Cajun crawfish Alfredo with andouille sausage and broccoli.

The fried catfish was good, sweet potato fries were also good. The Cajun Alfredo had a TON of spices in it. Couldn't even eat half of it because it's way too salty/spicy. Kind of like they just dumped the seasoning on it.

Fried fish with honey gold sauce.

Third time eating at this food truck and he never disappoints. Grilled shrimp was what I ordered the first two times but, this time I tired the honey gold fish. Omg!!

You order online, pick up your order. Simple as that! You don't even have to get out of the car. It takes a while to bring your food, because the parking lot is completely full of customers who come back for this deliciousness. The menu has amazing options. Next time I'll share pictures of my food. Today I had grilled shrimp, fries, and Hawaiian roll. The lemonade is superb! And addictive! Will definitely return to try every single thing on the menu.

Oily pasta

I've been eager to try this place out because, the food looks delicious. I ordered the alfredo pasta bowl($12), I added shrimp($7) for 4 shrimps and I added salmon($6). I also added Cajun Alfred sauce ($2.50). The pasta was good but, it was lacking cajun seasoning and alfredo sauce. I was expecting it to be spicy but, it wasn't. I placed an online order @ 12:02pm and I didn't receive my food until 20 minutes after it said it was ready for pickup @ 12:25pm but, it was ready at 12:40pm. For almost $30 you'd think it comes with bread and/or a drink but, everything is ala carte. Also, with the amount of oil that was in the bottom of the bowl the pasta isn't cooked fresh. You can tell it's microwaved. I love supporting us but, for $30 I was expecting it to blow my taste buds through the roof and it did not!

The food was amazing the customer service was great, and overall was a great experience. I was visiting the city and found the restaurant and was immediately treated with kindness. The customer service was fantastic. The food tasted fresh, seasoned really well, and was neatly placed inside the To- Go boxes. I definitely recommend this restaurant, however they are take out only and pricey. The price was worth it though!

I arrived at 6:30 took me about 5-6 minutes to order(online only) and the website restricted it. They told me they stopped taking orders at 7:00 pm(although they close at 8pm) when the time was still 6:30 ~ish. The younger guy bringing me food had smart remarks, and the taller gentleman with short hair and a gap was sarcastic while watching me order. After all the rudeness the guy looked at my screen and when he saw my total was $73 he was quick to put my order in. I didn't get my food until an hour later. Very Bland, and very basic food for those prices. Very disappointed in this black owned business. Please enter with caution, if you enter at all.

Hot honey gold fried salmon nuggets. Layers of sauce. Seasoned fries.

Anytime I'm anywhere near Hardtimes Deli, I have to stop in for what I consider the best Turkey…read moreBacon Ranch sub in the city. The combination of freshly baked bread, smoked turkey, pickled avocado, and crispy bacon creates an incredible flavor in every bite. The atmosphere is just as enjoyable as the food. With its laid-back vibe and cozy seating, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Today, I paired my sandwich with Jalapeño Ranch Sea Salt chips, and to top it all off, I grabbed a Jarritos Pineapple soda--the perfect drink to complement an already amazing lunch. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich and a welcoming place to unwind, Hardtimes Deli is definitely worth a visit.

This place is fantastic. I have gotten sandwiches here a few times and they never disappoint. They…read moreare packed full of meat and toppings and many of the sandwiches put a unique spin on classics. The staff are always super welcoming. The only downside is the price, as spending ~$20 on a sandwich is never fun, but it seems like that's just about everywhere these days. However, if you're not that hungry, these sandwiches can be stretched to 2 meals to keep the cost down. A few of my favorites are the Turkey Bacon Ranch and the SSS Chopped Cheese. THEY ALSO HAVE CANNED GATORADE. IYKYK Being able to pop over to Slowdown Dry Goods next door while you wait for your food is a big plus. They always have some cool stuff to check out while you wait.

I took a pic of our sandwiches, potato salad and kimchi to send to my son in Dallas to brag that Memphis finally has a real Deli!

I was passing through and tried to find a place that would give me a taste of the local food scene…read more I was craving authentic Tennessee BBQ. I'm sure glad I made the choice to stop here! My sandwich was very good! $10 is pretty fair for what I got. I loved the sauce, the meat was also really good. The tater salad was AMAZING! I'd get a large of it everytime I eat there if this was a local place for me. The meal was a solid 9/10 If you're in Memphis and you want some good BBQ made with heart and soul, then you should try Elwood's. The only thing missing from my meal that would've completed it for me was some hot buttery cornbread. I'll certainly be back to try their ribs and other foods!

Man, the menu at Elwood's Shack is huge--almost overwhelming on a first visit. 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.
