“Home style cookin with great deserts. Occasionally live music and take home dishes as well.“

“My 2.5 year old and I went into this location today after an appointment she had at a local hospital. We live over an hour away and I haven’t had Gus’s in over 2 years. I was so excited to come. The service is very friendly. The food of course is excellent and super fresh! It was raining before we left so I went into the restroom to get my daughter ready to leave. She made the comment that the “toilet was really nice.” which I chuckled so told the staff about it as we were heading out. One of the employees, Lucas, let my daughter hug him at her own will unpromted and gave her a small bear he had attached to his phone. It made her day! If you’re deciding where you want to get some Cajun chicken, please go see them. The chicken is the best and the staff is very kind!“

“I had an excellent experience at the Southern breakfast kitchen. My husband and I decided to attend their grand opening. My understanding is that they opened at the top of the year, but this event served as an opportunity to introduce this new black owned business to the Bartlett community. The location is quite convenient (by Kroger on Kirby Whitten). We had ample parking selections, and we were seated once we got in. We were greeted by every server, all seemed friendly and ready to serve.

Inside, the atmosphere gives a family feel. There was a mix of couples in attendance, primarily skewing 40’s-50’s. My husband and I greatly appreciated the live jazz music, which added more upscale vibe to the overall experience. I also absolutely love that they had both a coffee bar and a standard bar. We did not try the hibachi, but that option was available as well.

It took about 30 minutes for us to receive our food and about 15 minutes for us to receive our drinks. we had the mango and orange mimosas and both were good (though I highly recommend the mango). We both got the omelettes (veggie and veggie + ham). It was an ample amount of food. I couldn’t even eat much of the hash browns because I was so full! For the price, we were both quite satisfied!

Our server was attentive and consistently checked on us. Our water classes were never empty. I appreciate this type of service.

We both agreed that we would be back, probably with family. I am hoping that this will become a staple in the Bartlett community.“

“Everything was delicious! We both had a special and all the tables we saw had delicious looking food. The service was great too“

“Went for the 1st time today and I will be back! Fantastic food, great prices, and friendly service! Looking for a great homecooked meal? Come see Ms . Jackie! Can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Our food was delicious…perfectly cooked to our satisfaction! Service was best of anywhere we’ve eaten! The ambience was very pleasant and we could not be more pleased! Five stars…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I have been a patient of *********************** for years. Every visit is *******************, friendly and thorough. The practice stays current on procedures and technologies for eye care. Everyone there is courteous and helpful. Somehow they always make the visit a pleasure.“

“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.“

“Had a great time while in Mempis“

“Good food, seemed like a long prep time for a 3pm drop in. We both liked the dressing and gravy. The chicken strips were good. The grilled catfish pretty good. Yams were good. French fries were just French fries. Extensive take out business. Got my belly full. Enjoy.

Parking: Too few parking sports for the number of businesses here.“

“I just love Chicken Salad Chick with all the selections, friendly service, and great atmosphere. I introduced CSC to my husband and he was so impressed that he got an extra scoop to go. I got the Jalapeño Holly and grape salad. It was such a fantastic combo. Big portions and full of flavor.“

“Seen this restaurant around town a few times, but decided to stop in this time and give it a try. Really nice sandwich and sides were great. Service & Staff was excellent

Vegetarian options: Numerous options on menu

Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious“

“Just left WRB with a HUGE togo order. Julie the manager on duty was definitely on the job!!! I had to ask her if she was the manager because the way she executed my order was phenomenal. I was so impressed with her that I had to tell her so. I will DEFINITELY be back as long as great people are at work!! I dont mind spending my hard earned money on great food and excellent service!!! I opened all of out boxes and had to stop and write a review BEFORE I ate. If you're thinking about going....JUST GO!!!!“

“Delicious and beautiful! The atmosphere is unique, elegant, and fun. They have a terrace but everything is located INSIDE so rain or shine, you can enjoy the feel of being outside without depending on the weather. We ordered drinks and the Cardi B that I had… amazing! Probably one of the best combinations of flavors I’ve tasted. We had the appetizer of crab fingers and the flavor was really good. We order the fried lobster tail with crab Mac and cheese as well as the fried chicken with greens and a corn bread pancake-like side. The wait was a little long but the food came out fresh and was sooo good! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to eat great food in a beautiful setting. This has easily become one of my new favorite places for date night, brunch with the girls, or even a lunch break with co-workers!“

“Piccadilly's was a family favorite for me growing up. It still hits the spot for me. I just went for takeout lunch and ordered the baked fish, greens, Mac n cheese, bread roll and custard pie. Everything tasted great, as I remembered from childhood. All the employees were super nice and helpful. Created a nice atmosphere. Everything was clean and orderly.“

“I haven't been to a CSC that was disappointing, and this location is no different. The facilities and parking lot are kept clean, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the food itself is fresh and delicious and CONSISTENT! I could order from three different locations at once in Memphis and not notice a difference in quality between them.Thank you for making a pregnant woman's life less stressful, CSC!

Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu isn't huge, but they have one“

“The food is expensive, but absolutely incredible. A single order can easily feed two people, and it's some of the best steak I've ever had. Definitely a great place for a significant celebration, like an anniversary or a birthday.“

“Yummy brunch menu . Great service !“

“This is probably my 4th or 5th different Gus location and it’s great. After a long day at the client office, some fried chicken is just what I needed and what better place than Gus’s. I always goto the 3 piece plate, and my choice of sides are cole slaw and potato salad. Hits the spot every time!“

“Great food highly recommend“

“Great food. It came really quick and was piping hot.“

“Excellent service. Delicious food!!!“

“I wish there was a 4.5! This was exactly what we wanted on a long car trip. A quick Togo meal (from a drive thru) that wasn’t burgers or the usual fast food fare. It was tasty, quick, surprisingly hot, and relatively inexpensive ($70 for 5 people). We had the fried fish, the meat loaf, the chicken tenders, chicken n dumplings, and a 4 veggie/sides plate. The spicy fried broccoli was different (in a good way). The drive thru clerk was super courteous and sweet. We were a little nervous b/c there weren’t many cars in the parking lot, but we were not disappointed. In fact, having said all that, I’m changing my review to a 5-star, b/c overall, Abbay’s should def be higher than 4.0. I wouldn’t say the food was AWESOME, but it was very solidly good. We’ll definitely be back if we’re passing through. Maybe someday we’ll see one in TX!“

“Excellent service. Delicious food!!!“

“Message me if u have any problems in your marriage or in your relationship and your problems will be solved in the next 24 hour“

“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!“

“Great experience at Woman’s Exchange of Memphis! Wonderful food in the Tea room and a nice gift shop combine to make this an excellent nonprofit that is here to empower women!Rev. Bailey is quite the chef, serving up flavorful and balanced southern cuisine in a relaxed and calm environment. Would recommend supporting this establishment!“

“Great food , great service“

“This is a sad thing when you have a person wait 6 minutes for cornbread and they come out burnt and half wrapped in foil. There were literally 6 or more people at work and I was the only person in that mane until the door Dasher came in and he had to wait also. These folks are really bad representations for the business and the culture let me make my own cornbread. Y'all black businesses shutting down because you got people working for you with nothing to lose. Find people who know if the business fails they fail also. I'm done with southern hands on Austin Pray and that's on Mary had a little lamb!“

“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!“

“The food was hot, well seasoned & plentiful. Staff was very friendly. No wait time. Facility was clean & spacious.“

“There was a line when I got there which is a good sign. The food was so good! Nice portion size, especially the cornbread. Nicely seasoned. Good customer service! Just a nice establishment.“
