“Best 'home cooking' in Olive Branch! Food is not over seasoned or undercooked.“

“Some of the best rice & burgers we have had!! We also ordered rib tips & catfish, sooo good! Fries are seasoned great as well! P.S. Don’t get the double burger 😅 the regular one is plenty 😂 couldn’t even finish all of it 😆“

“I ordered to go the bake chicken broccoli and cheese and potato casserole they only serve white meat the piece was so big and thick and dry the skin was salty.The sweet potato casserole had pecans and was very stringy.I will not order there any no more. I was disappointed“

“Stopped by Chicken Salad Chick in Olive Branch and tried the Bacon Cheddar Melt with the Fancy Nancy chicken salad — absolutely delicious! The sandwich was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of crunch from the bacon and creaminess from the chicken salad. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Definitely a great spot for a tasty lunch, and I’ll be back to try more flavors!“

“Absolutely phenomenal! Chicken Coop never misses. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection—crispy fried chicken, juicy tenders, and sides that taste like home. The service is fast and friendly, and the staff makes you feel like family every time you walk in. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or feeding a crowd, Chicken Coop delivers every single time. Highly recommend!“

“It's been a while ( years) since I visited O'Charley's due to poor food and service. But the last past 2 Sunday's we decided to go and go back and WOW, it's the O'Charley's Restaurant I know plus More!😋“

“This was my first time visiting and it will not be my last!! Excellent customer service and they made my birthday so special!!! ⭐️“

“I was a first timer and I'm always excited about supporting a black owned business and I told the cashier that but she wasn't friendly or talkative at all, the food was expensive (but what's not these days) but IT WAS SOOO GOOD! I will try once more and hopefully the owner reads this and will speak with cashier about her unfriendly, unconcerned customer service.“

“The food was DELICIOUS. I'm picky about meat but I absolutely love the lean brisket!!! Everything is so flavorful! The desserts, drinks.. It's all a 5 star, even down to the service. I had Alia and she was wonderful!! Also, I gotta brag on the super cute decor. From food to decor, it's bold ❤️“

“I loved this place. What really elevated the whole visit, though, was our server, Hayden l. Hayden was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time. He knew the menu inside out, offered spot-on recommendations without being pushy, checked in at just the right moments, and had this warm, personable energy that made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time. He cracked a few light jokes, remembered our preferences, and just brought such positive vibes to the table—it turned a good meal into an amazing one. Service like that is rare these days, and Hayden absolutely nailed it.
If you're in the Southaven area (or making the trip to Silo Square), do yourself a favor and hit up Belly Acres. Great food, cool atmosphere, and outstanding service from folks like Hayden make it a standout spot. 5 stars all the way—I'll definitely be back soon!“

“Our RV Club, The Rhythmic Rollers, had a luncheon there on March 12. The food was excellent! So much variety in meats and vegetables! The tables were easily moved so that we could sit in a group. We had a blast! The waitresses were spot on! The cooks are the best in Memphis! This is a great place with outstanding customer service!“

“I enjoyed the chicken salad. I had the basic chicken salad on a salad with ranch. It was good except for the cucumbers. They were really bitter. The pickle was excellent. Parking was insane. I had to park at Trader Joe's. I'll be back next time I want chicken salad and don't want to make it myself.“

“Today was a troubled day for me and I was in need of some mental health food. When I received and tasted my food, I knew I had the right place. Friendly welcome, fast food, tasty, hearty and comfort for my soul and belly. The ice water is definitely worth coming for. I would highly recommend this location!“

“Exceptional customer service- professional and friendly! Amazing chicken and family atmosphere 💕“

“Food and customer service was top tier . I say 10 out of 10“

“The place is beautiful it’s so much bigger on the inside than the outside. The staff was very welcoming and kind. My family and I enjoy their food so much I definitely recommend to those how haven’t tried it.“

“Katie’s Kitchen is the absolute best!! My family had an emergency and wasn’t able to travel as planned for Thanksgiving. I needed to come up with something for my little family to eat for turkey day. Katie’s Kitchen staff let me place a last minute order and really saved our Thanksgiving. I am forever grateful for how kind they are! The food is also always wonderful!“

“The food is amazing. Staff is friendly and helpful and have the most delicious holiday meals at a great price.“

“Great food, great price and great atmosphere. The food was so delicious I ordered another plate of food just because Kam's pork chops are delicious I had to get a separate order for later on and didn't need to because I was stuffed“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Willie Mae's in Memphis Tn, On August 31 2022, I was thoroughly impressed with the food . The chittlins reminded me of my mommas in Rosedale Mississippi. The cornbread was firm yet moist, the Collard greens were on the money ,just enough sweetness and pepper to create an awesome flavorprofile. The Macaroni and cheese was baked to perfection, just cheesy goodness. I don't do shout outs, but if I did Willie Mae's gets my vote!“

“From Cincinnati and it was our first time here. Brandon our waiter was excellent and the GM Jackie stopped by the table and greeted us and talked for a few minutes. She was great, loved the atmosphere. Drinks were very good and the food was great. Would definitely come again.“

“Ordered tilapia with green beans and corn. Tilapia was lightly spiced so you could taste the fish and a small bit of lemon. Green beans and corn were the right textures each, and the spice added on them gave them a nice boost in flavor, a bit 'richer' than plain green beans and corn. I definitely plan on returning“

“My husband and I love eating at Cracker Barrel. We ate their last night (Wednesday). And we had excellent service. All the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious as usual. We live in Millington. But we will always drive the extra miles to get there.Because we love the food, the staff, the atmosphere, we love Cracker Barrel! Sincerely Deborah Reich“
