“Once again the salmon entree was unique and delicious!! My dining companions so enjoyed the lamb special! I LOVE the French 75 on the cocktails menu; that's a wonderfully and (maybe slightly) different spin on a French 75. My Napa Salad was exactly what I wanted, and the evening's creme brulee special was the perfect way to end a superb dining experience!”
“Gia was phenomenal. We dined with her on Easter and the experience was beyond enjoyable! She was knowledgeable about the menu, extremely personable, and just a joy to be around. Great service! Will request her the next time we dine in. Food is always excellent and prepared to our liking.”
“Great food. Lamar was incredible. Beautiful evening……until….. a floor manager reprimanded an employee in front of our table. Absolutely inexcusable. Management 101. Corrective action is not in the presence of staff or patrons.”
“Great service (thanks Theo!), GREAT food, great ambiance, and great music. Even the manager was great by telling us the brand name and style of their bar tumblers. ?”
“This was our family's first time at Bog and Barley and it did not disappoint. I had the Ruben and it was Great. One fun thing you can do is if you order a Guinness they have a laser printer that prints different messages or designs on the foam of the beer.”

“Had an amazing dinner here with family for my birthday. Mint Tea was delightful. We tried many dishes, none of which disappointed. Loved the housemade vegan bread. ? My least favorite thing was the cucumbers but they were still fresh and refreshing. Chicken, beef and Kefta Tagines were all excellent. Appetizers were all excellent. The depth of flavor they were able to achieve in the dishes was something special. Thank you for tantalizing my taste buds. Our server, Elias, was a true, rare gem. The friendliness, professionalism, and inviting nature of him was extraordinary. And the joy that he exudes is a rarity today. Best server I have had in YEARS! We live hours away buy what a treat! I hope Andalusia sticks around so we can come back and enjoy it again.”
“The burger with Parmesan fries is really good and is more food than one could eat. The chicken wrap and side salad is good too. Our server, Chris, was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely return when we are in Memphis.”

“We were in town visiting Memphis for the first time, Easter weekend. Due to the holiday and some places being closed on Sundays, I wanted to ensure that we secured dinner reservations for Easter. I did research & found Flight. The menu was intriguing & decided to make a reservation for a "fancier" night out. To say we loved Flight is an understatement. Walking in the door, we were greeted with friendly hostesses. The waitress was fantastic, explaining their menu to us. She was super attentive throughout the whole meal. The wine flight selections were great- and reasonably priced. The fish flight was incredible, as was the wild boar and elk that we also ordered. The ocean flight appetizer was delicious- crab cake, lobster ravioli, and shrimp. The soup flight was enough reason to visit Memphis again. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice night out, date or with friends. it is a great date spot but also awesome overall. The front patio overlooks the cute street (with trolley tracks) and overall cozy and trendy. When I am back in memphis, i will be back at Flight!Parking: free valet”

“Friends and I enjoyed lunch at India Palace. We ordered from the menu. All the servers were so nice and accommodating. We really liked the aloo tikki appetizer. We ordered the non vegetarian dinner. The tikka masala was excellent. They knew we really liked it and they even gave us some to take home! So sweet ?Vegetarian options: Lots of optionsParking: Free parking lot”
“I had the cookout burger with sweet potato tots. The burger was juicy and delicious ?. I'm currently trying to convert to Vegan and this experience has put a plus in the pro column.”

“Everything you have heard is correct. Make sure you get the home fries and cinnamon roll pancakes. Oh and bring an appetite. Stop looking around and reading reviews and just eat here already. Pro-tip: join the waitlist before you get there.”

“Yall when I tell you this is the best vegan spot in Memphis, it is. The staff is super cool and the food is so delicious. I would post photos but everything got devoured lol. I am so full and pleasant right now. Shout out to Sun of a Vegan. Good food and great service. If you’re vegan or want to try vegan options, look no further. What are you waiting on. Swing by Sun of a Vegan TODAY!!!”
“Orale is a small Mexican/Bakery spot. The prices are more than fair for what you receive. I think the most expensive thing in the menu is 13.99 or 14.99. My wife and I live close by, and it is one of our go to places. The baked goods we get are about $1.50, so we go home with a couple of those after we eat. Currently, my favorite thing to order is the barbacoa tacos, which are insanely good. My favorite baked goods is the molasses (I think) cookie shaped like a pig.Everyone we have brought has loved it, and we never wait too long to eat. They owners (or staff) are very nice and always serve with a smile.Seriously, I feel like I've been to 100 Mexican food places in Memphis, and this is one of the best.Two things to know: not a lot of parking and I don't believe there are fountain sodas (only the glass bottle kind).Parking: Not hard to find parking, there's just not a lot of parking.Kid-friendliness: No problem for kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”
“I'm leaving this review because I love International wings food Customers service this is my 4 time coming the Season wings are really good please try them out y'all want be disappointed the young ladies were amazing Thanks again God ”
“I recently dined at The Lobbyist It left my taste buds in awe. The menu featured a creative fusion of flavors and unexpected pairings, showcasing the chef’s culinary prowess. From molecular gastronomy techniques to inventive presentations, each dish was a delightful journey for the senses. The attention to detail and commitment to pushing culinary boundaries made for a truly memorable dining experience. While the prices reflected the avant-garde nature of the cuisine, the overall adventure was well worth it for anyone seeking a unique and indulgent gastronomic adventure.”
“Our server got off to a bumpy start, but later got better. The food was excellent, and the ambiance is great. Overall, this is an excellent choice for a date, or a night out with friends. The piano was an added bonus!”
“One of the better experiences I've had in a while. I've grown pretty tired of seeing menus with things like mashed potatoes with gochujang, or croque madams with chili crispy on top...so I was happy to see western flavors in dumplings, etc.Cocktails were amazing. Great flavors, well balanced. Their take on an old fashioned with pandan really stood out.As for the food, didn't try any noodles, but everything else we had was very satisfying.”

“Great food, good location, nice atmosphere. The music is great - but generally too loud to carry on a conversation (so it's not ideal for a date if there's a band playing. Check ahead). Probably my favorite place to eat in Overton Square.”
“20 year customer herePrefer the bar areaFood always good and consistentLove the prime rib and big saladsFrench Dip ,burgers, carrot cakeMenu has shrunk over the years which is my only gripe ,needs more appys”
“We stopped in for dinner after a less than stellar meal at another restaurant. First, the menu is incredible and executed to perfection, with care and discipline. Second, Marvin is a professional-class server; he treats every table as if it were his only one. Third, the front desk manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome on our celebration evening. If you've read Guidara's 'Unreasonable Hospitality' and wondered where to find it in Memphis, it's here.”
“where do I start? ?the service is chefs kiss ?- I’ve always had amazing servers who try to make our experience special.✨I could write a love song aboutthe wedge salad. I get it every time.✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet.✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like.my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free”
“The food was fantastic. Expertly prepared sea bass and the beurre blanc was light and perfectly balanced. Our server was so attentive and friendly. Loved every moment of this dining experience.”

