“We called at the last minute last night trying to get a table before a show at the Orpheum after our original plans fell through. They got us in and seated immediately, took our orders quickly, had us in and out within 45 minutes. The food was outstanding, and our server Terri was wonderful. We never felt rushed but they worked hard to get us to the show on time. Excellent experience!“
“That red sauce... so good. We didn't have reservations on a Friday night and got seated at the bar. The bartenders were excellent. Drinks were excellent. They do it right at this place. Definitely worth the short Uber from our downtown hotel.“
“Great food, good location, nice atmosphere. The music is great - but generally too loud to carry on a conversation (so it's not ideal for a date if there's a band playing. Check ahead). Probably my favorite place to eat in Overton Square.“
“I went here on a whim during a work trip to Memphis and was absolutely blown away by this restaurant. The food was phenomenal - there was creativity, depth, and surprises with every menu item and drink I ordered. I appreciated the care taken to create an interesting mocktail and am very much looking forward to my next visit here!I had the scallops, carrots, and Brussels. Everything was delicious!“
“Recently discovered Board to Beers and have already signed up for a monthly couples membership. Me and my husband love board games but don’t have the space or funds to have the huge collection we dream of, so instead we get to enjoy tons of games for such a small price with great vibes, drinks, and people. Plus who doesn’t love to support their local nerd community!“
“If your in Memphis TN and you like Italian, this is a must try spot! The entire experience for me was fantastic. They have some amazing appetizers and the portions of the plates are priced so you can try a few different things and get a good idea of what this place is about! Great Italian ?“
“I recommend going for evening drinks/dinner. Cocktails are good, service is good, great atmosphere. Dinner food is also good. But I just went for brunch and it was meh. Bloody Mary was good and the breakfast potatoes were DELICIOUS, but I was surprised at the quality of the breakfast sandwich. It was tasty in its own right, but it was just three ingredients on a hamburger bun (not really the “brioche” the server said it was), something I could get wrapped up in foil at a grocery store. For a higher level restaurant, I was expecting something more. Would also love to see more options for egg Benedict than just pork belly; salmon is on the menu so it seems like it would be easy to put that as an egg Benedict option.“
“My fourteen year young son was in the International Blues Challenge in the youth category. James played four different venues although this one was the smallest, it was his favourite! The sound quality in it was fantastic as this was recorded on my cell phone.“
“Ciao Bella has to be 1 of my favorite restaurants in Memphis! Every dish I've had has been absolutely delicious! I try to save food to take home every time, but it never makes it! The service is amazing and I love how they designed the new restaurant! It's elegant but still very much inviting. I like to think of Ciao bella as my little well-known secret that I don't like sharing.“
“Quite an unusual place. One of the few places left in the country that still rents videos including VHS tapes. They have an open area where they set up chairs and have concerts. The atmosphere for the concert was intimate and the sound quality was very good.“
“It was amazing to meet people from all over the states and the world! The live band was great! I enjoyed my time in Nate’s Bar upstairs. Ray Charles, BB King, Jack White, Loretta Lynn, and the names go on to the great musicians who’ve stopped here to eat or do a little more. It’s also said to be haunted! Make sure to say Hi to Nate upstairs he’s worked there for over 30 years and has some stories! Also try the soul burger!“
“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.“
“Well I posted my comment to minglewood that I wanted to post here. I'm sorry bout that. I thought it was 1 place. But these place was a great place to go and have a laugh or 2. Drinks was great and the atmosphere was great. Comedians was very good and staff was very nice. We will be back.“
“This neighborhood place was a shocking great time! It wasn't fancy nor huge, but the vibe was easy pure soul and rich blues. The band was on fire! First the waitresses were serving hand patted burgers, golden hot catfish, and fries. Next- they'd hit the dance floor! Then, I was dancing too! It's a byob and I didn't even know that. The food was so good, I've been since for a late night hot meal rather than a drive through. I had so much fun that I came back with my party and celebrated my birthday. It was a blast! Big Don, Chloe, and the house band shut it down! With BYOB the price was right and everyone was into it.“
