    Mostly breading

    Well I guess I'm the only one who didn't like the food.. I'm from the south and this isn't what I consider home made. Ordered several items including catfish, mac and hush puppies. Wasn't in love with anything

    Times

    Wanting to try this place. Times are incorrect on Yelp and Apple Maps; unfortunately the second time I came (first time I came is when I noticed the time is listed wrong, so came back during the time listed on the door) - unfortunately they were having issues with their system and only taking cash at the time, which I did not have any on me. Staff was very friendly and helpful in the time I was there, unfortunately did not get to try any of the food, but planning on coming back in October and will be making another attempt at that time

    Excellent food that reminded me of when I lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast! The location was a little confusing...you enter one door from outside....to the left is Memaw's and to the right is a bar that serves pizza and burgers. Really enjoyed everything we ate...highly recommend the mac n cheese, hush puppies, Fried Chicken and Gravy, Shrimp Po-Boy and Jambalaya. The sandwich was fairly large with a generous amount of perfectly fried shrimp and a tasty remoulade. The crisp fried chicken was accompanied with a delicious mouth-watering gravy that was to die for. Loved the complex flavors in the jambalaya that also packed a good amount of heat. Finished off the meal with a wonderful Chocolate Peanut Butter Hurricane frozen dessert that had a delicious brownie crust at the bottom, creamy ice cream, crushed cake and peanut butter cup pieces topped with a wonderful homemade whipped cream. We spoke to the owner and Miss Stephanie when we came in. They were so friendly and you could tell they took great pride in their cooking. I hope the restaurant will be successful!

    Catfish Nugget Combo, Jambalaya, Hush Puppies (8)

    First time trying this place. We ordered to-go and everything was great. The Jambalaya was our favorite and we will definitely be back if we are ever craving it. The hush puppies aren't dense at all and also delicious. I love when hush puppies are fluffy rather than dense. The fries were also great. Our least favorite was the catfish nuggets but even they weren't bad (just outshined by the other great food). Our friend got the chicken pasta and also said it was great! We will be back. Only annoying thing is that they charge $2.50 for a couple packets of Frank's red hot sauce and tartar sauce. I would understand if these were made in house but it seems a little odd to charge so much for packets (like ketchup packet style) especially with how much food we ordered.

    Catfish was very soft to eat seasoned just right. The sauce was amazing garlic sauce especially. My first time having sweet potato cornbread and it was moist tasty and the butter sauce chefs kiss. About that chocolate cake lord baby Jesus that was the best cake I ever had. Thank you guys for a great eating experience.

    Shrimp Grits with sausage

    I truly enjoyed eating here after work on Saturday. The Greeting from Diamond was very pleasant and she explained how to order from their kiosk and also made suggestions. I ordered the catfish nuggets and their shrimp & grits. I also decided on banana pudding for desert. When I say everything was freshly made and I LoVe the fact that their catfish nuggets were not salty. I will be back and Chef KB don't change a thing. Diamond keep giving that Great Customer Service and I'll see Y'all again this Thursday for some more Banana Pudding. I certainly appreciate that you offer your own homemade Tartar Sauce... Thanks IG for sharing this Restaurant!!!

    Gumbo, Hush Puppies

    THE BEST GUMBO IN LAS VEGAS! I lived in southeast Texas for a couple years and I was taught how to make gumbo and I ate a lot of it. This is Louisiana gumbo! It has the smokiness, the sausage, chicken and I added grilled shrimp. Yum! I wanted to try as much as I could. I ordered the hush puppies, earls chicken wings, sweet potato cornbread, and dirty rice. Also had the banana pudding, delicious and homemade! Everything was amazing. The dirty rice and gumbo were my favorite! So much flavor! The young women helping was amazing! They have a kiosk to order but she took my order. Beautiful pictures on the wall too. I don't know why this place was empty at dinner time. Come here! The prices are great too!

