    The place is nice. The service is welcoming, but the food would be a choice if you didn't feel…read morelike cooking. I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there. The texture, the powdery residual taste and the wait time leaves me at this place being a one time experience at the least and a, "if I had to" at the most.

    The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was so much better that I expected and it resolved…read moremy rather bad day. I ordered the catfish with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience

    This was my first time in a long time visiting a Cracker Barrel and it was a pleasant visit. The…read morestaff were extremely nice even though the place was packed. I added my name to the wait list 13 minutes before I arrived and the time I was given was 20-25 minutes. Once I got there I was told it would be another 20-25 and would be notified by text when my seat is ready. 40 minutes passed, no text nor no name call over the PA system. I went to the host station to inquire was told a text went out. I showed them I didn't get a text, but was seated immediately. Even though I waited longer than expected, it wasn't bad because I looked around the store at all the nostalgia items they have to purchase from toys to candy and etc. Now to the food, the pancakes were not what I was expecting. They were too soggy/buttery. The edges were crispy, but the center just didn't do it for me. They could've been cooked a little longer. The watermelon mimosas and turkey sausage were perfect. I requested egg whites only, but was told they couldn't do it but my receipt shows I paid for eggs with egg whites included. The grits were extremely bland. Overall, it was a nice time out. I love the country/log cabin feel of the restaurant. I will be back to give them another try!

Keep in my mind they could have told me this information since the beginning but decided to tell me 30 min after my wait. A waiter saw me standing there for 30 min and decided to come help and the manager proceeded to get on to her because she's trying to attend a customer instead of doing his job and assisting clients. My order was 3 sets of pancakes, never got to place it. Unprofessional and wasting peoples times

    My husband and I were craving some BBQ so we decided to head over to Memphis BBQ and try them out…read more It was absolutely delicious! We split the cheese fritters as an appetizer. They were so delicious with the sauce at the bottom. My husband greatly enjoyed his burnt end cheddar melt, and my Pitt master sampler was delicious and left me enough food for a whole other meal! The fries, Cole slaw, and baked beans were also delicious. For dessert, my husband enjoyed the apple cobbler, and I had the banana pudding - y'all, this banana pudding is some of the BEST I have had! It was so yum that I almost hurt myself on it because of how full I was (lol). The service was also very hospitable, pleasant, and quick! I highly reccomend Memphis BBQ! Pro tip: the Pitt master sampler is absolutely enough food to split, especially if you get an appetizer!

    Updating my review from 4 years ago. We've been maybe a handful of times since…read more Our visit last night though was decent. They don't take reservations, and I even called to inform them we had a party of 9 and they said it didn't matter. Okay... we get there and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. If we had been able to make a reservation, that wouldn't have happened. The employees were all nice though. Our main waiter and the waitress helping him were attentive and got what we needed. One thing that really disappointed me was that they were out of brisket (told us after we placed our orders) and half our orders had brisket. We had family from the west coast here and the whole point of going to Memphis BBQ was for them to enjoy southern BBQ and I feel they didn't get the whole experience. Another thing, our waiter specifically said he put the 3 kids meals on one order so they would come out first... guess which ones came out last out of all 9 of us? Yeah, the kids. And the food was piping hot for them so they barely ate anything by the time we were all done with our meals. Which our meals were actually good. Except the water. Has an awful chlorine taste to it. Lastly, weren't we supposed to get complimentary pork rinds? I completely forgot about that until after we left or I would have asked for them. It wasn't a horrible experience, but we've definitely had better and we'll probably be back sometime.

I got the chicken lunch plate with 2 side and cornbread. The chicken was seasoned well but wayyy to big for my liking. I do not like huge hormone injected wings. And personally the side I got the candied yams and corn didn't have enough flavor. But it was eatable. I was expecting a home coooked meal type of vibe but this not what my granny or even my food taste like. But again it was just okay. Good for the price. The service was really good and quick. I may be back to try other items.

Be what's worse, I wish that I could share these pics the way this food was sent. Who eats blackeyed peas and corn mixed as one dish. Inedible. If I could share these pics, there is no way they would have PRIDE in what they put out. Welp, 1 thing for sure, 2 for certain...This was first and my last visit to this establishment. I totally wasted $30 bucks and had to STILL reorder from a similar place. UGH

    "How the South does fast food!" That's the slogan and I'll be damned if this isn't the best…read moresouthern fast food anywhere around these parts! It's a brilliant concept really. It's a meat and three kind of place with many options of proteins and veggies to choose from. It's a larger and more diverse menu than you will find at any place that is quick like this. It's way nicer inside than any other fast food place, that's for sure. Great color scheme. Floor plan flows well. You can see where to access the bevs, condiments, and rest rooms easily. I personally like these the best in this order: Fried Fish Baked Wings Fried Pork Chop Pinto Beans Corn Cornbread Chicken & Dumplings Sweet Potato Casserole Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes They also have: Baked fish and chicken Greens Potato Salad Black Eye Peas Fried Okra Broccoli Casserole Fries Fried Broccoli and many more... Food flies out of the kitchen fast, I am not sure how they do it and keep it all so fresh! The people are super friendly and most helpful. Smiles on everyone's faces makes you know that they are happy and taken care of by management and the owners. I'll be back for sure! Enjoy my years of fried food pictures below! Tehehe '25 - 8/111
