I’m a regular customer here and I must say this is one of my most favorite brunch spots. The food and customer service quality is always TOP TIER. You’re acknowledged and assisted immediately when you walk through the door and this place always have a welcoming atmosphere. My favorite dishes to get is the salmon croquettes, breakfast tacos (with salsa) and breakfast panini. My only complaint is for the price, I wish you could get at least three salmon croquettes for $13 rather than just two. They’re usually not that busy during the weekdays, but on the weekends it’s usually a wait time however you still get in through the door fast. Very clean and professional with good quality food. Can’t wait to try out their dinner menu. 20/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food was delicious we had the Memphis merge and the chicken and waffles. As well as the sweet tart mimosa. The food came out quick which was a plus.
Went for a family member's birthday brunch (7 of us). The atmosphere and service were good. I usually go for breakfast foods but wasn't allowed to replace the eggs, so I ordered a chicken sandwich & sweet potato fries. It was good, well seasoned. And so was the food of 4 others.2 family members ordered the shrimp & grits and were a little disappointed with it. They said that the grits to meat ratio was very low; it was a bit spicy (they regularly eat spicy foods), and the shrimp were overcooked. They also felt that the beignets were a little undercooked & doughy.
It was just ok. Small menu but things can be tailored for your tastes. My kid had the chicken and waffles but couldn't finish because it was dry. I had the Memphis Merge and once I poured out the bowl on the plate and cut into my medium egg yolk, it was tasty. Add salt & pepper. I would get this again but sub ham with chorizo instead. My fave was the fruit bowl which I asked for a side of honey to drizzle over it. DeeeeeLiiiiiiiiCiiiooouuussss!Watching the cook staff handle our food with their bare hands in front of us was off-putting. We prayed over it. ? ?Coffee was good. Very clean. The air didn't smell of food so big ups to their ventilation system but there's something to be said about walking and smelling what you're in for. Hospitality was decent. Atmosphere lacked personality. It's still new so they are finding their way. Worth a try but make your meal your own. Add or take away to make it work.
Great Location. Great service. Great Food. Special thanks to the Kid behind the bar.
Great coffee!! The service was good. Had the eggs Benedict with pulled pork, it was a A bit dry and missing something - avocado or a kick of flavor. I think I would get something different next time, but I would return!
Well I'm back and it's been awhile, but here is the skinny on Southall Cafe. Me and my wife have been trying to eat at this location for almost a year whenever we travel to Memphis and today we got that chance. First off the owner is super nice he greeted us and sat us. Then he took the time and conversed with us, and that yielded me a FREE bowl of gumbo ? ? (SCORE!!!!!). So our food was amazingly wonderful, to quote the chef who also came to our table ? "not bad for a white boy from New York huh?" No sir not bad at all.
I’ve eaten here before and thought the food was good and the hostess was very friendly, but today we sat for 20+ minutes watching our server go to multiple tables completely ignoring us. I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Don’t ask for Taylor if other servers are available.
I just went to Southall Cafe for the first time. It was excellent! The owner and staff are very friendly and courteous. The food is absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back and can’t wait to try a Bloody Mary!:)
My fiancé and I visited Memphis over the weekend for the first time. Our experience at the cafe was exceptional enough to solidify our decision to move to the city. The food was flavorful, well plated. Perfect combination of New York pricing and Southern serving sizes (they are big)! Drinks are unique, tasty. Our server was prompt. We were even greeted by the owner, Scott, who checked on us and even gave us some sightseeing suggestions. Between the great food and genuine interactions, we’re certain Southall will be our go to spot!