“We went here on a Tuesday night to celebrate my sister's 37th birthday and the food and staff were 10/10. Very attentive and accommodating. This place is nice and not cheap.”
“if you go anywhere in memphis, make it knifebird. our group came in expecting to snack, but we ate every last thing that came to our table. from the friendly staff, to the wine flights, to the charcuterie boards, to the dessert - it was all so so so good! 20/10 this place is a must-visit!!”

“The Getaway is a Laid back chill spot you can watch the game on one of many flat-screens, it's a pool hall so plenty smoke such as cigarettes, vapes and cigars.. The food was good and they do serve beer, clubtails and coolers... If your in the Perkins/Winchester area stop by and check it out..”
“My recent visit to Dixie Queen was a delightful experience that centered around a classic favorite. The restaurant's laid-back and friendly atmosphere set the perfect stage for a satisfying meal. I enjoyed a cheeseburger, and it was a delicious treat with a perfectly grilled patty, melted cheese, and all the fixings. Dixie Queen's commitment to delivering a quality and classic cheeseburger was evident in every bite. The friendly service and the relaxed ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a cheeseburger enthusiast or simply seeking a taste of American comfort food, Dixie Queen is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!”
“Amazing staff! They were patient and delivered exceptional food for hundreds of customers yesterday...6/25/2023. Memphis experienced a blackout in that part of town after a severe thunderstorm, and they still were there to serve us food. Thank you so much! Keep up the great work !”
“A big "Thankyou" and a "Hello" to Blake from Keith & Beverly (Scotland). Our phone was dying and our "pick up Driver" had gone partying leaving us stranded after visiting Graceland. He arranged us a "safe Cab" and we returned to our Memphis Hotel no bother. Should be made "Employee of the Month" !”
“I’m overwhelmed with joy! I came through the drive through on a Monday after. Ashley,( the customer service rep.) took my order and greeted me soooo politely! She confirmed my order and had the most pleasant attitude(which is rare at Dixie Queen). The food is always good , but in regards to cust. service, they need Ashley at every location!”
“Best burgers ever. Long wait most of the time but worth it. Lime and pineapple freeze are bomb! Fries are terrible but all else makes up for it. Friendly staff. Wings and Philly steak are good too. Been eating here since I was a kid and has been consistent always.”
“They are improving! Not long ago the service was slow and left little to be desired. But now it seems they have a good crew working and it has turned around. Good job!!”
“Best fast food around. Unfortunately, the order was wrong. The young lady was more invested in her phone than in her service. She was friendly enough but not paying attention to her job.”
“I travel alot so my breakfast is is very important to me, I always visit Wafers house the food is great and not expensive at all.. this one in particular was amazing all employees were taking care of business and very polite I was was served and table touch (Waitress check up on me) will definitely stop by again. GREAT JOB.”
“Not much to say about this IHop. They are pretty much all the same. The food wasn't bad but it was almost cold. The restaurant was clean. The sever whose name is Abby was a sweetheart. Very friendly and helpful. She was the only server that day and she did a very good job. Also they do have a lot of food options. We would go here again. And it was easy to find.”
“First time trying this location. Food was actually good. Only thing annoying was the young lady at the window kept talking to us,constantly asking questions early in A.M.”
“Me and my husband love this location at 2,3 or 4 am. The Indian girls always so nice and attentive even tho they have a lot of doordash or uber eats they always take care of us and i just move in getwell so perfect ❤️”
“Best Waffle House in Memphs. Most cities have some of the nastiest waffles house. This one is not the waffles where perfectly cooked with chocolate chip and peanut chip”
“The speaker box is messed up at the drive thru and the menu there is busted out. Informed there was no soda at the drive thru. Honestly, if they had posted a sign saying that before I got stuck in between cars I wouldn’t have got in line.”
“Very welcoming Kayla was amazing she welcomed us with a great big smile and was very professional we are from Canada and enjoy the hospitality. Kayla was very efficient and she made sure we had everything we needed we felt like we were welcomed in your establishment. If ever you are on union St be sure to stop by and ask for Kayla I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. The food was amazing the service impeccable very clean and great conversation. THANK YOU KAYLA You made our day ?”
“This having been our first time eating here, we seriously underestimated the amount of food we were going to get. The menu had so many delicious sounding items that we ordered several dishes. The portion sizes are huge! The only thing not huge was the mini Vegi Eggrolls, because they are supposed to be tiny, adorable little snacks of fried goodness and they succeeded in that goal. That being said, it was still a good sized Appetizer portion. The Tofu on a Stick was unlike any other Tofu Appetizer we have ever had. It is Tofu wrapped in Noodles, fried, and served with a dipping sauce. So fancy, crunchy, and so delicious! The Vietnamese Pancake was HUGE, fluffy, and filled with delightful chunks of Tofu and Veggies. They bring you Lettuce, Mint, and Cilantro to wrap around the Eggrolls and Pancake, which really adds a lovely contrast of flavors, textures, and freshness. The Asparagus and Mushrooms were cooked perfectly and in a delicious sauce. The Vermicelli and Tofu had a Curry Sauce, Veggies, and Peanuts. It was also amazing. Every dish was perfectly cooked and the flavors beautifully balanced. The server was a bit off standish at first, but she warmed up as things went along. She gave us excellent recommendations and brought the food to us very quickly. It is a small place, so we were glad we went between busy hours, as we can see it filling up quickly. The entire back side of the menu is Vegetarian! It was so refreshing to have choices. We loved every single dish we got and look forward to trying everything on the Vegetarian menu in the future.Vegetarian options: The entire back of the menu is Vegetarian. It is filled with a lovely variety of dishes. They really know their food well and can answer questions without having to ask someone else or guess, which is a very rare find.Dietary restrictions: They know the ingredients in every dish and were able to answer questions easily to help me avoid my food allergies.”
“Here because my friend Blake is terrible and someone needs to correct her terrible review. David was a vision, and David's drinks were a vision. In our time there we laughed, we cried laughing, and we drank some dranks. Through it all, we had our tour guide David holding our hands and our hearts. We were not easy - David did not ask this of us. Instead he gave us hope, faith, fire, and beautiful drinks. 10 out of 10 would go back and see my new best friend David - hopefully without that B word Blake.”

