“Once again the salmon entree was unique and delicious!! My dining companions so enjoyed the lamb special! I LOVE the French 75 on the cocktails menu; that's a wonderfully and (maybe slightly) different spin on a French 75. My Napa Salad was exactly what I wanted, and the evening's creme brulee special was the perfect way to end a superb dining experience!”
“One of my Memphis hometown faves! Literally everything on the menu (food and cocktails) are superb. I am not generally a red meat eater but their wagyu steak is the best I have ever had. Highly recommend~”
“We are from Minnesota, and this is the best seafood we have ever had, and we love our seafood. My wife had the New Bedford Scallops, and I had the Louisana red fish. We have leftovers for tomorrow. If you are in Memphis, this is a place second to none.”
“Great service (thanks Theo!), GREAT food, great ambiance, and great music. Even the manager was great by telling us the brand name and style of their bar tumblers. ?”
“like all the other reviews said, the wait is not short because it’s not fast food, but it is definitely worth it. there was only two people working so patience is a virtue. everything was hot and fresh and the cookout burger didn’t have that faux meat taste which i appreciate and it had some sweetness! i scarfed it down real fast lol. the street corn is good a bit salty but nevertheless, i will be back.the inside was clean and they played old school music which is how i knew the food had to be fye. there is a “watch your step” sign at the door btw.”

“This was our family's first time at Bog and Barley and it did not disappoint. I had the Ruben and it was Great. One fun thing you can do is if you order a Guinness they have a laser printer that prints different messages or designs on the foam of the beer.”
“Had an amazing dinner here with family for my birthday. Mint Tea was delightful. We tried many dishes, none of which disappointed. Loved the housemade vegan bread. ? My least favorite thing was the cucumbers but they were still fresh and refreshing. Chicken, beef and Kefta Tagines were all excellent. Appetizers were all excellent. The depth of flavor they were able to achieve in the dishes was something special. Thank you for tantalizing my taste buds. Our server, Elias, was a true, rare gem. The friendliness, professionalism, and inviting nature of him was extraordinary. And the joy that he exudes is a rarity today. Best server I have had in YEARS! We live hours away buy what a treat! I hope Andalusia sticks around so we can come back and enjoy it again.”
“India Palace is amazing! The food is amazing and always very enjoyable, the service there is beyond exceeding! My family goes to eat there every so often after church on Sundays and it's always amazing!! I would definitely recommend!!”

“This is the best restaurant in Memphis and my wife and I always say it’s worth the drive from Oxford. The Lobster bisque soup is the best I’ve ever had anywhere and the service from valet, host, hostess and server is above and beyond. This place opened spring 2009 and will continue to be a staple in Memphis.Lindsay and Smitty SmithOxford, MS”

“We come here regularly whenever we want to treat ourselves (But also get takeout sometimes. They package it really well). The food is excellent. Vegan options and really big servings.Vegetarian options: Many things that are already vegan or can be made vegan easily.”

“Me and my Fiancé went here yesterday for some mid day drinks and to rest our legs from walking around town. We sat at the bar and mr. GRANT was so amiable and took great care of us!! He had great cocktail recommendations and was very inviting. The lovely ladies at the coffee bar were also very kind!! It was a wonderful experience in a cute/eclectically decorated space!! Definitely coming back!!”

“Everything you have heard is correct. Make sure you get the home fries and cinnamon roll pancakes. Oh and bring an appetite. Stop looking around and reading reviews and just eat here already. Pro-tip: join the waitlist before you get there.”

“Yall when I tell you this is the best vegan spot in Memphis, it is. The staff is super cool and the food is so delicious. I would post photos but everything got devoured lol. I am so full and pleasant right now. Shout out to Sun of a Vegan. Good food and great service. If you’re vegan or want to try vegan options, look no further. What are you waiting on.

“Orale is a small Mexican/Bakery spot. The prices are more than fair for what you receive. I think the most expensive thing in the menu is 13.99 or 14.99. My wife and I live close by, and it is one of our go to places. The baked goods we get are about $1.50, so we go home with a couple of those after we eat. Currently, my favorite thing to order is the barbacoa tacos, which are insanely good. My favorite baked goods is the molasses (I think) cookie shaped like a pig.Everyone we have brought has loved it, and we never wait too long to eat. They owners (or staff) are very nice and always serve with a smile.Seriously, I feel like I've been to 100 Mexican food places in Memphis, and this is one of the best.Two things to know: not a lot of parking and I don't believe there are fountain sodas (only the glass bottle kind).Parking: Not hard to find parking, there's just not a lot of parking.Kid-friendliness: No problem for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”

“Coffee shop is fantastic. They don’t up-charge for non-dairy milk, and price/quality are great. I just wished they opened a bit earlier in the morning.*Not a skater / not a review of skatepark”

“Our server got off to a bumpy start, but later got better. The food was excellent, and the ambiance is great. Overall, this is an excellent choice for a date, or a night out with friends. The piano was an added bonus!”

“I recently dined at The Lobbyist It left my taste buds in awe. The menu featured a creative fusion of flavors and unexpected pairings, showcasing the chef’s culinary prowess. From molecular gastronomy techniques to inventive presentations, each dish was a delightful journey for the senses. The attention to detail and commitment to pushing culinary boundaries made for a truly memorable dining experience. While the prices reflected the avant-garde nature of the cuisine, the overall adventure was well worth it for anyone seeking a unique and indulgent gastronomic adventure.”
“where do I start? ?the service is chefs kiss ?- I’ve always had amazing servers who try to make our experience special.✨I could write a love song aboutthe wedge salad. I get it every time.✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet.✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like.my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”

“We stopped in for dinner after a less than stellar meal at another restaurant. First, the menu is incredible and executed to perfection, with care and discipline. Second, Marvin is a professional-class server; he treats every table as if it were his only one. Third, the front desk manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome on our celebration evening. If you've read Guidara's 'Unreasonable Hospitality' and wondered where to find it in Memphis, it's here.”
“We came with 8 people. The ribs were some of the best I’ve had. The pizza was great, and the grilled cheese was delicious. Bring your wallet and your expandable pants.”

“Out sightseeing and looking for a place to eat lunch, and the pictures of the food pulled me in! I was curious of the name, and the wonderful host Judy told me that it was for South of Beale. Meeting Judy when I came in the door was just the beginning of this wonderful experience! We discussed what a cool place it was, and how much she loved working there and taking care of her customers. Then Taylor came up to wait on me, and she continued the happiness of being there. After a little discussion, I went with the Duck Fried Rice, the picture of which was the thing that brought me to SOB. It did not disappoint, it was amazing! The entire lunch was just so pleasant, from the atmosphere, to the staff and then finally the food. I can’t wait to go back and try more things!”
“We went here on a Tuesday night to celebrate my sister's 37th birthday and the food and staff were 10/10. Very attentive and accommodating. This place is nice and not cheap.”
“Great times at knifebird! I'm glad it's in the neighborhood, it was perfect for an end of day decompress. I love a chill vibe wine bar. It didn't feel pretentious and the wine options were great. Even on a budget, the house wine is great too. My only negative is that when we ordered the small cheese platter, the chocolate was Banana Flavored! I think that's something you need to put on your menu or tell the customer before you bring it out. Not everybody appreciates banana flavored chocolate but it gave us a laugh and added to the experience. Thanks!”
“WHAT A SPECTACULAR PLACE....! Incredible attention to their diners...very friendly treatment. And for those of us who speak little English, a very special alternative, a lot of patience and distinguished staff.”
“Sonia, was an amazing waitress. We were fortunate to have her wait on us for a second time. She is very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Highly recommended. Will ask for her each time we visit. The steak was cooked just as requested. Very tasty.”
“This restaurant is always a great experience from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. The delicious food and cocktails are consistent and always perfection. The waiters are top tier and the service is exceptional. Will be going there again soon because I can't get enough.”
“We had the BBQ chicken and BBQ sandwich, both were amazing! Best BBQ we've ever had. Lisa was our server and she was phenomenal! The hostess was fantastic! Mike, thank you for having an amazing staff! I'm looking forward to my next Memphis trip.Thank you,Briana”
“Public Bistro is AMAZING. I’ve had several meals here and I’m always impressed. I also love their mocktail (yay for alcohol-free inclusion). The restaurant is beautiful and staff is fantastic. Highly recommend!”

