Sunny outdoor diningSolid pork chops, greens and yams with corn bread. Not fancy just good.

The service was horrible.. They did not have anything we wanted to order that was on the menu and still charged an arm & leg… EVERYTHING I CHOSE THEY WERE OUT OF.. I was totally upset about my $115 I spent.. The homemade potatoes WAS NOT IT.. WE WILL NEVER GO BACK✅

I have been eating here for years. Warm welcoming staff and a bit of soul music. Wide variety of home style southern cooking. Also have vegan, vegetarian options. Near the Civil Rights Museum and Blues Foundation, on the trolley line. Quick take-away.

It took more than 30 minutes with no customers ordering but us. The shrimp and grits were top 5 worst shrimp and grits I have ever had. My kids love pancakes and sausage's and they did not like the pancakes and sausage we got here they said Dennys is better.

the food was amazing!! when we come back to Memphis, this will be on our restaurant list for sure.

I visited this restaurant today and I was sadly disappointed. These google review stars are really misleading. I tried it because it said 4.2 stars. It is not really good food or service. I understand it’s COVID time and restaurants are short staffed but hospitality can always be a priority. I wasn’t greeted and when I walked up I had to ask whether or not I was in right place to order. The young man said yes but just continued to work on orders and never greeted or said give me X amount of minutes. So after like 4 min, I asked I’m sorry was I suppose to order online/ he said no and to give him a minute. So I had to initiate customer service: he wasn’t rude but he was also not pleasant and seem a little irritated that I asked. Me and my niece ordered our foods. Which was expensive, her 5 wing combo with wings and fries were 19.99 but I’m thinking, it’s okay, I can pay for good food even-though my first interaction was not pleasant. We waited 30 or so minutes and the food was just not good! I was so disappointed/ I ordered wings with black eye peas and cabbage. I already mentioned my niece order: she tried a fry first and was like, “this is not good”. I tried and they just taste like grease. So I tried a piece of my Chicken. It completely tasted like a chicken wing thrown in grease, no seasoning, no salt, pepper/ the only flavor was grease. The black eye peas were okay, and the cabbage had a hint of burnt taste to them. The only thing that was good was the cornbread rolls! My niece has lemon pepper wings, she said they were just okay and the fries were nasty.. So l, I am forgiving of not the best customer service but the food is was just not good at all. Like I have never been to a soul food restaurant and the chicken is not good. I tasted a piece of my hive chicken because surely lemon pepper has seasoning, it was better but it wasn’t great. So, we ended up throwing our food away.Also, the tables in the dining room were nasty and sticky, We tried to different tables and they both were sticky and nasty.... The only reason I am not giving it one star was because I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are just not staffed and it was a bad cook on that day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food and service was AMAZING !! I mean the cabbage, the corn, smothered pork chops and this Sweet potato cornbread OMG ???? SUPERB

food is great I love it there

Stopped in Memphis for the day on a long road trip and this food was exactly what I needed. I had the catfish sandwich with cornbread and a sweet tea and it was the best soul food I’ve ever had. The guy who served us was so nice we talked the whole time and made the experience even better. Totally recommend for anyone in the area and I will be coming back!

Very good food. Took a minute because cooked to order, but definitely worth it. Great customer service. Nice atmosphere.
