Memphis Soul Cooking

Very happy to find this spot not far from Beale Street. Nice friendly staff and wonderful soul food! The oxtails over rice were amazing, our first time trying this dish. Catfish was crispy and good flavor. Fried okra was perfect, as was the macaroni and cheese. Portions large enough for us to take some home. Great experience!

My family and I love to try to check out some local spots when we travel. Memphis Soul (formerly 99 Cent Soul Food Express) seemed like a great spot for lunch after visiting the nearby Civil Rights Museum It was FANTASTIC. No frills. Simple. Delicious. Order at the front counter. Wait a few minutes (even if it doesn't seem busy, you might wait 10 minutes or so ... but it is WORTH IT!). Then they'll call you back up and give you a bunch of styrofoam containers. Sit down and eat....read full review

Food was great but service could use some work, same worker manning the food and register and fulfilling orders...unfortunately saw multiple customers walk out because the line was getting long and he couldn't keep up. Food was everything we were looking for! Tasted Like mom's home cooked meal, awesome fried okra and Mac and cheese, fried chicken was hot and made to order, best fried pork chop ever--super tender and well seasoned