“This place is wonderful! Great vibes and friendly, helpful service. The food is amazing! ? The spinach dip is out of this world. The combo with chicken drumsticks has so many sides and they are all so good. I was surprised how much I liked the cole slaw! ? Please try them all.Vegetarian options: All vegan!”
“The owner was very friendly and attentive. The burger and the seasoned fries were next level good. And their white honey (no sugar added) fresh squeezed lemonade is a must-try. Will be back next time I’m in Memphis!”
“Gus' chicken is soooh good? You wont be disappointed. The mac n cheese and fried ocra is ? Limited free parking in front of building. However, on the side of the building there is pay parking.Parking: Limited street parking.”
“Best breakfast I had in Memphis. Those biscuits were top notch. I had the Rooster and Bologna breakfast sandwiches and they were fantastic. I would go back to Memphis just for those. It's a must try breakfast place.”
“I have been coming here for years and LOVE this restaurant. Authentic food and the family here is so sweet. Definitely a hidden jewel here in Memphis. I always come eat here when I come to town!”
“This place is amazing! I go once every two weeks and everytime it’s a hit! The customer service is awesome during the day and night. They give good service all day! & the chicken is the best in the city!!!! Literally ?”
“We got there late in the day on a Sunday, so there wasn't much of a selection. I was craving pie and the only flavor they had left was pecan. But dang if that wasn't the best pecan pie I ever had. The service by the young man at the counter was really good, too. Hope this place is in business for a long time. Will definitely be stopping by this place again the next time I am in Memphis.”
“really enjoyed the rigatoni (we both got a version of it) and the staff was nice and sauce flavorful. little pricey especially the buffalo mozzarella for the portion you get, but it was still good.”
“It’s always bittersweet when you find an amazing restaurant while on a road trip. On one hand, you’re happy to have had the great experience, but on the other you’re sad because you don’t know when (if ever) you’ll be able to come back. I loved everything about our stop at Elwood’s Shack. The food was phenomenal, the service was great, and the locals were friendly. What an incredible place!”
“A good place for ice cream, we didn't order the Boba Tea. The ice cream is made in house.No cash is accepted. Hand scooped and soft serve ice cream.Many choices for a treat for you and those you love”
“Super chill brewery with a wide selection of beers on tap. Even though it’s a brewery, the food here is out of this world. I’ve loved every appetizer and burger I’ve tried. The cheese curds are buttery and taste better than I’ve had in Wisconsin. Also recommend the hush puppies, pork belly appetizer, burgers and fries.”

“Eva Claire is midtown magic! She works as the cashier and her love of Memphis is contagious. We stopped here to snag some sourdough bread, which she sliced for us. The atmosphere was quirky and cluttered yet charming in its own way.”
“This place is absolutely incredible. Service is great, fast, friendly. Their recommendations are amazing if you’re indecisive. Best French toast and scrambled eggs I’ve ever had and my boyfriend got an omelette that was unbelievably good. Better than any well known tourist spot in downtown Memphis. Worth the trip out! Will be back here again to eat next time we come into town. We live 3.5 hours away, and might have to come back sooner than planned to!”
“The BEST Brunch in the City!! My husband and I were first timers and will DEFINITELY be back!! There was a short wait but we didn’t mind at all after receiving such incredible hospitality from Ms. Jennifer. She truly made us feel right at home! The food was incredible and the staff was amazing and tentative! I HIGHLY recommend!!!♥️”

“A must stop on the drive from Dallas to Cincinnati! Terri provides amazing service, fantastic dry rub ribs and great local brews. Oh and make sure to bring home some Corky’s dry rub for your bbq ?”
“The food was delicious and cook perfectly the last visit (potatoes & meat was undercooked last 2 visits) I love the pineapple ? ginger drink! I will visit again.”
“Came here for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Perfect atmosphere for a special evening. We ordered the lobster bisque, lobster ravioli, tirmasu, boscaiola-shrimp and burrata. Would recommend ?”
“The drinks and employees are always wonderful! Just would like to see a trash can for customers, since employees aren't allowed to throw away our used cups.”
“When I tell you I drive pass this place everyday so looking for something good for my money to feed 2 people so I came across this place on the internet so I tell you it's 25$ dollars it's so good and they have a sauce bar it's really good I was surprised and it fed us I'm glad I went there it's in Whitehaven and we love Mexican so that hit the spot Perfectly service was fast and quick ambiance was very clean and inviting thanks again for the amazing food”
“This is way overdue…Our family has enjoyed Panda Garden for 20+ years. The food is very good and consistent, even with takeout. The owners and staff have always been incredibly kind, even when the kids were young and kinda messy. Anytime I’ve requested modifications for dietary restrictions, they are kind, willing, and do their best to accommodate. Thank you Panda Garden!”
“I was told this was the best BBQ in Memphis. We arrived right as they opened on a Monday morning, so I can understand that certain meats weren't available yet-although they should stay on top of it. I had the pulled pork nachos, and I should have asked for light sauce, as it was overwhelmed with BBQ and nacho cheese. The meat was unbelievably tender and delicious. Even though it was from the night before, it had a smokey flavor with spices I assume are secret. My husband had fresh ribs that fell right off the bone.The atmosphere is very family oriented. I can tell they have a lot of loyal regulars and a decent nightlife with pool tournaments. The guys who served us showed us that souther hospitality we tourists always hear about.Don't let the building fool ya. Some places, like Rendezvous, are geared towards tourists with bright lights and loud decor. When a great BBQer is a master of their craft, they focus more on the food and less on the building.Overall, sauce was too sweet, but the meat was top-notch. Service was awesome, and the atmosphere had a lived-in feel.”
“I’ve basically tried plethora of Island cuisines around the Mid South but this one stands alone. Flavorful, authentic will definitely make you want to go for more.”
“We are from Mobile Alabama and we’re in town for our Corporate Summit for Lenny’s Grill & Subs and wanted to grab a quick lunch before hitting the road. We drove past the Smackers location Hwy 64 and decided to give it a try. We had never heard of Smackers, much less eaten at one. Walking in was impressive, the store was clean and well decorated! The staff was extremely helpful in our decision making and clearly knew their brand well! We had a seat and spoke to a few locals who sang the praises. Shortly we received our order and man were those praises validated! If I’m ever in the area again I will make it a priority to stop back in!! Thank you for a great experience!”
“The owner of this location hires quality people. The staff will learn your name if you are a repeat customer, what you like and youre always greeted with a few hellos and smiles! I enjoy this location because of them and the smoothies. ”
“For the hungry and want it fast crowd this place will do the job. Mostly Chinese dishes with some American thrown in. Most of their business is take out but they have seating for 32. We showed up about 1 ish and we were the only ones eating in but saw a steady stream of phone in orders being picked up. My partner got the chicken fried rice and I agreed with her it should have had more chicken in it. I selected the steak and shrimp sub and the meat was ground up, not hamburger but certainly not sirloin. Few shrimp in it. On the edge of Tiger Town for what it is, it’s not bad.Parking: Lots of roomWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room in the dining area. Restrooms are ADA compliant”
“Best Chinese Food Ever.I will eat here forever.Go and see for yourself; you won't regret it.Vegetarian options: They have pictures.Dietary restrictions: Ask the cashier.Parking: There's enough parking.Kid-friendliness: They even have their kids there so, yes, kids would love it.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Breakfast buffet was fantastic, they will make you custom omelets, a wide variety of items, I went Monday morning before my tour of graceland, believe me you need nourishment before the tour a lot of walking. I'm glad I did.”
“We visit this smoothie king a couple times a week even though we have one closer to my home because the employees are so very nice and polite. I wish I knew the name of the guys that usually takes my order.”
“I just love Chicken Salad Chick with all the selections, friendly service, and great atmosphere. I introduced CSC to my husband and he was so impressed that he got an extra scoop to go. I got the Jalapeño Holly and grape salad. It was such a fantastic combo. Big portions and full of flavor.”

“My friend introduced me to this place last week for lunch. Really enjoyed my ramen noodles along with my first bubble tea. I would most definitely come back! ? ?”
“This was my second time here, and I had another great dining experience here. It was my friend's birthday. Our server was nice, attentive, and helpful. She took really good care of us. I got the roasted chicken breast with risotto. We got the table Lobster Mac and Cheese, the creamed spinach with cheese and the parmesean fries they all was delicious. We had a nice evening. I'm looking forward to coming back.”

