Fantastic food and super friendly staff make Ben Yays the go-to for Cajun food downtown!

Twice I’ve tried to go here but they’re never open? I showed up at 6PM on a Saturday and it was closed. I really want to try the Voodoo Pasta.

The food was amazing! Every bite just got better. The jambalaya, blackened chicken, green tomatoes, Caesar salad. I have no regrets. If visiting anytime soon, I highly recommend this place. They did not disappoint.

Likely one of the best dining experiences in the 901. Amazing catfish and they fried green tomatoes are excellent. Great place for Sunday brunch. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

First time here and it was amazing! Food, super fresh and fast definitely made to order. Chef Tony was a real treat! He made sure we were satisfied with our order from beginning to end. Our server, Ashley made it even better. She was ridiculously nice and made sure we were also taken care of. Definitely top service I’ve ever received.

We went here on a Monday night and it wasn't crowded, but the bartender was the only person waiting tables so it took a little longer. We had a large party but everything came out really hot and fresh. The cook was a little upset because we ran way past closing time but he did his best and everyone was pleased. We will definitely be back but earlier in the day.

Had to come back after our visit last night - was only in town for a short while, but this is a must visit while in Memphis! Service and atmosphere was stellar (thank you, Ashley and Chef Tony)! Everyone of all ages in the family loved the beignets. Will be back whenever we’re back in town!

This place looked like a hole in the wall, and it kinda was. I was the first guest at the bar at 830pm on a Tuesday and by the time I left at 930 it was pretty filled up for the tiny place it is. Food is the reason, all HUGE portions. Check it out, be nice and you'll probably feel like tipping extra after they charge you 18% gratuity

Weird vibes as you enter. On a Thurs evening, pretty empty. No one to greet you when you walk into the restaurant, so I walked up to the bar to order beignets for takeout. Bartender was friendly. Beignets w were nice and warm. Would taste great with coffee or tea. Reasonably priced at $8.99. The weird thing is they charge a 20% gratuity to all orders. That sucks for take out hence why I did not order more since I read the reviews were mixed. The tables were also dirty, and bartender on his phone. I wouldn't think the food is good from what I saw but I did not try anything but beignets.