“It is a good place to get a unique burger and fries. The challenge seems a bit extreme for me but if you have 4 people that can put it down then give it a whirl. Or you can do the one by yourself. Was good food. Not a fan of the fries a bit too much oil for me.“
“Great patty melt. I attended a birthday party and it was nice for my age group - grown & sexy. The DJ was nice and turned downed the sound for us to sing happy birthday! Cool lights. Bad parking as usual for downtown. Card reader to place order was having issues as well. Overall nice time.“
“A must visit for your Memphis trip or girl's night. Everything was delicious. Our server was amazing. I had the Shake Baby Shake frozen coffee cocktail- delicious and not too sweet. Make sure to get the Brussel Sprouts appetizer. I was nearing full at the end of the meal but could not say no to the gelato. We had the basil and olive oil and raspberry marshmallows. Bot delicious.“
“Had a great time at Mommas tonight. The Dive Tai was pretty strong! I enjoyed it. Sitting on the patio was nice and relaxing. Smoky wings were juicy and good. Chili was thick and flavorful. I really liked the fries. They were more like potato wedges so don’t skip the fries. Our waitress was really nice and even when I was just sitting there in a random spot waiting on my friend someone checked on me. Can’t wait to go back!“
“Visited 3.15.24 at 4 pm.I had a beer, 6 PC wing, and shrimp steak lamb kabob = $33.Food great! Locally crafted beer was good. Jorge was super attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were taken care of. Menu prices $9 to $17. I will be back. The other young service was friendly too (curly hair maybe a teenager or 20 or so). If I recall correctly he couldn't serve the beer...so a teen.Place clean restroom clean...good job!“
“This is what I'm talking about.Wet Willy, oh, my gotten his young lady poured me well.It came out of a wand she makes me a drink that was off the chain.Good, it was sweet and delicious, fun and good.You must have one of these when walking down the streetKid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: If you have a real chair you would really like this place There's nothing like drinking is sitting in your own Chair“
“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.“
“Went on a Sunday afternoon to check out the brunch and had a great time! As usual the food was delicious! I had the catfish and grits with breakfast potatoes, and couldn’t finish the plate. Drinks were on point too! I tried a mimosa and a cherry lemon drop. We sat at the bar and our server DeeDee was everything! Beautiful inside and out! We never had to ask for anything, she was always on it. Definitely going back and I’m checking for her everytime!“
“Phenomenal burger. Cooked perfectly. Butter and toasted buns on point. Creamed spinach was delish. Tina's service was on point throughout the dining experience. I totally recommend this location to anyone desiring a good beer, great food combined with amazing service. 5 ?.“
“I really had a great time at Brenda's, the atmosphere was nice and the DJ was on point all night...Very peaceful and pleasant...Grown folks music, good vibe and surroundings...A hidden whole in the wall tucked in north Memphis....I honestly had a great time ...8 / 6/2023 Sunday was my 1st time there and I can say that I will be returning, but get there early cause it was packed...“
“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!“
“This is a solid spot with a varied menu for the area. In addition to standard pub fare, there are many options, including vegetarian and vegan options. I would definitely stop by here again if I was in Memphis. I wish they had a non-alcoholic drink menu (mocktails) or non-alcoholic beer.“
“A pretty typical bar. Their food is delicious and the drinks are well balanced. I went during the big snowstorm and it was still pretty packed. I stayed in Memphis for two days and came by both days, once for dinner and once for brunch. The dinner, one of their daily specials, was outstanding; I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice. The brunch was not as good but still quite enjoyable, and when I arrived for brunch the service was a little chilly in attitude. Given that there was still four inches of snow outside I didn't let it bother me at the time, but it was a bit off-putting. I know it wasn't because of the previous night, because I mostly keep to myself (aside from a little bar chat if other patrons are wanting to converse) and tip 25%. The bar is walkable from a lot of area hotels, even in the snow, but it is a more dangerous area (at least according to several locals) so use your best judgment and if it's late and you're drinking, consider a ride share.Parking: Street parking only as far as I'm aware. I did not see if it was paid or free as I walked and didn't pay attention, but even in a snow storm the parking was completely full.Wheelchair accessibility: It is possible, but not ideal. It is a slender building and the door is rather narrow.“