I got the roasted chicken breast with risotto. We got the table Lobster Mac and Cheese, the creamed spinach with cheese and the parmesean fries they all was delicious. We had a nice evening. I'm looking forward to coming back.”
“Chopped salad was crisp and delicious. Loaded baked potato, mushrooms were out of this world. Filets we cooked to perfect. Service was on point with no issues. Great time..”
“Had a great birthday experienced, service was top notch, all the food, sweets and the palate cleansing in between courses are all delicious. We saw the chef in the kitchen which was a highlight of our dinner as well. We are local so will be back for sure.”
“Enjoyed my meal in the bar. Enjoyed listening to a wonderful piano player. The service was spot on and my food was excellent. Met some lovely ladies and enjoyed myself very much.Parking: Unless you want to pay the park get there early”
“Ben is a great server, and I apologize for my tardiness for this review.The food was great. I ordered the Dover Sole Meuniere, and it did not disappoint.I was so deep into my dish that I did not remember what I my wife ordered, but I do remember that she had an after dinner drink while I chose the Brandy Alexander. We were both very satisfied.Please stop by if you're in the area and feel impressed with their menu.”
“Food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. First time here, and everything was perfect. The manager came out to greet us and ask us about the food and the service. Very nice place.”
“We flew in from Michigan just for Dory and this is without a doubt a culinary experience you won’t regret. From start to finish this entire meal beat our expectations. Chef Krog took his time to come by our table a talk worn us during closing. Attention to detail is second to none.”
“I celebrated my 33rd birthday and everything was great! I enjoyed the whole experience, the vibe was on point. Love the decor and music. The food and drinks, delicious! Would highly recommend ?”
“The drinks were great and the ambience was very nice. No wait staff so all drink orders had to be placed at the bar with only one bartender working . Luckily it wasn't too much of a wait. We only had drinks, no food. My husband was very pleased with the Manhattans. I had a lemon drop and a Rubber Ducky Cocktail. The rubber ducky was made with Malibu rim, creme de banana, pineapple juice, orange juice and a cute little floating rubber ducky.”
“The Best Christmas Present Was Being Blessed With Knoledge Of Them Being Open Every Monday For Slices And Mini Pie Etc, Beautifully Spirited People You Truly Taste The Love In The Food. I Have Never Experienced As Much Consistency With Quality Desserts As I Have With GD, I Would Highly Recommend The Red Velvet, Carmel,Strawberry,And Carrot Cake.And Dont Get Me Started On The Sweet Potato Pie Yall This Is No Five Dollar Patty Pie, If I Had To Rate It On A Pay Scale I Would Pay $50 For A Slice(Ridiculous Right? Wrong, If U Have Never Tried It). If You Haven't Tried This Hidden Gem In Memphis You Are Missing Out I Have Personally Tried Almost Everything On The Menue(Even Coconut Which I Absolutely Dispise) And To My Astonishment I Licked Container Clean Is All I Have To Say.”
“We got lucky and got taken care of by the manager on a Friday night with no reservations.The drinks are amazing. They have a good selection of non alcohol and vegetarian options.The birria was delicious, and I suggested garnish with radishes.”
“if you go anywhere in memphis, make it knifebird. our group came in expecting to snack, but we ate every last thing that came to our table. from the friendly staff, to the wine flights, to the charcuterie boards, to the dessert - it was all so so so good! 20/10 this place is a must-visit!!”
“Went today for lunch wings and fries were AMAZING! But let me just say I don't know what/ who/ or how Wingman is making that ranch dressing but they need to bottle it and sell in every store and they give you enough for your wings and fries! Chef kiss to the WINGMAN . ?”

