“Why, I LOVE this place! Had been intending to go and finally did! Thus far have visited about 3 or 4 times, hooked!

“I ate there yesterday (first visit) and loved everything! I got the turkey and dressing, yams, and turnip greens. The portions were extremely generous, and the yams were especially delectable—like a dessert!

“Other than a massive coughing attack with the 3 adults and 3 month old baby we we t through, along with customers coughing behind us from a sauce that was poured and sizzled on our appetizer.

Our server’s name was Emily, and she was SO kind and super helpful as we had many questions about recommendations considering we are not from the area and were indecisive about food. She met every question with a smile and had great insight on the kind of food/drinks we would like, and everything tasted AMAZING! The hosts were also super nice! All around we had an amazing experience considering it is the holidays and customer service can be very stressful! We really appreciate the kindness!“

“Great service on Father’s Day. The brunch menu was okay, but limited options. The bread pudding is delicious! I will have to go back and try the dinner menu.“

“Review: Char Restaurant – Highland Street, Memphis | Rating: 4.5/5.0

Today, I’m sharing my experience at Char Restaurant, located on Highland Street in Memphis. This is a fine dining restaurant, and I chose it to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We made a reservation for two, and everything from the moment we arrived was smooth and welcoming.

We were seated promptly, and the atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, just as you’d expect from a fine dining establishment. The staff were courteous and professional. I don’t recall the name of our server, but he took excellent care of us throughout the evening.

🍽️ What We Ordered:
Fried Chicken (Main Course) – Served with vegetables and gravy, this dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the presentation was spot on.
Shrimp and Grits with French Fries – My friend ordered this and mentioned it was the best she’s ever had. The shrimp were well-cooked, and the grits were creamy and flavorful.
Blueberry Banana Pudding – This dessert was a delightful surprise. I had asked the server to bring it out as a birthday surprise, and he did so perfectly — bringing it out when she wasn’t looking, which made the moment even more special.
💬 Final Thoughts:
We had a wonderful time celebrating, and my friend truly enjoyed her special day. I really appreciate the hospitality and attention to detail shown by the Char team. The food, service, and ambiance all came together to create a memorable experience.

We’re definitely planning to return soon to explore more of the menu.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5.0

Thank you to the entire team at Char for making our evening so enjoyable!“

“great atmosphere, and delicious food...“

“The Bruschetta and Veal Piccata were excellent. Our service was great. A thoroughly enjoyable meal.“

“Three of us had a great lunch at Amerigo. The food was delicious & servings were generous. We had not been together in a while so it was great catching up where one could easily hear the conversation. Our waiter was personable and efficient. It was a lovely get together for old friends. Thank you.“

“I've enjoyed everything I've had from the menu but my favorites are the gyro bowl, feisty (spicy) feta dip, and the mint lemonade (which comes frozen and is so satisfying). My wife loves the salads and falafel. This is a locally-owned restaurant with great healthy options at a good price.“

“A wonderful experience. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves.“

“FAMILY THROUGH AND THROUGH!

We grabbed dinner here the other night and it was magnificent! THE Mike Garibaldi himself greeted us at the door and introduced us into the restaurant making some recommendations. While we had never been to this location, we’ve been going to Garibaldi’s for many decades.

We started with the pizza bread and you have to know that the bread was probably the softest I’ve ever eaten. I had the spaghetti dinner with meat sauce and Italian spinach on the side. The food was delicious! Hot and flavorful. We also got a cheese pizza that was good as well.

It was great being at a local restaurant owned and managed by one of the longstanding families in the city.“
