“I really enjoyed my breakfast & lunch FedEx. I wish yal could be with us permanently...THANKS SO MUCH“

“I went for lunch on a Wednesday. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server promptly attended the table. We ordered smoked salmon dip as an appetizer and it was ok. For entrees we had a salmon ceasar salad and prime rib. My business partner is new to the Memphis area nad he said it was the best prime rib he'd ever had. The salmon was also good as it eas grilled. I wasn't asked but the salmon was also well done so if you have a preference, probably need to let them know. As we left, the hostess held the door which is something I recall being done at previous visits. I would recommend to friends.“

“We had a great time! Jonathan was very helpful and gave us great service. We ate around 8pm, and enjoyed our food a lot. A minor note is that we wished there was a little more ice cream with the brownie, but that’s just a personal preference!

I also wanted to advise against ordering the raw oysters. While they smelled and tasted fine when we were having them, I experienced extreme vomiting around 4 hours later. I strongly advise not ordering them, though the rest of the service was great.“

“Beginning of banana pudding!“

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

“I think I came of the wrong night. Friday's was just too much for me. Nothing wrong with the place just too loud for me on a Friday. I mark down atmosphere because I can not longer shoot tooth picks into the ceiling. I truly miss that!“

“Outstanding food and service every single time.“

“After finally getting a chance to grab a bite to eat at this place I was blown away by how delicious everything was. My wife ordered their strawberry salad with chicken w/strawberry vinaigrette and she raved about how delicious it was. Best salad she has ever had. I went with the traditional angus burger with fries. It comes with a spicy mayo bacon jam bacon etc on a brioche bun that was soft and perfect for this absolutely amazing burger! It certainly moved into my top 5 burgers in Memphis. Cooked medium this sandwich exploded with flavor and was amazing. Even the fries fresh cut fried and seasoned were delicious. This place is great and can’t wait to go back for breakfast soon! Perch 74 well done!👏🏻“

“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!!!“

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

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

“Good food and fast service.“

“👎👎👎👎👎Love Huey’s and the family. But an hour wait at 5pm hour on a Sunday is tough. Called in at 5:08pm and was told 20-25 minutes on pick-up. Ok! Arrived at 5:30 and got order at 6:12. Lots of Door Dash and Uber Eats in and quick pick-up and out. Then my burgers were raw! 😡Sorry guys, to be negative. But thought you’d want to know.“

“Love Skimo’s! Best restaurant ever.“

“Enjoyed playing music here. Owner & staff are top shelf & very accommodating. Food was great, rarely had to ask for my water glass to be refilled on stage, & if I did it was on its way immediately. Couldn’t ask for better service or more professional people. Highly recommended!“

“I love coming into Newks and being greeted by the older gentleman at the front counter!! He is so bubbly and makes me feel like a valued customer. The soup is always hot, the salad & sandwiches are fresh and delicious, and it’s always a plus when you can earn rewards!!“

“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 ?“

“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 💕“

“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.“

“The BEST brunch in Memphis, hands down!“

“Always a good time with friends…new and old.“

“Fantastic eats every time!!!!“

“Delicious food! Thank me later!“

“Enjoyed the food. Carl was excellent with service.“

“Great experience for my first time!“

“Great experience the food was great!! The timing was great we were not rushed The onion rinds were so good!!! We both had the white fish mine was blackened I asked for the seasoning to not be too heavy I wanted to be able to taste the fish. Y husband had the fish with lemon pepper. He loved his meal also. The sides were excellent also the whole.meal was served at the perfect temperature, that is very important to me. I really want the hot food piping hot and our cold slaw was I cold just the perfect temperature!! Our waiter was Q and he did a great job. Thank you for s great experience once again !! Your food and service are always top notch! We try to get to see you often we live in Olive Branch so it is a drive but always worth the neffort!“

“The place was truly hopping on this Saturday morning, Feb. 14. All waitresses were clearly working their hardest to keep customers happy and the food delivered in s timely manner.
I left for the bathroom thinking it would be at least 10 min before our food would be ready. According to my hubby, it came just after I departed. A few minutes after I returned, the manager handed me a nice hot replacement plate of food. How thoughtful!
I had fresh fruit crepes with eggs, bacon, &hash browns, my husband the sirloin tip breakfast combo. I had this same choice at another Ihop where the fresh fruit was a few pieces of strawberries. This time it had blueberries and strawberries in plentiful supply.“

“This place is like the show Cheers!! Everyone knows everyone and all so very kind! ☺️ It’s more than just getting out to grab some great food…it’s the atmosphere and family feels you get every time you go. I’ve been coming to East End a few years now and highly recommend giving it a try!!“

“Never thought about Honey Baked Ham being anything other than a seasonal business and I was wrong. Quite the place to go to for sandwiches and quite a few other items. Lots of stuff to make or spice up a meal. Seating for about 20 people and rather quiet on the dine in, seems like it was one person right after another for take out. Nice job lace to just chill and watch Stage Road go by. Enjoy.“

“Yes this is a shopping center that has the world famous Huey Burger, in Cordova Tennessee. Huey's has been around forever this is the second location. The owner of Huey's played drums in the box tops. Their Madison Burger is to die for. Bacon mushrooms lettuce tomato. The burger is so big I had to cut it and have just so I could eat it. I would suggest bringing your own water, a soda in here is 3.50 . I like the fact that you can see every single sporting event going on at the same time.“

“Mostly laid back. Perfect for a first date with pool and live kareoke. Mixed crowd and all music types so it's drama free. Recommend for all adults looking to wind down after a long days work before going to bed type shii. Open 7 days a week, closes at 3a. Come on down and join me on an adventure to enjoy a subtle but nice night out with friends, dates, and pool players. 🤘🤘🤘“

“Staff was super friendly and did a great job! Especially the new girl. Highly recommend this place for a great burger.“

“Stopped in on a whim and now one of my faves. Sausage & cheese tray was great, the Bronze Salmon fillet entree and the Bronze Salmon salad were both excellent. Our server, Anna Grace, was on her game and provided excellent service. I highly recommend eating at Brendalay!!!“

“Honey, baked Ham is simply the best! It does cost more than the others but there's nothing else like it. Even when I have have not thought to reserve a ham, they usually seem to have one I can get. Always makes for a very special occasion for our family and they count on it. Being a honey baked ham! The people are real nice and the stores very conveniently located right on the corner of the shopping strip.“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“My granddaughter and a few couples went to this Waffle House after a Valentines Dance on 2-5-2023. The waiter was rude and got up in their faces. They waited 30 minutes and what was delivered was appalling. Her date ordered a waffle and all he got was a drink with debri in it and it was dirty. And, when waitress handed it to him, she got up in his face and said here's your order. I don't know who the manager is but he should be fired. There is no reason to treat people like this.“

“Great food, the sauce is delicious and I wish it could be sold in the store.“
