The bun was buttery and crispy. The BBQ sauce was chef's kiss. I was not expecting it to taste like that! The meat was nice and chewy and the slaw on top was a nice compliment to the sandwich as a whole. The baked beans were okay and the fries had a nice seasoning and were crunchy and fresh. I can't get over how good that sandwich was. The 5 stars is for the sandwich alone because whew!!! I am thoroughly impressed. I came with a group of friends and our waitress was very sweet and attentive. It's a pretty standard size place with plenty of seating. We went during a non-busy time and were able to try their vegan chocolate cake (we sang happy birthday for another party that was there and that party gave us a slice of their cake) and it was soft and chewy. If you're in the Memphis area, whether vegan or not, this place needs to be on your list. I can't wait to go back :)

I will return to get those chicken wings for sure.

At Good Fortune, order the wings and get you some ramen. You'll be treated with grace and kindness. Get in line to wait. It's worth it. Do.not.leave.without.ordering.wings.

The nacho cheese was spot-on: not too gooey, just the perfect consistency. The BBQ jackfruit was to-die-for and was loaded with an amazing smoky flavor. I ordered the chopped classic burger cheesesteak, and it was everything you want it to be: meaty, cheesy, and packed with great flavor. My wife went with the Fye Junt (Vegan Hot Burger), which nailed the balance of smoky, spicy, and cheesy. It's easily one of the best vegan burgers we've had, and she immediately said she wants to come back for it again. The service was quick, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be returning -- Plant-Based Heat is doing something really special.

We ordered 3 cocktails: Espresso Martini, Bloody Mary, and a Poinsettia. The cranberry juice wasn't available for the poinsettia and they didn't have seltzers, so my friend settled on a Prosecco. I was advised that the Bloody Mary would come with bacon. In the interim, we enjoyed munching on their signature popcorn. However, when it arrived (20 minutes later), it did not have it. I asked the server about it and the bartender quickly rectified the situation and added 3 green olives. My friend that ordered the prosecco thought it was fine. However, the friend that ordered the espresso martini was shocked by the presentation. First it was creamy white in color and the flavor was not quite right. It had an odd twang and not at all reminiscent of a typical espresso martini. My friends ordered the breakfast Mexican pizza and were pleased overall. I ordered the huevos rancheros breakfast hash and it was perfectly portioned and seasoned. Not too spicy and just the right amount of flair. Overall, the food was good, atmosphere was good, service was good, but the drinks were a bit tricky. ***I saved this over my review from over 5 years ago and it looks like we had a tricky time then too

Went for my besties bday party so we were set up in the back in area where they called it the "Garage". It was a very nice space and open up to the outside area too. They did have a bar setup but no bartenders, made drinks in the front. The Food!!!! 10/10 and I will solely keep going for that fried catfish. My whole table had them. 1-2 pieces on catfish each. It's that good. I got some tenders with fries and a side of the spicy honey gold sauce. Best sauce that I had in awhile. Our waitresses Kim & Patrice were phenomenal to us the entire night. Anything that we wanted, we got it. For a Saturday night, they were on point with the service. The Chef also keep checking in on us too and that's something you typically don't see. Going the the bathroom, you can see artwork displayed. The bathroom has mouthwash as well. Perfect for ending the night.

They do have their own lot, and parking was $5 for Genre customers, which was convenient. When I went inside around 4:30, it was pretty quiet--no music or activity--which was a bit surprising since the class was scheduled to start then. Shortly after, a gentleman came up front and let me know the earlier floral class was running over. I was invited to take a seat and given a menu in case I wanted to order while I waited. Ordering is done through a tablet kiosk right by the entrance. I can see how that might be a bit inconvenient if it gets busy, but it seemed to work fine during my visit. I ordered the 1-piece catfish with a side of okra. I was told it would be whole pieces, but it ended up being a large filet--which was still perfectly fine. My food came out in about 15 minutes. The catfish was a great size and fried to perfection--crispy and flavorful. It was served over a bed of okra, which unfortunately was a bit overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. Overall, I'd rate the entrée a 7/10. I skipped ordering a drink since beverages were included with the floral class, and they actually brought me one while I waited, which I appreciated. I also noticed they offer hookah, which adds to the overall vibe. Once the music was turned on, the atmosphere really picked up and felt much more lively. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu and experience it during a busier time.
