“Perfect portions, My sister and i had lunch on Friday and the food was excellent! Lunch fajitas & chicken soup 🤩“

“The drive thru associate Tiaya“

“In the morning the service is real good but after three in the afternoon they always getting things wrong the food most of the time is cold and taste old. They always in the afternoon got them young boys outside and sometimes there is young girls out there. Playing loud music and making there car make loud noises. And giving them free food and drinks I know it's free because they said it was. So in the afternoon I would not recommend no one to go to the Sonic and cutting the 99 cent drinks in the morning is not good.“

“It was nice to be around a Krystal's, it's been years. The only issue I had was we had a bigger order so the food had to be cooked so you would think the food would be hot but not the case. The buns were cold. I know it was closer to closing time but that shouldn't matter. After getting the food to the motel that was only like 2 blocks away we just put them in the microwave to heat them up. They were pretty good after they were warmed up.“

“This place was so nice after getting rude service at almost every place we went in Memphis. The staff was so friendly, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming and the food was delicious. I had the pineapple and chicken skewers with steamed veggies. Highly Recommended!“

“originally recieved the wrong order from doordash, but called the store to fix the problem they were extremely friendly and explained what happened. When i recieved my second order they not only fixed the problem but treated us with extra!! shoutout to the team that’s working today they definitely deserve their props !! 6/3/25 12-2pm“

“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.“

“Great service and food! I had the Buster Burger, husband had bone-in wings and onion rings. Everything was great. Nice size patty on the burger, cooked to perfection and very juicy. Wings were crispy and cooked just right. Prices were comparable to over restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back and we definitely recommend.“

“We ate at the poplar location with a very large group. Service was excellent. Food was great. They were extremely accommodating.“
