Our waitress was nice but as it got busy, it took her so long to come and check on us.

The food was so good I forgot to take pictures. I will definitely be back and I will post pictures next time.

I gave Pier 64 Seafood & Bar a second chance, and unfortunately, it was just as disappointing as…read morethe first. This time I ordered delivery, and the entire experience was unacceptable. The food arrived ice cold, soggy, and completely unappetizing. I didn't even eat it--that's how bad it was. The pasta barely had any chicken in it, which is ridiculous for a chicken pasta dish. The toast was soggy and tasted awful, like it had been sitting for a long time. The chicken wings were even worse--full of fat, undercooked/under-fried, and just plain disgusting. After two tries, I can honestly say I will not be returning or ordering again. Very poor quality, lack of attention to food preparation, and overall a waste of money.

This spot was fine but I wasn't super impressed. The service was fine and fast as we were the only…read morecustomers present at the moment. My husband got a boil with crab and said it was amazing. He got the wings, which were okay but not great. I wasn't in the mood for seafood so I got chicken tenders with Cajun fries. To be honest, the fries didn't have much flavor. I also got a side of broccoli, and when I took a closer look at the broccoli, it looked dirty or maybe even moldy. I probably should have gotten seafood, so next time I will try that!

Every visit to CHAR Restaurant reminds me why it's one of my favorite dining destinations in…read moreMemphis. The crab claws were absolutely fire--perfectly seasoned, buttery, and cooked just right. Every bite was tender and packed with flavor, making them an unforgettable appetizer. The steak flatbread was equally delicious, layered with tender steak, fresh toppings, and perfectly melted cheese. The cocktails were expertly crafted and worth every sip. If you visit during Happy Hour (Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m.), don't miss the discounted cocktails, featured wines, draft beers, and appetizer selections. It's one of the better happy hour values in the city. Char Restaurant +1 Then came dessert--the legendary Butter Pecan Cake. This dessert had to be created in heaven. Warm, buttery, rich with toasted pecans, and paired with creamy vanilla ice cream, every bite melted in your mouth. It's easily one of the best desserts in Memphis. Even better, this masterpiece is also served at CHAR's sister restaurant, Amerigo. From the exceptional food and handcrafted drinks to the polished service and elegant atmosphere, CHAR delivers a five-star dining experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended. Order the crab claws, enjoy Happy Hour, and whatever you do... don't leave without the Butter Pecan Cake.

We visited Char for Easter, and overall, the experience was just okay. Unfortunately, nothing…read morereally stood out. The grits were hard, and the crabcake appetizer came out cold--though the sauce on top had great flavor. None of our food was served piping hot, which was disappointing. The crab claws were a highlight--buttery and well-seasoned. We did have to send our fries back for a fresh batch, and the shrimp and grits were just average. The best part of the meal was definitely dessert--the double brownie with pecan ice cream was delicious and saved the experience a bit. On a positive note, the service was good--Liz was great and very attentive--and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. Overall: decent, but not a standout. 7/10

How in the gash darn hell have I not written a review for The Half Shell Memphis?!?!?…read more I've been coming here since birth. Ok. Maybe not that long. Most definitely since I can remember. My parents had the blandest worst taste for food, so I was a depraved child as far as flavor was concerned. We ate at very blah places and my Mom was the pickiest person in the world, but.... She loved this fried shrimp! So we came here often. I grew up in Parkway Village so we were always nearby. Fast forward to my Yelp days. My first CM, Joelle had a part ownership of this place when I first started Yelping. We even had her going away party here when Yelp ruined the Memphis Elite Program with part time CM's for our city. She was part owner and we hung out there so it seemed inappropriate to write a review. Besides, I knew Danny pretty well too and that was also a conflict. Nowadays it's been bought by the folks that turned Forrest Hill Grill around. They have closed the location on Winchester (which I called years ago) and opened up in Germantown on Poplar. I have no idea who these people are so I guess it's time. I have not been to the new one, but I have seen the menu. I do not have any intentions of rushing to try it. Seems as if they butchered the whole dang menu. Anywho.... I still like this one. It's pretty run down, but the food is still good. It's still the original menu with all the treats. They have a freaking Monte Cristo sandwich folks! I know of less than five places left that still serve them. When is the last time you saw a twice baked potato? Here it is!! They still have a changing weekly, "daily special". They still have an intense regular bar business. Good luck getting a seat at the bar at any given time. Best of all they still have those damn tasty fried shrimp! Oh they are so good! The best ever man. The sauces they serve are great. I've been up and down the menu and it's almost always great. Oysters are some of the best charbroiled that there are anywhere in Shelby County. Long live OG Half Shell! Please never change! '25 - 44/111

We got the Yakamein NOLA Ol Sober noodles dish and the Korean hot chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. I literally felt like I was eating a roast beef po-boy in ramen form with the noodles dish, and the chicken sandwich was crisp, tasty, and well-seasoned. Everything else about our visit? Awful. The service missed the mark on numerous fronts, topped off by the overall vibe that we were inconveniencing her by being there. The music was so loud that no one could hear each other. According to the thermostat at the restaurant, the temperature was 86°, as it appeared the A/C was broken. And the drinks were just okay.

The owner is super nice and even remembers our usual order and preferred flavor, which makes it feel extra special. Must try: ! Corn nuggets (crispy, slightly sweet, so good) !

Crawfish (less salt, garlic butter, 3lb is my routine, 5lb if I'm not on diet) During crawfish season, I could honestly eat here every week and never get tired of it. Tip for serious crawfish lovers: I've heard my friend said Thursdays may be the time they restock crawfish.