“I will keep coming back again and again! **you can order pizza next door and they will bring it to you in the bar**. Staff are the sweetest and regulars are so friendly. Beer and seltzer only, but they are priced great. Shuffle board on the side. LOVE this place!!!!”
“We had the amazing pleasure of having Journey, Azelyn, and Kai as our baristas. They were kind, funny, and just all around amazing. They gave awesome suggestions. The atmosphere is perfect: colorful, cozy, and comfortable. I won’t bore yall with pictures of me and my husband in the mustard color chairs, but this is definitely my favorite coffee shop in Memphis.Kid-friendliness: My kids had such a good time. They offered us non-espresso versions of the frappes and chocolate milk.”
“The brewery has a warm and cozy atmosphere. the staff are very friendly and helpful. The band Rockstar & the Night Stars is also great. We loved the place, the beer, the bar atmosphere and the band.”
“Good food. Service is cafeteria style. You order at the front desk and then you pick up your food when it's ready. I recommend the Bandeja Paisa. It brings everything so you can try what you like.”
“Global Cafe is a culinary haven where different worlds of flavors collide in the most delightful way. Picture this – one space, multiple grills, and a menu that takes you on a gastronomic journey across various countries. It's a concept that's as brilliant as it is delicious.What I appreciate about Global Cafe is their commitment to catering to diverse tastes. Their menu doesn't just cover the basics; it spans the four food groups, ensuring there's something for everyone. And if you're a vegan, rejoice – they've got options that are just as flavorful and satisfying.The ordering process is simple and efficient – you place your order upfront, grab a number, and settle in at your table. The anticipation builds as you wait for your meal, and when it arrives, it's a feast for the senses.Now, let's talk specials. Global Cafe doesn't just stick to the ordinary; they spice things up with unique specials that add an extra layer of excitement to your dining experience.And here's the cherry on top – the convenience. If you're in a hurry or just prefer a cozy night in, you can order through their app and breeze in for a quick pickup. It's a splendid experience from start to finish, making Global Cafe a go-to spot for a culinary adventure that satisfies both your taste buds and your busy schedule.Parking is not fun. You may have a little walk, but it’s worth it.Parking: It’s often a bit of a struggle. The paid spots are closer to the door.”
“Great date night. Everyone is super nice and welcoming and they are great at recommending games for you. Good selection of drinks, and for a small fee we tend to bring in take out. Love this ”
“It's a very calm clean relaxing place to have lunch ... I ordered the Pho and sushi rolls ?The Pho is a noodle soup ? which you can add meatball, meats and also vegetable sprouts..Parking: At the corner of Summer@ mendenhall I'm not sure if the parking lot is shared with the grocery store or if it's all connectedBut I believe they do HAVE parking in the back”
“Place is absolutely great. If you walk in and it's crowded, fear not, there are plenty of tables on the second floor. The torta is spot on... and huge. Tacos are great, but you should really branch out and try a torta. :)”
“Best bbq and brisket I’ve ever had! The staff is amazing. The food cannot be beat. Quality meat cooked to perfection. Best nachos in Memphis!!! Also, you can’t beat the ribs. You must try the brisket. You can’t find good brisket in Memphis unless you try Bain. I recommend adding their house-made queso onto the brisket sandwich. 11/10”
“Loved the Nashville location, so we tried Memphis. Lived up to the expectations. Great service. Beverages are serve yourself, otherwise they take care of you. The have an outdoor patio that is weather proof. And be careful, hot is ?!”
“Precious was an excellent host while there! Family owned & family ran restaurant. Best soul food in Memphis HANDS DOWN! Their son is so adorable & that’s who took my order. He knew the menu & was so respectable. I’ll definitely be back next time in town! & they showed us the tour bus !! So fun !!”
“It's the only best Mediterranean in Memphis. I have tried their shawarma many times. I gave a try to their vegetarian platter and never be disappointed. I loved the taste of rice, and the platter quantity was huge. Never disappoints!”
“The SPOT. Food was amazing and they stayed extra hours to get us in. Awesome service, great food, shout-out the banana pudding and the ribs. Shari was the best and gave us awesome conversation and service. Great intro to Memphis BBQ as tourists!”
“Atmosphere is authentic - place is quaint - food is excellent! I had the fish and chips and the wife had chicken Caesar salad. Service was friendly and attentive. This place checked all the boxes and it’s got that great local feel! Gosh - almost forgot the bread pudding! Also excellent!”
“Definitely an enjoyable cup of coffee. If you want a really hot cup of coffee, I suggest checking to see if you are able to get it extra hot.While I did enjoy my coffee, it was definitely lacking heat, Luke warm to this super hot coffee lover! It was enjoyable nonetheless!This is a great location to hangout and super busy, I am not a local but noticed that many people were running into people they knew.They also have a variety of things to purchase to help various charities giving you the opportunity to do good while you are there...”
“So, I normally can't eat waffles cause most people make them with pancake mix. But these folks make theirs from scratch. With real maple syrup. I almost cried.Also, celiac friendly menu.Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly options!”
“This restaurant is always a great experience from the moment I walk in to the moment I leave. The delicious food and cocktails are consistent and always perfection. The waiters are top tier and the service is exceptional. Will be going there again soon because I can't get enough.”
“Stopped for lunch with family. Was treated to a revival of my belief in the food perfection of the city cornery diner. Next time I am in Memphis, I will definitely be coming back here for all that is good and holy and tasty.Fried chicken tender platter was moist, perfectly fried, and generously portioned. BBQ ribs were a religious experience: perfectly smoked, fall off the bone, with just the right amount of sauce. Catfish was mild and perfectly dusted in cornmeal and spice. I could live off the gumbo for at least a week if necessary. Service could have been better, but admittedly we came in during a brief rush and in any event the quality of the food was well worth the wait.”
“My personal favorite is the lasagna. It’s a timeless classic. I’ve ordered it so many times that I physically cannot order any other restaurant’s lasagna without disappointment. Great staff, great atmosphere.”
“Wow, these are truly the best evenings of my road trip. I came back my second evening to listen to the singer who is exceptional.For the restaurant part, the servers are very attentive to ensure that everything goes perfectly.The BB King deserves his reputation.Congratulations to the whole team, on stage, in the room and in the kitchen.”
“Nice place to have food! Their food options are little different that's what makes them unique. The drinks options were good and had some lamb kebab and yellow rice. I highly recommend trying the restaurant and enjoy the vibes.”
“We went to four different breweries in one night while visiting Memphis and the Soul and Spirits Brewery was hands down the best. They have the most variety of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks at great prices, and the staff are super friendly!”
“The food, service, and experience of eating at this restaurant made me eat there twice. The restaurant and employees went above my expectations to make me feel special. This restaurant is a great place to visit and dine in and I recommend it upon your visit to Memphis. I can’t wait to return to Memphis to try a new dish from the menu. The catfish, mac and cheese, hush puppies, and greens almost took me out, lol very delicious and the dessert was simply to die for.”
“Great staff. Had the burnt ends sandwich, the KC Melt, and it was the best sandwich I have had maybe ever. Blue cheese slaw was great too. Scheming already on when I can get back over there. Staff was very nice and helpful.”
“Loved our evening at this historical Bartlett restaurant. The new management team has kept all the great things about Side Porch and elevated them. Highly recommend!”
“Courteous, considerate staff, even when overwhelmed with orders(!). Great place to grab a bite (or a meal for the whole family) on the way home, or for lunch, or wherever!”
“Came here for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Perfect atmosphere for a special evening. We ordered the lobster bisque, lobster ravioli, tirmasu, boscaiola-shrimp and burrata. Would recommend ?”
“We chose a late night dinner, the experience was very pleasant for our 1st time. I brought my man for his birthday dinner and he didn’t even complain about the portions. The drinks were also good. Our server was amazing from his suggestion to his charisma. We enjoyed ourselves.”
“Wow. Wow! What an amazing tour. Taylor was an incredible guide. She was knowledgeable, likable, fun and a whole bunch more adjectives of greatness. Each and every stop on the tour was un-flippin-believable. The amount of food was substantial, she means it when it states come hungry. Of course there was bbq, but a deep fried burger? (Being made in the picture) Holey smoley it was tasty! If you are in Memphis, a tour is a no brainer. And a great value!”
“The spuds are absolutely delicious The pizza spud an the regular spud with cheese chives an bacon are my go to's The cheeseburger is fire as well an don't forget about the 2pc catfish an fries Charles my brother keep up the good ”
“I would’ve given it a five star rating since the food was really good. The area was clean and the service was good but the only thing that I didn’t like, was the fact that they only give you a 1 ounce salsa for three tacos. As a Mexican, that’s not enough. I paid extra $.50 per each additional salsa. I think that a mini salsa it’s enough for 3 tacos.”
“Amerigo is a great Italian restaurant for families. My one complaint is the tip is automatically added to the total bill on top of the tax which makes it even higher than standard 20%. I always tip well relative to the service, but it’s irritating to be given no choice.I understand it’s standard for large parties, but our most recent dinner was 3 adults & 2 little kiddos. Not cool.”
