I have this thing where when I visit a joint for breakfast, I have to first try their chilaquiles and if they don’t serve them, then their chicken fried steak and eggs. It was a CFS kind of morning. The decor is odd, sort of Grandma meets Munsters. It’s a dive, a diner, located on the west end of Historic 6th Street. Service was great. A chicken fry needs to 1) be fork tender 2) have good gravy 3) have enough gravy 4) have the right crust to meat ratio and 5) make you want to come back and eat it again. This one is fork tender. Batter is seasoned well. Excellent gravy and enough of it. Good crust to meat ratio but … the meat had a beefy taste that was not my favorite. The eggs were scrambled and decent, the hash browns not crispy but still flavorful but I tell you what, I got the biscuits and gravy and that was the star of the show. Homemade biscuits with tasty gravy. I’ll go back just for that. One thing threw me—- they lay the steak on the gravy. It still works but I like it on top, lol. Look, if you go in eyes wide open, wanting volume and nostalgic food, good service, easy-in and easy out, you’re gonna like Meme’s.

We are so glad we stopped here on our route 66 trip. Our breakfast was so good, and the portions are big. They also make a really good green and red chili sauce. They should bottle it. Service was really nice, and the restaurant has a really nice route 66 vibe!

The food is great. The service was good. My problem with Meme's is we used to come here every sat morning for a couple of years then one sat we came and they wert open .this happened three different times . Says open at 6:30 am might be open by 9 if your lucky. After a year and a half we tried again. Parking lot full of car waiting at 7:50 am but not open . I won't try again.

Got there right at noon. Ordered catfish, soup and baked potatoe. Was told we’re out of baked potatoes (?). Lunch just started!!! (replaced with broccoli). My sister order catfish, salad and broccoli she got her salad which consisted of old lettuce (browning) and a sliver of cabbage. Bad…. When we got the catfish, it didn’t taste like catfish, it had a flour batter & was over cooked. It tasted more like a bland tilapia. Broccoli was decent. Soup was good. Not worth $24…
