A&R Bar-B-Q in Memphis, Shelby County, United States | A la Carte Restaurants

Welcome to A&R Bar-B-Q in Memphis, United States.  Andrew & Rose Pollard founded A&R Bar-B-Q in 1983 as a fast food take-out restaurant. Over the years, A&R Bar-B-Q grew, providing customers the option of dining-in, as well as catering.

When A&R Bar-B-Q first opened in Memphis,  a very small menu provided barbeque and hamburgers and service walk-in customers only.  But as the business transitioned into dining-in, the restaurant expanded.

A seating area, accommodating 75-80 persons, was added for the large lunch crowds now served day-to-day. Also, the Latrice Pollard-Anthony Room is frequently used for private parties and large groups.

Catering was soon added to the list of services, and now counts for 1/3 of the business revenue.

In 2001, a second location at 3721 Hickory Hill Rd. opened to accommodate the fast growing Hickory Hill-East Memphis base customers.

Now there are three restaurants across the Memphis area serving hundreds and hundreds every day.