“The Getaway is a Laid back chill spot you can watch the game on one of many flat-screens, it's a pool hall so plenty smoke such as cigarettes, vapes and cigars.. The food was good and they do serve beer, clubtails and coolers... If your in the Perkins/Winchester area stop by and check it out..”
“Amazing staff! They were patient and delivered exceptional food for hundreds of customers yesterday...6/25/2023. Memphis experienced a blackout in that part of town after a severe thunderstorm, and they still were there to serve us food. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work !”
“My recent visit to Dixie Queen was a delightful experience that centered around a classic favorite. The restaurant's laid-back and friendly atmosphere set the perfect stage for a satisfying meal. I enjoyed a cheeseburger, and it was a delicious treat with a perfectly grilled patty, melted cheese, and all the fixings. Dixie Queen's commitment to delivering a quality and classic cheeseburger was evident in every bite. The friendly service and the relaxed ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a cheeseburger enthusiast or simply seeking a taste of American comfort food, Dixie Queen is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!”
“Whoever was at the window around 3 goin on 4:O’clock had the best customer service I’ve seen in a while her and her team followed directions as I asked for my food to be crispy which I appreciate bc not everyone take their time to fulfill requests like that as i experienced before I’m only vouching for the shift I spoke of shouts out to y’all.”
“Best burgers ever. Long wait most of the time but worth it. Lime and pineapple freeze are bomb! Fries are terrible but all else makes up for it. Friendly staff. Wings and Philly steak are good too. Been eating here since I was a kid and has been consistent always.”
“I travel alot so my breakfast is is very important to me, I always visit Wafers house the food is great and not expensive at all.. this one in particular was amazing all employees were taking care of business and very polite I was was served and table touch (Waitress check up on me) will definitely stop by again. GREAT JOB.”
“They are improving! Not long ago the service was slow and left little to be desired. But now it seems they have a good crew working and it has turned around. Good job!!”
“Me and my husband love this location at 2,3 or 4 am. The Indian girls always so nice and attentive even tho they have a lot of doordash or uber eats they always take care of us and i just move in getwell so perfect ❤️”
“Best fast food around. Unfortunately, the order was wrong. The young lady was more invested in her phone than in her service. She was friendly enough but not paying attention to her job.”
“A big "Thankyou" and a "Hello" to Blake from Keith & Beverly (Scotland). Our phone was dying and our "pick up Driver" had gone partying leaving us stranded after visiting Graceland. He arranged us a "safe Cab" and we returned to our Memphis Hotel no bother. Should be made "Employee of the Month" !”
“First time trying this location. Food was actually good. Only thing annoying was the young lady at the window kept talking to us,constantly asking questions early in A.M.”
“Best Waffle House in Memphs. Most cities have some of the nastiest waffles house. This one is not the waffles where perfectly cooked with chocolate chip and peanut chip”
“IHOP tries so hard. They have an amazing business model. The problem is, at a place like IHOP, the workers need to care as much as the owner does. And let's be real, the workers aren't making enough to motivate them, and I honestly don't blame them.”
“The speaker box is messed up at the drive thru and the menu there is busted out. Informed there was no soda at the drive thru. Honestly, if they had posted a sign saying that before I got stuck in between cars I wouldn’t have got in line.”
“The lady who took my order was fast and friendly. I asked for no mustard, and she repeated it back at the speaker. She also verified it at the window, so I know she was doing her job. However, one of her coworkers was not as attentive since my Krystals both had mustard. I was on my way to the airport, or I would have gone back. I'll go back, but I'll double check my order before I leave.”
“really enjoyed the rigatoni (we both got a version of it) and the staff was nice and sauce flavorful. little pricey especially the buffalo mozzarella for the portion you get, but it was still good.”

“The BEST Brunch in the City!! My husband and I were first timers and will DEFINITELY be back!! There was a short wait but we didn’t mind at all after receiving such incredible hospitality from Ms. Jennifer. She truly made us feel right at home! The food was incredible and the staff was amazing and tentative! I HIGHLY recommend!!!♥️”

