“Joseph was our waiter tonight and I just want to send a shout out for his professionalism and wonderful demeanor. Hope to dine here again and look forward to him helping us again. The PARHAM’S“

“Great service great food. Hudson was the best server we have ever experienced. Very attentive and so kind. My wife and I split the Spinach Manicotti. Was great, warm, and filling! Great night all around. Will sure be coming back!“

“Found Dino's on a whim (thanks to Google Maps) today looking for a spot to eat after getting at the zoo. Really nice place and good food. Am glad we found it.“

“They are the very best restaurant in town.“

“If you love Italian.! I’ve been eating here for 41 years and have yet to get an average meal. Actually tried something new tonight per the waitress recommendation and loved it. Great food and a feel from one Italiano to another!“

“Never purchased anything I didn’t like!“

“Thank you Cocozza for such a great time! Your sauce is better than mine and I loved the meatballs. I need recipes lol. That cannoli was the best too. Usually it is so chewy at other restaurants. It was crunchy and creamy perfection. I also recommend the bruschetta and the calamari starters. Your staff was so engaging and they made my birthday so much fun. They took the time to answer questions, even about the restaurant itself and artwork. Very engaging and professional. We will be back because this is now my favorite restaurant!“

“Hear me out - I visited Olive Garden in Southaven about 5 years ago for the first time and concluded that it was overrated and not what I expected and very much bland and basic. Fast forward to now - I decided to give it another try and let me tell you THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! They changed my mind at this location for sure! Everyone was so kind, I was seated quickly and probably had the best server in the building. She was so attentive to my needs and checked in every few minutes. The building was packed with a work engagement happening so I figured the food would take a bit to come out… it did not! Food came out lighting fast! I had barely eaten my appetizer when my main dish was coming right out! Everything was hot and fresh. Like burn your mouth hot. It was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. I must say, my mind is changed and I now love Olive Garden. I feel like I have to come to this one every time now for this experience lol. 10 out of 10. Staff and cooks are on their stuff here.“

“Fantastic!“

“Best pizza I’ve ever had. Def try the bbq pizza.“

“This is seriously my favorite place the get food. Love everything from the staff to the over all vibe.“

“We have been going here for years and the food and service was starting to decline over the last year. We went again last week and everything had improved tremendously. Apparently new members of the original family took it over and everything was really good again. The food was excellent as was the service. The atmosphere was much brighter as well. We are going again tonight.“

“I’ve picked food up and had it delivered, and everything was fantastic both times. I’ve already referred several friends and hope to join them there to dine-in soon. If you haven’t been yet, I encourage you to give them a try.“

“We have been to Venice Kitchen several times, once at a big birthday party in their special dining room, twice for lunch, once with a Date Night partner. Every time, the food and service are exemplary. I especially love the craab chowder, but it’s all just delicious. And very down-home.“

“Chefs kiss 💋 the best pizza“

“FANTASTIC ...VERY PLEASED...“

“My husband and I just stopped in for a quick bite (2pm in the afternoon) and and enjoyed the south Philly and the Italian Beef- highly recommend. However, I was a bit disappointed in the atmosphere of the place. The ceiling was falling down or missing in places, there was no ice available in the drink machine, and several of the tables were dirty. I’m all about supporting local but you’ve got to put a little effort into it. Sorry to be negative but I want you to be successful!“

“We love this place! We just picked up a Loaded Pizza. They only use the freshest ingredients and the staff is friendly and funny. Always a pleasure!“

“This is one of Memphis‘s finest restaurants, very, very very highly recommended“

“Service was so good I felt like I was in a Michelin star restaurant!! It's been a while since I visited but the food was fresh, salad was as good as I remembered and the calamari was tender and not rubbery. Couldn't eat my entrees, was too full.“

“This was our First Time coming to Jets Pizza. BBQ Chicken, Spinach and Feta Bread was fantastic. Outstanding Customer Service provided by Dawn, John , and Greg. We will come back to Try the Deep Dish specialty.“

“My family was in town for a burial of our loved one. We stopped at Pizza Hut after. There was 20 plus of us. The waitress, Kelly, was very accommodating for all of us. She went above and beyond to meet our thirsty requests and arranged the dinner room to fit us all so we could sit together. Our pizza was delicious and fast. Strongly recommend“

“My server was Diago, and he was very polite to my dad and I (saying mamm/sir). The food was amazing, and it did not take long at all, but it was not very but also not slow but over all 5 stars and definitely recamend.“

“I have been eating at their South Parkway location my entire life. I have not been disappointed ever!!! All of the negative comments are just absurd because the staff is great and so is the food. I ❤️Coletta's????“

“Their chicken philly is AMAZING“

“I went to Exline's Pizza on Austin Peay. I often take something from Memphis back with me when I return to where I live. I got an around the world pizza, caramel cake and a brownie. The pizza was great and the customer service was even better. Tameka and Junior were great today, and made my experience amazing. The great service iswhat keeps me coming back.“

“Great experience at Rotolo’s. Great food and entertainment!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Coletta’s Catering for a wedding on 9/20, and I cannot say enough great things about this amazing team! They went above and beyond their catering duties, even helping with cleanup and breakdown for a very intricate event. The food was absolutely delicious, and I can’t wait to visit their restaurant soon. If you’re looking for exceptional service and mouthwatering dishes, you can’t go wrong with Coletta’s Catering!“

“The service was great. Veronica had the sweetest demeanor. We got a chance to meet the cook, Mike. Our hat goes off to him for such a superbly prepares meal.😋 We ordered the fish and spaghetti 🍝 meal. OMG- just down right delicious!!!!!! We will definitely be back AND tell some friends.“

“For starters, I was placed on hold for twenty minutes before I hung up and called back. I finally got the order placed. I was told I would receive it in around 57 minutes. I called back 1 hour and 30 minutes later and was told it’s coming. Twenty minutes later I called back and the manager answered. I was apologized to and told the driver was about to leave with it. The driver apologized when he arrived and said the other driver neglected to bring my order, so it just sat there. After he left I opened the pizza box to find a cold pizza with a 4” crust around the edge and had sat so long that the bottom was stuck to the box. I called back and was given the run around, so I asked for the manager. The manager offered to make thing right and send a fresh pizza to me. An hour and a half later I’m realizing that the replacement pizza isn’t coming. I’d like to call back again just to see what they say this time, but I guess it’s probably best to bid Marco’s farewell. Way to go and thanks for nothing!“

“I ordered a grilled chicken salad, bbq nachos, and one of the sub combos All of the food was great and portion sizes are really good too. The salad is enough to eat off of for 1-2 days. The only thing I would complain about is the wait time was longer than I was told. I would return or recommend anyone to come here!“

“Lovely food and fantastic service.“

“The waiter was awesome D.J. The food and service was amazing.“
