I don't know what to think about this place. Midday, we almost didn't go in because it looked closed. And the two guys behind the counter, while nice, seemed a bit out of it (if ya know what I mean). But back behind the space there was a quite lovely outside area. I guess this is the place to be at night or something? Who knows. We also tried- unsuccessfully- ordering delivery from here previously. Cancelled our order twice because the restaurant hours are all over the place. Anywho, 5-stars for that freakin' turkey leg. Forget all that stuff they want you to add on top. Just have the basic smoked turkey leg by itself. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it's one of the best things you'll ever eat. A smoked turkey leg. Really? Hell yeah... read more

Visited this nice spot for Reggae Sundays . I enjoyed the live band and meeting new people. The place was PACKED and business was definitely booming . I didn't get a chance to try the food or drinks here due to long wait time but I was able to view/ walk the area. Bar areas was clean and the bathrooms were definitely clean in the establishment read more

Only giving it four stars because it was quit pricey. We got an appetizer, two entrees and four beers and our bill was $100 lol. We thoroughly enjoyed our food and probably would come back but not eat next time around! Really neat outdoor indoor patio setting and dogs are allowed! read more

We dropped by on a Sunday afternoon and found that brunch was the only option - but the brunch menu was fantastic! Avocado toast was topped with microgreens, bacon, and poached eggs and served with a side of grits. Grits were perfectly done, not drowned in cheese. Biscuits and gravy was so much more: fried potato hash (including greens, peppers, and onions) and scrambled eggs made it a super hearty meal. Beer selection was ample: about a dozen on tap, with several local selections: Wiseacre, Memphis Made, and High Cotton. Prices were reasonable and the space was clean and inviting. The outdoor seating area is really lovely - plenty of tables, both in the sun and in shade. Live music was a nice touch. Everyone was super friendly. read more

I have to say that the food was great. My daughter and I went here to have lunch because I wanted to try something new. With that being said I have to say this: at this price point I feel that I should've had a waiter, should not have had to go all the way inside to the bar to get my drinks and refills and most importantly shouldn't have to had to wait over an hour to get my food. This place is a whole vibe. Just a few changes could make this place 4 stars easily. Also the auto gratuity actually messed up the tip that would've been left if everything went smoothly. read more

Hello fellow Yelpers! I've been away for a while, but I'm back!! So I was turned on to this new hipster joint in the industrial area. At first glance it looks a bit daunting, tucked into a hill. As you walk to the door the first thing you see thru a window to the right is the kitchen. Very clean and well organized. You're met at the door by one of the staff with a great smile and directed to a table. The libations ordered and brought to us in record time along with appetizers. Sorry, no pics (they were devoured instantly). The burgers were cooked perfectly. A very good experience at this restaurant all in all, good vibes, layed back atmosphere and good food. What more can you ask for? read more

This spot is new to the Downtown area! The structure of it is so unique. When you walk up to it, you will be surprised to see what is on the inside. It is the coolest sports bar that I have seen. The patio/backyard area was the feature that really got me. It is a very eclectic area that has it's own separate bar that you can order from. On to the food, It was soooooo good! They had a promotion going on for Memphis Burger week. I had the Carolina Burger combo and it was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The drink I ordered was good as well. Y'all be sure to give them a try! read more

While visiting the Civil Rights Museum, upon leaving stopped to get a few turkey legs. Ordered 2 turkey bowls, Momma's Spinach and Auntie's Mac and Cheese bowls. Out of the two the mamas mac & cheese bowl was the best with Tennessee whiskey glaze. The spinach casserole bowl was a bit salty and quite a bit of spinach for my taste. The seasoned fries were very good. The business is large and clean. Not much business on a Tuesday, mid day so I was happy to see them open. There is spoken word at 7:30p so nice to see entertainment is back and alive. Appetizers and pizza also available. I would recommend because the turkey was tender and tasty. read more