    The chicken wings, catfish nuggets, cobbled corn, gumbo, cabbage, green beans and gumbo had that distinct NOLA flavor Was good meeting chef KB and Diamond who took care of us. In about a month, they will be having a smoker set up to smoke some turkey wings, sausages and delectable meats Looking forward to the additions to an already great menu Hella bomb food for sure

    Delicious feast

    Where has this place been all our lives?! After reading all the amazing reviews, and realizing this was so close to home we had to try it. Unfortunately, it is in a strip mall and hidden away, so if you are next to Chris's place it is the door Attached to that. The location is convenient and the inside was very cute. Granted, we were the only persons eating there. There were a ton of takeout orders coming and going. It allowed us to get to know the owners better, and the daughter was named diamond and has a twin sister named Jewel . Her parents have been partners in this truly southern creole experience. We literally ordered everything from the chicken wings which were outstanding! To the gumbo, which was absolutely delicious to the shrimp and grits, which knocked it out of the park. I have to admit, there was no heat to any of the food, but I was grateful for that you can add your own accordingly. We will definitely be back over and over again!

    For a long time I've been missing the food of the New Orleans. Having not been able to get back since before the pandemic, I dream of it. And this little place with the unassuming entry has a new customer for life. The place is super welcoming. But that isn't what we are here for right? We ordered shrimp and grits, jambalaya, hush puppies, and fried cabbage. We also tried the warm brownie which is magically not too rich. It super chocolates. The shrimp and grits was cheesy, saucy, and flavorful. The jambalaya was also flavorful, perfectly portioned, and nice proportions. The hush puppies were nice and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. And the cabbage was delicious. Can't wait to come back for more. I'm eyeing the po boys!!

    Shrimp Grits
    Nik G.

    Was in the mood for shrimp and grits but didn't feel like driving anywhere. To be honest I only ordered food from here because they had that on Uber Eats. I had low expectations but this place was absolutely delicious! I also ordered the catfish with red beans and rice and cabbage. Everything was seasoned to perfection and authentically flavored! Next time I'll take a drive over to the restaurant. I'll definitely be having this again.

    #JamersonEATS @ Memaw's Gumbo in Las Vegas. We arrived 45 min before closing so they were out of a few things we thought about trying but baaaabaaaay, what we got was what we were meant to have because it was !!! First things first - the young lady that took our order was a sweetheart. She gave us a thorough run down of the menu and helped us decide on what to order. Next, the portion sizes were great...enough for hubby and I to share. And finally, everything we ordered was fresh, hot, seasoned well, and tasted delicious! It's a gumbo spot so I was counting on the gumbo to be on point (and it was...literally a party in my mouth) but the chicken was a great surprise...the wings were fried crispy but still juicy, and a decent size. They tasted just like my momma's fried chicken -huge compliment. The seasoned fries were alright and would've been better with some extra seasoning. Nonetheless, I would definitely return - maybe within a day or two

    good here is great! flavors are on point and absolutely loved the garlic cheese bread since it actually had a nice pungent garlic flavor. i will say i do wish it was a tad more crispy since i like a nice crunch to my garlic bread, but still taste great. overall food quality here is amazing and would recommend off a nice bite to eat. service is great, the women who took my order was insanely nice and patient. food came fast and hot as well. the inside was pretty chill most people seem to order online and pick it up so there wasn't many people sitting inside but it's still nice in there. great experience and would visit again!

    Hush Puppies (8) you get 4 in the combo meal

    My friends and I decided to try this BBQ restaurant yesterday. We were in for a real treat! We had…read morefrito pie and corn bread for an appetizer. The taste of the frito pie was just fantastic! The corn bread was sweet and moist. We were 5 hungry men and ordered the Pa'La Familia platter with ribs, chicken, & brisket. We also added a pound of hot links and some barbacoa tacos. For sides we had brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, cole slaw, and beans. All of the meats were moist and tasty. I didn't need to use any extra sauce as the flavors were amazing without adding anything. The sides were also excellent. The brussels sprouts were my favorite. Our server was very attentive and came by several times. Even the chef came out to check on us. Of course we had to try dessert and ordered the banana churro cream pudding and the red velvet flan. Both were very sweet and a delicious way to end our meal.

