“Thank you Charlene and your team for a perfect rehearsal dinner! We were upstairs at The Landing and the vibe was amazing. The food was fresh, the presentation was beautiful, and the Georgia Blue staff was super friendly and professional. Charlene was wonderful to work with on planning this event. She made suggestions and then added little touches (candles, hummus for our vegetarian, etc.) to make the night super special. I appreciate everything Georgia Blue did to make this evening such a success.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 owner of the company just covered the few dollars I was short. I just started a new job and wasn't aware that I would be short the funds to simply buy a burger and fries. This is clear evidence of the type of people here and the amazing character you deal with here. I WILL be back, and will 100% double the tip!! THANK YOU!!“

“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“

“Went on a Saturday at lunch time and they were not busy. Staff was incredibly friendly and the food was great. The broccoli salad and the Olivia's chicken salad are amazing! The grape salad is delicious and the turkey club was really good too. We will be back!“

“The general condition of the restaurant was 6/10. They changed the seating area so that the seating was all against the windows. The middle was cleared as if it was a dance floor. Looks like it was an Applebee's. The restroom was passable it was clean. 6/10. Service was great! 10/10. As soon as I came in I was greeted warmly and friendly. I was the first one in. When I returned from the restroom there were several other patrons. I was bit apprehensive until the food came. Order the three wing dinner. It was fresh and tasty! 10/10. Overall because of the food and service. I would give this place a 7.5/10.“

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

“This is our third time dining at Delta’s kitchen. The food is incredible and the portions are awesome as is the service. Our new “go to” restaurant for all of our special occasions. It definitely is Memphis’ Best Kept Secret! Please don’t change a thing!“

“I ordered the pork chop dinner. They were absolutely delicious. I ordered yams and cabbage as sides with corn bread. Everything was delicious EXCEPT the cabbage! They were horrible. I had to throw them away. The service was great, restaurant was clean, wait time was reasonable. I will return but will not order the cabbage!“

“My food was actually not very good. The band that played at the soundstage came here to have after show guests. Only to find out that the bar closed at eleven..
And that the lobby bar had five hundred people in it, trying to get a drink.
We had good service one beer and we got kicked out.
Probably should figure out how to extend the hours for this location. Especially on the weekends.“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Aleska, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism and dedication.

“Our waitress lost my card and instead of them looking for it they asked for a different form of payment!! I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone! They don’t deserve any stars but I’ll give them 5 so y’all can see!“

“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“

“The sweetest people ever. Clean. Definitely recommend.“

“Excellent sweet wings. They are a mustard sauce and incredible. You get an entire wing. All three pieces. I heard the coleslaw and was disappointed. I figured it would be homemade but it's from GFS. Otherwise. Wings were mmmm mmmmm good“
