Whoa! Truly SMOKED meat, not 1/2 smoked, then fried...just smoked. This place came highly recommended by our local family. Started with their take on a charcuterie board- Sausage, peperjack and chedder cheeses, with pepperchinis for the table. It was a smack of smoke and meat that made me scream YES on the inside. It was also enough to share with 5 other people. For my main I ordered the dry bologna sandwich which basically meas a seasoned bologna with turnip greens and coleslaw. Delicious!! The sandwich was a nostalgic treat of which I added mustard and by the waitresses suggestion... the coleslaw. Not everyone offers this item and it did not disappoint on that soft bun and slightly caramelized edges. The greens were good ole country goodness. Traditional taste, seasoned well with meat. Also tried a rib and smoked chicken wing. The rib was good, but I've had better. It didn't fall off the bone like I'm used to and without sauce it tasted pretty bland. The chicken wing was absolutely scrumptious. It had a bold smoke flavor, tender, juicy, seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I'll be back for those. Sweet Tea is freshly brewed and was good. Banana pudding is homemade and was also very good. Service was kind, prompt and attentive. Pricing was ok...seems everything is going up nowadays. Not the worst, not the best. Ambiance was clean and typical of most BBQ joints. Appreciated the fact that they had a wash area OUTSIDE of the bathroom. A vibe that sends the message of 'roll up your sleeves and dive in, this meal is gonna be messy' and I was there for it. Keeping this place on my list the next time I'm in the area. read more

Let me tell ya...Patrick and his team were rockstars!! I needed a last minute catering order for an account with 40 people....they had it ready and in the car in 20 minutes. His entire team jumped in to get me taken care of! The Food was fantastic! I received so many compliments and comments about how it's the best BBQ in Memphis. I thought some of the employees were going to lick the Mac and cheese pan. Top notch service and food guys! Thank you! read more

Service was really good. I think we were seated by the owner. He handed us over to a nice, knowledgeable, and capable server. I had the Junkyard Dog minus the coleslaw. It comes out looking like a neat but messy pile of food. You have to use a knife and fork to eat it. It goes down like a flavorful mess of goodness. The hotdog itself was the best hotdog I've ever had. It was smoky deliciousness read more

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! read more

Everything was amazing. The hostess was the best and very informative. The BBQ was the best we've had a long time. I highly recommend that if you are in the area to have a meal there. WE WILL BE BACK!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

EDIT: After posting my review I received correspondence from the VP who then passed along my information to who i believe to be the general manager regarding my experience. They both seemed sincerely apologetic and eager to make the situation right for me. In all of their help, neither asked me to remove or change anything about my review. This says to me they truly care about the customer experience. They displayed the type of concern I had hoped for in the beginning. Mistakes happen, so I'm absolutely open to giving this restaurant another chance. The quick resolution did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much ! I purchased a feast for work on December 23, 2025, which was advertised to feed 8-10 people. I picked up the order around 4:30 p.m. Since I work nights, we didn't open the bags until later. Once everything was laid out, I realized a double order of pulled pork was missing. I called the restaurant at 9:48 p.m. to report the issue. After explaining the situation, the associate who answered placed me on hold, which was concerning since the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. When she returned, I had to explain the issue again before being transferred to a manager. The manager, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, was very kind and attentive. He acknowledged the mistake immediately and stated that he would issue a refund for the missing items. He also collected my personal information and said he would be sending a gift card for the inconvenience. To date, I have received neither the refund nor the gift card, and I haven't received any follow-up from the restaurant. While the food itself was pretty good, the lack of follow-through in customer service makes me hesitant to patronize this business again. For future reference: under-promise and over-deliver. read more

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. read more

I tried the leg quarter meal. It was moist was not dry. Had a good smoky taste and I love the baked beans .The only problem I had was on Yelp. It says that the lead Quarter meal comes with your choice of two sides but when I arrive, I noticed that now it only comes with one side. I had no problem with the service. I will try them again. The only thing I will ask is will they please update the menu options on the Yelp app read more

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. read more

We ate at the Timber Creek location for the 2nd time yesterday. The food was great as was the service.

