About Emmy’s Restaurant

Urban Plantation is a restaurant known for its delicious and flavorful dishes. Standout menu items include the creamy yet thick shrimp and grits, served with perfectly cooked andouille sausage and a perfectly seasoned sauce. The fried cabbage is another popular choice, offering a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors. The mushroom swiss burger is also highly recommended. The restaurant takes pride in using fresh ingredients, such as real potatoes for their mashed potatoes and hand-cut fries. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with ample parking and wheelchair accessibility. Families are welcome, and there is a kid-friendly menu available. Guests often comment on the friendly staff and the nostalgic atmosphere, which features a wide variety of salt and pepper shakers on each table. The food is homemade and comfort food, with dishes like turkey casserole with cabbage and mashed potatoes being especially praised. The restaurant also provides meals for those in need during special occasions like Christmas. Guests appreciate the quick service and the delicious food, which makes it a favorite spot in the community. The attached gift shop adds a charming touch, and the restaurant’s emphasis on cleanliness and good service ensures a pleasant dining experience. Recent visitors enjoyed the hand-cut fries and the Hot Chicken Sandwich, which was spicy and delicious, served with a special sauce. Some found the sauce slightly sweet and preferred mayo, but overall the meals received positive feedback. The restaurant is located a good distance from Memphis but is well worth the visit, especially for special occasions like a wedding at Beau Cheval or family visits.