“They should have named it after Memphis; Ghost Town Brewery. Aside from the location, five stars. This part of town is a perfect example of what gentrification looks like in America.”
“International wings NEVER disappoint!!!!The service, atmosphere and definitely the food is always pleasant and on point. The food is always delicious. I will return for more and if you haven't tried those chicken rolls you are missing out........perfectly delicious. Better visit and get you some. Keep up the great work ladies!!!!”
“This place is wonderful! Great vibes and friendly, helpful service. The food is amazing! ? The spinach dip is out of this world. The combo with chicken drumsticks has so many sides and they are all so good. I was surprised how much I liked the cole slaw! ? Please try them all.Vegetarian options: All vegan!”
“I love banana pudding. I went on a little banana pudding tour while visiting Memphis and this place was amazing. It was the best banana pudding I had in Memphis. I literally went there and got the banana pudding after eating dinner at a restaurant just up the street. The pudding here was thick and smooth. Had a fantastic balance between the sweetness and the fresh pop of the bananas. A lot of the banana puddings l had in the city were very very sweet and or runny or had so many nilla wafers that it was just a cake. This is a must try spot...and don't get me started on those butter cookies, which they use in there banana pudding. Do yourself a favor and get some of those cookies!”
“Don’t pass up the fried chicken, it’s as good as advertised, and so is the coleslaw and baked beans. A *great* big thank you to our server Whitney, she is the best. Thanks for making sure I didn’t live my life without ever eating fried green tomatoes, Whitney!”
“The owner was very friendly and attentive. The burger and the seasoned fries were next level good. And their white honey (no sugar added) fresh squeezed lemonade is a must-try. Will be back next time I’m in Memphis!”
“Best breakfast I had in Memphis. Those biscuits were top notch. I had the Rooster and Bologna breakfast sandwiches and they were fantastic. I would go back to Memphis just for those. It's a must try breakfast place.”
“I have been coming here for years and LOVE this restaurant. Authentic food and the family here is so sweet. Definitely a hidden jewel here in Memphis. I always come eat here when I come to town!”
“really enjoyed the rigatoni (we both got a version of it) and the staff was nice and sauce flavorful. little pricey especially the buffalo mozzarella for the portion you get, but it was still good.”
“I very rarely give a review but I had to give The Crazy Coop its well earned 5 star rating. I placed the order online and within a minute upon entering I was called by name to receive my order. It looked amazing and the confidence on the owner's face and his closing remark of "See you next time!" was prophetic. I took my 'crazy hot' wings home and enjoyed the just right, fall-off-the-bone chicken with the tastiest hot sauce I've ever had on wings. They had just the right kick too and had me cleaning the plate. My wife had 'sweet lemon pepper hot' wings and she agrees that The Crazy Coop is our new favorite wings stop. If you want the best wings in the Memphis area this is your place! We WILL see them next time we need our wing fix. Thank you.”
“Super chill brewery with a wide selection of beers on tap. Even though it’s a brewery, the food here is out of this world. I’ve loved every appetizer and burger I’ve tried. The cheese curds are buttery and taste better than I’ve had in Wisconsin. Also recommend the hush puppies, pork belly appetizer, burgers and fries.”
“Ok, so we came through down from Minnesota and the wife told me to find the best BBQ in Memphis that is dog friendly, So many places popped up that were over 4 stars. only a few were above 4.5 and this place has earned the 4.7 and is actually very underrated still at the current score. The covered patio made it great for the rainy weather today. I was prepared to stay in the car and keep an eye on the dogs but the covered patio really made it a step above so many other dog friendly eateries.I love when a server notices my drink is low, but the dude that served us noticed the dogs water was low and filled it. That was A+ service there.The youngest child and I went halvsies on a Debris Po Boy and the Red Headed Stepchild. Wife got herself the Three Meat Platter of Brisket, Pulled Pork and Debris, the toast that came with it really showed some feistiness with a sprinkling of some chili powder blend.The boy and I devoured the Sammiches. I tried to convince him that the Debris was too spicy in hopes I could have the whole thing along with his half the sandwich but he enjoyed the burn. The Debris sandwich is unlike anything I have had before. It's an amalgam of all the bits that fall off or ends of all the different meats that they lovingly craft here. I like a crafty waste reduction method, double kudos for making it work so well.The Red Headed Stepchild was a very flavourful sweet and tangy affair. The slaw was very creamy with a slight spicy background.I don't normally go to a place twice, I like to try as many different places on a trip, but I am very sure I am going to be navigating us back to this place in a week on our way back home.”
“The lemongrass tofu is awesome! It is even better than Saigon Le’s was and the sauce is perfect!!Vegetarian options: Lemongrass Tofu, spring rolls, green beans with mushrooms!! So good!”
“Very executive and cozy. The kind of bar Cooper-Young has always needed. It reflects the personality of the neighborhood, and is welcoming to all. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The drinks were phenomenal. We will be back when we visit Memphis again.Vegetarian options: I had two different mushroom dishes that were fabulous.Dietary restrictions: There were several great gluten free options. The special jambalaya was also gf.”
“Super cute place and friendly atmosphere. I love the cozy feel and the ube ice cream is SO GOOD. I love taro boba teas and theirs was one of the best I've had in a long time. Definitely a new favorite spot and I can't wait to go back ”

