I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The atmosphere has a unique vibe that adds to the overall experience. The food carries a distinctive, signature taste, indicating the chef's passion for cooking. The drinks from the bar were excellent as well. While our waiter wasn't the best, I'm hopeful that with time, he'll improve. I would absolutely return, and I highly recommend giving this place a try.

I left another restaurant to come to Second Line today. I'm so glad I did. This should have been my first choice. Nonetheless, the service and food ???was awesome. Graham made certain of that (good service makes the food taste better). ?The atmosphere was great, and the other team staff made us feel so welcomed.I requested to see the manager, not to complain, but rather to express my sincere complimentary gratitude for Graham's great service and the atmosphere as a whole. ?Second Line, you won't be my second choice next time. You will most definitely be my 1st choice...Thanks Graham for making me and my sisters afternoon an exceptional one! We'll see you all soon! ??❤️Vegetarian options: They have seafood, fish, and veggies. ?

Found while looking for dinner option before a theater performance. Convenient location with inside, outside or bar seating. Good cocktails and entrées- we had reddish and pasta, which were both excellent.

We had a party of 9. Would do 2 or 3 tables but would not seat us Only thing is all the tables inside were open only a couple being used. I totally understand being understaffed just say so. She was not interested in helping or explaining at all it was like she didn’t want us there. Love the food but will be awhile before I go back

The fried chicken livers and fried oysters were amazing. The waiter (who we barely saw) told us about the crawfish boil going on for Mardi Gras. I live in Knoxville but I'm from NOLA. I was originally going to get a fried shrimp poboy because they seem to use legit New Orleans style French bread. After that comment from the waiter tho I switched it up and went with the boil.I SHOULD have known better, but I forgot about what's going on with the crawfish down in Louisiana. They're hurting down there right now due to a lack of surplus. The stuff we got from Second Line were small and not seasoned very well. Just didn't taste good at all. I'm pretty sure they were Chinese crawfish.They also need more than 2 outdoor heaters that covers only like 3 tables out of 10. We were freezing out butts off.If I'm back in town again for work I'll give it a second chance and try that poboy out, along with some other stuff. Those oysters.. Damn good.

Great relaxed restaurant/bar with friendly staff. Everything we tried tasted great - fried chicken liver with pepper jelly, roast beef and shrimp poboy, fried oysters with hush puppies and crawfish mac and cheese. Loved the chicken liver even more than I thought I would. It was a perfect balance of heat, crispness, and sweetness. Mac and cheese had crawfish in every bite~ The portions are generous and I’d love to come again if I’m back in Memphis.

Definitely a one stop - for the experience only type of restaurant. Food was not great. Waiter was super nice. Ambience was nice. I don't know what the big fuss is about.

This spot is really interesting from the food to the decor. The food was decent but not to run home about! They made us some really great cocktails and should’ve stuck with that. I would definitely go back earlier in the day to try out the food once more.Parking: Either do Valet parking, pricey FYI! Or park in the neighborhood street.. Not much else you could do.
