“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.“

“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.“

“So order some lamb chops from TrapFusion901 last night at the wine on the river and this is what they gave me for $30. They definitely holds up to their name. When I ordered they told me 25/30 minutes so I go back and start getting more wine while I wait. I went back in 25 minutes, I was about to ask this lady was my food ready but before I could, this older lady from the trap made a comment "why are all these people back her, it's just to much", so trap lady #2 asked me "what I needed" and I told her "I was trying to see if my food was ready". She said "not yet". In my mind I'm wondering how would she know and not know my name. She comes back 3 minutes later to ask me my name. I told her that she should have asked me thar before saying that my food wasn't ready and then I perceived to give her my name. After that she then tells me my food was sitting on the table upfront with trap lady #1. I responded to her that she had just told me it wasn't ready and that food had been sitting there prior to me walking up. So I go to trap lady #1 and got my food. When I opened it I was highly disappointed. The chops were cold and dry. They drowned them in bbq sauce, which I don't like. On top of that it was only 3 chops in there for $30. This is another BOB I don't recommend. If they needed $30 they should have just asked.“

“One of my coworkers suggested this place he wanted to try out, Southern Hands, for lunch. It's southern-style cooking, and that's an option I don't see a ton of even here in the south. So we swung by to try it out, and the food was fantastic!

The restaurant was in a strip, so I didn't expect much ambience, but there were pictures hung on the wall that gave the place a more homey and friendly atmosphere.

Ordering was quick at the counter, checkout was a tappity tap with the old debit chip card. Dominique took our order with a friendly smile. The crew behind the counter were fast and efficient yet obviously enjoyed working there, as there was muted banter back and forth while they worked.

Food was delivered to the table promptly. It comes in a take-out box, with silverware and a napkin. When you open the top, the first thing you spy is the cornbread. I love cornbread, and the cornbread we got was not too sweet, not too salty, moist and delicious. Under the cornbread was a foil sheet to keep your cornbread separate from the meal underneath, and to keep the food warm in case you were taking the food back to the office or home.

I had the meatloaf, with a side of mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas. I started with the meatloaf, as it was the main reason I was there. Meatloaf can be awesome or awful based on how it's cooked. As you can see from the picture, the meatloaf was landed in juice, with bell peppers and fresh tomato chunks added. It was definitely wet, and did not have a ketchup tophat to disguise flavor issues belowdecks. I don't prefer my meatloaf dry, crisp or with a ketchup cap. So for me, this meatloaf was just right. The tomatoes tasted fresh. the meatloaf had just the right seasoning.

The sides I chose worked to balance the wet of the meatloaf. The mashed potatoes were a bit dry, but I'd opted not to have gravy, because I wanted to taste the potatoes themselves, and gravy can hide a lot of taste issues. When I return I'll likely go for gravy, to see how they flavor it. The mashed potatoes held their own without it, but needed more wet and gravy would supply that. I couldn't tell if the black-eyed peas were fresh or canned. They were good, and if they were canned, I didn't notice; small chunks of bacon were added.

My coworkers chose the Fried Chicken and the Porkchop lunch specials. Their feedback was attested to by the bones they left. There wasn't any meat left on the fowl or the porker. One coworker commented that GOOD chicken doesn't require batter to add flavor, but the flavor is found in the meat, and this was true of the fried chicken. So, guess what I'm going to order on my next visit?

On our way out, I noticed that they also have a van and do catering.“

“The absolute best, and customer service is amazing“

“I've been visting rocking of memphis for about 2.5 years from then to now no problem clean fresh food and they treat u like family“

“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“

“Always good never disappointed when I come here

Vegetarian options: They do have non-meat options

Parking: Plenty of space

Kid-friendliness: Nothing for kids to do but a okay place to bring them“

“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“

“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!“

“Delta’s Kitchen absolutely delivered. We had dinner here during our Graceland stay, and the food was on point across the board.

I ordered the Chicken & Waffles, and it was a straight-up flavor bomb — crispy, juicy chicken with thick, golden waffles that soaked up the syrup perfectly.

My father-in-law and mom both tackled the Steakhouse Burgers, and those things were massive. Thick, meaty bacon strips stacked on top — honestly, the bacon alone could’ve been its own meal.

My wife ordered the Blackened Chicken Pasta, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy, seasoned well, pasta packed with flavor — she wiped the plate clean.

Even my mother-in-law got the Louisiana Redfish and seemed to enjoy it, which says a lot — she's the pickiest eater I know, and if she’s not complaining, it’s done right.

Portions were generous, everything came out hot, and the service stayed sharp. Highly recommend Delta’s if you’re at Graceland or just want quality Southern food with zero disappointment.“

“Big Myrts Wings & Things offer delicious meals while providing superb service.“

“This my second time going to this restaurant and I can actually say it's always clean & the staff is awesome here and I brought the cornbread only y'all when I say cooked to ur perfection omg I mean just what I said do sleep on these people, don't get me wrong I had the food before it was really good and seasoned right like Big Moma back in the kitchen...A+ in my book!!“

“EP’s Bar and Grill is one of the dining options if you're staying at The Guesthouse. We wife and I went there twice and were not disappointed. Both times we were able to get seated right away. The food was really good, especially for the price. I tried Presley’s Burger and the Buffalo Chicken flat bread and my wife tried the TCB chicken tenders and everything was great. The Buffalo Chicken flat bread is spicy, it didn’t bother me, but if you don’t like spicy food I would go with something else. The portion sizes are plenty to fill you up. For burgers, sandwiches, and flatbread pizzas expect to spend around $15-20.

They also have plenty of TV’s here if you’re a sports fan. Overall, we enjoyed this place and i’d recommend it if you’re staying at The Guesthouse.“

“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!😋“

“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!“

“Whewwww I've literally lived up the street from this spot my whole life and never been here. But I'm so glad I did! I got the fish and shrimp with fries with crack on top.Don't worry the crack isn't what you think. But it may be because I def couldn't get enough. Everything was made to order and it was hot and fresh!I will def be back“

“Good hot food, great price, and great environment.“

“We had been here once before and the food was good. This time the hushpuppies tasted old as if they had been reheated from the day(s) before. The slice of brisket came with a large amount of fat with less meat.
The servers acted as though they were being bothered as we made our selection of food. It is a cafeteria style restaurant and had been great service and food in the past.“

“come to Nashville please“