“We have now visited twice. This restaurant is really to be one of the best restaurants in the city. From the weight staff to the bartenders to the housemate cocktails, I cannot find one thing to complain about. Everything is an exceptional experience. But the food. It's something else. A well done, upscale menu and dining experience.”
“Had the pizza at the hotel lobby bar before. Arguably one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life.Came tonight and had the French dip. What arrived was a Sandwich so exceptional that all other pretending sandwiches should be demoted to a lower category. Unless you are going to roast the beef yourself, and carefully simmer down the au jus, you will not find a better sandwich.”
“They have Amazing food for Brunch (The Post Roast, it's my favorite) The Pork Chops are delicious also ! And service was great. I just wish they bring the rolls back. But anyway, I'll definitely be back again.”
“Came here on a whim. First time. Greeted and seated promptly. Not particularly busy on a Friday night. Server friendly and very willing to make recommendations. Good test of a neighborhood bistro is the burger. Large with an abundance of dressing, is slightly undercooked. Although delicious. Fries were as good as I've had anywhere. Worth a visit just for them. Several tables of younger single women dining together and it appears a faithful bar crowd with a permanent happy hour menu and drink specials. Will be back.”
“Out sightseeing and looking for a place to eat lunch, and the pictures of the food pulled me in! I was curious of the name, and the wonderful host Judy told me that it was for South of Beale. Meeting Judy when I came in the door was just the beginning of this wonderful experience! We discussed what a cool place it was, and how much she loved working there and taking care of her customers. Then Taylor came up to wait on me, and she continued the happiness of being there. After a little discussion, I went with the Duck Fried Rice, the picture of which was the thing that brought me to SOB. It did not disappoint, it was amazing! The entire lunch was just so pleasant, from the atmosphere, to the staff and then finally the food. I can’t wait to go back and try more things!”
“I'm not an all you can eat buffet person but this restaurant was actually good. I like the fact that you mark on the menu what you want the waitress takes it to the kitchen and they bring it out to you. You finish that and do it over again for as much as you can eat. So it's like a All you can eat but you don't have to get up and get it. If that makes sense. If you have leftovers it is an extra charge. The location is clean. There was no wait time. All the food was fresh and well cooked. You do have an option of not doing the $28 All you can eat and just ordering as if you were at a restaurant but I feel it would be better to just do the All you can eat.”
“Fantastic selection of really interesting beers - lots of styles you don't often see. Not all of them hit individually, but the vast majority did; and one simply has to give enormous respect to a brewery willing to be so exciting.”
“Had a great birthday experienced, service was top notch, all the food, sweets and the palate cleansing in between courses are all delicious. We saw the chef in the kitchen which was a highlight of our dinner as well. We are local so will be back for sure.”
“I'm a vegetarian and I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and I didn't think I'd enjoy myself as much as I did. This is literally the most flavorful and delicious "crab boils" I've had and there wasn't any even crab. Worth every penny and it made me question my choice to not eat meat. Super friendly staff and a great environment.”
“Divine Delight: A Heavenly BBQ Bologna SandwichIn a world where culinary experiences often leave one seeking something more, I stumbled upon a revelation at hernado's hideaway diner – the BBQ Bologna Sandwich with Cheese. This humble creation transcends the ordinary, offering a taste that borders on the divine.From the first bite, I was transported to a realm where smoky barbecue flavors mingle with the comforting richness of bologna and the creaminess of cheese. Each element harmonized seamlessly, creating a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate.But what truly sets this sandwich apart is its subtle, yet unmistakable, religious undertone. As I savored each mouthful, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude, as if the hands that crafted this masterpiece were guided by a higher power. It's as if every ingredient was blessed with a touch of celestial magic.The bologna, sliced just right, embodies the essence of redemption – taking a humble meat and elevating it to a celestial status. The cheese, melted to perfection, serves as a reminder of the comforting embrace of faith, enveloping the sandwich in a warm embrace.And let us not forget the barbecue sauce, a divine elixir that imbues the sandwich with a righteous tang, leaving a lingering sense of fulfillment long after the last bite.In a world filled with culinary chaos, the BBQ Bologna Sandwich with Cheese offers a sanctuary of flavor, a testament to the power of simplicity and faith. It's more than just a meal; it's a spiritual experience that nourishes both body and soul.”
“My wife and I decided to skip the BBQ on our next trip to Memphis and picked here- what a GREAT choice! Fantastic lunch menu with great prices and portions. The BLFGTA was both of our favorites. The truffle fries were great to share. We would love to return for their brunch menu.Parking: There’s a small lot beside the restaurant with paid parking.”
“We went there for their St. Patrick’s Day event. They had deals on beers, a food truck, and both board games and yard games. There was plenty of seating, the bathrooms were clean and the staff were friendly. It is a family friendly location and also dog friendly. The kids had fun playing games and eating chips and dip!”
“Enjoyed my meal in the bar. Enjoyed listening to a wonderful piano player. The service was spot on and my food was excellent. Met some lovely ladies and enjoyed myself very much.Parking: Unless you want to pay the park get there early”
“Found this restaurant on maps today and decided to give it a try. The service was exceptional, and the food didn't disappoint.Appetizers were good but not exceptional.We found the entrees to be quite exceptional.”
“The spot was on point! We sat at the bar on a Sunday. The bar tender KD was amazing! She makes really good drinks! The entire staff were very friendly and attentive! The Crab Cake Benedict was delicious! Cooked to perfection! It's my new favorite entree! My husband ordered the salmon Benedict! He loved his meals too! He said that's one of our spots!”
“Chopped salad was crisp and delicious. Loaded baked potato, mushrooms were out of this world. Filets we cooked to perfect. Service was on point with no issues. Great time..”
“This is one of our favorite restaurants! I used to work here years ago and know the chef, Marty personally. The food is authentic Italian and ingredients are very fresh! The atmosphere is very chill, posh feel. We went for my 30th birthday dinner, and Maryna took care of my entire party! Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambiance!! The chef Marty came out to introduce himself, he is very personable yet professional. My husband says he needs to order red trout to-go after work. My bolognese eggplant parmigiano was cooked to perfection! I have missed the realness and rawness of the flavors and ingredients! Super thumbs up, my family and friends will be back along with us!Parking: If the parking lot in front of the restaurant is full you can park right next door at shared lot.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid scene but are welcome. My one year old niece joined us and was accommodated just fine.Wheelchair accessibility: First level seating with no steps.”
“We sat at the bar ; food was good , service was pretty good ; behind the bar visually is poor due to clutter and grime. Staring at dirty glasses and an old dishwasher etc is not ideal.”
“Ben is a great server, and I apologize for my tardiness for this review.The food was great. I ordered the Dover Sole Meuniere, and it did not disappoint.I was so deep into my dish that I did not remember what I my wife ordered, but I do remember that she had an after dinner drink while I chose the Brandy Alexander. We were both very satisfied.Please stop by if you're in the area and feel impressed with their menu.”
“By far and away, the best wine list in Memphis (and probably the entire state save for BlackBerry Farm). The owner selects each bottle personally, curating an elite list of high-end pinot noir (new world and burgundy) and Napa Cabernet that goes far beyond the usual, basic Caymus/Prisoner offerings you get at other peer establishments. It is a bit of a splurge but it’s worth it every time.”
“Had a great time! Visiting from out of state with 4 kids. Didn't take long for us to get a spot and were completely blown away when our awesome server Nick (hope you get a lot of credit for this. You deserve it!) and his coworkers started to bring out small batches of dough for the kids to play with! Wonderful customer service touch. We also take pride in being self diagnosed pizza snobs...we loved the pepperoni quality, crispy crust, and fresh basil. Sadly we messed up not taking pictures. You can blame the kids.We will be back anytime we visit Memphis, Midtown. It's nice to feel at home, away from home.Kid-friendliness: They give kids dough to play with at the table. Neat touch.”
“The waiter was very prompt and kind. The atmosphere was appealing with art photos and a wide range of windows to look out. The music ? played was 90s alternative, which was a plus for me ”
“Food was hot and delicious. Service was great! Although it was a busy weekend, we didn’t wait long for a table and food arrived quickly!!Parking: Needs a bigger lot we had to drive through a couple of times and wait for someone to come out.”
“The restaurant was beautiful, and the food and drinks were some of the best I’ve had in Memphis. Our server, Kevin, made sure we had excellent service the entire time, as well. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
