What R R likes about A & R Bar-B-Que:
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.Food: 3/5 View all feedback. What Nunya Business doesn't like about A & R Bar-B-Que:
The food to me was bland. The sauce was regular bbq sauce but nothing fancy. It was hot tho and the fries were crispy. It wasn't anything special about those either. NOW THE STRAWBERRY CAKE WAS ?. The chocolate was ok. The ribs were not hard to eat but tender just wished it had more seasoning. Now the sausage sandwich was DISGUSTING! It was cold and old. The plate looks appetizing but looks can be deceiving. Now they... View all feedback.

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

The restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. Some diners found the food to be bland and unimpressive, with complaints about cold, old dishes and lackluster ribs. Others, however, raved about the delicious barbecue offerings, particularly noting the flavorful ribs and mouth-watering sides. The restaurant seems to have a loyal following, with some patrons traveling long distances just to enjoy the BBQ. Overall, while there were some service and cleanliness issues mentioned, many customers highly recommended stopping by for a satisfying BBQ experience.

Ordered the pork shoulder plate. I had the onion rings and fried pickles as my sides. It was so good. Definitely worth trying out.
