“This place was a lot of fun, our ride to the restaurant was in a pink limousine. The driver picked us up at our hotel the Guest House at Graceland and took us to the restaurant. He was hilarious. I was shocked when he stopped for get gas, especially since the restaurant was pretty close by. I would have thought that he would have filled up before his shift started. Something else that took place was pretty disturbing, he ran three red lights while in route to the restaurant and two red lights on the way back to the hotel. The food at the Marlowe's was great. Certainty worth visiting this place. They also have a cute little gift shop there.“
“Captain Don's Dinner was more than two hungry people could eat, but oh is it delicious. We're also going to love the leftovers! I expected the ribs to be fabulous but the rolls were to die for too. Our server Terri was very fast and efficient and friendly.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“We asked a local where was the best BBQ and they told us One and Only by far!! They were right it was delicious and our server was amazing!! And the banana pudding was to die for. The twice baked potato salad was a 10 out of 10!!We will definitely be back!!“
“Lunch today was excellently prepared and served. The service is top-notch; you're greeted when you enter; there are smiles and pleasantries from the staff; and outstanding assistance. I ordered the Hamburger Steak with Gravy sitting a bed of rice, sweet potatoes, cabbage and cornbread. Everything was well seasoned and generously served. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, my lunch money will be spent there!!!“
“Found this one from our fellow Yelpers and it was another success. We were there for a lighter Saturday lunch, and I opted for the breakfast bowl, which was very good. My wife chose the chicken Chipotle ranch street tacos and they too were very good. Our server was excellent. We will go back again and spread our wings across other menu choices.“
“My mom told me about this place for so many years and told me how great they food was. Baby when I say the food was amazing and I don't even eat barbecue really but she said it was great and my mom was right. She told me how they use to come to FedEx and bring them pork shoulder and the food is good. The wings hunny ? you have to try. I will return.“
“Oh my goodness; I rarely eat BBQ pork sandwiches . They don't sell bbq beef sandwiches and my sister convinced me to try Payne's bbq pork. Let me tell you I was not disappointed. I ordered the jumbo bbq sandwich plate. The bun was toasted and very crispy. The meat was enough for my large bun and two more small sandwiches I made at home.The beans and slaw were delicious, fantastic and very favorable. The customer service was exceptional and everyone was very friendly. I decided to eat there and the atmosphere was great with the old style restaurant vibe (old tables with checkered plastic tablecloths). Whenever you want some pork bbq and the most delicious bbq smoked sausage then Payne's is the place. Don't let the neighborhood deter you because some of the best food is sold in this area.“
“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!“
“Dude, great freakin' ribs. Learned that a dry rub is far superior and would have never known without trying both. I recommend this place to everyone visiting. The server was friendly and helpful. The energy was very relaxed and I'm glad I stopped by ?? thanks!Parking: The parking lot is in the back. There's an entrance from the parking lot.“
“Great food but very long wait. They appeared to be cooking dishes and bringing them out one at a time. There were only 2 other tables seated when we arrived and waited over an hour for the food. BUT when we got the good, it was SOOOOO GOOD. We got the brisket philly - Amazing. Kids got fried shrimp, cooked and seasoned very well.“
“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.“
“The ambiance is one of my favorite things about Hugstables. The staff members are very nice and professional every time we go. There are very few places to go in Memphis where a person can feel safe. On top of that, the food is some of the best in the city. I love to have my sons get their hair cut next door at House of Style, then get some food from Hugstables. I recommend them to everybody!“
“All the employees were pleasant. The woman working the front counter was so kind to my daughter.The food was incredible. From the ribs, to the baked beans, to green beans, chicken, etc. I don’t think there want anything that wasn’t delicious.The desserts were phenomenal. Lemon, strawberry, key lime pie. Man. What a great menu! Will be back if I come to Memphis again“