“Awesome food.Molcajete is the best. Service today sucked. I had molcajete, cheese dip, sampler platter. There was so much on the table between those items, the girls drinks, my water and amargarita, and chips. No room, so we eat,get to go boxes no room, to even get the food in a box. 4 employees sitting behind the cashier talking, (we were at the first 4 top in front of the cashier) it was not busy we went early cuz we know how crowded it gets. Several servers walking around… not one, even our server didn’t take any dishes away, I was spilling food trying to move things around and get things out of the way to get in boxes. Very aggravating. I love the food there, but, I go out so I don’t have to cook, clean up, and to have a good time and relax. Not to work or be inconvenienced. I usually tip well, but , no not today. There’s 100’s of Mexican restaurants here. When I found this place we were on a quest to find the best Mexican restaurant in town… we stopped there as we believed we found the best.. but the service seems to be lacking lately, so I believe our quest will continue“
“Large selection of beers that you will rarely meet in the US.Prices are high but the happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 pm will allow you to discover the little tresors that this place offers.Regarding the food section: really good and well served. Satisfaction guaranteed! ??“
“Look growlers may be a small venue and the parking may suck but nothing beats their shows. They have amazing artists that show up and do awesome jobs. I've only had good experiences there. You're up close and personal with the band you may even get lucky enough to meet one face to face. Even if you're way back in the bar area they have great sound quality , the food is good. The price of booze and liquor are some what good and a great patio area to chill if you want to get out and get some fresh air also, the staff is pretty chill“
“I've been coming here for about 24 years now. It is consistently good. Food has remained high quality and the service is almost always top notch. I love their nachos, the quesadillas, the cheese dip, all of it! You can't go wrong with Tracks.“
“1st time here and didn't know what to expect. The drinks were delicious and I caught a little buzz from it too. The food and service was good as well. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe. I will definitely be back to visit this place.“
“Very affordable dinner especially recommend the meat plus two vegetables with bread. Only thing that is a disappointment are the deserts. Cobbler is not fresh, seems stale. Hope they'll consider improving their deserts. Fried eggplant for a vegetable is especially a nice pick that few restaurants offer.“
“I'm not sure I need to leave a review, look at the previous reviews and the establishment and Deejay. The place is just awesome and Deejay makes damn good drinks. If you're close by, stop by for a few drinks. You won't be sorry.“
“Great little neighborhood bar with local and other taps, plus a good bourbon selection. I was there in my professional capacity so I didn't get to eat or imbibe but now that I know the place isn't just a three beer joint, I'll go back with my wife and in law group. Seems like one of those places that "everybody knows your name"... great looking, clean and cozy. Met the owner, who's a really great guy. I look forward to going back off duty.“
“This one is for the book, cocktail, and food lovers! Libro/Novel has easily become one of my favorite places to go! I've been for brunch, lunch, dinner, and happy hour! Basically, whatever they have to offer, I've tried it...twice! They have local good for purchase and it's a bookstore and restaurant, what more can you ask for. The service is always top tier, and the food is filling and flavorful. I can really just sit in there for hours listening to a little jazz, finding a friend at the bar and just admiring the atmosphere. I love to write so this place is a dream come true for me. If you haven't been I highly suggest trying them out. I've even included their happy hour for anyone interested.

