We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!

Smiley's is a specialty butcher shop, restaurant and deli that I heard about from someone. They…read moresaid they had one of the best burgers so I went to give it a try. This place was packed for lunch. The sandwiches I saw being made looked delicious. The Smiley cheeseburger was $15.95 and to add fries and soda was $6.95 so almost $25 for a burger combo. The burger was good. It tasted like it was cooked in a cast iron skillet and the fries were shoestring fries. That is my least favorite fry but the taste was really good. The staff was nice and was very efficient in how they ran everything. I definitely wanna come back and try a deli sandwich

The focaccia was outstanding - crunchy outside and fluffy inside with whipped butter - don't skip this. (5) Shrimp cocktail was good, would've loved cocktail sauce instead of the sauce they served. (I could've asked for it I'm sure, I just didn't.) (20) My prosciutto wrapped scallops atop roasted red pepper risotto was divine and as decadent as it sounds. The arugula on top added a fresh crunch and the beurre blanc sauce was light but creamy. I would absolutely get this again. (47) Julia got the salmon oscar featuring lump crab meat atop grilled salmon with asparagus and fingerling potatoes. She said it was delicious but could've used more asparagus and potatoes. (48) We both enjoyed every bite of our meal but thought the prices were on the higher side. We would absolutely return but maybe for a special occasion next time. Parking is no issue, our waitress was extremely kind and helpful. We had a reservation and it was pretty crowded for a weeknight so I don't think I'd brave it without one. We loved it here and will be back!

Before I start my review I pray whomever reads it, it touches you like the food touched my stomach…read more Eight-Eleven is a one stop shop! Lamar and his team came with decor, table settings, plates, utensils, lighting for pictures and an aura that's contagious. The food presentation alone deserves its own review! Trying to be present amongst the presences of others, while getting content was tricky within this situation. It was a "surprise" birthday dinner for one of sister's, so hopefully my photos and videos are given a glimpse of an experience I wish upon everyone's future. Bon appétit? I did so let's get into the courses. Course #1 (Appetizers): 1.) Eight-Eleven Signature House Salad -Everything about the house salad tanged refreshed especially with the signature mixed dressing. 2.) Hot Cheesy Shrimp Spinach Dip with Toasted Bread Points. -The Bread Points within itself was ran through the table about 5x times. It added the crunch substitution for chips. It was toasted never burnt! The Spinach Dip gave gourmet with crispness around the circler perimeter. 3.) Cajun Crab Stuffed Eggs -Do you see the selection of crab meat on top of the eggs? Absolutely no corners were cut and money well spent! *Reference my picture* Main Course: 1.) Rosemary Dijon Seared Lamb-Chops -You're either an expert at lamb-chop making or you're not! These were pan seared not pan fried lamb chops. Which was a smart decision on the chef's part as I was consuming other palates from that course. 2.) Southern Fried Lobster Tail -I'm a saucy gal! If the lobster tail had a tangy sauce such aioli, or some sort on the side, it would have made a world of a difference for me. 3.) Shrimp, Sausage and Crawfish Jambalaya -Jambalaya is normally spicy but not at Eight-Eleven! The variety of meats within the jambalaya was a precise replacement for the piquant taste. 4.) Roasted Broccolini -My least favorite as I don't care for asparagus so the texture reminded me of it. Regardless of how I felt others spoke highly of how it was succulent. Dessert Course: 1.) Pecan White Chocolate Blondie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream topped Hennessy Maple Butter Sauce. -The dessert that sealed The deal! Lamar could have packed that into a pint container and shipped it to Memphis. You could savor every burst of flavor described. It truly was magic in a cup! It might be the first month of February but my new year resolution for the year of 2024 and beyond, personal chef experiences ONLY!
