This was my first time in Memphis. This restaurant was recommended by someone. I must say the ribs were the best ribs I’ve ever eaten. Oh did I mention the sides were even delicious! I highly recommend you to stop by if your in Memphis your taste buds will be well satisfied.

I have been eating here since the 10th grade (over 30 years) and I haven’t found a better BBQ place yet. Every time I come home I have to stop and get some A & R. As soon as people find out I’m from Memphis their 1st question is always I’m going to Memphis soon who has the best BBQ??? My answer.... A & R��
Best bar b q in Memphis to me. Try the BBQ nachos with extra sauce. Yep, finger licking good can't no other place compare, I love this place
I had the rib combo my husband had the smoked wings. Deeeelicious! The building looks old and worn but the food was hot and fresh and hot. I've never seen perfectly breaded okra till I had theirs.
We had the ribs platter and it was awesome. I have had BBQ many places, but the ribs with the dry ingredients rub on them were delicious and filling.
My friend and I where on a road trip, and knew we could not pass through Memphis without getting barbecue.
Finally we found a spot that have food we actually wanted Glad to say it was A & R BBQ.
We we're driving all the way from Minnesota. And I have a mind to make the trip again just for some more of A & R BBQ
Fast service and excellent portion size for the money. The mixed sauce was my favorite but the rub on the ribs without sauce was excellent too!

Oh my Jesus, I'm from California visiting some family out in Memphis. I told them to take me to the best BBQ restaurant in town because I heard that Memphis has the best BBQ. They brought me to this fabulous establishments where I ordered Ribs, potato salad and greens beans. I told myself that I'm going to take some back home to Cali. That food was so delicious that I just had to eat it all.
We had rib tips and hot links. DELICIOUS. Just right. The okra was some of the best I ever had.. along with the slaw! Thank you, guys.
Had your tamales shipped for an event in Dallas, TX. I told them that theses are NOT Texas tamales. They did not disappoint and were at hit� Thank you so much. You now have new fans in Texas!
We had a bit of everything and each was better than the last. Thanks for a delicious meal and the hospitality.
Best BBQ I've ever had. I will recommend to all my friends who visit Memphis!!!
If you’re looking for the best in Memphis BBQ sandwiches be sure and stop here. We came in at 1:00 pm and it was a steady stream of customers right through the time we left. Freda is the person at the front to deal with and she’s a super order taker, hostess and waitress when needed. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other items.
Food was great! Smaller Portions vs price. Mixed sauce was good but not hot at all. Next time, I'll try all hot. I had brisket , onion rings, cookies and rib tips (hard to find in the south) could have been a little more tender but great! Folks were pouring in to buy!
Excellent! The beans were so good. Got the Lemon Meringue pie- not tart or lemon flavor enough for me.
Ribs was good, Whenever we are in town we always stop. Make sure you know what you want when you
Come to the counter. Customer service is kind of lacking but that's what makes it good.
I came here for the fried sweet potato pie, and it didn't disappoint. I also got some rib tips. They lacked flavor. I just added some salt to them and they were decent. There was a long line.
Okay, 🤔where shall I BEGIN? The location on Elvis Presley 👐HOLY GRAIL of Bar BQ👐 in Memphis Tn, PERIODT 👉#CaseClosed #NextCase.
From the Coleslaw, I literally sit and ate by itself (without thinking) to these "🔥FIRE BEANS🔥". These baked beans got some "O-Wee" sauce in them. These rib-tips, aka 🐐The BILLYGOAT of the BLUFF🐐.

"BETTER GET YOU SOME OF THIS BAR BQ HEAVEN"
A & R is THE TRUTH!!! I've probably been to 100 spots.... this is top 3!! They got all the smoke! I can't wait to go back.
Had the rib plate and bologna sandwich, both really good choices! Close to Graceland, if you're visiting the area.
I tried it for the 1st time and it was very good. I got the turkey breast sandwich (large), but it really don't think it's any different from the regular size. I came back the 2nd time for a turkey sausage sandwich combo, baked beans, and a fried peach pie. Amazing. The only thing I could see that needs to change is the pies can be cooked to order so that they are hot. All and all good food!!!
You got to Go There! Great Food, Great Service, Comfortable Atmosphere. I Get the Large Beef Combo with the Mixed Sauce. They have a lot of Desserts to fit your Taste! 😄
Very friendly staff and incredible pulled pork sandwich. The beans and sweet tea/lemonade combo hit the spot as well.
BBQ nachos seen here were good and plenty. We met several people traveling who also decided to stop by the infamous place. I have not been here in several years and my SO wanted some NYE bbq. The redesign looks really nice. Nice size dining area in the back for large guests. Bought a slice of cake which I was not impressive with the taste. The BBQ sauce was not too heavy or thick which is a very good thing with my acid reflux. We definitely will be back for more A&R bbq.. It was delicious!! I think my SO made a great choice to stop here and eat
My wife and I went here with my daughter's family in maybe 2019. So why am I reviewing it now? Well, my daughter is visiting us now in Scottsdale, AZ, and she noticed a new BBQ place opening here. We got to talking about great BBQ. A&R is our pick. Everything I ate -- including and especially the smoked turkey leg my granddaughter couldn't finish -- was fantastic. Loved it all.
Ordered the pork shoulder plate. I had the onion rings and fried pickles as my sides. It was so good. Definitely worth trying out.
The food was so incredibly delicious. My only issue was I didn’t really understand most of the menu(I’m not from the US). Pictures or a brief description would have helped.

I’ve eaten at every barbecue place in NC worth eating at and most that aren’t over 40 years. I’ve tried dozens of other styles around the nation as well. The pork shoulder sandwich is easily one of the top three barbecue experiences I’ve had, no question. Perfectly tender, smoky, and the sauce doesn’t cover up the quality pork.
The sides aren’t slouching either. The beans are what every pot of beans wants to be. The okra was fresh and right out of the fryer. No pre-breaded frozen stuff here. My only complaint is that it’s 2000 miles from where I live. Do not miss this treasure.