IT IS GREAT!! read more

My favorite BBQ restaurant ever! I was having a bad day so I got some BBQ nachos. I love the way they package to go nachos. I don't have to worry about them being soggy when I get home. It also lets you customize a bit since everything is packaged separately. The staff was kind and quick as they always are! read more

I travel a lot. I'll try this place two nights in a row and both times the food was awesome and the service was awesome. The turnip greens are super delicious. The smoked sausage plate was plenty to eat and just as good as the rest of the food . Thanks Mike and crew ! cheers read more

First time experiencing this location. Food: the Junkyard dog (beef hot dog) was okay. The pulled pork is a nice touch along with the slaw, beans and fries to top it off. But!!! Not ideal for 2 persons to share. Had high hopes for this menu item. The appearance does not match up to what you actually get. The relish was slightly on the salty side. Overall I would revisit this place but order something else. Service: staff was friendly and fast Ambiance: casual, family friendly, and clean dine in space. read more

Stopped by one afternoon with hubby. We were seated immediately and drink orders taken. Despite our waitress having several tables, she made sure to check on us often. It wasn't extremely busy, but there were a nice amount of people here this afternoon. There was quite a bit to choose from, but I ordered the half order of bbq nachos and hubby got the pulled pork sandwich combo with fries. He also ordered 1/2 rack rib dinner (half wet/half dry) with greens and baked beans to have for dinner later that evening. Food was decent and got the job done. Not sure that I'd drive out of my way to visit again. read more

I love this place. I took my nephew for the first time. We had quesadillas and different sandwiches. The brisket was very tender. We both enjoyed our meal. The quesadillas were filling so we took the sandwiches home. The service team was quick to prepare a table. A guy came from the kitchen area to offer assistance but the dining area team was already on it. I think the prices are reasonable for the portions. I do recommend trying one and Only if you are not far from one. read more

There is rarely a problem with the food. The service is great when Kathleen takes care of Us. She does a fantastic job. A constant area of needed improvement is the dining room. More often than not, there is always a presence of aggressive flies in the dining room. On My last visit, half way through my meal and within minutes of each other, flies fell to their death onto the table. There are three separate doors at the main entrance to the dining room. Two are external and one is an internal door. Most times, the internal door is held open with maybe a bungie cord. Doing so I believe eliminates one of the barriers that would reduce the amount of flies that enter the restaurant. One and Only, please keep the doors close read more

The food here is almost always good. A few items like the deviled eggs could use a little improvement as the eggs are usually a little overcooked but overall, everything is good. Service is normally on point and the atmosphere is what you would expect. This location is one of the best for size read more

This location is surprisingly big on the inside with a small parking lot. They have overflow parking. The staff is amazing. I ordered the jumbo brisket sandwich but they did not have brisket. I got the jumbo pork pull sandwich with cole slaw. The sandwich was big but the meat was not tender and not seasoned. The 3 BBQ sauces helped with the blandness of the sandwich. The spicy BBQ sauce and mild BBQ tasted good but nothing special. The mango habanero sauce was sweet with a kick. My sides were onion rings and turnip greens. It was a large amount of onion rings and maybe the best onion rings I have ever had. The turnip greens were great and had brisket in it. We also ordered the bologna sampler. Best smoked bologna with grill marks. The cheese tasted great. This place is on the expensive side but it is worth a try. I want to come back and try the beef ribs. read more

They have a huge menu just about anything you could ask for. The food is really good. My husband was excited because they had a fried bologna with slaw sandwich. The service was good, can't say a whole lot about the ambience. It's not a very big place. No music playing, but they do have a drive-through and you can read the menu which is pretty high up on the wall and has 50 to 60 things on it! read more

So I'm visiting family in Memphis and wanted to try "famous Memphis BBQ" . This place was recommended and it did not disappoint! Let me start by saying, One & Only BBQ is the 1 and not the 2 by any means!!! It should be a crime how good the brisket is . How is it humanly possible to know how to season and cook brisket THIS GOOD? I shouted out in dismay during my first bite. No kidding. As soon as that brisket touched my tongue , I shouted , "MY GOD!! THIS BRISKET!" We also order a bologna sandwich, smoked chicken, green beans, both baked beans (vegetarian and the one with pork) , Mac and cheese, sausage , Texas toast and pickles and cheese. The green beans were sweet which I didn't like and the Mac and cheese was okay. I didn't eat anything with pork. The pickles were delicious! The chicken was moist and flavorful!! Again, if I could choose to only choose 1 place to eat brisket in the entire world, it would be here!!!! Get some brisket today!! But don't buy it all like you will be tempted to do ... save some for me read more

Always a great go to. Bbq sauce like no other. Service amazing. If you haven't tried a must have.

I want to say that I had a bad experience at this location for Christmas Dinner. I must say Mike C. immediately reach out to me and I appreciate that he did more than what David did. All I got was I'm sorry. So Mike C thank you again for reaching out to me. read more

Stopped in for my first taste of classic Memphis barbecue, and was not disappointed! From the moment I walked in the door, the staff was so welcoming, helping me navigate their extensive menu to get the best selection of meats & sides. After sampling around, I'd come back for the incredible smoked pork ribs and smoked chicken wings - seasoning is amazing! Perhaps the best wings I've ever had, no sauce required (saying a LOT coming from a Texan). The twice-baked potato salad was too much for me, would try something lighter next time. But definitely save room for banana pudding, decked out with Nilla wafers like grandma used to and every bit as comforting. read more
