One & Only BBQ

“East Memphis's neighborhood rib house on Perkins”

This Perkins Extended storefront is the East Memphis counter in the One & Only family, a friendly, unfussy pit anchoring its stretch of the neighborhood for years. It runs the same hickory-smoke-and-takeout rhythm the brand keeps at its other locations, built for regulars who want smoke without a wait or a scene. The menu stays on the One & Only line: smoky dry-rub ribs with a clean bark, wet ribs sauced for the other side of the debate, and pulled pork chopped for sandwiches. The barbecue wings lean on real hickory, and snappy smoked sausage rounds out a tray with range. It is a straightforward neighborhood rib house, the sort of counter that measures success by how many Perkins regulars come back rather than by how many tourists ever find it in the first place.
