1 Star - We Came for Dinner... We Left With a Story…read more My girlfriend, my mom, and I came to Dale's Restaurant in Southaven expecting a nice dinner. What we got instead was an unexpected exercise in patience. When we sat down, the place wasn't very busy, so we figured service would move along pretty smoothly. Unfortunately, our table seemed to be skipped multiple times. It felt like we accidentally sat at the "invisible guest" table because staff kept walking past us and forgetting what they were supposed to bring. While waiting, they brought us sweet tea and cornbread muffins. Now listen... I like sweet tea as much as the next Southerner, but this one was so sweet it felt like it skipped tea entirely and went straight to syrup. If hummingbirds ever open a restaurant, this would probably be their house drink. The cornbread muffins were an adventure of their own. They were very dry, spongy, and unusually sweet -- almost like someone confused cornbread with dessert. Imagine expecting cornbread and getting something closer to candy. That's the closest description I can give. The atmosphere didn't help the situation either. The vents above the dining area looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while, the walls felt bland and lifeless, and several tablecloths were torn. Along the bottom trim where the wall meets the floor, it looked like there was some serious wear and possible moisture damage going on. After waiting long enough and tasting what we had, we decided to call it. I spoke with the manager, who did apologize and told us not to worry about the bill, which I appreciated. That was probably the best part of the visit. At that point we decided to leave and find dinner somewhere else. Nick's Final Bite: We came for dinner... but left with sweet tea syrup and a cornbread identity crisis.

Well this weekend we gave them a try for breakfast and so glad we did! We are now going to definitely go back for dinner sometime soon! We went on a Saturday morning and it wasn't too busy. I just love the Christmas town at the front entrance. I was in "awe." We were seated right away. Our waitress was very attentive and all the waitresses did coffee rotations so we were always good on drinks. The food... delicious! The fried potatoes were cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. That gravy was just like I make at home and perfect. The biscuits were nice and the monte crisco was the best we've had! Really, our only complaints are the rice grits, they just didn't go with the meal well, and that my omelette was supposed to have chorizo, but they did sausage instead. Not a huge deal because it was still good. Try their breakfast out! We'll be back for dinner.

The atmosphere was nice, the service was great, and Tyler gave us some really good recommendations throughout the night. The Voodoo Salmon was the star for me -- the sauce was so good! I just wasn't a fan of the shrimp being placed underneath the salmon. My husband ordered the Catfish Pauline Blackened and it was good, but not something we'd rush back for. We skipped dessert this time , but we did try the Margarita and Mai Tai cocktails. Overall, the food was solid and we'd rate the restaurant a 7/10. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Never again. While…read morethe food itself was good, the service was among the worst I've experienced. We ordered tacos that were brought to the table without plates. After requesting plates, silverware, and napkins, none of those items ever arrived, leaving us to eat without basic utensils or proper place settings. We also ordered water and were told there would be a charge, which was fine--but the water never came. Unfortunately, that was only one of several service issues we encountered throughout our visit. Good food can only go so far when the overall dining experience is this frustrating. Based on the lack of attention to customers and poor follow-through on even the simplest requests, I would not return and cannot recommend this restaurant. Save yourself the disappointment and choose another venue.

Their parking is $5 which isn't bad for downtown. When you walk in, you are welcomed with good music, good vibes and a dreamy blue light that makes any skin look good. (Think Belly, ifkyk). 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.

A small establishment but with a quality and service of a large restaurant. The customer service was welcoming and inviting.

My husband and I had the Gringo Burger, and Bistro Burger and they both were scrumptious! We also had the chicken rolls with their special sauce which was also very good and tasty. We are looking forward to returning back to this little gem and exploring the other foods on the menu. We highly recommend BT Bistro. Enjoy...

It was also great seeing Memphis natives doing something positive and creating such a good experience for people. I'm already planning to come back within the month and bring my mom with me. We'll definitely be back!
