You know those restaurants you visit for the first time, and they make you realize how badly most places are loafing it? This is that place. Burgers? Sure, but what if they were spiced up with chorizo, or buffalo sauce, or sweet chili sauce? What if the onions were bourbon-smoked and caramelized? What if the bacon was candied? What if the cheese was hand-smoked? What if the bun was savory and seared on the flatiron grill the way it used to be before folks got in such a hurry? What if the potato chips were hand-sliced and seasoned and came out of a fryer instead of a bag? What if burgers weren't the only thing on the menu? And what if all those dishes were designed from the ground-up with take-out in mind? This is that place. Go see for yourself. You'll be back. read more

There is no question in my mind that he serves up the best hamburgers I have ever eaten. Hands down without a doubt. Not to mention the fries, tacos, and other amazing things on the menu. Yea, it's in the gas station on the corner of Houston Levee and Walnut Grove. It is very hard to find and you may have to ask the gas station clerk to get them if they are busy but it is without a doubt the best burger you will ever eat. The attention of detail of each meal is stunning. He is a fantastic chef and should be lauded by all. You owe it to yourself to go in and give it a try. read more

Tried the new location on Houston Levee. It's in the gas station at the corner of Walnut Grove. First- super friendly, laid back folks. The one table in the place was full so we had to take ours home. Ordered the Jim Candy burger with upgraded fries. I made the mistake of opening the to-go box to look and sample one of the fries- fatal mistake! After demolishing them in the parking lot because I couldn't bear the thought of not having the crisp/salty/savory deliciousness piping hot - I quickly drove home to scarf down the absolutely phenomenal burger creation! 10/10- will be back!- Collierville (ish) needed this place! Seriously, really good grub that has depth of textures and flavors. read more

Julia Child speaks facts. And now I have found a restaurant I could eat at mmmm, every day. Steph, we're not worthy. What an amazing menu you've created! My tongue is still tingly from the tantalizing and mind blowing mixtures on lunch today. The Jim Candy and upgraded fries have ruined anyone else's food for me forever. The hubs proclaimed that the Stevie Chicks sandwich is hands down the best chicken sandwich he's ever had. After too many attempts to get in your walk up counter kitchen, I will count it joy to finally get the opportunity to nosh on your creations! Dude- your place's name can't be improved in how accurate it is to describe the flavor sensation: it's RAWKIN' good!u read more

I have never gotten Friday night take out from a gas station. Until today. I had heard good things about Rawk N Grub so I decided to take a chance. I went with intention to get tacos for my spouse and a wedge salad for both of us. When I arrived they were out of wedges. I quickly regrouped and went with fried green tomatoes since they were another vegetarian option on their menu My order was prepared quickly and I was on my way. My spouse and I typically lean towards healthier options so this was a stretch for us. His blackened shrimp tacos came with fries (cringe) but of course he ate them. My fried green tomatoes had a remoulade sauce and blue cheese crumbles. We both thought our dishes were overly seasoned, but, I guess that is an individual preference. I would go back - for the wedge read more

When we travel to new places we like to use sources like yelp and social media for photos to get a reference of what the food actually looks like. We can better decide if it's for us or not. That's how we found this place. Of course when we drove up and realized it's inside of a gas station convenience store we were a little apprehensive. We decided to go in and take a look and decide from there. We were so glad we decided to give this place a try. The menu is off the charts! If you're a local this is the kind of place you go to over and over and never get tired of because there's always something new to try. We ordered about 5 things and every single item was delicious. My guess is that you probably can't go wrong with anything you order. To top it off the owners are absolute gems. They were kind and helpful with narrowing down menu items for our taste buds. The chef told us they used to be a food truck, as Cali Bay Area natives we are of course obsessed with the food truck craze and the new and inventive way chefs are being creative with food. We will be sure to visit again before heading back to Cali. And it's a good thing we didn't judge this place off of location like some of these other reviewers did! If you're looking for a place where the chef isn't afraid of breaking down boundaries with food and providing good service, this is your place! read more

RAWK'n Grub is the perfect place for someone looking for adventurous flavors. We tried Bat Outta Hell meatloaf sandwich and Misgrits shrimp and grits. The meatloaf was perfectly textured and deliciously seasoned, lightly coated and fried till *just* crispy, but still juicy inside. It came with a side of Sweet Thai Chili Coleslaw that left us wishing we ordered an extra side of it. The blackened shrimp and grits were both cooked to perfection, and the combination of tomato chutney and gouda cheese blended brilliantly for a flavor explosion that I've never experienced while eating grits before. We will definitely be back. Amazingly delicious food, perfectly portioned for the price, made with love and served with care... your tastebuds will thank you! read more