“Was just there to listen to the band and can't remember the name of the band but they were really good. They're well known around Memphis. This is a really nice bar but you can't smoke inside any more. Their covered patio is the smoking area now“
“Got a Kyiv Mule, which is roughly an egg white Moscow mule. I think it's a great idea. Was kinda expecting a high ball Ramos gin fizz style but the coupe was fine. Dehydrated floating lime wedge garnish was a phenomenal idea for balancing any potential egg white off smells. Probably could benefit from a dry shake first and and double strain(it was a single wet shake with a single strain). Tasted great, except the foam n feel was less rich and more bubbly(via no dry shake), and there were ice chips(some people like this though). It was $13, tax included, plus tip. Little exp imo for no dry shake and 2x strain, but still cool and not worth me slapping only ⭐⭐⭐⭐ only to hurt a place's rating.Besides the drink critique, bartender was friendly and timely.It's kinda dark in there, and sometimes music a little loud for me, but you can't make everyone happy ?♂️ I'm lame.Anyway, def worth a visit, probably worth more than 1 ?“
“LOVE this place!! A foodie-friend recommended we try it and I'm hooked! The hospitality, food and drinks were all wonderful - but the desserts... their bread pudding was so well done! I cleaned my plate and ordered another to take home, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the great dining experience!“
“Me and my bestie came here 3 weeks ago (forgot to do my review) It was our first time there but the place was cool. The food was good. I had the sliders and she had the wings and it was delicious. Their drinks was good as well. I would recommend this place for folks that want to try something new.Parking: Their parking lot isn’t big so of course the spaces were filled. We weren’t able to park in their lot. We had to find a place on the street to park.“
“OMG YA”ll this Pineapple mango slushy drink amazing!!!!! THIS SH@@is GOOD AS HELL . Go get it one of the best drinks I have ever had . You will be highly satisfied very GOOOOD!!! I woke the next day wanting one but I had to leave. I forgot to take picture of the drink I was too drunk to remember to do that . Best vacation spent in Memphis!!! Please sell this drink in the stores you will make a fortune! You can sell it like pops in a package of 10.“
“This is a great place to hang out and catch a vibe. Drinks were 10 out of 10. I had a great time here with my honey and our family. I loved the ambiance. Thank you, Robert, for providing such exceptional service! You and your staff were phenomenal!“
“I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The atmosphere has a unique vibe that adds to the overall experience. The food carries a distinctive, signature taste, indicating the chef's passion for cooking. The drinks from the bar were excellent as well. While our waiter wasn't the best, I'm hopeful that with time, he'll improve. I would absolutely return, and I highly recommend giving this place a try.“
“Yes, this place is in a sketchy area! Nonetheless, I'm going to take a chance every time to get some of those catfish nuggets!!!! I have a good time every time I go!!! The drinks are on point, the music be jamming, and you are going to have fun. Give them a try!!!“
“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.“
“Sundays nights are slow, but nice. Chris the bartender knows what he's doing if you order a good whiskey sour(egg white). He's professional and quick. The charge "for a whiskey sour" was a little steep to be honest(a paper plane w an egg white), but it was tasty.“
“Stopped by to hear Princess sing! And she didn't disappoint!! She was our bus driver on a recent tour of Memphis. The bar was typical of the area, but with New Orleans style food which was delicious...it's cooked in a central kitchen that services a few of the honky tonk bars in a row. Very informal, paper goods, etc. All drinks are about the same on Beale Street...nothing special.....but hey, the music is great, and that's why I went there in the first place.“
“Love love love this spot!! The staff is always so good to us ..we come to Memphis about 4 times a year and we always stop by the orchid..we love mr tom the bartender and the security staff is so professional and always so polite to me and all my friends..highly recommend“
“Loved this place, but most impressive was the great service that Carlethia gave us. She was so pleasant and very very attentive. She checked on us frequently and was just so friendly and welcoming. Our food was great - a couple of us had the wet ribs and they were really good. Best mac n cheese that we'd had while we traveled from MN, to MO, to TX, to LA then in Memphis. And the music - awesome! Can't remember the name of the band but the lead singer had a great voice and all the musicians provided a wonderful groove. Interesting decor with all the guitars and stuff on the walls. Mostly though, kudos to Carlethia for doing such a great job!“
“We had a large group and were seated instantly. For appetizers we had the fried stuffed avocados which were really good. But the Cajun shrimp and beer bread was the highlight of this meal. The bread was grilled and just so delicious especially dipped in the juice the shrimp was sitting in. That app was 5+ stars. My entree was not so appealing. I ordered shrimp and grits the grits were flavorful, the shrimp was flavorful but there was so much grease/oil that rendered the meal unenjoyable. The atmosphere is great. There is live music, great design and the staff was incredible.“