“Came here for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Perfect atmosphere for a special evening. We ordered the lobster bisque, lobster ravioli, tirmasu, boscaiola-shrimp and burrata. Would recommend ?”
“Amazing food! This is the most flavorful and delicious food I’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend the curry potato stew, collards and fufu the flavors are perfect, chef’s kiss. They have a huge variety of vegan options with very generous portions for a great price. I highly recommend this restaurant, they are 10 out of 10!”
“The drinks and employees are always wonderful! Just would like to see a trash can for customers, since employees aren't allowed to throw away our used cups.”
“Corky's BBQ in Memphis is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the service was super fast and incredibly friendly. Our server, Karmit, was an absolute delight - attentive, knowledgeable, and truly made our night memorable.Now, let's talk about the food - oh my goodness, it was spectacular! We tried their dry rib rub, and it was nothing short of perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and it's easily one of the best dishes we've ever had.We came all the way from Kansas City to watch the NCAA tournament, and out of all the must-try places in Memphis, Corky's stood out as the clear winner. The ambiance was cozy, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the food... well, let's just say we'll be dreaming about it for weeks to come.If you find yourself in Memphis, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for Corky's BBQ. And be sure to ask for Karmit - his impeccable service truly elevated our dining experience to a whole new level. Can't wait to visit again!”
“When I tell you I drive pass this place everyday so looking for something good for my money to feed 2 people so I came across this place on the internet so I tell you it's 25$ dollars it's so good and they have a sauce bar it's really good I was surprised and it fed us I'm glad I went there it's in Whitehaven and we love Mexican so that hit the spot Perfectly service was fast and quick ambiance was very clean and inviting thanks again for the amazing food”
“I was told this was the best BBQ in Memphis. We arrived right as they opened on a Monday morning, so I can understand that certain meats weren't available yet-although they should stay on top of it. I had the pulled pork nachos, and I should have asked for light sauce, as it was overwhelmed with BBQ and nacho cheese. The meat was unbelievably tender and delicious. Even though it was from the night before, it had a smokey flavor with spices I assume are secret. My husband had fresh ribs that fell right off the bone.The atmosphere is very family oriented. I can tell they have a lot of loyal regulars and a decent nightlife with pool tournaments. The guys who served us showed us that souther hospitality we tourists always hear about.Don't let the building fool ya. Some places, like Rendezvous, are geared towards tourists with bright lights and loud decor. When a great BBQer is a master of their craft, they focus more on the food and less on the building.Overall, sauce was too sweet, but the meat was top-notch. Service was awesome, and the atmosphere had a lived-in feel.”
“We are from Mobile Alabama and we’re in town for our Corporate Summit for Lenny’s Grill & Subs and wanted to grab a quick lunch before hitting the road. We drove past the Smackers location Hwy 64 and decided to give it a try. We had never heard of Smackers, much less eaten at one. Walking in was impressive, the store was clean and well decorated! The staff was extremely helpful in our decision making and clearly knew their brand well! We had a seat and spoke to a few locals who sang the praises. Shortly we received our order and man were those praises validated! If I’m ever in the area again I will make it a priority to stop back in!! Thank you for a great experience!”
“OMG! This was hands down the best thing I found in Memphis. I haven't had this kind of authentic Chinese cuisine in decades. At so many places it's like eating what is in the grocery store freezer.Thier hot & source soup...amazing! Thier house fried rice...off the chain! The owners seemed like good nice people. Huge portions great prices!”
“I’ve basically tried plethora of Island cuisines around the Mid South but this one stands alone. Flavorful, authentic will definitely make you want to go for more.”
“Best Chinese Food Ever.I will eat here forever.Go and see for yourself; you won't regret it.Vegetarian options: They have pictures.Dietary restrictions: Ask the cashier.Parking: There's enough parking.Kid-friendliness: They even have their kids there so, yes, kids would love it.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“We visit this smoothie king a couple times a week even though we have one closer to my home because the employees are so very nice and polite. I wish I knew the name of the guys that usually takes my order.”
“The owner of this location hires quality people. The staff will learn your name if you are a repeat customer, what you like and youre always greeted with a few hellos and smiles! I enjoy this location because of them and the smoothies. ”
“For the hungry and want it fast crowd this place will do the job. Mostly Chinese dishes with some American thrown in. Most of their business is take out but they have seating for 32. We showed up about 1 ish and we were the only ones eating in but saw a steady stream of phone in orders being picked up. My partner got the chicken fried rice and I agreed with her it should have had more chicken in it. I selected the steak and shrimp sub and the meat was ground up, not hamburger but certainly not sirloin. Few shrimp in it. On the edge of Tiger Town for what it is, it’s not bad.Parking: Lots of roomWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room in the dining area. Restrooms are ADA compliant”
“Breakfast buffet was fantastic, they will make you custom omelets, a wide variety of items, I went Monday morning before my tour of graceland, believe me you need nourishment before the tour a lot of walking. I'm glad I did.”
“The first time I had Dixie Queen a friend ordered it off DoorDash so I didn't get the full experience that people have been "warning" me about. A week later, I decided to try the one off Shelby. I was in line for well over 35 minutes. When I got to the window, I realized why. They use the very first computer for their transactions ???just kidding but in all seriousness, they could come up with a new system to crank people out a little bit faster. Anywho, I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, 6 piece hot lemon pepper sprinkle, and a large cheese fry. My food was fresh and bomb! I plan to try a milkshake the next time.”
“?Good Fortune Co.Memphis, TNThe menu for the Chinese New Year celebration was phenomenal.We got free shots?My cocktail was a refreshing cucumber moment. I forgot what my sister had lol.Let’s talk about the food?We ordered and shared appys The Charred Edamame was salty, and tangy and had the perfect amount of smokiness from the char?GFC Wings are fried to crispy heaven and tossed in this semi sweet/spicy sticky Sichuan Honey Butter that’ll leave you licking your fingers? The Impossible Beef Dumplings were my ABSOLUTE favorite! The filling was well seasoned, and the fried garlic and chili crisps took it to the next level. It was served with soy dipping sauce that I couldn’t resist!If you’re in Olive Branch, MS make that drive down to Memphis, TN and get in on this delicious food! The chef know what they’re doing over there and the customer service is top notch!Our server Rory was an absolute gem!Check out my IG: @foodiecutie or TikTok @thatsashlee for more reviews and adventures ?”
“We stopped in for dinner after a less than stellar meal at another restaurant. First, the menu is incredible and executed to perfection, with care and discipline. Second, Marvin is a professional-class server; he treats every table as if it were his only one. Third, the front desk manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome on our celebration evening. If you've read Guidara's 'Unreasonable Hospitality' and wondered where to find it in Memphis, it's here.”
“Lord behold, I found a diamond!!! Walking into this place felt like a warm hug. Yes, it is a restaurant in a house!!!I love the concept of fellowship and having dinner with people you don't know. We all set around the table like one big family. And the smells that were coming from the kitchen just took me away, and when I got to taste the food. It was just like my mom's, God, rest her soul. I truly enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere n the hospitality was phenomenal. I will definitely be back !P.s try the kool aid??”
Fine Dining
“Had birthday supper with dear friends tonight. Jared S was very attentive to our needs and took very good care of us. I had the very tender 10 ounce Filet Mignon with grilled asparagus and smashed potatoes. For dessert, we had samples of the super creamy cheesecake and flourless chocolate espresso cake. This was the perfect dining experience!”
“Had a great birthday experienced, service was top notch, all the food, sweets and the palate cleansing in between courses are all delicious. We saw the chef in the kitchen which was a highlight of our dinner as well. We are local so will be back for sure.”
“Enjoyed my meal in the bar. Enjoyed listening to a wonderful piano player. The service was spot on and my food was excellent. Met some lovely ladies and enjoyed myself very much.Parking: Unless you want to pay the park get there early”
“Ben is a great server, and I apologize for my tardiness for this review.The food was great. I ordered the Dover Sole Meuniere, and it did not disappoint.I was so deep into my dish that I did not remember what I my wife ordered, but I do remember that she had an after dinner drink while I chose the Brandy Alexander. We were both very satisfied.Please stop by if you're in the area and feel impressed with their menu.”
“The Best Christmas Present Was Being Blessed With Knoledge Of Them Being Open Every Monday For Slices And Mini Pie Etc, Beautifully Spirited People You Truly Taste The Love In The Food. I Have Never Experienced As Much Consistency With Quality Desserts As I Have With GD, I Would Highly Recommend The Red Velvet, Carmel,Strawberry,And Carrot Cake.And Dont Get Me Started On The Sweet Potato Pie Yall This Is No Five Dollar Patty Pie, If I Had To Rate It On A Pay Scale I Would Pay $50 For A Slice(Ridiculous Right? Wrong, If U Have Never Tried It). If You Haven't Tried This Hidden Gem In Memphis You Are Missing Out I Have Personally Tried Almost Everything On The Menue(Even Coconut Which I Absolutely Dispise) And To My Astonishment I Licked Container Clean Is All I Have To Say.”
“As long as they have been there. It was my first visit. I ran into a irrate parent. The worker that went into to action. She didn't let things get out of hand. I appreciate that because that's not me. I will be visiting again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“The drinks were great and the ambience was very nice. No wait staff so all drink orders had to be placed at the bar with only one bartender working . Luckily it wasn't too much of a wait. We only had drinks, no food. My husband was very pleased with the Manhattans. I had a lemon drop and a Rubber Ducky Cocktail. The rubber ducky was made with Malibu rim, creme de banana, pineapple juice, orange juice and a cute little floating rubber ducky.”
“One of the best chicken wing spots in Memphis. I’ve yet to have a bad experience here. My order is correct, cooked well, seasoned well and cooked fresh. Another detail is they always show me my food before I leave.”
“This Place just opened!!! It's a new restaurant and it's very nice. I totally recommend the food. It's more of an authentic Mexican restaurant :)This restaurant just opened! It is very good I recommend it! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place :)”

SOB Downtown
“Out sightseeing and looking for a place to eat lunch, and the pictures of the food pulled me in! I was curious of the name, and the wonderful host Judy told me that it was for South of Beale. Meeting Judy when I came in the door was just the beginning of this wonderful experience! We discussed what a cool place it was, and how much she loved working there and taking care of her customers. Then Taylor came up to wait on me, and she continued the happiness of being there. After a little discussion, I went with the Duck Fried Rice, the picture of which was the thing that brought me to SOB. It did not disappoint, it was amazing! The entire lunch was just so pleasant, from the atmosphere, to the staff and then finally the food. I can’t wait to go back and try more things!”

“WHAT A SPECTACULAR PLACE....! Incredible attention to their diners...very friendly treatment. And for those of us who speak little English, a very special alternative, a lot of patience and distinguished staff.”
“Had birthday supper with dear friends tonight. Jared S was very attentive to our needs and took very good care of us.