GREAT OUTDOOR SPOT! Rarely does a place have both Great Atmosphere & Good Food! This has both! Pros: + Atmosphere. Unique. Like taking an old silo & converting it into a fun (yet small indoor eating) place. + LOVE THE OUTDOOR AREA! Includes plenty of covered tables, stage for live music, games (like corn hole & ax throwing -a great game with alcohol, right? -LOL!) & even a small WATERFALL! +Great place for after-work or other socials (outdoors -when Memphis weather is good). +Eating inside the silo is also unique -very cool ... but not ideal for large groups. They have tables for 4, but that is not ideal. + FOOD -most things I enjoy. Over the years the menu has changed themes. Currently a "turkey" theme seems to be featured. +Memphis themed food names are funny. +Selection of local beers on tap. +People. Coming here for many years & everyone is always friendly & inviting +Music. There is always something jamming on the speakers that has my body swaying as I eat. +Clean. Never had any issues. Bathrooms are a bit small, but clean. +Free / Ample parking. Cons: Nothing really to complain about. Simply note: -Small parking challenge. If crowded, you may have to parallel park next to a wall (passengers must get out first). -Inside is really a "cool" design. I love it -eating in a silo. Yet, it is small. You will be close to others & you can hear everyone's conversation (BE WARNED! LOL) -Hours. No longer open for lunch most weekdays. Check their schedule. -Portion Size/ROI. Sometimes I question if the price of the food is worth the portion. Perhaps if I ordered to go, this would be a consideration. But the atmosphere & experience certainly come with a price to keep going (along with inflation). So, I keep coming back! Foods I liked: +Burgers +Pizzas +Loaded Fries (w/ Pulled Pork, Cheese, Fried Egg) -no longer offered? +Spinach Casserole Come try it & Bring Your Friends! It's a nice outdoor experience! read more

We had the 901 Turkey Leg and the Spinach Casserole. Both were good. The food could be served a little hotter. The temperature of the turkey leg wasn't to my liking. This is a cool spot to hang out though. They have a pretty nice bar area on the inside and lots of outdoor seating. You can walk up the steps and enjoy the field area. There was a serious softball game going on when I was there. You can also bring your dog with you too. read more

This restaurant has helped to change the fabric of Memphis dining in this part of the downtown area. You park on the street along an industrial strip. When you walk inside, you will see an open and active setting. Tables wrap around the edge of the silo-shaped restaurant with a large circular bar that allows for great people watching. The brunch menu had something for everyone at our table. I got the short rib hash. It was delicious and super filling - like I could make four meals out of my one order. The ambiance is amazing and when the weather warms up a little, the outdoor seating area is going to be an incredible hang out spot! The staff is super pleasant and attentive. The place was packed on their first weekend and I expect it to be packed daily. They even have lunch! read more

BABY!!! Them STUFFED TURKEY LEGS are to die for! I had greens and Mac and cheese in mines.

My niece from out of town and I visited the watershed. I thought it would be a good place for an afternoon snack for a minor. We were greeted right away and received our drinks promptly. We found some good seats in the shade and received our food in a timely manner. I ordered the pimento cheese for sharing with my niece and she got the burger. I enjoyed the pimento cheese which had a good texture and zing. The accompanying chips were tasty too. She enjoyed her burger. While there, we walked around to visit the attractions on the upper level and played horseshoes and shuffleboard. She was underaged for the axe throwing. Overall, this is a good place for friends, family, and food. read more

This is my second time here. I most recently discovered it when the BlackPrint group had a meet up here. I tried the RedBone Turkey Leg - Buffalo Style with Mac & Cheese. I forgot to get a picture but it was good. My husband & I went today for Sunday brunch but missed the brunch menu. We arrived around 1:30 PM. We ordered from the regular menu and everything was delicious. We also still get mimosas. I enjoy it most for the outdoor set up. It's relaxing and chill, several ppl had dogs with them. We pulled out our laptops and got some weekly planning done as well. read more