    First time I came here with my bf it was five stars! The Brussels sprouts had me hooked! The male…read moreserver was friendly, attentive, and the food was amazing. We over Tipped 20% and told everyone about it. So I decided to bring a larger party this second time and celebrate an early Father's Day and get my fix in with Brussel sprouts. This second time, our service was HORRIBLE. The female server didn't talk, didn't give suggestions when ordering, didn't refill our drinks--- unless we got up and asked, she slammed plates on our table, looked annoyed, didn't ask if we wanted desert or anything. I was trying to figure out what we did or if we upset her but as our service went on my family and I noticed we weren't the only ones being treated this way.I then seen her leave a small desert on the table next to us, before they could tell her it was a mistake, she walked away and the table looked at us and asked us if we ordered desert because they didn't. We all laughed because we were treated like crap and it was really weird that we all were like well, maybe she's having a bad day and just enjoy the food. I seen the desert sit there with the table next to me for 10 mins and the people at the table didn't touch it. Then a male server walked by and they flagged him down by telling him the desert wasn't there. My whole family witnessed the male server pick up the desert, walk to the bar and ask the female server that was annoyed and whatever words they exchanged, all I know is that he turned around and walked the desert to another table and sat it down. That made me sick because it should have been switched out. I'm disappointed because the food is so good and I know the cooks in the back are working their tail off to only have the servers ruin it. Whatever is going on please get it together because the food is so good. But seeing things like this and having horrible service, is a NO FOR ME!

Usually it's just to fly out of Las Vegas for a work trip. This time though, I was in area for the US Post office. Looking for nearby places to eat, I saw that Smoke & Fire was only 10 minutes away! My husband and I stopped by for dinner around 3:30 P.M on a Friday at Smoke & Fire. The restaurant is located near South Pecos Road and East Russell Road. There was plenty of parking spots available. As I walked inside the restaurant, a team member had greeted us and let us know that it was open seating. There were only a few other customers inside the restaurant at the time we had dinner. There was plenty of tables inside and outside the restaurant though! TVs were situated throughout the restaurant. There was a variety of sports games playing. When we sat at our table, the team member brought over menus and asked if we'd like anything to drink while we looked through the menu. She also went through any dietary restrictions and some of their highlights at the restaurant, specifically, Smoke & Fire is known for their blueberry chicken sandwich. There are other options on their menu though, like BBQ items! Meat platters: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Ribs, Hot Links, smoked Chicken Quarters. Sandwiches: Chicken Sandwiches, Brisket Sandwich, Donut Smashed Burger (Seasonal), Sliders Chicken and Waffles, Street Style Tacos, Chicken Tenders and more! After looking through the menu, we ultimately decided on the following 3 Meat Platter: Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork, and Brisket with Mac N Cheese/Sweet Potato Tots The World Famous Blueberry Chicken Sandwich: Pepper Jack Cheese, Housemade Blueberry Jam, blueberry aioli, and Jalapeno. The service was super quick. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes for our meal. It was nice that our meal was served in to go containers as well! The highlight of the meal was the blueberry chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and tender. The blueberry aioli and the jam was scrumptious. This was a first time having a sandwich like this before! I would come back to Smoke & Fire just to get the sandwich. The BBQ pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket was good. I enjoyed the mac n cheese and the sweet potato tots though! I don't normally see sweet potato tots so I just had to try it out! They were super crispy and packed with flavor. The food was yummy here and the service was fantastic! If I'm in the area again, I would stop by Smoke & Fire to have another meal. I think next time though, I am going to have to try out their pulled pork burger!

Unfortunately, it was not as good as the last time I had it, or the many times before. It has always been like a sweet and sour base. This time the soup was very salty, almost inedible. It was served with bagel chips, which were nice and crunchy. I wish I was super hungry to enjoy one of their sandwiches. I saw them coming out of the kitchen looking delicious. Hopefully the next time I visit the soup will be better. I will definitely be ordering a sandwich too. The service was excellent all around.
