Am I invisible? I sure felt like it inside this business. Despite being the only customer waiting at the counter for service and there being 3 employees behind the counter. They talked to one another and laughed but no one greeted me, told me they would be right with me, or asked for my order. I studied the menu and knew I wanted a bagel and a coffee but after about 5 minutes of being ignored I walked out. They obviously didn't want my money. read more

Employees need to make a better effort to connect with the people standing in their cafe trying to order coffee on that dumb kiosk they apparently force on you. Coffee was OK, but the bagel, egg and bacon sandwich was very lacking. A couple tiny pieces of very, VERY limp bacon were hiding under there. Had to seriously look for it. Didn't look at all like the images I saw posted by other customers. The bagel tasted ultra-processed or something. I was expecting better quality. And don't believe what it says in that kiosk. They don't have some of those things. There were a lot of employees kind of standing around but none seemed interested in helping us place the order which took way too long and felt like a lot of work and was super irritating. I said I was "ready" after looking at the digital menu (which switches out way too quickly) and the employee pointed at the kiosk. Seriously.... I'll stick with French Truck and Jo Jo's Espresso. You can go in there and actually talk with the employees and order like a normal person. They don't hide from you and talk to each other. The two stars is for the coffee, not the service or food. This place is way too impersonal and employees need training on customer service. read more

We stopped here because we needed to get some coffee on our drive back to Houston. SO glad we did - this coffee shop is SO cute. The location is quite small so it probably wouldn't be the first place I think of if I wanted to meet up with someone. They had a decent amount of seating, but not much. Their outdoor patio is nice as well - love all the blue! Nice pop with the black color of the building. We went with their sea salt caramel latte after it came highly recommended from one of their baristas. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. It was so yummy and not overly sweet. Love their cups and overall vibe - I'd come back. read more

I love me some Ugly Mug. First of all- a coffee drive through in Memphis that's not Starbucks?! Yes please!!! I will literally drive 10 mins out of the way to grab this before heading home. They're in a great location, too. I love that they not only roast their own beans (to perfection), but they do double strength drinks and special milks or toppings at no extra cost!! Their soy milk cortado is my new faaaav, so good. All of their specialty drinks are, too. I also recently tried their cubano- SO. GOOOOD! To be a drive through coffee shop, they made an excellent sandwich. Ugly Mug is the best!! read more

Eeeep! Go go go! What are you waiting for? DON'T GO TO STARBUCKS IF YOU'RE IN TOWN. I visited Memphis 2 months ago and found this gem. Local coffee shop, interior design is as the name suggests which is über adorable and fun to gaze through as you're sleepily sipping your coffee. Staff is incredibly spunky and friendly. I believe I ordered a latte and egg sandwich, reasonably priced. Coffee was delicious and I believe you can order coffee from different countries, if you're ready to spice up your morning. I cannot recommend this place enough. I went twice during my short 2 day trip and raved about it to my friends wishing we had something similar in Miami. GO! read more

I should've taken a picture of the chalkboard with the sandwich of the day. I like cutesy things like that. I told the guy in the drive thru that this is my first time. I'm looking for something hot and sweet so what does he suggest. He suggested the full moon latte. And checking out the website, I understand why this is the most popular drink. It's sweet but not overpowering. The butterscotch really sets it off. I'll definitely be back to try more items. Check them out if you haven't already! read more

Roasted: the name of this place intrigued me and was hoping to get my coffee out of an ugly mug by coming here. It's a small coffee shop with a drive thru and about 12 seats inside. There are ugly mugs lining the cafe which are a nice touch to the name. The service here was great - they were very friendly and engaging. They asked if we were staying here or not and was expecting my latte to be in a mug but I was disappointed when it came out in a paper cup. The latte was good - I would drink it again but wouldn't necessarily seek this place out again. Latte was missing art and the foam was very bubbly. Unroasted: very small shop with very friendly staff. Love the ugly mugs all around. I got excited about drinking my latte in one of them but sadly we did not. We ordered bagels and she did ask for here or to go but we didn't get a mug option. I guess it's just easier to make in a to go cup. Latte was pretty good and didn't need to add sugar. I would recommend this place for tourists who want an cool concept and a decent coffee. read more

As I'm typing up this review, I'm cursing myself out for not coming here sooner. I've lived in Memphis for nearly a year and today happened to be my very first time at Ugly Mugs. Everytime I drive by, there's a long line, making me skip over. Anyways, up early on a bright sunny Sunday, I stopped by when it opened up. One customer ahead of me. Waited a few minutes for my iced black mocha. Muffin on the side. One sip made my day. It's that damn good. Perfectly made. No flaws. Just so yummy. This place should be on your list of must go's in Memphis. Even if you're a tourist staying in downtown, find a way to come here. A billion times better than Starbucks! read more

They are a busy place. It was good, but definitely overpriced for a piece of catfish, grits and 4 shrimp. I added the shrimp to determine which I'd like more. It's the fish... do the fish and grits! Don't be hardheaded! ;) Hmmm... food is good, but very overpriced for the portion and experience.

