This is a lovely little hidden gem BBQ joint in Memphis with amazing food and great service. They are a small joint that offers take out as well as both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside of the place was very hot, and it was a bit small and cramped. However I understand the location can't do much about these, although it still does affect the experienceHowever, if you are not bothered by such things, the food is amazing. I had a wet half rack of ribs. The BBQ sauce was excellent and the meat was cooked great, tender and easy to eat off the bone. The ribs also came with sides, I had fries which were cooked and seasoned nicely, as well as deviled eggs, which were sweeter than I envisioned although I'm sure people who like sweet deviled eggs would love them. They also provide toast which is buttery and soft goodness. To finish off they have a variety of cakes as desert and I had a vanilla cake, it was a double layer very large cake, recommend sharing with a loved one or a friend, but it was very sweet and tasty too, a good way to end the night in Memphis.Overall One & Only BBQ is a great hidden gem joint with amazing service, amazing food. Even if the cramped and hot space sounds like a deal breaker, you can always sit outside or order take out too!

Our server made us feel like we were right at home. She was caring and tentative and made casual conversation. We loved the BBQ! If you want a true taste of Tennessee visit One & Only BBQ!
OMG! The smoked chicken wings and the dry rub ribs are flavorful and perfectly smokey. If you love Memphis style ribs, or if you’re not sure that you’ve ever tried them, this place is where you should go. And hands down I’ve only ever had smoked chicken wings once that rivaled this place for hot and delicious.I was with a group of 4 guys. We ordered a family pack with 2 racks of ribs, chicken wings, pulled pork, 1qt beans, 1 pint slaw, toast/buns, and we added some deviled eggs. And I’d eat any of that again!

Just stopped in to eat on our road trip across the U.S. I have to say this is the best bbq I have ever had. We tried the crispy onions, deviled eggs, drummies, chicken nachos, ribs, potatoe salad and the mac & cheese. Not one of these items was disappointing. The lady who waited on us was a total sweetheart. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely eat here again.

We wanted beef ribs and are so sorry we went here. While the service was really good, the ribs were tough and tasted like they were cooked days earlier. I didn't finish mine at all. The wings were also undercooked and not even warm. However, the sides were really good but after spending nearly $100, even good sides can't save a really bad and expensive entree.

Courteous, considerate staff, even when overwhelmed with orders(!). Great place to grab a bite (or a meal for the whole family) on the way home, or for lunch, or wherever!
Really excellent ribs. I recommend getting them dry and adding your own sauce. Loved it.

Pork shoulder, smoked Chicken, and probably the best greens ever. If you see Ms. Hunt go ahead and talk to her. She is worth the time. Great experience!

The staff were friendly and attentive and our food was incredible (I got the pulled pork and chicken combo). I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some good BBQ.
Outstanding customer service and the food was absolutely fantastic! Our waitress, Amber, was very friendly and helpful as it was our first visit! We'll definitely be back!
I have never been disappointed after years of ordering and hope they remain consistent with good quality/tasty food. The Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork sandwiches are my favorites.
