The Four Way Soul Food Restaurant

I visit this restaurant very often over the past six years and have even put family/friends on to support them. All while, they have always had phenomenal service, today was very poor. The staff seemed very unwelcoming and dry. I was not acknowledged in the pick up line until 5 to 6 minutes went by. It was not too busy to stop and ask if I needed something. I watched several people continue to walk by me and make eye contact before a 4th person stopped to check on me. I was asked for specifications on my order and was told they don’t remove ice from VIP drinks, or add lemons but the option is clearly on the site. No one even expressed these concerns but had it highlighted on the ticket as if I should know what that means. I am also missing an extra sauce that I asked for on my online order and shown on my receipt. The male manager had a nonchalant attitude throughout when I mentioned my concerns out loud . Please work on your interpersonal skills as this is very important to a small business’s reputation. I won’t be coming back.

From the moment we walked in to the time we left, **the greeting and table service were a solid 10/10!** This was our first visit, and since we were traveling to Memphis, we had to stop for some true Southern food and hospitality — and The Four Way did not disappoint.

I ordered the 2-piece dark fried chicken with turnip greens, yams, and cornbread. My girlfriend ordered the fried green tomatoes, salmon croquettes, cabbage, black-eyed peas, and peach cobbler and we both had the VIP drinks. A must to get!

Let’s start with that fried chicken — I took one bite and literally had a tear in my eye. It reminded me of my mother’s fried chicken when I was a little girl. Omg! It was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The yams were out of this world, and the turnip greens were so flavorful you didn’t even need hot sauce!

The salmon croquettes had amazing flavor and breading — just a little on the dry side — but the house-made tartar sauce complemented them perfectly. The cabbage was delectable. She said the fried green tomatoes tasted just like her grandmother’s. The black-eyed peas were full of flavor.

The peach cobbler had great flavor, though it was a bit thick and dry — I would have loved a few more peaches. The cornbread was the only real miss for me — a bit dry, thick, and cold.

Even with those small notes, everything else — especially the service and the soul in the food — made this a must-visit spot. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Memphis!

I decided to grab me something from there for lunch. Four Way, has always been a place I'm thats been very nostalgic to me. I've been going there since I was a little boy and I've had close relatives who has worked there too.
The service is
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and the nice lady that saw me standing at the front register, waiting to place an order, should be recognized for her outstanding customer service, cause she took my order. I always smell like that restaurant whenever I come in and leave. It's very nostalgic for me and I love the way they upgraded it on the inside. I ordered, the turkey burger and fries. The burger was seasoned perfectly, the bacon cooked great,French fries seasoned perfectly, my only issue. The hamburger bun was burnt. It gave the turkey burger a burnt taste. The sweet tea was excellent. Other than that, their customer was on point, we'll be back.

Delicious food (the turkey and dressing!), Amazing history (from MLK and civil rights leaders to Elvis to Obama and celebrities in between), and the owners and staff are warm and welcoming and happy to share the story. A local standard and a visitors/historians/hungry persons treat! You will be happy you went, too.

Food was good, but the portion size was smaller than expected for the price. The baked catfish, dressing, and mac & cheese all had nice flavor, and the service and atmosphere were excellent. Just wish the serving sizes matched the quality and hospitality.

It's a museum in its own right! Well worth the visit.

Mr chime time sent me here it did not disappoint. Catfish was great and the spaghetti for a side was as well I was sad when I heard they were closed Mondays meaning I couldn't go back passing through Memphis to get home but it was Greta and the people there were beyond welcoming and friendly would 100% go back.