Cheap Eats
“We had the amazing pleasure of having Journey, Azelyn, and Kai as our baristas. They were kind, funny, and just all around amazing. They gave awesome suggestions. The atmosphere is perfect: colorful, cozy, and comfortable. I won’t bore yall with pictures of me and my husband in the mustard color chairs, but this is definitely my favorite coffee shop in Memphis.Kid-friendliness: My kids had such a good time. They offered us non-espresso versions of the frappes and chocolate milk.”
“Global Cafe is a culinary haven where different worlds of flavors collide in the most delightful way. Picture this – one space, multiple grills, and a menu that takes you on a gastronomic journey across various countries. It's a concept that's as brilliant as it is delicious.What I appreciate about Global Cafe is their commitment to catering to diverse tastes. Their menu doesn't just cover the basics; it spans the four food groups, ensuring there's something for everyone. And if you're a vegan, rejoice – they've got options that are just as flavorful and satisfying.The ordering process is simple and efficient – you place your order upfront, grab a number, and settle in at your table. The anticipation builds as you wait for your meal, and when it arrives, it's a feast for the senses.Now, let's talk specials. Global Cafe doesn't just stick to the ordinary; they spice things up with unique specials that add an extra layer of excitement to your dining experience.And here's the cherry on top – the convenience. If you're in a hurry or just prefer a cozy night in, you can order through their app and breeze in for a quick pickup. It's a splendid experience from start to finish, making Global Cafe a go-to spot for a culinary adventure that satisfies both your taste buds and your busy schedule.Parking is not fun. You may have a little walk, but it’s worth it.Parking: It’s often a bit of a struggle. The paid spots are closer to the door.”
“My family and I have been coming to Kim Chai for probably 25+ years and love there great deals on food and the portions are on point. Henry is so nice and always so friendly. He treats you like family ?. I highly recommend this place ❤️”
“Great date night. Everyone is super nice and welcoming and they are great at recommending games for you. Good selection of drinks, and for a small fee we tend to bring in take out. Love this ”
“The brewery has a warm and cozy atmosphere. the staff are very friendly and helpful. The band Rockstar & the Night Stars is also great. We loved the place, the beer, the bar atmosphere and the band.”
“It's a very calm clean relaxing place to have lunch ... I ordered the Pho and sushi rolls ?The Pho is a noodle soup ? which you can add meatball, meats and also vegetable sprouts..Parking: At the corner of Summer@ mendenhall I'm not sure if the parking lot is shared with the grocery store or if it's all connectedBut I believe they do HAVE parking in the back”
“Place is absolutely great. If you walk in and it's crowded, fear not, there are plenty of tables on the second floor. The torta is spot on... and huge. Tacos are great, but you should really branch out and try a torta. :)”
“Have loved the treats and cakes for a while now. But recently they offered a brunch event with a special menu to the email list. We had it and it was really excellent. ???”
“It's the only best Mediterranean in Memphis. I have tried their shawarma many times. I gave a try to their vegetarian platter and never be disappointed. I loved the taste of rice, and the platter quantity was huge. Never disappoints!”
“The SPOT. Food was amazing and they stayed extra hours to get us in. Awesome service, great food, shout-out the banana pudding and the ribs. Shari was the best and gave us awesome conversation and service. Great intro to Memphis BBQ as tourists!”
“Atmosphere is authentic - place is quaint - food is excellent! I had the fish and chips and the wife had chicken Caesar salad. Service was friendly and attentive. This place checked all the boxes and it’s got that great local feel! Gosh - almost forgot the bread pudding! Also excellent!”
“Loved the Nashville location, so we tried Memphis. Lived up to the expectations. Great service. Beverages are serve yourself, otherwise they take care of you. The have an outdoor patio that is weather proof. And be careful, hot is ?!”
“Definitely an enjoyable cup of coffee. If you want a really hot cup of coffee, I suggest checking to see if you are able to get it extra hot.While I did enjoy my coffee, it was definitely lacking heat, Luke warm to this super hot coffee lover! It was enjoyable nonetheless!This is a great location to hangout and super busy, I am not a local but noticed that many people were running into people they knew.They also have a variety of things to purchase to help various charities giving you the opportunity to do good while you are there...”
“Usually would stop at a convenience store for coffee, but thought I would treat myself to a better quality coffee. Thought the $4.xx for a coffee was a little steep, but it was totally worth it. Delicious!”
“Great beer, great atmosphere, great owners & local business that is invested in the community. 5/5 stars - I recommend going to on a Friday night for Music Bingo Trivia, had a blast more than once. Good family (& dog) friendly establishment, Memphis is a better city because of local breweries like Memphis Made Brewing.”
“Beers are usually hit/miss for me personally. I forgot the flights are expensive($20 for 4 4-oz pours)...not sure why, bc they are served in plastic cup, so no extra work to wash. I expected something like $12 or $13 and a total of ~$30, so my bad for not asking. On two flights of (4) plus tip it went to $50 ??Most beers on draft are $7 or $8 a pint which is reasonable by themselves.Anyway, I don't rate low because I know about small biz and the importance of ratings. Also it was my bad for not asking. I hope this helps, though. I hadn't been here in a while. I like flights, so...I now remember why I hadn't been in a while(I recalled having a sentiment or feeling there was some reason but I couldn't remember). Unfortunately I can't afford it.Staff is friendly, helpful, etc. decor is nice, nice garage doors and outside setup connecting to a walking path I never knew about(I think it's new?) Basically everything but the price of a flight is good or reasonable.”
“This place is off the chain. We parked in the back, and first thing the cook at the pit was talking to us and showing us the cooker. Walked inside, and the ladies at the counter were nice and friendly. They offered some samples. The only problem with that is that you want it all. So we got the 3 meat trinity sampler. Brisket, 2 kinds of sausage, and ribs with Mac and Cheese and BBQ beans. We was about 2/3 done with the meal when I thought about it that I hadn't tried the BBQ sauce. The meat was so good it didn't need it. The brisket was just right. It didn't fall apart but was really tender. The ribs were also delicious. Just the right amount of tug of the bone. The 5 cheese mac and cheese was delicious as were the beans. If you don't stop here at some point when in Memphis you will be missing out.”
“Nice atmosphere, even the owner was nice enough to welcome- had the “build your own omelette”- cooked perfectly and paired well with their grits. First time in the area for work, would come back.”
“Amazing food! This is the most flavorful and delicious food I’ve ever eaten. I highly recommend the curry potato stew, collards and fufu the flavors are perfect, chef’s kiss. They have a huge variety of vegan options with very generous portions for a great price. I highly recommend this restaurant, they are 10 out of 10!”

WingMan
“Went today for lunch wings and fries were AMAZING! But let me just say I don't know what/ who/ or how Wingman is making that ranch dressing but they need to bottle it and sell in every store and they give you enough for your wings and fries! Chef kiss to the WINGMAN . ?”
“Great times at knifebird! I'm glad it's in the neighborhood, it was perfect for an end of day decompress. I love a chill vibe wine bar. It didn't feel pretentious and the wine options were great. Even on a budget, the house wine is great too. My only negative is that when we ordered the small cheese platter, the chocolate was Banana Flavored! I think that's something you need to put on your menu or tell the customer before you bring it out. Not everybody appreciates banana flavored chocolate but it gave us a laugh and added to the experience. Thanks!”
“So, I normally can't eat waffles cause most people make them with pancake mix. But these folks make theirs from scratch. With real maple syrup. I almost cried.Also, celiac friendly menu.Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly options!”

