Stopped by on a Saturday around 2pm for the smashburger. This burger is massive and made fresh to…read moreorder. It was so hot I had to wait to take a bite. I selected the smashburger combo that comes with side and drink. I had fried okra and red koolaid. IYKYK. The burger comes fullly loaded with lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayo, bacon and an egg. There is a special sauce as well but it doesn't help, add or take anything away from the burger. In fact, the burger had no real BOMB flavor at all. There was nothing special about the taste. There needs to be a freshness to cut through the heaviness of the double patty burger and a better smack sauce or whatever its called. The fried okra again fresh and hot but they finish with some seasoning other than salt. Garlic something I'm sure but it shouldn't be auto-added because it's overpowering on food. Overall good experience, great vibe and staff and cooks were phenomenal because the food is cooked to order hot and fresh I will be back once I save enough money for a $15 burger!

The grits were hard, and the crabcake appetizer came out cold--though the sauce on top had great flavor. None of our food was served piping hot, which was disappointing. The crab claws were a highlight--buttery and well-seasoned. We did have to send our fries back for a fresh batch, and the shrimp and grits were just average. The best part of the meal was definitely dessert--the double brownie with pecan ice cream was delicious and saved the experience a bit. On a positive note, the service was good--Liz was great and very attentive--and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. Overall: decent, but not a standout. 7/10

The service here has unfortunately gone downhill. This was my fourth or fifth visit to the Memphis…read morelocation, and while the first few were good, the last two have been very disappointing. If you sit in the bar area (after being directed there as a solo guest), be prepared to go long stretches with no attention. I sat for a long time before being acknowledged, and my drink sat empty from the time my entree arrived until the end of the meal. Management really needs to support the bartenders better when it's busy. I'm actually writing this review at the bar right now because I'm still waiting for someone to come by so I can ask for my check or ask if I want dessert. The food is good, --certainly not good enough to make up for the lack of attentiveness. Next time, I'll wait for a table in the dining room or go elsewhere. Update: I eventually had to ask a busboy for my check, seemingly a manager brought it out but she wasn't dressed and the same uniform. I tried to hurry and put my card down not even attempting to use any of the four rewards I've earned over the last 2 months. Before, I couldn't look up she was gone and I waited another couple minutes. That's why I changed to a one-star.

Thankfully, right…read morewhen I walked in, someone pointed me in the right direction and said, "If you're trying to decide, go with the Redheaded Stepchild." I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

The crispy Brussels sprouts were yummy with hot honey and bacon. Lastly, I tried a little bit of the smoked salmon dip and it was good too. Overall, nice atmosphere and good service.

Everyone was a bit concerned about the location and parking, but it was easy to locate and easy to park. Service with impeccable and food was fabulous. There were many varied choices for lunch so we all got something different with no complaints!! That's a win for the home team The entrees were savory, cooked to perfection and spot on.