Unfortunately my egg Benedict came with the eggs being soft boiled rather than runny. Other than that, it's decent compared to the other outlet.

Lemonade lavender cocktail was the hands down drink to try! Very nice

My sandwich was very good! $10 is pretty fair for what I got. I loved the sauce, the meat was also really good. The tater salad was AMAZING! I'd get a large of it everytime I eat there if this was a local place for me. The meal was a solid 9/10 If you're in Memphis and you want some good BBQ made with heart and soul, then you should try Elwood's. The only thing missing from my meal that would've completed it for me was some hot buttery cornbread. I'll certainly be back to try their ribs and other foods!

I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

Sunrise Memphis

Driving from Oklahoma City to Maryland sounds absolutely insane (because it kind of is), so when we…read morefound ourselves passing through Memphis around lunchtime, I turned to my trusted Yelp experts to help us find a local gem. Sunrise Memphis did not disappoint. We stopped in around 12:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and didn't experience any crowds or much of a lunch rush. That being said, after eating here, I completely understand why people mention waiting hours on weekends. The ordering process is simple: walk up to the counter, place your order, grab a number, and seat yourself. I appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch all day because it meant we didn't have to choose between the two. I ordered the chicken tenders with tater tots and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave in the middle of a long road trip. Kyler ordered the Kitchen Sink, which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and a biscuit. He asked if he could swap the cheesy grits and biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and they ended up bringing him everything anyway! It was a massive meal, but absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also loved the fun, eclectic atmosphere. The colorful Memphis touches throughout the restaurant gave it so much personality, and there was even a bar area that made me think this would be an absolute blast for brunch with friends. Sunrise Memphis ended up being one of our favorite surprises of the entire drive. If you're passing through town, do yourself a favor and stop here.

This place is quirky with its decor but on point with the food. Get the bacon! Always get the bacon! I'm still dreaming about it! Be warned! We were told during busy times, the line stretches around the building for a steady 8hrs at a time! May the timing of your visit ever be in your favor!

Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant

THIS FOOD IS DELICIOUS. And the service is great. Just eat here…read more We passed through on our way home from Storm chasing and I just picked a place on Elvis Presley Blvd. I chose wisely! The ribs are wet BBQ, not dry rub. Meat fell right off the bone. I didn't even have to pick it up - just used my fork. My friend got the BBQ chicken - we both bought barbecue sauce in the gift shop after this meal! It was so good. The potato salad - excellent. Fries - excellent. But the star was the mushrooms - they are whole and come in their own gravy. If you are from New England, get the mushrooms AND the fries, and enjoy them together just like old school fries and gravy. Pure decadence! Our server V was too fabulous. She knew the ropes and served us so well we even got a photo with her afterward. Super great tourist spot with good food - totally worth it!

The food and coffee was so delicious. I wouldn't say I'm a food snob, but I'm particular about breakfast foods, and this made me very happy. We each ordered a coffee and the bacon potatoes to share. I ordered the Juniper Benedict and my friend ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy. The bacon potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft and slightly crunchy with plenty of cheese and bacon. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and they used a regular house-made biscuit that soaked up the egg yolks perfectly. The restaurant was pretty big, but the ambiance felt like a small-town diner. The staff was super kind and attentive, too. The cost is par for the course for a nice diner in a big city. TLDR: Not a bad word to say about this place.

THE FOOD & WINE At $65 for a 5-course Chef's Tasting Menu and $35 for the wine pairing, it is a good value. We started with a tasty carrot coriander amuse-bouche from Chef Nate, followed by: * Georges Banks Scallops: Served with tomato gelatin, cured kiwi, and crema. Paired well with a crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. * Sweet Potato Tamale: Topped with spiced mayo, avocado crema, and charred cabbage. The spicy jalapeños and radishes added a bright kick that paired nicely with a blush-colored, floral Pinot Grigio. * Elysian Fields Lamb Cubano: A rich, complex dish featuring lamb shoulder and a fantastic touch of lamb heart (marinated for a week in adobo). Fresh arugula and pickles offset the richness, and the toasted focaccia was an amazing match. Paired with a medium-bodied Grenache that cut through the rich flavors. * Acadian Redfish: Charcoal-grilled with a creamy crawfish hollandaise and light-bodied potato crisps. This is the chef's elevated take on his mother's fish and chips, and it had a nice balance of oil and salt. * Dessert: Finished with a strawberry ice cream terrine and a decadent six-layer carrot cake that was moist, intense, and packed with pistachio crème. * We had a robust 2015 St. Emilion with a medium/heavy body, nice tannins, and age! THE SERVICE * The service was highly attentive, friendly, and earns a solid 4 stars. Sam, the sommelier, was knowledgeable and shared his insights on the pairings (he noted the 3rd and 4th courses were his personal favorites). Special thanks to Daisy for helping us with our first visit, walking us through the tasting courses, and recommending local places. * Because the restaurant ambitiously rotates its tasting menu every 2-3 weeks, it is harder for the staff to keep on top of the tasting menu details (compared to their regular menu items). OVERALL Overall, a fantastic 4-star experience. The culinary creativity and the beautiful dining room make it highly recommended!
