    Apple Martini
    Taran W.

    Was traveling from Nashville, and stopped at IKEA in Memphis. My wife and daughter wanted a decent burger from somewhere, so I started looking up places. Memphis Mojo Cafe pulled up with good reviews for the food. Saw the one bad review for the Apple Martini, so decided to get it just to try it out. Looks just like the one he complained about colorwise. Admittedly, the bartender let me choose my own vodka, and he told me that their pucker was "wonky"...so guessing maybe that is what the change was from the obviously super green normal green apple pucker. It was good and strong, so no complaints from me or my wife...and their burgers and fries were delicious and filling. Saw other people's food being brought out, and everything I saw looked good. The ambiance is definitely "dive bar"...but I'd go back and try different items in the future.

    Philly Cheesesteak with Provolone

    I was just in Philly for work. This Philly was better than most I had there. Burger was also freaking delicious on a five guys level. Prices are really good and so are serving size. 10/10 would recommend and will be back.

    When I first discovered MoJo's they were in my top 3 for burgers I love the smoked burger (smoke Gouda cheeseburger) it comes with candided bacon idk if it's a different staff or what but the last few times the food has not been as good I asked for my burger to be well done it had pink throughout it where I was having to pick it out I found 2 pieces of hair on my tray one near my fries and one near my burger I know it was not my hair because my hair is curly and these were straight strings then I went to the bathroom it smelled bad and the bathrooms were dirty then the icing on the cake was when I came back from the bathroom I saw the cook putting buns on the grill with his bare hands no gloves so I'll be taking a break on them for a very good while

    I donno.

    Memphis Mojo Cafe has some good looking pictures of their food. Sadly, for me, no corn nuggets again. Probably for more than a year, my browser shows they close sometime around 6:00pm. But it's not true! I just got off the phone with them. They said that they close a 9:00pm. They didn't sound like they believed me when I mentioned that a Memphis Mojo Cafe website with their address stated that they were closed. Yasss, as we were speaking. At that point in time, I believe that I was informed that I didn't pull up the right website or something equally as hilarious. Talk about the Mandela effect. Maybe someday, I'll be in that parallel universe, and finally get to check out them corn nuggets and that #17 burger. But for now, I'm stuck with pulling up, Mojo's alternate universe websites, where I can't seem to get to their main menu. Seems like, I'm in some sort of paradox loop. Whenever, I click on menu from the about page, that has appetizers, page, I get sent back to the appetizer page (I'm on the wrong website anyway. Therefore, it doesn't exist). I'm just realizing, that I have been in a about page to appetizer loop for a whole year. It's all coming clear.

    List of items they don't have.

    The food here is really good, when they don't run out of ingredients. I've been here three times and two of them they were out of a list of items. Tonight is no different. No French fries, no Bleu cheese, no turkey, no chicken, no bell peppers, no sliders.... I would recommend a particular burger to try, but there's no guarantee they can make it if you ordered it. If you do try them out, definitely get the mojo fries (or tots if they're out of fries again). They really are amazing!

    Cheeseburger and fries
    Elayna D.

    Great food and service is consistent. This time I ordered a cheeseburger and fries via Uber Eats. I was very hesitant to do so because well...it's delivery and I didn't want cold food. I got lucky because my food arrived hot and fries were still hot( that's the most important). I haven't been here in a while, but I must say it was as I remembered and I noticed my driver was at the location waiting for the food to be prepared, so I knew it wasn't just sitting there waiting to be picked up. Definitely would recommend and although I ordered thru an app this time, I'd rather go pick up in person or dine in. The fries were good and not salty. I know the pic looks very salty but whatever their seasoning is, is not just seasoning salt like most places. The burger I should've requested medium or medium well but, it was still good, just a little too done for me. Bun was nice and soft and the burger came with cheese, I think slivers of onion, pickles, mayo and mustard. Not sure if that's standard, but I requested mayo and pickles. Either way the toppings went well with the burger.

    Monster Burger ( 2 patty burger)
    Jesse M.

