Pad Thai was a little Oily, Shanghai fried noodles were clumped together. Drinks and service were on point...
Have repeatedly accepted Uber Eats orders then cancelled them 30 minutes later. Just turn off your app instead of wasting half an hour of my day.
The food was underseasoned. Everything was hot and fresh but not well seasoning at all. The red beans and rice side item was more like bean and rice soup. I have no idea why the red beans and rice was bitter. It tasted like someone added a slash of vinegar to it. The customer service was good and it was family friendly. It was affordable. My family of 5 ate for $113 (including our tip). Overall would not recommend.
Swamp Bar was incredible. It has a very cool vibe with great cocktails and a killer menu. Our table was very happy with our orders. I loved the atmosphere and would say it’s one of the coolest bars in Memphis!
Yesterday was my first time at Second line and they didn’t disappoint. Lock was awesome (and it was only his 2nd day!) and Sophie was super helpful. I was so full I didn’t get to order the bread pudding, but that’s okay. I’ll definitely be back for it!
Pictured: etouffée, New York strip with crawfish Mac and cheese, drinks were “when the levee breaks” i think. (They were similar to a hurricane)
The Second Line was pretty good for brunch. I was dissapointed in the limited menu though, I should have gone later for some of the menu items I saw online and wanted to try. We had one bloody mary, one tea, wings as an appetizer, a fried shrimp poboy and a fried oyster poboy. The bill was around $72 before adding the tip. Our server was really nice, no complaints with service! They were working on the store so it was a little confusing to find the entrance. We had reservations for the patio and it was perfect outside, just lots of flies buzzing about. I'd go back, but I think there are so many awesome options in Memphis it may not be anytime soon.
Great food
We made reservations a month prior for a Saturday brunch on May 17. It was to be post graduation celebration. It was a larger party. I called and spoke with Hogan who took name cell phone and required a credit card to hold the reservation. We arrived at the restaurant at noon to find it closed for renovation with only bar service on patio No one ever called us - made an attempt to text or anything.
It was quite a mess - everyone was hot and tired and very hungry after. 3 hour plus ceremony. Needless to say it ruined what was to be a joyous celebration ! We were appalled. We have family in Memphsis who gave glowing recommendations for this place
I would NEVER EVER recommend this place in light of our treatment !!
Never answers the phone on lunch.
I had an allergic reaction because of Second Line. I have a shellfish allergy and asked if one of the dishes could be served without shellfish and they said yes so I ordered it. After eating a few bites I had an allergic reaction, and at that point we found there were still crawfish in the dish. I had to leave dinner with my friends and seek medical care. The manager offered a brief apology but didn’t comp our food. It was a really scary situation and only happened because of the carelessness of the staff. Also, it had taken us an hour to get our food after ordering it. Our waiter was nowhere to be found during that time.
And apart from this experience, the food is awful. I’m from Louisiana and can tell you the food is not authentic and is actually really bad. I have other friends from Louisiana who live in Memphis and none of us will eat here.

I had the best time here! Thank you to Cam and Sophie for the great conversation and even better service! The drinks come out quick, the food is delectable, and the decor is on point for Halloween. It’s feels comfortable and elevated — the best combination. This is my new go-to spot!

One of my favorite Memphis restaurants. The menu is a great collection of New Orleans/Baton Rouge deliciousness. And it is one of a handful of restaurants nationwide that meet that bar.
Their roast beef po boy is tied as my favorite in the world with Chimes in Baton Rouge. I’ve found close in NO, but not this well executed every time. The rest of the po boys are incredible as well, that’s just the highest bar to hit for me. The bread is Gambinos, but it and everything are better than places that cite that for legitimacy.
The cheese grits are “fancy” but delicious. The right consistency, cheesy, but not enough to be overwhelming. Red beans and rice are great. Shoot, the fries are great.
The cocktails and beers are great, especially with the food.
The service is great. The 1 time it wasn’t was just after the great COVID reopening and Kelley English took over as our waiter, turning it into a great time.
Such a great vibe. It’s the right amount of “bar” without being overwhelming.
I do recommend getting reservations for any time you go. Otherwise, you can end up being lucky to get a seat at the bar… and for good reason.
