“I normally love eating here. We’ve Ben eating here for years. We only had one problem this last Friday. My husband is lactose intolerant (absolutely NO milk sugars). We reminded the server but when the Cole Slaw came it had been made with milk. The reason this is so important is my husband gets extremely sick. Just be sure if you have dietary restrictions that the staff adheres to it.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Go there often and had the best bbq beef ribs. They were large and very meaty and were better than ever!! I also had the bbq wings and they were delicious. Staff very friendly also.“

“It’s was great! Good service and food!“

“Whenever I visit home, The Grille is always my first stop! There are just somethings that you can never get anywhere else, besides home! The southern hospitality, and the warmth and kindness that the staff show is always valued. Plus, the food is always consistently good. ?“

“My favorite place to eat when I’m in town Iv ate here all my life great memories wonderful food“

“I had a Brisket BBQ sandwich and these guys knocked it out of park. Initially I thought man these guys are expensive but, sandwich was amazing, the meat was piled on and delicious. 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.“

“My family and I decided to try this place on August 24, 2024. Luckily for me there wasn't a lot of people inside the building, so it was easy to ordered our foods. When we sat down in our seats I looked around the restaurant. The first thing I thought about was the seats we was sitting in. They looked a little outdated and probably need to be replaced. The table we have was a little wobbly and next to me was a sticking pad which had a lot of flies in them. When the food came out and when I started eating I forgot all about the issues with the seats and table. I decided to get the Loaded Philly Steak Potato and baked beans. The baked beans was pretty good probably needed something extra to make it outstanding. The Philly Steak Potato were just delicious. It simply steaks, peppers, and cheese but everything blended together well with the potato. I also have some of my grandparents fries and they were hot and delicious. When you get over how the restaurant looks inside and try the food you won't regret it.“

“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.“

“man, this food is so good. I ordered the Alfredo Stuffed Turkey Leg 🍗 🦵 after taking the first bite, I wanted to go back to the food truck and buy another!!! I definitely recommend Barbeque Off Da Chainz“

“The taco, shawarma, gyro spot on the other side of the fenced in food trucks is a 10/10 recommend checking it out.!!!“

“The rib tips were amazing! Service was great! And Adam was the nicest!“

“Amazing! Just passing through from Dallas to Ohio and had to stop by! First time and it was so good!“

“TLDR: Cozy, country-style spot with friendly service and traditional food. The automatic 20% tip might be a dealbreaker for some.

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.“

“I went there today to attend a seminar. After the seminar they served a lunch buffet that was wonderful. I've always been a big fan of Corey's BBQ and wasn't disappointed this time. The food was excellent and I left completely full and satisfied.“

“I recommend that they keep doing what they do. Satisfying the customers“

“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.“

“Hi I am the general manager whom this young lady is speaking on. I would like to first began by saying I am food safety certified and is very aware of cross contamination. I can't believe if this was the case why didn't you just say sir are you going to change your gloves? I am very professional and it is my desire to serve the public safe food. I am a little disturbed that someone would take a shoe tie this far. We always use tongs when handling food and change gloves regularly when handling raw food in the back kitchen. We have an A from the health department visit to the restaurant. Praises to God the restaurant is doing extremely well and present customers are very happy. Thanks!!“

“I ordered the cajun wet mild wing 5 piece combo with season fries with a lemonade no ice with blue cheese dressing. When i tell you this was best wings i had in a long time.The wings had a great flavor everything was hot even the fries were hot and crispy. I ordered a lemonade no ice but ended with a arnold palmer half sweet tea and half lemonade it was soooooooo good. Only problem i had was the blue cheese was spoil i hope you all dont get anyone sick i tried calling but i"ll leave my review here. Keep up the good work <3“

“Good wings great flavor the best in olive branch been buying them from him for years.“

“I cannot say enough g great things about this restaurant! From walk in to walk out, the experience is enjoyable every single time! Walking in, the stash gets you worth a hearty “Welcome to TCE”! If you are a first time guest or just happen to be unable to choose between all the deliciousness they have to offer, the staff will gladly assist with recommendations. I’ve been for breakfast and each time my omelet was cooked to perfection, my veggies sautéed just right and the breakfast potatoes are always amazing. The portions were just right. The staff always made sure everything is going well. After finishing our meal, the staff checked in with us again and big is farewell. 10 out of 10 stars!!!!“