“Delicious !!!I tried to visit the Park location and was greeted with hostility and attitude from the hostess over my taking/ wanting to use a Sanitize Wipe that was right by me as I waited to be seated."Those aren't for your hands "....and"Where you gonna use that At"? (with her hand on her hip was the attitude and question I was asked)I decided to leave and come to this Location and Never Going Anywhere but Here.Thanks for prompt and Kind Service ...Food was Amazing”
“Giving this place 4 Stars.Seemed expensive for a food truck. I ordered the chicken burrito. It was very good and came with spicy green sauce. I will definitely go back.”
“A truly Memphis experience. Great hibachi, sushi, and cocktails. Make reservations, and hope that your chef is “magic” Mike who, along with the place itself, has been around for decades. Some staff can be unfriendly, but if you persevere and keep an open mind, you’re in for a good time.”
“Delicious meal in an upscale setting (inside). Salmon was prepared terrific with a light glaze and decent portion. The table enjoyed an assortment of appetizers which everyone enjoyed the baked brie as well as the tuna tartar. Solid wine selection and good desserts which the table thought the key lime pie was best. Attentive service. A good place to entertain clients, family or have a romantic dinner.”
“Traveled to Memphis and ordered carry out. Hostess was friendly and personable. The food was well packaged and tasted great (spicy chicken ramen and appetizers). Will order next time in town.”
“The pork shoulder was everything the hype said it would be! Tender and full of flavor. BBQ sauce was added and it was just the right amount. The baked beans were the perfect complement to the meat. The cole slaw wasn’t my particular favorite but if you like vinegar based cole slaw then I bet it hits different. I got take out on a Saturday night while staying at The Peabody. The line for seating was out the door and I heard the hostess quoting 45 minutes to an hour at 6pm.”
“We absolutely love this place! My husband proposed to me here, so it has a very special place in our hearts ?. The food is amazing! I've had the Chicken Marco Polo many times and it never disappoints. Great drink options and the service is always top notch whether you sit in the dining room or at the bar!”
“My, my, my! Bar Hustle is The Bar, bar none! I’m chilling at Bar Hustle on a Sunday afternoon with friends and Juntao has mixed us up a round of inspired and personalized cocktails, based simply on on a quick round of questions regarding liquor preferences. This man is a master mixologist able to combine liquors, liqueurs, spices, citrus, and other ingredients into cocktails that will have you sitting on a bar stool for hours!”
“Phenomenal burger. Cooked perfectly. Butter and toasted buns on point. Creamed spinach was delish. Tina's service was on point throughout the dining experience. I totally recommend this location to anyone desiring a good beer, great food combined with amazing service. 5 ?.”
“Staff was very friendly the place was clean that had a ballgame on tv the menu had a lot too choose from and it didn't take long to get my order the food was great”
“Food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. First time here, and everything was perfect. The manager came out to greet us and ask us about the food and the service. Very nice place.”
“Great place to for for happy hour! The staff was great and the drinks were delicious. Be sure to go in on the alley side. Great place to have some drinks and an app check it out!”
“Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Sat at the bar. Food was great, got the chilaquiles (Mexican here) and had a great authentic flavor. I would just make them spicier but that’s just my opinion. The margaritas I had were great too.”
“Came to visit Memphis for a business trip and this place is 5 stars! I’ve had plenty of caribbean food back home but WOW. This place needs to come to Jersey & Charolette, NC ”
“Sekisui Pacific Rim is an east Memphis sushi scene, from the food to the ambiance to the service!FOODI can't help but rave about their Redbirds Roll - it's my absolute favorite for 18 years now. It's a meal all in itself. Imagine a California roll with crispy crab inside and cooked shrimp on the top. I also like that is pays homage to our baseball team, the Memphis Redbirds. And the Cucumber Rolls? The freshness and flavor burst in your mouth, truly a refreshing treat, and you feel very light after eating it. Oh, and don't forget have some green tea; it's the ideal way to round off a fantastic dining experience and help you digest the meal.It's not just the food that makes this place special; Sekisui Pacific Rim goes the extra mile by using eco-friendly paper straws, demonstrating their commitment to the environment and, of course, saving those adorable turtles.AMBIANCEThe ambiance at Sekisui Pacific Rim is hip and chic. In the back of the restaurant, they have an aquarium that serves as mood lighting along with a massive art centerpiece that adds to the overall charm. The art features throughout the restaurant really set the mood for a unique dining experience.When it comes to the seating arrangement, their artsy tables and layout also contribute to the cool and contemporary atmosphere. And if you're looking for a more intimate experience, I highly recommend the cozy sushi bar off to the side - it's the perfect spot to watch the talented chefs work their magic.SERVICEThe staff makes everyone feel like they're at home. I love them and they love people and understand true customer service!If you like sushi, it's a great date place, a place for a small friend group or even a work meeting.”
“The food here is delicious! I come at least once a week and get the same thing every time: the chopper salad with chicken. Though this past time, it didn’t taste as good as usual. Not sure why. Anyway, it’s usually AMAZING. The only reason I give 4 stars is because their bathrooms are awful. I really wish they’d re do them. They’re usually dirty.”
“Food is incredible. Be warned that the music playing is incredibly loud. The very first thing said to us when we walked in was that “we don’t sell cheese dip.” A little insulting but I get it. We would definitely go back but probably sit in the back section to avoid the stupid loud music. But the food is really crazy good.”
“Memorable. Whether a seasonal creation or a classic cocktail, the drinks here are sublime. Couldn't ask for better mixology or friendlier bar staff. Highly recommend (and the food's excellent to boot!).”
“Good food. Stuck up people. Assuming it's because it's located in a more wealthy area (Lakeland), I still had a good time. Although, I wouldn't bring my children here after hours, they have a decent kids menu.”
“A great adult atmosphere. A variety of music and food choices, security on site, and the ambiance is amazing. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, but it was an overall good experience.”
“1st timer. I went in to try the Chicken and Dumplings,Dressing, Black eyed peas and Beets. (Lunch Special) I was going to do a carry out but ended up having a drink at the bar. The Mixologist was the best. I stayed and ate my lunch and had fun conversation. It's a homey feeling. Thanks Guys can't wait for my next visit.”
“Look growlers may be a small venue and the parking may suck but nothing beats their shows. They have amazing artists that show up and do awesome jobs. I've only had good experiences there. You're up close and personal with the band you may even get lucky enough to meet one face to face. Even if you're way back in the bar area they have great sound quality , the food is good. The price of booze and liquor are some what good and a great patio area to chill if you want to get out and get some fresh air also, the staff is pretty chill”
“LOVE this place!! A foodie-friend recommended we try it and I'm hooked! The hospitality, food and drinks were all wonderful - but the desserts... their bread pudding was so well done! I cleaned my plate and ordered another to take home, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the great dining experience!”
“When I say this is the most delicious Jamaican food I’ve had…THIS IS THE MOST DELICIOUS JAMAICAN FOOD I’VE EVER HAD!!! The owner was patient and kind and had wonderful customer service!!! This should be your first choice in quality authentic Jamaican cuisine!”
“Come for the food. Stay for the friendly service. You'll find a genuinely happy father/daughter duo and servers who are on point. I recommend the omelets. Solid coffee too. The cash register looks like it came straight off the set of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. You'll experience a quintessential old school diner vibe that is rare to find near Waltham and surrounding area.”
“My first time stopping here and from the moment we walked in the door I felt welcome. The customer service was the best and I mean the very best I seen in a long time. Our orders didn’t take long and the food was made to order hot and fresh. Very tasty and seasoned to perfection. Will definitely be back ???”
“They have the best seafood hands down the pan we had it was loaded with shrimp potatoes sausage and crab legs the season was on point I recommend this place please go check it out”
“I ordered online. When I came to the window, at the estimated time of completion, I was told to wait understandably, yet it took an additional 15-20mins to get my order when I waited 30mins already. Food was good ??”
“First time going and it was a great experience. Everyone was welcoming, and it was a warm environment.- Lucky Long Island Ice Tea | Not the best flavor, but a decent drink, especially for the price.- Tennessee Lemonade | Refreshing, strong drink.- Meat Lovers Pizza | Good, homemade flavor, plenty of toppings. Tastes great next day.- Cheddar Cheese Bites | Fried cubed cheddar-- REALLY GOOD, comes with marinara- Fried Chicken Tender Basket | I chose lemon pepper and it was very good, and good portions. Fried very well and fresh.”
“Libro is a must try! Truly a hidden gem in Memphis. The food and drinks here are amazing but what really brings it all together is their bartender, Taylor, he is a master of his craft! Warlock? !!!”
“I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The atmosphere has a unique vibe that adds to the overall experience. The food carries a distinctive, signature taste, indicating the chef's passion for cooking. The drinks from the bar were excellent as well. While our waiter wasn't the best, I'm hopeful that with time, he'll improve. I would absolutely return, and I highly recommend giving this place a try.”

