    Baked chicken

    Hole in the wall local soul food place. Excellent mac and cheese, creamy and flavorful.One of the best ones I have had. Thursday is turkey Wing day with excellent brown gravy. Delicious cabbage and potatoes. The corn muffins were delicious but burnt on bottom but that was minor. Staff and owner were so kind. You will not be sorry!

    Fried chicken, mac n cheese, spaghetti.

    Pretty good place! Lots of options so will have to come back a few times to try other things. Start off by saying that I never would have stopped by if not for the power of people. JUST this morning someone started a thread on Twitter for people to discuss best places to eat in town. Scrolling through the list I made mental notes of options to try. Well, running an errand at lunch heading down 3rd street and out of the corner of my eye I see the sign for Daisy's. Hey wait, I remember reading about them this morning! (Daisy's wasn't on yelp before this). I decided to turn around and grab some lunch to go back to work. Again, I likely never would have thought twice to stop in if not for the twitter discussion. They open at 11 every day (closed Saturday) so perfect timing! It was 10:58. I parked and got in line outside (just a handful of other folks waiting on this soul food goodness). They were running behind and didn't open until about 11:10 I was okay on time but some others had to leave. You order at the counter and the food is doled out cafeteria style, and you pay at the end. I heard someone asking about fried chicken (not out yet) so I asked about how long. Just 5 minutes? Sure, I can wait! Once it was ready the lady called me up to jump back in line (not having to wait until the end). Got some dark meat fried chicken, and spaghetti and mac n cheese for my sides (not healthy at all today). Paid for my meal and headed back to the office. Food was good y'all! Fried chicken done really well, mac n cheese was really tasty, and the spaghetti had a good meat sauce to it. Oh, and good portions. I'm full! There's a decent amount of seating inside. I'd say probably half of a little more were grabbing to go and the rest eating in. A little bit of parking outside. While waiting on the chicken to get ready, the line was pretty busy, going through the lunch rush, but they get you in and out pretty quick through the line. Since they are pretty close to work, I'll definitely be back to try other things. I don't know if it's a place I'd travel to specifically if I was on the far side of town, but if you're close by it's a great option for lunch!

    Nice little causal spot for a home cooked meal. The baked chicken is delicious the sides are passable.

    They were closed with a padlock on the door at 4:30 o a Friday night. Sketchy looking location.

    This is one of the best soul food restaurants in the south. It reminds me of my Grandmother's food so much. I eat there all the time.

    The most delicious meal I've had in Memphis. I recommend studying the menu before you come because…read moreyou'll be asked to order as you enter. You'll pay there and then be offered a table and your food will be brought to you. Your check includes a 15% service charge of course you can tip additionally with cash later if you wish. I've never heard of eating neckbones so of course that's what I ordered. The pork neckbones had been well braised and were super delicious. Truly an ultimate pork experience. You definitely have to pick them up and chew all over. But there's lots of meat. Some of it you can get to with a fork, and some of it can be broken apart for easier access to the meat, but it is not an elegant meal! I found the vinegar at the table really enhanced the flavor. My sides were black-eyed peas and turnip greens, and the greens were spectacular. The corn muffin was very good. The sweet tea was very sweet, but not nearly as sweet as the peach cobbler. The cobbler was delicious with lots of nutmeg, but people really have a sweet tooth in Memphis. I ate on a Sunday and got there just before noon to get in ahead of the after-church crowd and my timing was perfect. The dining room filled up while I was eating.

    Went here at the recommendation of two Lyft drivers…read more Easy walk 0.6 miles from Stax Music, safe. Courtney (see photo)greeted us and took our orders. He chatted with us as we waited at our table for our orders. He served our orders and bused our plates too. He does everything and is very personable providing welcoming hospitality. And he's only worked there for a mere 5 weeks. I asked him who the owner is and he directed me to Jerry and Patrice Thompson, two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Jerry has a big welcoming personality and a great sense of humor. Fried catfish fillets were excellent! Crust was just right and the fillets were moist. I ate everything in my plate. Peach cobbler was warmed up, we opted to not have it w ice cream, and it is the best in Memphis! Such a long and storied history for this restaurant. We are so glad we came here and will return next time we are in Memphis. My only regret is we were too full to eat fried chicken too.

You place your order first and then you find a seat if one is available to dine in. Dining is limited and the establishment consist of local black artwork covering the walls there is an upstairs area, but that seating is also limited. The owner was very proud of his establishment and gave us the history of how they came about and who cooks what in the restaurant. The service was great the food unfortunately did not match. I'm all for supporting black owned businesses, but I have to give honest feedback. Starting with the sides, the spaghetti, the cabbage, and the greens all had excessive amounts of sugar in them, which was such a turn off, everything taste the same it was so sweet it created a film in my mouth of sugar. The sweet tea lemonade mix was again full of sugar. You couldn't taste the lemonade or the tea. It was just sweetness. I do understand certain people like their food like this. I however, am not one of those individuals. The turkey ribs, a.k.a. clavicle bone taste like smoked bologna and the A1 barbecue sauce did not enhance the flavor whatsoever I nor my mother could finish our food the cornbread taste like mush everything overpowered everything there was no distinct taste of broccoli or cheese just mushy wet undercooked cornbread that again was sweet. The only star of the show for this experience was the fried fish. It was cooked to perfection seasoned well surprisingly without sugar. We could not finish our food after a couple of bites so we took it to go and handed it to a homeless person on the way home. I love the concept of this establishment. I love how they incorporate other black businesses and I can tell he is proud of his work. I would love to support in other ways, just not through the food unfortunately, I will not be returning but I pray this establishment continues to improve, evolve, and thrive, it's a million herbs and spices to utilize, sugar doesn't have to be one of them and for $70 bucks I do expect to enjoy the food to some extent.
