Been loyal to swankys for years, and the food and service has slowly declined over past few months. First- the hostess actually yelled at us that we would just have wait a while for our order, we hadn’t said a word, just waiting patiently to be assisted. It wasn’t even that busy, which should tell you something. We finally get our to go online order. Should have checked it before we left, cause it was all wrong. Tacos were terrible and one order had some slimy goo sauce all over. The other was burnt crisp. Also left out our chips and queso that was an extra $8. So $50 for three burnt steak tacos, two slimey tacos and one individual serving bag of chips that was already opened that only had about 1/3 of the bag left.
Sadly- we will not be visiting the Poplar Memphis location ever again.

Great space for meeting up with friends or working alone. Friendly service with great food and drink specials. The portobello tacos were quite filling.

I think the food is really good here, but don’t come for trivia If you want to win. The company they hire repeats questions at different venues. There’s a competitive league, so some people play at multiple locations and know the answers. We have also witnessed the MC’s giving the regulars answers.Again, it’s still fun, but just know what you’re getting into. If you’re competitive at all, you’re gonna be frustrated

This is an expensive place to eat. I was charged extra for cheese and chips. The restaurant was quiet. The food on line was hot. The workers let me build my own taco bowl. I recommend the food you see. This is my second visit. The food from the kitchen was not cooked well last time.Parking: This venue is by La Maison Antiques and shares parking with the store.

My family and I stopped to grab lunch while we were in town. I ordered a quesadilla with fajita chicken. I bit into the chicken and it felt and tasted funny. Realized that it was completely raw on the inside. I have never been served raw chicken before. Needless to say I lost my appetite and will never eat at this establishment again. Thankful my kids didn't get chicken.

Had dinner with an old coworker and was pleasantly surprised! Great costumer service and the food was pretty decent too. She had the Fish Tacos, I had Chicken Enchiladas, and we both shared Chips, Queso, & Pico De Gallo.Drinks were just "ok" but the staff was much younger than we were and I used to be in the bar industry back in California many moons ago so my standards are on a different level. They did well with what they knew.Prices are decent. If in the area, I'd go again.I did almost get lost though. The signage wasn't lit and it was getting dark so it was a little difficult finding the restaurant. PLUS, there's another Swanky's location on the same road (Poplar Ave) in the Memphis area so if you're not careful, you might end up on the wrong side of town about 15 minutes away!All in all ... we both had no regrets.

The food was not as good as other locations I've had. I ordered a burrito bowl and asked for rice and beans. They have not even half a spoon full of rice. The meat was cold. My bowl that is usually enough for me to have a whole second meal wasn't even enough to fill me up. I frequent other locations, so I know this is not normal portion sizes. Was really not impressed with this location. Paid for a full mean and got not even a half of one.

No greeting from staff, no thank you. Salad was not edible. It looked like a dog’s breakfast. Lettuce was wet and yellow. If you own this establishment I suggest you make some changes. IMMEDIATELY.

The quesadilla is fire. These folks here are absolutely hammering out some Mexican food. Beer was cold and tasty. Pull up.