I had no idea this little gem existed so close to my apartment. I am so glad I got to visit this awesome place with some of my best friends. This is a calm, peaceful, family environment. In the main court yard there are several waterfalls, a big stage where they have live music, walking trails, and a huge bar outside with chairs all around it. Jamal was the bartender and took super good care of us.. even though we were a rowdy bunch! The food was out of the world! I had the Greek Pizza and also sampled the stuffed Turkey leg with dirty rice and Alabama sauce on the side! Amazing.. I also had them make my special spring drink. Crown Royal Apple, soda water, and a splash of cranberry or pineapple juice. It's crisp and refreshing.. perfect for a nice afternoon cocktail. read more

My recent visit to Redbone's Turkey legs at the Watershed was to get the new burger. They have a cook grilling the burgers on the patio. All I can say is this has to be one of the best cheeseburgers in the city. Next time I'm going to try the "lamb burger". read more

Cool spot to hangout with friends. Drinks are cold. Nice shade with cool waterfalls. Pretty chill place for a Sunday afternoon. I wouldn't say it's the best hangout in Memphis but I didn't hate it. Not much going on the day I came so that may have something to do with my so so feeling. They have gone to great lengths to make sure you don't feel like you are in the city. So I think it worth a second visit. I think Memphis is cool and this adds to it but doesn't take away. read more

Tonight was a $30 open bar free food. This is what they call an event worth $30 the food was absolutely disgusting. Look at the chicken!!! It's grey and slimy. The fries were covered in salt to the point that they were inedible. The chicken skewers were slimy. The "open bar" was a vodka punch and sangria. The vodka tasted like taaka vodka. The cheapest vodka you can buy and it shows. They only offered these two drink choices that both tasted awful and not worth the money. Carolina watershed fix this!!!! It is not worth the money. I'm so disappointed in them as this place is usually good. read more

Do NOT go here if you have an allergy!!! Not worth dying for. To summarize my experience, I paid for a $10 burger, was forced to pay a 20% gratuity, explained my fatal allergy to shrimp twice, waited 30+ minutes for my food, and upon the first bite had a reaction. On top of that, no staff members came to check on us the entire time (even when I clearly only had one bite taken out of my meal). Then I left so that I could get more medicine (since my mouth and throat were swelling--my allergy causes asphyxiation). I got no refund, no safe food, and no act of concern from the staff. The only thing I did get was charged for the food and a severe allergic reaction. I have emailed the owner about this, but unless something changes, do not go. The person who took my order said that they would tell the kitchen, but clearly something went wrong as I am still recovering from it. Do not trust the food if you have an allergy to anything on the menu, as it will be cross contaminated regardless of request read more

I stopped by on a Friday evening, around 6p and was pleasantly surprised the place was still pretty empty, based on previous reviews. However, the service and staff were great around this time - very attentive and friendly. There is a center circle bar area and table seating surrounding the bar. Drinks - moderately priced and great cocktail combinations. I am eager to try more next time! Food - the menu is extensive!!! You will never run out of things to try. An additional plus is the price!!! I got a BIG grilled cheese sandwich with chips for ~$7. Amazing. So full after this plate. ALSO - the mini pickles that come with the dishes are DELISH - the brine is a sweet vinegar but has such a lovely kick to it. Pulled pork cheese fries - order this for the table! It is HUGE - couldn't finish the whole plate splitting amongst 3. Will def come by more often for food and chill! Oh, and brunch!!! read more

One of my favorite places to brunch in Memphis. When the weather is nice I love to bring my dogs and just sit and listen to the water falls while I'm eating. The atmosphere is something you can't really get anywhere else in town. They are only open certain days of the week so check before you go to make sure they are open. The service is always great and they have walk up bars if you just want to grab a drink if there happens to be a wait. My favorite thing on the menu is the chicken and waffles. The waffles melt in my mouth and the chicken pairs so well with the syrup. You have to visit Carolina this spring for brunch! read more