SOB East
“This restaurant is always a great experience from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. The delicious food and cocktails are consistent and always perfection. The waiters are top tier and the service is exceptional. Will be going there again soon because I can't get enough.”
“The best brewery in Memphis. They make a variety of styles and absolutely nail all of them. I'm a big fan of their pilsners, German style and Czech style. They also make amazing sours, IPAs and a variety of dark beers. The space is like a German beer hall with plenty of seating and room to hang out. The owners and staff are so kind and helpful. This is the kind of brewery I would visit on a vacation and wish I could go back to all of the time, but it's here in town and I can. Memphis is lucky to have a gem like Soul and Spirits.”
“Looking for a great place in Downtown Memphis on Beale street, this is a great spot. Ribs were fall off the Bone seasoned great. We got the Combo of 1/2 Rack Ribs, 2 pieces of catfish, slaw/beans/bread and steak fries for 2. 1 soda..With tax and 20% tip hit around $47. As a Memphian this is a decent spot to eat at. We took a walk as well on the Old Bridge walking path while downtown as well.”
“Amazing in every way. For those negative reviews, if you leave a $7 tip on a $143 tab you deserve the evil eye. And I can promise you, the owner loves all people.”
“Great place for some live music and a fun crowd. Got in around 6pm, left at 10pm and saw two bands in that time. $10/pp cover charge.We also ended up having dinner - Chicken Fried Chicken with Mac/Cheese and vegetables. Chicken and Mac were rich and salty (delicious). I don’t know what they do to the vegetables but please stop. They were in a bowl literally swimming in oil (or something) - inedible. Service was good. Overall a solid experience and would recommend checking it out.”
“Catfish Friday night! Probably some of the best I've had. Great atmosphere and food. Best local place to eat in the Bartlett area!Wheelchair accessibility: There was plenty of room”
“This place didn't miss! Some of the best food I've ever had. Resturant food that tastes and eats like your grandmother made it on a Sunday.Came in sat right down with no wait. Ordered and 10 minutes later the food was on the table. Had fried fish and shrimp.....Piping hot and straight to the table. Greens, fried okra, black eyed peas and fresh cut fries on the side. All seasoned and cooked to perfection. Let me not forget the hushpuppies..........If you're in town it's a must try. I'll be back for sure.It looked so good when it hit the table I didn't get a before.....but the after says it all”
“Great cigar lounge and bar. This place has a cozy atmosphere and friendly locals. The bar tender “Dee” was very friendly and mixed several nice drinks. The bar specializes as a Bourbon bar but also caters to other drinks as well. The bourbon selection was impressive, and I was able to get three whiskeys that I’ve sought out for years, including Weller full proof and Weller Antique. The owner introduced himself and several of the locals would share a story or two around the bar. We stayed for hours longer than planned and enjoyed watching sports on the tv over the bar. If you would like to enjoy a cigar and a nice whiskey, I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this establishment. The friendly and knowledgeable staff and locals make for a pleasant evening.”
“Great staff. Had the burnt ends sandwich, the KC Melt, and it was the best sandwich I have had maybe ever. Blue cheese slaw was great too. Scheming already on when I can get back over there. Staff was very nice and helpful.”
“Stopped in for dinner and had a Salmon Avocado and Eel Avocado rolls for dinner. I liked the Eel so I ordered another one. The rolls were very good and the service was friendly and prompt. This is a relatively small place but cosy. Service was friendly and prompt. Definitely worth a try!”
“My fiancé and I came down for my birthday and ate here on February 2, 2024. I sooooo love this place and the food! We found it off Tik Tok and it was so worth trying! They really do cook with love! Very friendly, food was hot and fresh and they make sure you feel right at home. Thank you all for the fabulous service and food. My finance’ and I will be back!”
“Loved our evening at this historical Bartlett restaurant. The new management team has kept all the great things about Side Porch and elevated them. Highly recommend!”
“Courteous, considerate staff, even when overwhelmed with orders(!). Great place to grab a bite (or a meal for the whole family) on the way home, or for lunch, or wherever!”
“The food and atmosphere was AMAZING. The only issue that I had was the senior citizen who was seating customers told me that I needed a reservation. He asked me if I had one. I told him I didn't. I literally watched him sit two other couples before me who had no reservation. I asked the couples if they had reservation, they responded no. He tried to sit the 3rd couple but I stepped up. It was giving Samuel Jackson's character in Django.”
“Dude, great freakin' ribs. Learned that a dry rub is far superior and would have never known without trying both. I recommend this place to everyone visiting. The server was friendly and helpful. The energy was very relaxed and I'm glad I stopped by ?? thanks!Parking: The parking lot is in the back. There's an entrance from the parking lot.”
“Came here for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Perfect atmosphere for a special evening. We ordered the lobster bisque, lobster ravioli, tirmasu, boscaiola-shrimp and burrata. Would recommend ?”
“Fantastic food! Delicious food and great service! I can’t wait to try more of the menu. I had the Surf and Turf and my wife had the fish ceviche and highly recommend both.”
“If you don’t eat here at least once in your life you are missing out! Best place I have been to in years.. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you to everyone who works here excellent food!! Keep it up!!”
“Wow. Wow! What an amazing tour. Taylor was an incredible guide. She was knowledgeable, likable, fun and a whole bunch more adjectives of greatness. Each and every stop on the tour was un-flippin-believable. The amount of food was substantial, she means it when it states come hungry. Of course there was bbq, but a deep fried burger? (Being made in the picture) Holey smoley it was tasty! If you are in Memphis, a tour is a no brainer. And a great value!”
“We love to sit at a table in the bar to have Angela wait on us. She is amazing, remembers your name and your drink. She'll tell you her fav items, I always go with what she recommends and I'm never disappointed.”
“I had a group of 14 that wanted a nice dining experience before we went to a concert that started at 7:00. The chef/owner, Morti, called me back immediately when I left a message on the reservation line and said that the best way to meet our time schedule was for everybody to go online and make their menus selection for me to text to him which I did. When we arrived, the table was beautifully set for 14 and our waitress was waiting for us to take our drink orders. Our food arrived within 10 minutes and everything was absolutely wonderful! I can personally vouch for the veal piccata which five of us had and it was excellent! She gave us separate checks as we requested and, after a wonderful meal and nice conversation, we had plenty of time to go to our next event. This is truly a secret gym in East Memphis in Brookhaven Circle with a wonderful atmosphere with nice music in the background, but not so loud that you can't have a good conversation. I highly recommend Marciano's for a special night out!”
“I'm a vegetarian and I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and I didn't think I'd enjoy myself as much as I did. This is literally the most flavorful and delicious "crab boils" I've had and there wasn't any even crab. Worth every penny and it made me question my choice to not eat meat. Super friendly staff and a great environment.”

