enough for left over.Y’all I also took more food home! LOL a Pulled Chicken Sandwich. I never knew it was possible. I don’t eat pork or beef so this is a game changer. No more hoping and wishing of a Tops or corky’s pulled bbq sandwich. ONE & ONLY Pulled chicken sammie w/their BOMB SPICY bbq sauce and coleslaw, ahhh I’m sold forever on this! No chance to get a pic of that to go order- GONE!I’ll definitely be back!

This is how BBQ is done! Everything tasted amazing. This place was busy but the service was good. Was so full had to take my cake to go.My husband had the junkyard dog and I had a pulled pork sandwich and mac n chz

Packed with flavor! I got a 1/2 rack of wet ribs (has a sweet honey glaze-like sauce,) pulled pork, Mac n cheese, and Texas toast. My wife got the drummies and jumbo wings. Everything was great, didn't even need sauce on the pork or the wings. I wish we could get this up in Michigan!

Dry ribs were excellent!Pulled pork, chicken, and sausage were great.The cole slaw was fresh and crisp. Twice baked potato salad was worth the carbs.All of the sauces were great!

Some of the best smoked chicken I have had. No sauce required, juicy and lots of flavor.

I came across this place just by chance and boy do I consider myself lucky. The service was straightforward and enjoyable. I had the junkyard dog with twice baked potato salad. This was probably the best potato salad I've ever put in my mouth. The mustard variety was also delicious. This place saved my BBQ experience in Memphis as I didn't have the best quality at Central Bbq which everyone raves about. You definitely should give this place your business!

On a cross-country road-trip and needed dinner. Hubby said 'want DQ?' I said, we are in Memphis, so NO!! We turned to Yelp and it did not let us down! We stopped here and oh my heavens! We got the fried pickles- perfect! Hubby got the ribs l; 1/2 1/2 wet dry with coleslaw and green beans. The green beans were a bit sweet, wasn't expecting it but so good!! I had the brisket sandwich with coleslaw, and it was perfection! I forgot to get photos of anything after the pickles, cause we were sidetracked by the food. Also, the bathrooms were clean, and after some of the bathrooms I've seen on this trip, this is no small statement The customer service is also so friendly. I'm super sad I didn't get the nana pudding and it will probably be my biggest regret. The cake looked amazing too but nana punk g in those little school house bowls just calls to my heart. Oh, and there sauce ‍. Mix the spicy with ranch and dip your sandwich or fries in it, you'll thank me.

Brisket was dry. Chicken sliders took all liquid from from my mouth and bbq sauce did not help at all.
