“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.“

“Quick shout out to the crew closing on Saturday night. I try to avoid ordering food just before any place closes but it was late Saturday night and I came in at 10 minutes before close and asked if it would be ok to get a burger to go. They were great and didn't make me feel bad about coming in late. Excellent burger and great service. Which was exactly why I love to go here instead of any of the drive-through places in Midtown.“

“This place is a gem. From the outside it looks average…but once inside…the food is delish. Most everything is from scratch. Lots of good all American food choices. Every time we go it’s busy but we never have to wait long. It’s a place worth trying out you won’t be disappointed.“

“I'm from out of town and chose this place solely on the pics of their Cajun Pasta. Best decision ever! It's delicious. On top of that the service was on point. They obviously cook with love and want their customers to leave happy. If I'm ever back in Memphis, this will be the first place I eat.“

“This was the best burger I've had in a long time. The food was hot, delicious, and came jn generous portions. The restaurant was nice and relaxing with a very clean and tidy eating space. The service was great, food came quick and the prices were amazing almost too cheap to believe because of how good the food is. If you like burgers then look no further. You will be impressed and leave happy and full.“

“I'm giving five stars because the burgers and fries were not a let down. They were very good. The service not so much. One waitress stopped at our table and asked if we needed anything, asked for refills and she said "I'll tell her " and walked away to get on her phone. Rude but at least ho eat the burger.“

“Come and bring a friend! Trey was very welcoming and energetic as we ordered our food. My wife tried Sidewayz Grille earlier in the day and convinced me to cancel my original dinner plans to go and try the food here. The food was well seasoned (which is hard to find in Memphis), especially the wings and fish!! I hope Trey opens a store down on Madison so I can eat the foot more often.“

“Great pizza restaurant. My family loves the Around the world sausage add black olives/extra hot peppers. I remember when I was little boy my dad would take me to Fox ridge when it was on Knight Arnold rd to get pizza after SEMAA football practice. One time he dropped the pizza and the owner gave him another pizza free of charge. That’s type people they are family friendly business. Clean restaurant with nice bar and many seatings. Directly located in heart of the city. Highly recommend will be back soon for pizza fix“
“This restaurant is a much needed addition to the Ridge Lake area! We work next door and walked over for lunch…what a pleasant surprise! So grateful to have a great new restaurant in the neighborhood! Ambiance and vibe are great, can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stepping into Complicated Pilgrim was a delightful experience. The modern atmosphere, stylish decor, and overall vibe immediately set a welcoming tone. It’s clear that great thought went into creating an inviting space.
The service was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we were greeted with warm smiles, the staff’s exceptional customer service stood out, making the experience even more enjoyable.
The menu, though simple and easy to navigate, was surprisingly fitting for a restaurant with such a unique name. It was straightforward without being overwhelming—a pleasant surprise!
Now, onto the food. It felt like being back at grandma’s house for a classic Southern breakfast. The biscuits were buttery and flaky, easily a standout on the plate. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked. However, the turkey sausage fell short of the meal’s high standard. It was thin, slightly dry, and reminded me of Great Value frozen sausage—a processed option that didn’t do justice to the otherwise exceptional meal. Substituting this with a higher-quality brand would elevate the entire breakfast experience.
The holiday decor was charming and prompted us to snap some personal pictures, adding to the overall warmth and joy of the visit. I look forward to returning to try more menu options and soaking in the ambiance again. This is a great spot for dining solo, with friends, or with family.
Rating: 4.5/5 (Fix the turkey sausage, and it’s perfection!)
Parking: There is a parking garage behind the restaurant“

A small deli style lunch is available made by southern cooks. It's at Hollywood and Chelsea. Clean and friendly. People who know....order from there.“

“I would recommend, but the owner needs to make sure each store is consistent. I've only eaten from there 3 times. the one in Southaven I had the salmon combo - delicious, awesome. The one on Walnut I Door Dash for lunch last week and had a double sliders combo for the first time - it was delicious - sandwiches were made as I ordered. I was really impressed! the only the wrong was i ordered carrot cake & got lemon cake instead I don't care for. someone should have called to give me other choices. Today I skipped going to Southaven (who's customer service was excellent) to go back to the Walnut which is 9 minutes from me - bad choice. I ordered online & got my food to come home. should've checked it first - will do IF I go back to that location. got sliders combo will all I had the last time just left cheese off. The patty wasn't half as thick as the one patty I had on the delivered order. I didn't get my grilled onions. I had to open the sandwiches to see if a slice of tomato or lettuce on each - may have been a thin 1/3 of a slixe of tomato on each. I don't even know how to describe the lettuce. The German chocolate cake - deeelicious! I will support again, but service should be the same at all the stores. I know to check my orders even though Southaven shows their customers the order before bagging it. I shouldn't ha e to drive out there when one is closer.Oh your onion rings are the BEST at both locations! And the salmon sandwich - best I've had! I plan to try more on your menu.“
