    Jumbo Chicken Leg Quarter Dinner
    Dianna S.

    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.

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

    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 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

    Like their whole smoked chicken wings! Other offerings are tasty as well. Don't sell adult beverages but you can bring your own.

    I recently stopped by Las Tortugas with 3 other coworkers on a Thursday afternoon, and it ended up…read morebeing one of those meals that you keep talking about long after you leave. The restaurant was not overly busy, which made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable from the moment we walked in. The first thing that stood out was the service. Everyone there was welcoming, patient, and genuinely friendly. Since it was our first time trying a few things on the menu, we had several questions, and the staff took the time to explain everything without making us feel rushed. They gave recommendations, explained the toppings and flavors, and helped make ordering easy. I decided to try the specialty hot dogs, and honestly, they were amazing. They were packed with flavor and loaded with fresh toppings that worked perfectly together. The combination of creamy avocado, fresh vegetables, sauces, and perfectly cooked meat created a unique flavor that was both fresh and filling. Every bite had something different going on, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. The presentation alone looked incredible, but the taste backed it up completely. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy good food with family or friends. Nothing felt rushed, and the overall vibe made the experience even better. If you are looking for something different from the usual restaurant options and want flavorful food with friendly service, Las Tortugas is definitely worth visiting. We will absolutely be coming back again.

    3.5, I think? This was a tough one for me to rate…read more My aunt lives near Las Tortugas and I've been reading about and thinking about visiting for years whenever I'm in the Memphis area. The stars aligned on this most recent visit and so I got to try them. This location in Germantown is a little easy to miss signage-wise, but Google Maps got me here easily. The parking lot is small but paved nicely and easy to navigate. The inside of the restaurant does feel like a deli, with a counter to order at and a small but reasonable amount of seating. The restaurant's accolades are plastered on walls and the glass windows around the food prep area and it's fun to read the history and writing about this place. There is one semi-essay seemingly from the owner, directed at patrons, grousing about customers having certain expectations about the food they're served (Tex-Mex versus authentic Mexican, for example). The owner is adamant that authentic Mexican is served here, and I have no reason to doubt that at all nor expect anything different, but I must admit the tone was rather off-putting. I can see how it would be frustrating to have your food, your work, be misunderstood or misinterpreted, but it kind of felt like I was being lectured when I hadn't done anything, lol. At any rate, I walked up to the counter to order. Service was adequately if not /especially/ friendly. I placed an order for a sandwich (Tortugas de pollo) as well as a limonada (fresh-squeezed limeade) to go. I waited at one of the tables and my order was ready for me in a reasonable amount of time. My favorite thing was the limonada! It had closer to an Icee texture than a juice or limeade texture but I really liked it. Pleasantly sweet and sour and very refreshing. The sandwich was good if not mind-blowing. Maybe my expectations were just a little too high. One problem was that it got pretty soggy very, very fast - it took me less than 10 minutes to get back to my aunt's house and unbox my food and in that time, the bottom piece of bread on my sandwich was close to falling apart. Some of the chicken was also a little too strong-tasting for me; it's hard to describe but I imagine we've all had chicken that's a little too obviously...well, chicken, lol. Not super mild tasting meat, I guess is what I'm trying to say. That aside, I enjoyed the texture of the cheese and the heat of the peppers. The top slice of bread was also nice and crusty. The sandwich came served with a handful of chips less generous than it appears in the photo and some green salsa. The chips were a little over-fried for me but decent enough, and the subtly spicy salsa went well with them. I think the greatest sticking point for me is the price vs. the quantity of food vs. the relative enjoyment. My meal was a solid bit over $30. I prooooobably could've split the sandwich with someone else and been okay, but given the relatively paltry amount of chips, I was also okay eating it as a solo diner. I think if the price had been a little lower, or the portion of chips a little bigger, or the enjoyment of the sandwich a little greater - any one of those things - this would probably round up to a 4. But ultimately the sticker shock and somewhat condescending vibes lead to a lower rating from me. Idk, I would definitely say this restaurant is worth a try and I'm glad I experienced it and would recommend trying it to others who enjoy this type of Mexican food. That said, I'm also not completely confident I'd return on another visit to Memphis. Well, okay, I would definitely for the limonada. That thing was awesome. ;)