Yomama
“OMG, I would've never thought to stop & eat here, but a friend recommended it. I'm GLAD I tried the food. It was DELICIOUS. The burger was very well seasoned & cooked throughly. My fries were hot, fresh, & seasoned. I didn't get to try the Yo Mama juice, but hopefully soon. I'll definitely be visiting here again SOON.”
“We were so happy to find this great spot for a quick healthy lunch. We all enjoyed the açai bowls. Not many healthy options in the area so this was a real oasis!”
“Had a great time! Visiting from out of state with 4 kids. Didn't take long for us to get a spot and were completely blown away when our awesome server Nick (hope you get a lot of credit for this. You deserve it!) and his coworkers started to bring out small batches of dough for the kids to play with! Wonderful customer service touch. We also take pride in being self diagnosed pizza snobs...we loved the pepperoni quality, crispy crust, and fresh basil. Sadly we messed up not taking pictures. You can blame the kids.We will be back anytime we visit Memphis, Midtown. It's nice to feel at home, away from home.Kid-friendliness: They give kids dough to play with at the table. Neat touch.”
“We have now visited twice. This restaurant is really to be one of the best restaurants in the city. From the weight staff to the bartenders to the housemate cocktails, I cannot find one thing to complain about. Everything is an exceptional experience. But the food. It's something else. A well done, upscale menu and dining experience.”
“They have Amazing food for Brunch (The Post Roast, it's my favorite) The Pork Chops are delicious also ! And service was great. I just wish they bring the rolls back. But anyway, I'll definitely be back again.”
“The spuds are absolutely delicious The pizza spud an the regular spud with cheese chives an bacon are my go to's The cheeseburger is fire as well an don't forget about the 2pc catfish an fries Charles my brother keep up the good ”
“Came here on a whim. First time. Greeted and seated promptly. Not particularly busy on a Friday night. Server friendly and very willing to make recommendations. Good test of a neighborhood bistro is the burger. Large with an abundance of dressing, is slightly undercooked. Although delicious. Fries were as good as I've had anywhere. Worth a visit just for them. Several tables of younger single women dining together and it appears a faithful bar crowd with a permanent happy hour menu and drink specials. Will be back.”
“Fantastic selection of really interesting beers - lots of styles you don't often see. Not all of them hit individually, but the vast majority did; and one simply has to give enormous respect to a brewery willing to be so exciting.”
“I'm not an all you can eat buffet person but this restaurant was actually good. I like the fact that you mark on the menu what you want the waitress takes it to the kitchen and they bring it out to you. You finish that and do it over again for as much as you can eat. So it's like a All you can eat but you don't have to get up and get it. If that makes sense. If you have leftovers it is an extra charge. The location is clean. There was no wait time. All the food was fresh and well cooked. You do have an option of not doing the $28 All you can eat and just ordering as if you were at a restaurant but I feel it would be better to just do the All you can eat.”

Bar Hustle
“My, my, my! Bar Hustle is The Bar, bar none! I’m chilling at Bar Hustle on a Sunday afternoon with friends and Juntao has mixed us up a round of inspired and personalized cocktails, based simply on on a quick round of questions regarding liquor preferences. This man is a master mixologist able to combine liquors, liqueurs, spices, citrus, and other ingredients into cocktails that will have you sitting on a bar stool for hours!”
“Had a great birthday experienced, service was top notch, all the food, sweets and the palate cleansing in between courses are all delicious. We saw the chef in the kitchen which was a highlight of our dinner as well. We are local so will be back for sure.”
“Ordered Siga Fir Fir to-go. Extremely fresh and hot, perfectly seasoned. The owner is also very friendly and pleasant. Good feelings all around after eating here!”
“My wife and I decided to skip the BBQ on our next trip to Memphis and picked here- what a GREAT choice! Fantastic lunch menu with great prices and portions. The BLFGTA was both of our favorites. The truffle fries were great to share. We would love to return for their brunch menu.Parking: There’s a small lot beside the restaurant with paid parking.”
“Really good food. Cooked to order, so it's always fresh and hot. My order was ready before I could even sit down and wait on it. Got the steak and chicken burrito, which was really huge and tasted ok. It's was a little greasy but edible. The Tortas are good. I've also tried the quesadillas and the soup. Everything I had tasted fine, but my favorite is the shrimp tacos!Parking: There is a one way in entrance with about 8-10 parking spots, which is decent because most people are just picking up orders, so they are in and out pretty quickly.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating makes a good space for kids to run and play.Wheelchair accessibility: It's pretty much on an open lot, so no worries about sidewalks or hard to maneuver places. Handicap parking is also available.”
“Some of the best pho I’ve ever had! Everything was extremely authentic. Makes you feel good after eating it. Super friendly service. Can't wait to try what else they have next time. I live kind of far, but it is definitely worth the drive! :)”

“Enjoyed my meal in the bar. Enjoyed listening to a wonderful piano player. The service was spot on and my food was excellent. Met some lovely ladies and enjoyed myself very much.Parking: Unless you want to pay the park get there early”
“Had some great Texas Fries! Hernando's Hideaway is full of history with a great vibe. Awesome place to hang and listen to some great live music. They were low on help but still managed to take care of everyone.”
“Good eating! The sushi is ?I had the shaggy dog and crunchy shrimp. The sushi is some of the best I’ve eaten. Even the way they plate it is appetizing. The Cajun Seafood Fried Rice is ???! I add carrots and zucchini. It has become my favorite fried rice in the whole city. The seasonings make it so good.”
“We absolutely love this place! My husband proposed to me here, so it has a very special place in our hearts ?. The food is amazing! I've had the Chicken Marco Polo many times and it never disappoints. Great drink options and the service is always top notch whether you sit in the dining room or at the bar!”
“Omg this was my first time having African food it was absolutely delicious, service was great answered all my questions to help me make a decision on what to eat.”
“The spot was on point! We sat at the bar on a Sunday. The bar tender KD was amazing! She makes really good drinks! The entire staff were very friendly and attentive! The Crab Cake Benedict was delicious! Cooked to perfection! It's my new favorite entree! My husband ordered the salmon Benedict! He loved his meals too! He said that's one of our spots!”

“Shrimp arepa was amazing. Loved it with the cilantro sauce. Brunette arepa was ok. I thought it was too meaty. Seafood empanada had a strong fish flavor. Tequenos were good but tasted better with sauce. Unfortunately, they forgot our tres leches cake.”
“Nice place for lunch. Food and service were ok. Did not like the queso. The sauce on top was oddly sweet. Salsa was pretty average and not worth the price. Calamari and guacamole were good. Definitely recommend the hot honey shrimp. Enjoyed the lamb sliders the most. Fries were burnt.”
“Ben is a great server, and I apologize for my tardiness for this review.The food was great. I ordered the Dover Sole Meuniere, and it did not disappoint.I was so deep into my dish that I did not remember what I my wife ordered, but I do remember that she had an after dinner drink while I chose the Brandy Alexander. We were both very satisfied.Please stop by if you're in the area and feel impressed with their menu.”
“By far and away, the best wine list in Memphis (and probably the entire state save for BlackBerry Farm). The owner selects each bottle personally, curating an elite list of high-end pinot noir (new world and burgundy) and Napa Cabernet that goes far beyond the usual, basic Caymus/Prisoner offerings you get at other peer establishments. It is a bit of a splurge but it’s worth it every time.”

“First off, the new renovations are great and give the restaurant a different vibe. There are even some new menu items. I will try the Brussels Sprouts on my next visit. I got my usual, fish and chips. It comes with seasoned fries and rice. It was delicious! Service was great as well.Vegetarian options: Lots of grilled veggie options!”
“Loved it all!!! Tiffany our server was excellent. She really got to know us and was super friendly. The food outstanding. Definitely one of the better places I have eaten ever!Dont confuse this place with Frank Grisanti’sWhich we tried it was HORRIBLE!”

“I don't know if the cook is the owner or not but he came out and went to every table in the restaurant to check on everyone's food. I never saw so many smiles and laugher from so many customer before...The food is delicious.”
“Great drinks, it was decently busy but not overly. So there were some empty tables but mostly filled, easy to go sit at the bar also. The bathroom was surprisingly dirty.”
“My wife and I absolutely LOVE this place. The food is great, the bar is excellent, there are NO bad items on the menu, we promise. It is a tad loud inside. They would do well to add some acoustical treatments. It seems like a shouting match some nights, lol.”
“The restaurant was beautiful, and the food and drinks were some of the best I’ve had in Memphis. Our server, Kevin, made sure we had excellent service the entire time, as well. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
“Tried this spot for the first time tonight and it was instantly saved in my favorites. The Elote was banging and the Carne asada steak ? tacos ? the steak was like GRILLED BBQ smoked brisket flavor definitely coming back the prices was really reasonable. With that said this place is "CASH ONLY" ?”
“We had to wait because they had only one person taking order and delivery food to your table.The guy very nice and apologetic for the wait.We order the lamb shank with collard green another vegetable.It was delicious!!”

