One & Only BBQ
Competition-quality smoke with a growing Memphis footprint
One & Only BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee.
One & Only BBQ on Kirby Parkway has become one of the premier barbecue destinations in the Memphis suburbs, the anchor of a brand founded by a team with deep Memphis in May competition roots. It bridges the gap between contest cooking and a neighborhood restaurant, bringing trophy-circuit technique to an everyday, family-friendly table.
The ribs show that pedigree, with the kind of precise bark and clean smoke ring you expect from a competition champion, seasoned dry with sauce on the side. Pulled pork plates come generous with sides, the smoked wings carry real hickory off the pit, and the BBQ nachos load up for the table. It is competition-grade smoke without the competition attitude, sauce-optional and confident, which is why the eastern side of the city keeps it consistently full from lunch through dinner.
