I walked in, was immediately greeted. Was suggested an order, which I followed. He then showed me around the restaurant/event space while I waited on food. I appreciate their commitment to the community, through feeding the homeless, taking care of regulars, and promoting local artists. He also highlighted that they have never had a lower health score than 98, which highlights their care for cleanliness.
When the food came out, I was shocked at the portions. I order the recommended: turkey ribs, smoked cabbage, broccoli cheddar cornbread, and fried okra. The BEST turkey I have ever had. The BEST cornbread I have ever had. I could not recommend this place more.
Thank you for your hospitality, commitment to the community, and incredible food.
The turkey ribs were different and worth the trip.

This place came highly recommended. We went to check it out on a Sunday and the expectations were pretty high. You place your order first and then you find a seat if one is available to dine in. Dining is limited and the establishment consist of local black artwork covering the walls there is an upstairs area, but that seating is also limited.
The owner was very proud of his establishment and gave us the history of how they came about and who cooks what in the restaurant. The service was great the food unfortunately did not match.
I’m all for supporting black owned businesses, but I have to give honest feedback. Starting with the sides, the spaghetti, the cabbage, and the greens all had excessive amounts of sugar in them, which was such a turn off, everything taste the same it was so sweet it created a film in my mouth of sugar. The sweet tea lemonade mix was again full of sugar. You couldn’t taste the lemonade or the tea. It was just sweetness.
I do understand certain people like their food like this. I however, am not one of those individuals. The turkey ribs, a.k.a. clavicle bone taste like smoked bologna and the A1 barbecue sauce did not enhance the flavor whatsoever I nor my mother could finish our food the cornbread taste like mush everything overpowered everything there was no distinct taste of broccoli or cheese just mushy wet undercooked cornbread that again was sweet. The only star of the show for this experience was the fried fish. It was cooked to perfection seasoned well surprisingly without sugar.
We could not finish our food after a couple of bites so we took it to go and handed it to a homeless person on the way home.
I love the concept of this establishment. I love how they incorporate other black businesses and I can tell he is proud of his work. I would love to support in other ways, just not through the food unfortunately, I will not be returning but I pray this establishment continues to improve, evolve, and thrive, it’s a million herbs and spices to utilize, sugar doesn’t have to be one of them and for $70 bucks I do expect to enjoy the food to some extent.

My parents live in the neighborhood and they both talk about the food here. So, mom and I popped in for lunch/dinner 2 go. I'm sorry, I forgot 2 take pics of my food, the smokey aroma took over and I had to eat. Get the turkey ribs! Yes grilled turkey ribs. Also smoked cabbage and broccoli cheddar conebread.. and the catfish, mac n cheese is another hit!! They have a patio, music, dominoes, chill covered laid back environment. I promise to take food pics, next time.

Food was delicious but $18 for fish plate I would have thought 2 pieces would have came with it. I was shocked how little one piece was.

Everything about my experience here at art house cafe was absolutely amazing. The food is incredible, and the customer service is exceptional! Wonderful hospitality! They also have beautiful art all throughout their establishment. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out on some of the best food in Memphis.

Someone else arranged for us to meet up here on a Thursday afternoon, so it was not busy. The staff was super friendly (one of the owners sat and talked for 20 minutes!), the service was professional, and it was an excellent value. Now I have to go back and try the catfish!
