“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!“

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!“

“We Ordered pick up for a family meal on our way home to Memphis from the beach. It was perfect. If we’d live closer we’d come all the time. It was packaged so carefully, everything present, everything neat and tidy. The girl working the to go station was so helpful and attentive.“

“The food was great! The customer service was top tier from the time Debra and I walked in, until we left. Especially, Alina our waitress!“

“I had the 3 meat sampler plate. Excellent! Top notch brisket. The sausage - oooo. They have a horse radish dipping sauce that is to die for. The Mac and cheese, full flavor but not a kid’s side. Service was also excellent. Jessica made us feel welcome. I’m a couple of hours drive away but will definitely return.“

“Friendly staff and good food. Manager is always coming around to ask how people are doing, but needs to work on cleanliness. Both times my wife and I were there tables near us were dirty and food was on the floor as well as ice cream too, and my wife and I eat an early lunch.“

“This is a cafeteria with so many selections from salads of all kinds like Caesar, krab, fruit, jello to huge entrees like fish, chicken quarters and strips to hamburger steak and liver to sides like corn, mashed potatoes, fried okra, greens, green beans and macaroni and cheese to desserts like peach cobbler, pecan, lemon chiffon and chocolate pies. You will not go home hungry. They have kids and senior prices. Senior prices are after 2p. For 19.99 you get an entree, 2 sides, a roll, dessert and a drink.
The customer service in the food line was good. The service at the table was great. Very pleasant and attentive. Readily checked on us and refilled our drinks.
This is an older restaurant but still well maintained. Clean.“

“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.“

“This food is so, so, so GREAT!!! The portion sizes are better than most. These folks are about to blow my food budget. I had to talk myself down from ordering from them on yesterday. The variety is everything! You can easily eat at this restaurant 7 days given the array of foods. I especially love the veggies. Well, I especially love the banana pudding [authentic, down-home style] like Muddear used to make back in the day. The entrees are exceptional. Did I mention the corn bread? Okay, order an extra loaf for snacking later- its that good and you better not dip it in gravy - oh, yeah. I think this place has soul food on lock. Easily. I sample the city eateries here and there but not anymore. I have found my spot. This food is the way to anyone's heart. The customer service is excellent. Very warm and friendly work team. I love the way they assist each other. Call-in orders are hot and ready at the time quoted. A++++ restaurant!!!“

“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.“

“My favorite Soul Food restaurant! They have great service and very efficient with ordering and processing and they remember they're customers. I always get the Kams Porchops. I hope they do more hot water cornbread. They did it as a substitute for the loaf. I want more.“

“The atmosphere at Georgia Blue is nothing short of amazing. The little short lady Jackie(GM) was phenomenal. She showed excellent customer service and helped wherever she was needed. She was all smiles and full of kindness. The bartender was very tentative and kind. -Eric Cash Southaven Kia-“

“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“