“Our family enjoys eating dinner out once in a while, though it can often be disappointing. This location was the exact opposite! While the appetizers did take a little longer than we had hoped, all of our food was hot and fresh. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. We definitely recommend eating here!”
“This is a sorry place with the sorry people working there just don't listenPlace your order then they call it back to you when your order comes out it is the opposite of what you ask for sad and hell you is the only person in the drive ”
“Golden City’s chicken with stringed beans is delicious! The chicken is tender. I loved the sauce as well. I commend Golden City for the ratio of meat to veggies. There’s not many places in this city where you are served healthily portioned plates.”

The Crab Cake Benedict was delicious! Cooked to perfection! It's my new favorite entree! My husband ordered the salmon Benedict! He loved his meals too! He said that's one of our spots!”
“A truly Memphis experience. Great hibachi, sushi, and cocktails. Make reservations, and hope that your chef is “magic” Mike who, along with the place itself, has been around for decades. Some staff can be unfriendly, but if you persevere and keep an open mind, you’re in for a good time.”

“I have been coming to Nam King for over 30 years. They have the best Fried Rice and egg rolls in the city of Memphis. If you can’t get good fried rice, the rest of the food will be poor. I have followed them all over the city and the store in Raleigh has always been my favorite. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and anyone else who asks me where the best Chinese food is. I was so grateful when they reopened. Thank you Bonnie Zhao for keeping the restaurant going!”

“This place is seriously the best place for authentic Mexican food in Memphis. The al pastor tacos is the tastiest in town and the fish tacos are hand battered with their own blend of seasonings. The salsa bar is amazing and all made in house. Can't wait to go back!”
“This is a must try Coffee place! This is a place where the owner is very passionate about his Coffee. He will take you through the history of Yemin Coffee and his love shines through!The flavor is smooth and inviting. The Mocha is a natural part of the beans, not added by chocolate syrup. Nothing is wasted in the processing of their coffee. It's unlike any coffee place you have experienced outside of Yemin.The desserts are yummy, both local and traditional Yemin style creations.You are missing out if you have not been to Aldar Cafe!”
“Service was personal, everyone was friendly, food was limited as they have not opened yet, but the food was over the top fantastic. They are still in the process of moving in and decorating and I’m looking forward to eating there again when they have their full menu..”
“We have now visited twice. This restaurant is really to be one of the best restaurants in the city. From the weight staff to the bartenders to the housemate cocktails, I cannot find one thing to complain about. Everything is an exceptional experience. But the food. It's something else. A well done, upscale menu and dining experience.”
“The best! The best wings! The best fried chicken! Incredible fries too. ? The grilled chicken and yellow rice is delicious! Love this restaurant and the family that owns it is so generous and have pride in their home cooking!!”
“This is one of the guys who started Bala's Bistro in Whitehaven. There are a few of the same items but 90% different menu with good variety. I sampled the salmon meatball and will get it next time.The Thiep Yapp is a good meal. The chicken is seasoned well, veggies are tender and everything has a slight hint of spice without being flaming hot.They need a,bigger place already. Folks were streaming in to try the new West African neighborhood favorite!”
“First time visiting location, and seems like a peaceful yet elegant environment. I love the fast paced service, cleanliness, and food.I order a unsweetened coffee with milk with salmon and avocado toast. Thanks Madav C! ?”
“We was a group of 13 that decided to meet for dinner & drinks. The children loved the food and the margaritas were awesome! We didn't received any attitudes and they accommodated us well. Our server joined tables together (without us asking) so we could be together. We enjoyed!!!”
“The food is super tasty and the staff very friendly. Nice alternative for when you want to eat a lunch without meat or want to take a quick sandwich with you. The lemon citrus cupcake was also very tasty! Recommended!”
“Good food and service. Just needs to give more limes and sauce. They give you 1 spice of lime with 5 tacos. The lime could be dry and not squeeze. Lines are the best part of mexican dishes. Give it up!”
“We've passed by this location multiple times while in Memphis and finally stopped by on a Tuesday for lunch. I'm glad we visited. We've consumed too much bbq at this point while working in Memphis but Smurfey's in my opinion is pretty much up there at the top. They don't serve ribs but I was quite happy with their selection of sandwiches and nacho's. We had the bbq sandwhich and flight with chicken and pork. Both items were delicious. The chips were fresh and fries were fresh out the grease. The drinks were bottled for Smurfeys and those were good as well. Papa Smurfey came out to check on things. Dining and bathroom was clean. The host was very helpful. I'd come back if I was in Memphis.”
“We were in town visiting Memphis for the first time, Easter weekend. Due to the holiday and some places being closed on Sundays, I wanted to ensure that we secured dinner reservations for Easter. I did research & found Flight. The menu was intriguing & decided to make a reservation for a "fancier" night out. To say we loved Flight is an understatement. Walking in the door, we were greeted with friendly hostesses. The waitress was fantastic, explaining their menu to us. She was super attentive throughout the whole meal. The wine flight selections were great- and reasonably priced. The fish flight was incredible, as was the wild boar and elk that we also ordered. The ocean flight appetizer was delicious- crab cake, lobster ravioli, and shrimp. The soup flight was enough reason to visit Memphis again. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice night out, date or with friends. it is a great date spot but also awesome overall. The front patio overlooks the cute street (with trolley tracks) and overall cozy and trendy. When I am back in memphis, i will be back at Flight!Parking: free valet”