“I attended the FREE Parent Workshop — How to Teach Your Child To Read @ Crosstown Theater yesterday and meals were provided free by the program after it was over from T and T Catering LLC and I just had to leave a review! The food was amazing! I tried the smoked chicken salad sandwich and the Cajun Turkey and was blown away!“
“Best Ribs I had in Memphis! I went to two of the big named BBQ places and this was hands down the best. Very flavorful and smokey without the sauce, which was also amazing. The first night I went they had run out of ribs but the BBQ bologna sandwich and potatoe salad were so good I had to come back and I'm glad I did. Is definitely a must try if you're in Memphis.“
“Awesome food.Molcajete is the best. Service today sucked. I had molcajete, cheese dip, sampler platter. There was so much on the table between those items, the girls drinks, my water and amargarita, and chips. No room, so we eat,get to go boxes no room, to even get the food in a box. 4 employees sitting behind the cashier talking, (we were at the first 4 top in front of the cashier) it was not busy we went early cuz we know how crowded it gets. Several servers walking around… not one, even our server didn’t take any dishes away, I was spilling food trying to move things around and get things out of the way to get in boxes. Very aggravating. I love the food there, but, I go out so I don’t have to cook, clean up, and to have a good time and relax. Not to work or be inconvenienced. I usually tip well, but , no not today. There’s 100’s of Mexican restaurants here. When I found this place we were on a quest to find the best Mexican restaurant in town… we stopped there as we believed we found the best.. but the service seems to be lacking lately, so I believe our quest will continue“
“Great spot for live music and dancing. Friendly people and amazing service. I would've given it 5 stars, but they served me very cheap wine. I had 5 glasses and felt nothing. I drink 2 glasses of the one at home and be tipsy, that only cost me $7 a bottle lol. Other than that I really enjoyed myself! Check this spot out I went on a Thursday.“
“As long as they have been there. It was my first visit. I ran into a irrate parent. The worker that went into to action. She didn't let things get out of hand. I appreciate that because that's not me. I will be visiting again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“
“Mama's is a gem among rice and chicken restaurants. With its exceptional flavors, top-notch service, inviting ambiance, and great value for money, it deserves a resounding 5 out of 5 rating. This was an unforgettable dining experience. I'm definitely coming back!“
“They had a pretty long wait the night we went - but it was well worth the wait. This was the best BBQ I have ever had.KC and Texas BBQ joints could only dream of being this good. Every aspect of the meal was good and it was so filling - I keep wishing I was back there to eat more.“
“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.“
“This was my first time here. When I say the cashier Antoinette gave great recommendations and she was friendly as well. Everything I had was exceptional. The next time I’m in Memphis I will definitely be backParking: Not enough parking places“
“I ordered the rib tips, slaw and baked beans. The meat on the rib tips were so tender and seasoned to perfection. The cole slaw had the perfect amount of sweetness. The inside was clean. Come try it. You won't be disappointed. I would have posted pictures but no one wants to see a plate of bones.“
“The food was good, I’m from Florida and they didn’t have chicken wings, but they had Turkey legs. The ribs were amamzing just tell them to hold off on the sprinkle of seasoning which I found a bit salty. But perfectly flavored without it. And the mustard base, tangy bbq sauce we have in florida they didn’t have but it was good. I’m glad they didn’t put any sauce on I just the seasoning salt. The baked beans, had pickled something in it and a red strip bologna cut up in the beans which was new to me, and it wasn’t sweet but it was tender. They had cole slaw which also had a different tang, not a bit sweet, but very tangy. Overall it was new to me but Memphis bbq is different from Florida bbq. As long as the meat is cooked and the sauce isn’t over powering I enjoyed it.“
“Food was unreal. Seriously! But, we got there (from Dallas, TX) as they were closing. What did they do? Provided us something of everything they make!! We had a huge tray of their meats & sides and we sat right outside to try it all.What great people! They treated us like royalty and it was just what we needed after hours in the truck.I haven't been back to Memphis again, but when I do, you can mark it down that I will make my way to Tom's!“
“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!“
“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!“
