“Ate Ty's barbeque yesterday for lunch! Brother & friend had eaten there the day before & bought some to bring home to eat later. Wow! Ty's is the best! From all the rest! Great smoky flavor, no fat, good mix of some burnt ends with lean meat....so so good! Also potato salad was delicious too! Like my brother said, if he's driving by there, he's stopping in! You should too! Never disappoints!“

“Finally checked it out today after work! While I will always miss the beloved Tycoon restaurant and the Hwang family who ran the place, I am very happy with Mama's Kitchen. The hard working Mr. Jacob is a very kind man and an excellent cook!

I can't wait to come back and try the catfish since the young man I walked past when I left was so excited about it. He described the catfish as "bussin!" and after everything I just ate, I am inclined to fully believe him.

I got a bunch of different things for my family today to try out Mama's Kitchen. Here's our honest review:
Buffalo wings 8.5/10
Honey gold wings 8.5/10
Seasoned fries 9/10
Beef samoskas 9.5/10
Shawarma chicken combo 10/10
Service 11/10

Great place. Great people. Great food. We will be back for sure.

Try the shawarma chicken combo!“

The two sides were very generous. I had the potato salad and baked beans. The service was excellent and the folks were polite and friendly. I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“I contacted King of Kings BBQ to place a catering order. Both he and his wife personally delivered the food. Mr. James, after tasting the ribs that he had previously cooked and realizing they weren't up to standard, drove 1.5 hours to Oxford, MS, to bring me a whole new pan of ribs for my special occasion.“

“I always get a reg. Bbq & a double cheeseburger. Last night was no exception & it was the best burger I've had in a while - great taste & super hot & fresh.“

Review for Old Whitten Tavern

Food: The menu sticks to traditional country flavors. The hashbrowns were good, though I prefer a layer of crunch, and these were soft throughout. The eggs were cooked perfectly and came with cheese as I ordered. The biscuits were thin, flat, and basic in flavor, but the country gravy had a good texture with a simple, satisfying taste. The pancake was generously sized (about 10 inches across and 1/2 inch thick) with a soft and chewy texture, though it lacked much flavor on its own. Thankfully, the syrup complemented it well. Overall, the food gives off a "like grandma used to make" vibe, focusing on simplicity over bold flavors.

Service: The service was excellent. All the staff pitched in to check on me, ensuring I was taken care of. The friendliness added to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. However, the establishment automatically adds a 20% tip to each dine-in order, regardless of the service quality. While you can add more, it feels a bit rigid—good service should earn a good tip, not have it guaranteed.

Atmosphere: The country vibe is undeniable. The interior features dark ceilings, tables, and floors, with moderate lighting during the day that feels slightly dim but cozy. With one booth and about 17 tables inside, the spacing is comfortable without feeling crowded. The outside seating allows dogs, making it a good option for pet owners. The full bar and all-day breakfast menu add to its versatility, whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. However, with only one private bathroom per gender, the morning coffee rush could be challenging.

Summary: Old Whitten Tavern offers a solid country breakfast experience with traditional flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. While the food and service were good, the automatic 20% tip policy might not sit well with those who feel tipping should reflect service quality. Still, it’s a cozy spot worth visiting, especially if you’re seeking classic, no-frills breakfast options.

Parking: The parking lot is shared with multiple other businesses, so during heavy traffic times it could be tough to find a spot near the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: Though it has a full bar, it is very kid friendly. The bar area is smaller, opening up more to the dine in experience.“

“Extremely interactive..Great for dates or family outings. The food was extremely fresh and the restaurant was clean.“

“I bought a fundraiser gift certificate to Baby Jack’s Barbecue and decided to use it yesterday at Arlington when my family could all get together for dinner. I opted to order over the phone and pick the food up in Arlington. We got 2 pounds of beef brisket, and everyone in my family, even my grandchildren went on and on about it. Everything that we ordered was excellent except for the sweet potato casserole, because I think that sweet potato casserole should have lots of pecans in it. Other than that, everything was awesome, and I was happy that there were so many choices for side dishes. We have a new favorite restaurant!“

“A must try place. The food was absolutely delicious and between everybody at the table we sampled a lot of menu items. It’s run by a very friendly couple. It’s very clean and comfortable inside. Nothing fancy, but worth trying it.“

“Stopped in early Sunday morning before the crowds started. This was our first visit and Sam our waitress made it super easy on us. Absolutely love this place, great country atmosphere, fantastic food, and couldn’t have ask for a better waitress!! Ordered the catfish and chopped chicken. We will definitely be back in the near future.“

“My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant!“

“Nobody told me they have a brunch here on Sundays. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was a pleasant surprise. The service was good, the food was good, the drinks were good, the place was clean and it was a nice environment. I'll definitely go back.“

“My wife and I drove from Alabama to meet with my niece and her family for dim sum. First time here with new owners. The service was beyond great. The quality of the dim sum was the best. We definitely return!!“

“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!!!!“

“I was passing through on a road trip and this place caught my eye. Great food, great service, authentic TexMex food. As good as the TexMex we have in Texas, maybe better. Excellent fresh home made hot sauce with a kick. They also have a full service bar, but I was driving and could not partake. All in all, an excellent restaurant with a small town feel right in Memphis not too far off of I-40.“

“We tried Trudie’s last night and the food and service were excellent. Fresh hot catfish with flavorful crust! I agree with other reviews that it was some of the best around here. Sides were good and nice portion size. Tried the butteroll homemade dessert which was like a spiced bread pudding/cobbler. Unique and delicious. The owner can by and talked with us and ensured we had a good experience. We will definitely go back and looking forward to trying Sunday Brunch!“

“The food is absolutely ? amazing! But, the service is absolutely ? beyond horrible. I ordered and paid for my food 1 hr in advance and still had to wait another 45 minutes to get it when I arrived. The cashier was too busy eating and talking. Then, she had my order incorrect and didn't want to fix the issue. She finally did, in which took yet another 15 minutes.Again, the food is amazing! One of the best BBQ spots in Memphis, but they have to do better with customer service and time.“

“This place the food is good.I recommend it today was my 4th visit here and so the food is always delicious and authentic100% you won't regret itpresentation 10The food is good this is my 4time here always good.I really recommend this place to eat Honduran food...“