“Delicious meal in an upscale setting (inside). Salmon was prepared terrific with a light glaze and decent portion. The table enjoyed an assortment of appetizers which everyone enjoyed the baked brie as well as the tuna tartar. Solid wine selection and good desserts which the table thought the key lime pie was best. Attentive service. A good place to entertain clients, family or have a romantic dinner.”

“A truly Memphis experience. Great hibachi, sushi, and cocktails. Make reservations, and hope that your chef is “magic” Mike who, along with the place itself, has been around for decades. Some staff can be unfriendly, but if you persevere and keep an open mind, you’re in for a good time.”
“Traveled to Memphis and ordered carry out. Hostess was friendly and personable. The food was well packaged and tasted great (spicy chicken ramen and appetizers). Will order next time in town.”
“First time trying this restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious. The only con was my appetizer did not come out until I was ready to check out but the waitress made up for it. I will definitely be returning.”

“Our family enjoys eating dinner out once in a while, though it can often be disappointing. This location was the exact opposite! While the appetizers did take a little longer than we had hoped, all of our food was hot and fresh. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We definitely recommend eating here!”

“Golden City’s chicken with stringed beans is delicious! The chicken is tender. I loved the sauce as well. I commend Golden City for the ratio of meat to veggies. There’s not many places in this city where you are served healthily portioned plates.”

Picture this – one space, multiple grills, and a menu that takes you on a gastronomic journey across various countries. It's a concept that's as brilliant as it is delicious.What I appreciate about Global Cafe is their commitment to catering to diverse tastes. Their menu doesn't just cover the basics; it spans the four food groups, ensuring there's something for everyone. And if you're a vegan, rejoice – they've got options that are just as flavorful and satisfying.The ordering process is simple and efficient – you place your order upfront, grab a number, and settle in at your table. The anticipation builds as you wait for your meal, and when it arrives, it's a feast for the senses.Now, let's talk specials. Global Cafe doesn't just stick to the ordinary; they spice things up with unique specials that add an extra layer of excitement to your dining experience.And here's the cherry on top – the convenience. If you're in a hurry or just prefer a cozy night in, you can order through their app and breeze in for a quick pickup. It's a splendid experience from start to finish, making Global Cafe a go-to spot for a culinary adventure that satisfies both your taste buds and your busy schedule.Parking is not fun. You may have a little walk, but it’s worth it.Parking: It’s often a bit of a struggle. The paid spots are closer to the door.”

“My favorite soul food establishment in the frayser area.. Food is always hot and fresh when I go. Since I've learned the menu I never walk out empty handed.”
“I have been coming to Nam King for over 30 years. They have the best Fried Rice and egg rolls in the city of Memphis. If you can’t get good fried rice, the rest of the food will be poor. I have followed them all over the city and the store in Raleigh has always been my favorite. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and anyone else who asks me where the best Chinese food is. I was so grateful when they reopened. Thank you Bonnie Zhao for keeping the restaurant going!”
“International wings NEVER disappoint!!!!The service, atmosphere and definitely the food is always pleasant and on point. The food is always delicious.

“Don’t pass up the fried chicken, it’s as good as advertised, and so is the coleslaw and baked beans. A *great* big thank you to our server Whitney, she is the best. Thanks for making sure I didn’t live my life without ever eating fried green tomatoes, Whitney!”

“This spot is located inside The Peabody Hotel. We only had breakfast here which I felt was quite reasonable and really delicious. It was beautifully presented by friendly and professional staff.”
“Always a treat at Jerry's snow cones. Everyone knows them for their amazing snow cones and ice cream but there is more than meets the eye. I am a regular for their wedding cakes combos but I have never tried any of the food from there. Until today. I wasn't ready for this mega double cheeseburger. It was huge and tasted great. The kindle cut fries were super crispy and hit the spot. Can't wait to bring the Bae next she is craving a burger.”
“A perfect night out with my best friend! We were both very impressed with the whole experience. Our waitress was fantastic and knowledgeable. She offered recommendations and made sure we were well throughout our meal. The drinks were great. The food!!!!! We had the oxtails and the Cajun pasta with lamp chops and chicken! Amazing! We were ready to come back the next day after our first bite.”

“Service was really good, the atmosphere is great. From outside it smells amazing, but food was subpar. Chicken nachos were just kind of generic, lots of nacho cheese. The ribs were extremely tough and almost. Wouldn’t even rip the meat off the bones. Brisket was good, but as everyone else has said, pretty fatty.”
“We had really good drinks, love the new menu! Didn't try and food yet. One group was taking very large flash photos which was a little distracting and because the sign going up says no flash photography, only complaint last night. Would still go back.”
“It feels like traveling back in time, the service is really nice, and the food is AMAZING. Really try those french toast, you'll never regret it. So so good.”

“This place is seriously the best place for authentic Mexican food in Memphis. The al pastor tacos is the tastiest in town and the fish tacos are hand battered with their own blend of seasonings. The salsa bar is amazing and all made in house. Can't wait to go back!”
“Service was personal, everyone was friendly, food was limited as they have not opened yet, but the food was over the top fantastic. They are still in the process of moving in and decorating and I’m looking forward to eating there again when they have their full menu..”
“We have now visited twice. This restaurant is really to be one of the best restaurants in the city. From the weight staff to the bartenders to the housemate cocktails, I cannot find one thing to complain about. Everything is an exceptional experience. But the food. It's something else. A well done, upscale menu and dining experience.”
“The best! The best wings! The best fried chicken! Incredible fries too. ? The grilled chicken and yellow rice is delicious! Love this restaurant and the family that owns it is so generous and have pride in their home cooking!!”
“This is one of the guys who started Bala's Bistro in Whitehaven. There are a few of the same items but 90% different menu with good variety. I sampled the salmon meatball and will get it next time.The Thiep Yapp is a good meal. The chicken is seasoned well, veggies are tender and everything has a slight hint of spice without being flaming hot.They need a,bigger place already. Folks were streaming in to try the new West African neighborhood favorite!”
“The food is super tasty and the staff very friendly. Nice alternative for when you want to eat a lunch without meat or want to take a quick sandwich with you. The lemon citrus cupcake was also very tasty! Recommended!”
“We was a group of 13 that decided to meet for dinner & drinks. The children loved the food and the margaritas were awesome! We didn't received any attitudes and they accommodated us well. Our server joined tables together (without us asking) so we could be together. We enjoyed!!!”
“Good food and service. Just needs to give more limes and sauce. They give you 1 spice of lime with 5 tacos. The lime could be dry and not squeeze. Lines are the best part of mexican dishes. Give it up!”
“This is the best restaurant in Memphis and my wife and I always say it’s worth the drive from Oxford. The Lobster bisque soup is the best I’ve ever had anywhere and the service from valet, host, hostess and server is above and beyond. This place opened spring 2009 and will continue to be a staple in Memphis.Lindsay and Smitty SmithOxford, MS”