    My experience at Mojo Cafe has been delightful and memorable. Someone close to me offered to take me here because of how much they enjoyed their previous visit. When we walked in a smile formed on my face due to a rush of nostalgia. Where I was raised, spots like this fed families looking for a quick, but delicious bite that felt closer to home cooking than some fast food chain. In general, the burgers were fantastic, the sides well seasoned and the service was welcoming. Food: -The person who recommended this place spoke highly of the burgers; so naturally that's where my eyes focused when I began to scan the chalkboard menu. I was quite hungry and quite excited so I asked the cook what he would get. He mentioned the fan favorite to be a 6oz single patty burger with bacon, aioli, and gouda cheese. He also mentioned that the monster burger was great for an empty stomach after a long day. Candied Bacon Burger (no aioli): -The burger I had can only be described as a dream. The first burger on the menu, aka the fan favorite, had me thinking about the restaurant for days. It was known as the Candied Bacon Burger. The single patty held the perfect amount of juice which trapped all of the seasoning and beefy goodness. The crust around the patty was sort of similar to a smash burger in its crust. The star of the show, however, was the thick candied bacon and gouda cheese. I'm not sure who came up with this idea, but they deserve some kind of award. The bacon added a delicate sweetness which made the burger stand out and it was only further complimented by the more intense cheese selection. The sweet and savory elements stopped each other from getting out of control and I loved it. The following day I microwaved the leftovers which reintroduced me to wonderful sensations I got to experience while spending time here. Monster Burger ( I think that's the name): -The monster burger was the only sandwich to feature two patties and had grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, mustard, and spicy aioli. I ordered onion rings as a compliment and waited only a short while for my meal. At first glance, I knew the food would be good because I could see the spice blend on the onion rings which told me that they care about the small details. I took a bite of the onion rings first and they were simply well-executed and delicious. I then took a bite of the absolutely hulking burger and closed my eyes to enjoy its aggressive flavors. The patties were so juicy while also having that beautiful crush from the griddle. The bun was soft and the flavors all worked really well together. By the end of the meal, I was more than full and felt that it was more than worth the price. My only critique is that I personally felt that it could have used a tad less mustard and a little more salt. I can't really complain, he said it was meant to get me full and that's what it did.

    I have heard quite a few people praise this place so tonight I headed over to see if the praise was justified. Well, in a word, yes. They make a great burger reminiscent of a burger that you woukd find in a drive-in restaurant. I also opted to make it a combo and opted for tater tots. For my burger i chose the bacon pimento burger, the fact that they blend the pimento with smoked gouda adds an extra dimension to my burger. The tater tots were nice and crispy. Something else that I was warned about, it was a bit pricey for a burger. My third pound burger, tater tots and a drink was about thirteen or fourteen dollars. A bit high when it came out in a takeout container. It was a good experience and i would not hesitate to head back there. It was a decent experience and good food.

    Smoked Cheeseburger and Onion Rings
    John S.

    A burger from Memphis Mojo Cafe has been on my burger bucket list for years. I decided to start with the popular Smoked Cheeseburger. The burger patty was larger than I expected, was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly (medium/medium well). The gouda cheese added a unique tang that complemented the slight sweetness of the caramelized onions. The chipotle aioli rounded out the toppings with a tinge of smoky heat. The bun was glistening and did a great job of holding everything together. As an onion ring aficionado, I found the panko-breaded onion rings to be quite amazing. They were just crunchy enough and cooked well. The breading was much more flavorful than your average onion ring. I look forward to returning to Memphis Mojo Cafe to try some of the other enticing burgers on the menu

    Smoked cheeseburger and seasoned fries.
    Jordon B.

    I door dash Memphis Mojo Cafe on Friday 06/10/2022. I had the smoked cheeseburger and seasoned fries. The seasoning on the fries had the right balance, so that it wasn't too much. When you take a bite out of the smoked cheeseburger you can just immediately taste the smokenes of everything from the patty, the cheese, and the bacon.

They're always cooked fresh to order, served piping hot, and incredibly juicy. The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Our server Becky was very friendly and helpful. The place has tables and chairs and high top tables too. The bar is dark but they do have some picnic tables near the entrance for more light. Bathrooms were clean and had a lot of personal signatures and art. I am going to return to get a different kind of burger.