Excellent once again! Mac does a great job running this restaurant. I love the architecture of the restaurant (silos) and the menu theme is even connected to the restaurant's name. Grabbed lunch here with a colleague the other day and it was incredible. I had the turkey & smoked provolone panini with a side of their DELICIOUS Brussel sprouts. The sandwich was hot and meaty. The Brussel sprouts were sautéed in a maple and bacon glaze that made them spectacular. My friend had the Brussel sprouts and cheese grits and said they were both great. read more

Food is good but was there 5/28/23 some things was not so good , I didn't understand the way some food was served , like it had a line in sitting area that some paying guest (me included) would stand in to pick up your ordered food , just wasn't normal in most restaurant and I couldn't adjust too I think that need rethinking Also with that day in a holiday weekend they seems not prepared for the influx of that many guess I know while I was there they had to shut down new orders of food to catch up with those orders that had already previous place (lucky I didn't get in that situation) Also this particular evening was "reggae night" multiple bands I think, good groove , I appreciate that , $15 cover charge I thought was decent but here was my problem , they had vendors selling goods that is closely related to the reggae culture in the seating area and those vendors took up alot of the seating that were available for guess , I personally felt a lil uncomfortable sitting , I guess I need to get there early read more

I've been hearing the buzz about this place, so my husband and I decided to take the venture downtown. This funky idea of a watershed, holds true to the gritty vibe of trendy Memphis. We ordered the pork rind Nachos for starters, and found that they we an interesting twist on the typical tortilla. Creative and tasty! The pimento and fried green tomato sandwich is delicious. We loved the outside atmosphere, with a couple of local musicians strumming out some tunes, and the ripple of the waterfall in the background. My only complaint would be; invest in "Mosquito Joes! The poor bartender was being eaten alive and so were we. read more

THUMBS DOWN Hubby and I do something called Sunday Funday where we try to find a place we haven't been to and have brunch. Friends of ours had gone to Carolina Watershed a few months ago and said it was "ok but nothing to write home about". We decided to try it out yesterday and see if maybe we would think about writing home about it. It looks unique and inviting as you drive up. We found a close parking spot and walked up and toward the back where there is outdoor seating. The atmosphere is fun and casual. We both love dogs and venues where you can bring your dog and we saw three or four there. For the size of the place it was quite busy. We found a small table with two chairs that was available among picnic tables and some other seating. The furniture was so rickety I was afraid to sit down without the fear of falling to the ground. After sitting there for 15 minutes and feeling sorry for the lack of wait staff who were obviously slammed, we never got acknowledged. We decided to go in the bar area to see if we could just get a drink. The bar area has a circular bar with seating all the way around and there are high top tables with those uncomfortable square metal bar stools. We chose to stand at the bar and the bartender did acknowledge us and said, "I'll be with you guys in just a minute" and then didn't return as we sat there for 10 minutes. A waist of at least 30 - 40 minutes. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We felt really sorry for the servers who were working their tails off and we tip more when we see them trying so hard to keep up but we have to be served in order to tip. I was hopeful after seeing the good reviews that this would be a place we could make a regular stop but that was not the case. We won't be returning. read more

This was a serious disappointment. First we walked in and it smelled like sewage (10:30am) - more than likely an issue with a grease trap. There were multiple signs stating "order from a bartender" but there was no bartender in sight. We walked out to the back courtyard where there were employees but not one made eye contact or greeted us. The DJ also just blankly stared. Next I walked upstairs only to find a private party reserved the outdoor area. We walked back through the inside bar where 2 more male employees were busy talking to each other then walked the other way when we got close. Needless to say we left at that point. We moved here from out of state and are trying to find our new local spots. The concept seemed unique/cool but the service execution was beyond sub-par...it was lacking altogether. On a happy note we did find Majestic Grill and had a wonderful brunch. They have EXCELLENT service, yummy Benedict's and $4 mimosas and blood Mary's. read more
