    Went to our usual spot, Clancys! I saw the Big Tae special on their Facebook and had to try it! It was smoked brisket and bbq sauce on mac and cheese. It was delicious. If you see it on their specials, definitely give it a try. As always, the service and staff were great!

    Smoked Brisket

    I've been back here many times now and it's just getting better and better every single visit! The duck and sausage gumbo is freaking fantastic! It seems to be a little different each time but that's just fine because it is so damn good! I think it's due to age and temperature mostly. Gumbo changes a good bit over time. I have to start buying this by the gallon and freezing it! Brisket!! Holy crap I found a place with good brisket. Last time, I just ordered, and got a mix of fatty and lean, I wished I'd have asked for all fatty because it was perfect! I'm not sure how he does it so well with such little volumes of people dining here. Onion rings are the best I've ever had! Perfectly cooked and honestly the best breading I've seen in the onion ring game. Check out my picture of that salad. Ridiculous! Catfish is great! Breading is right on and they cut the fillets up smaller so they are nice and crunchy. Ribs are fire, be sure you get them dry, sauce onside... They are really, really, really good! Pulled pork... done very well... even the BBQ sauce is special. I dig the "hot" version! Free fucking Hushpuppies!!!! What else do you need in your life??? Nothing! The onion jam is Charity's jam!! She loves it! Oh yeah, almost forgot... Don't get caught leaving this place without a piece of cake either. Even if you don't want it now, get it to go and I will accept your donations later. The Hummingbird cake is phenomenal. This place is seriously legit! The owners name is Tyler Clancy, I finally met him last night. Please support him so he never leaves. That's right, I am selfishly asking you to drive your ass here and give him money so I can continue to eat here forever!

    So nice to return to this local, re-opened-opened, restaurant. Covid set them back, but they have returned just as good ... if not better than ever ... So glad! You won't go wrong stopping in here -- whether buffet or off- the-menu. You can't go wrong!!!!

    Clancy's Cafe is amazing!! They have a variety of food to choose from on their posted menu. This walk-in to be seated, hole-in-the-wall kind of place has great food and a relaxing environment. The small grandchildren were able to play in the country playroom, Clancy's Kids Corner after eating to keep them occupied while the adults finished their food. I would definitely recommend!

    Clancy's Cafe is this out of the way family owned restaurant in Red Banks MS. Short drive from Memphis. Bout a 20 minute ride to the country. The friendliest ladies in town. Tender and juicy beef brisket.... Seasoned catfish and fries. Senior menu pricing as well. Super Delish -Chocolate Cobbler- and Banana Pudding. Service is fast and complete. Quick chef in back whipping up all the vittles of the day. Lunch and dinner menu. Big and spacious cafeteria seating, that would be good for a group. We will return we frequent this quiet area very often!

    BBQ Nachos... do it.

We arrived when they opened so we were seated immediately. Our party of 2 was seated at a table for 8 but ok. We had a nice view of the pond. Our side salad came to the table before our appetizer. We ordered fried pickle spears as an appetizer. They came out PIPING hot and were good. The salad was pale lettuce, a sprinkling of cheese and 1 cherry tomato cut in half. It was a pathetic salad but even worse was that it was served in a red plastic bowl. I know that I may be different but I don't like to eat out of plastic. I'm not sure why they couldn't put it on a plate or in a real bowl. My ribeye was good. It had a great flavor and was cooked perfectly mid-rare to order. My husband ordered the larger ribeye. He ordered his medium but it came out medium rare. He didn't want to send it back so he kept it. He doesn't care for the texture of mid-rare so it was a struggle for him to eat it. What made it worse was the gristle running through the whole steak. There's no reason for a quality ribeye to have gristle in it. Overall, the service was good. The restaurant decor was very outdated. The music was so loud that we couldn't hold a conversation across the table. We probably won't be repeat customers.

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!

In a small town, I usually expect decent food at best--something reheated off a Sysco truck. Instead, this place completely surprised us. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We were told the food is prepared fresh daily and the menu can change, which explains a lot. Portions are huge--we actually ended up sharing plates just so we could try more items. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. The staff was happy to talk about what they've tried on the menu and what they recommend. There's limited outdoor seating, but if the weather cooperates I definitely recommend grabbing a table outside. From what we saw, the inside looked very clean and well kept. This has officially become our new weekend meetup spot. We're already going back this Saturday, and I plan to keep trying something new until I've worked my way through the whole menu. One last thing that meant a lot to me: they allowed me to bring in my sugar-free root beer. Since that's the only beverage I drink, that little bit of flexibility made the experience even better. Highly recommend.

It's like if Cousin Eddie opened a place on the inside. I am not hating. I am just saying. Hell, I kind of dig it if I am being honest. It's like a flea market blew up in there in a way. I hope I am painting a good picture for you. I am not going to be a complete asshole and talk too bad about the unfortunate dental situation with the server we had both times, but it's less than ideal to say the least. It has to be painful. Poor thing. I do realize it's Old Towne Olive Branch and you only have places like SSB, OBPC, AIP, and a Sonic to really choose from. Taco truck used to be great, but it's not the same now that it's in the Gin. So it's almost a food desert, C had told the place sucked when she tried it with her Mom when it first opened. I kept telling her that it was getting 5 star reviews over and over. So I convinced her to give it another try. My first, her second, visit was actually promising and I had some pretty high hopes of finding a local place to come grab a meal without driving to Collierville or Memphis. We started with the Eggroll/Wings combo. Forget the name now, but it was funny. The wings were pretty damn good. Fried well. Spicy buffalo was all too common, but good nonetheless. The Eggrolls were ok. Basic Reliance brand type stuff. We both had smoked meats on that visit. I had the ribs, and C had the smoked chicken. My ribs were fantastic! Chicken was good too. Beans were not for me, too sweet and thick. Corn Nugz were fried hard and perfect. I am a sucker for corn nuggets man. Slaw was out of a bucket. Baked potato was hard, cold, and old. Meats were either the star of the show here, or I was extremely high already. I don't remember. They did have Killer Hogs white sauce, even though it had expired unopened. Ugh. My second visit was terrible. Everything sucked. My food, C's food, all disgusting. I am pretty sure that what they are serving is NOT catfish. The Hushpuppies were cold and hard and the corn nuggets were underdone and sucked too. The cheesesteak thing was bad too. Just clumped up nasty. Server said the turnip greens were "great", but they were not. No seasoning to speak of, no meat or fat of any kind, just kind "soulless" if you will. We could not leave fast enough. Then our server disappeared like forever. We went to the front and stood at the registers for close to 10 minutes before another server comes and lets us pay for the food we did not eat. Two stars for the smoked meats. Won't be back though. Have fun in OB. Pack a sack lunch. '25 99/111
