“We went to dinner tonight for my stepson‘s birthday. One person ordered the Mojito Mocktail and another ordered the pear martini. Both said their drinks were tasty. We had the spinach queso dip as an appetizer, and that did not disappoint. My stepson ordered the prime rib and the stuffed baked potato. The prime rib must’ve been an inch thick! And the stuffed baked potato was ginormous. My husband ordered the baby back ribs. And they were cooked to perfection. They did not fall off the bone, thankfully. They had a nice bite. And the sauce was delicious. My mom had the Cajun trout. She said it was full of bones, unfortunately. The lighting was very dim in the restaurant and she couldn’t tell what she was eating. So she had to pack it up and bring it home. Although she did say what little fish she got to eat was tasty. The southern coleslaw was tasteless and a disappointment. I had the Ahi tuna salad. I asked for dressing on the side. When it came, there was a huge mound of lettuce. I did see the ahi and the big half of avocado on top of the lettuce. But about a third into my salad, I finally discovered wasabi, the wonton crisps, and the pickled ginger. It was not a good way to present the salad. At all. The ahi was prepared perfectly, and it tasted great with the dressing, ginger, avocado and wasabi. Just wished I discovered the latter sooner! The complementary birthday carrot cake was super moist and delicious. Overall, we had a great time at the restaurant.“

“Beginning of banana pudding!“

“The catfish was great. Tender, seasoned perfectly and hot. The sides were great also. Come see for yourself. Trudie’s will not treat you wrong!!!“

“This restaurant is a much needed addition to the Ridge Lake area! We work next door and walked over for lunch…what a pleasant surprise! So grateful to have a great new restaurant in the neighborhood! Ambiance and vibe are great, can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“During a visit to Memphis, I visited Seasons 52 and had little to no wait due to sitting at the bar. The food came out rather quickly and was seasoned to perfection. The service was great and the atmosphere was very inviting. I opted for the Salmon and Half-chicken on my second day. Neither dish disappointed and the prices were well within reason.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Conner is the best bar tender I’ve ever seen!!! He brought me fresh drinks in seconds and refilled them even before I'd finished. He asked me if I wanted something to drink within seconds of my arrival. Best service ever in a Huey's restaurant“

“Love Skimo’s! Best restaurant ever.“

“real good food & even better staff. always friendly & clean atmosphere 👌“

“Very friendly, love their breakfast. Free pie on Mondays . We go every time we are in the area.“

“First visit to this restaurant. I arrived around 4pm and was seated immediately. I had been told their lobster rolls were excellent, but since TN is a land locked state, they only have it frozen. I decided on their cheeseburger. I have 4 stars since it's center was more red than pink, cooked medium when I requested it prepared medium well to well done. I still ate it as is and enjoyed it. Fries were perfect. I will try going again sometime in the future.
Note: 1. My waitress was a trainee working with the regular waiter. Both were great. 2. I have been to many restaurants that have problems preparing burgers and steaks medium well, so was not very upset. I did NOT mention it to the waiter.“

“Stopped here on a whim after we discovered the original place we were going to eat at was closed. I’m so glad we stopped here. The food was absolutely amazing. Not one complaint about our food. Even our daughter was able to get a waffle here (gluten, dairy and egg allergens). Received 5 star service from Majaa.“

“It’s really sad that this location is the only location in Memphis and the service and the food is awful!! My Mom ordered a burger that looked like it was prepared the day before and partially heated to serve yesterday. I sent my order back because someone from the kitchen staff took my food to the wrong table and then tried to bring it to me. It’s apparent that their staff isn’t properly trained; they should know which table to deliver the correct order to. I’ve been patronizing Raffertys for years; however, yesterday was my last dining experience with them. I spoke with a manager; however, her facial expression said, I really don’t care.“

“Great asparagus soup and crème brulee. Love the Sunday specials.j“

“excellent pizza excellent service Cindy was great!!!!“

“My first time going and it was great I enjoyed the food and our waiter Dmin was very good and polite WILL BE BACK“

“My first time at the Poplar location. The staff members including the manager were so friendly and welcoming. The manager suggested that I taste the broccoli salad and it was so delicious that I ended up adding it to my meal. The restaurant was very clean and the food was very tasty. I will definitely go back there again if I am in the area. Kudos to the staff 💕“

“I've eaten here 2x. The service was excellent both times. Kenya was very nice and made my experience good. Will be returning!“

“This hotel is fantastic. The rooms are a good size with everything you need (iron, ironing board, TV, hairdryer etc…), and it is spotlessly clean with a friendly atmosphere. Recently renovated, the rooms and hotel spaces are contemporary, modern and fresh. Cody who works at the hotel is a real asset to the business, he truly went above & beyond to make our stay comfortable and provided us with the highest level of service and professionalism, something that is hard to find. He made us feel so welcome we have continued to come back. The hotel bar provides a good selection of food and drinks and the free secure parking is great. I highly recommend this hotel and it’s 5* service ?“