I always try and support local businesses, especially restaurants. That being said, I don't like to rate my 901 eateries too harshly, because I KNOW ppl are trying. I found Rawkn' Grub on Facebook and after checking out the pics/reviews on yelp I HAD to be there for dinner that night. The food looked delicious and even more creative. I was all in! I didn't map it out before heading there because I know the highland area pretty well. However they are located more on the Summer Ave side. Obviously I got turned around lol I'll admit once I saw it was off of Summer my excitement waned a bit. I NEVER eat from establishments on Summer, don't ask me why it's just a personal rule. So I make it to the gas station and go in to place my order. There's really not a sign inside so it was about 30 seconds of awkwardly walking back and forth in the store trying to make sure I had the right place. Ok so y'all...I ordered a half order of blue suede fries, half order of philly fries, the fleet wood Mac and cheese, and a bbq slider. I really wanted to love everything plus the lady taking the order was super nice and accommodating. But I just couldn't get into it after seeing the person that took my order and my money fix my food without a hairnet. She had a ponytail pulled back but still. Idk maybe it's just me. The food ended up being fine,definitely not what I expected it to be but I wouldn't say that I didn't like it. Would I give it another try? Probably if I was at an event where they had the food truck. I'll more than likely try a burger. read more

I stopped in Rawk'nGrub after a cold afternoon of volunteering at Overton Square. RnG was recommended since it was nearby. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I received great service. I imagine at night, it's probably a loud bar scene. I noticed a band setting up. I was one of a few patrons at the time. The bartender was knowledgeable and allowed me to sample the 420 Strain Chocolope Stout. It was grreeaat, so I purchased a pint. I told her I was looking for something to warm me up and she suggested the "Missgrits". That was fantastico! Oooh, the grits were so warm and cheesy. The sauce that was used to meld those flavors together just got my engine revving. The shrimp were large and plentiful and every other ingredient just created the perfect harmony. It was a great value too for the price. So skip some other place that's charging upwards of $30 for shrimp and grits. Just head on over to Rawk'n Grub! read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting from Texas and were suggested by some local folks to eat here. No regrets. I did not want to breathe while eating my sandwich. I had the daily special Ribeye Love and I was absolutely blown away. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and each bite tasted extremely fresh. My girlfriend had the veggie burger and adored that as well. The fries were wonderfully seasoned and had a nice kick as well. I know that next time we're visiting Memphis, we're making this a sure stop. read more

For some reason, I had never tried shrimp and grits before today. Had the Rawk'n Grub version. Excuse me. I need a moment alone. And a cigarette. Rawk'n Grub is a one of those Memphis gems hidden away in a gas station convenience store. It's the kind of place locals love to brag about to visitors from out of town. Chef Steph knocks it out of the park, AND his employees are all gifted cooks/chefs in their own right. (Too often the cooks just don't understand food, or at least, don't understand what the chef wants. Not the case here.) I am totally addicted to their food. There, I've said it. I am. Just don't anyone DARE do an intervention. read more

I decided to try this restaurant on my lunch break and I am so glad I did. Chef Steph was so sweet. I don't eat pork, chicken, or beef so I was able to customize my po'boy without the sausage! The portion sizes are huge so you definitely get more than you pay for! The pictures are attached so if you are in the the area, stop by. The food tastes as good as it looks!

Chef Steph Cook never ceases to amaze me!

I love the fun style of his food and everything I've had there packs a punch with flavor. Get his trademark candied bacon on anything and everything you can and do not pass up on his insanely good burgers, sandwiches and blue suede shoestring fries! You will not be disappointed! read more

Just go! Just had the Bat Outta Hell and Stevie Chick. Read the description of the Bat and thought no way that will work, but it was recommended so tried it. Glad I did. Was just one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The Stevie Chick was great, but was what I expected. Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

So I am lucky enough to have Food Truck Friday's at my job and had the chance to try Rawk' n Grub. I ordered on the specials menu and got the Patti La Melte ( beef pattymelt with caramelized onions, smoked gouda pimento cheese, melted american cheese on wheatberry bread) with candied bacon and a side of the fried fleetwood Mac. Let me just say my burger was huge. I wasn't able to finish it all and had leftovers lol but I must say that it was well cooked, flavorful and tasted great. However, I was not a fan of the fried fleetwood Mac. I found it to be extremely salty. I even tried the Blue suede shoestring potatoes that my co-worker ordered. I though they were okay but I also found them to be salty. My co-worker ordered on the specials list as well and ordered the flaming lips burger (smoked gouda pimento cheese, diced jalapenos and applewood smoked bacon stuffed inside an 8oz patty and garlic aioli on a brioche bun. Her burger was massive as well lol but she really liked how flavorful it was. If you want a burger that satisfies your hunger, Rawk'n Grub is the place to go! read more

Everything on Steph Cooks menu is crazy delicious! We started off with the Fried Green Day Tomatoes & I swear to anyone reading this that there is not a better fried green in the city (possibly the world). They come out crispy & hot, drizzled with oven roasted tomato remoulade, then they're finished with house smoked bleu cheese. We followed up with the Missgrits. It's bourbon sticky spiced shrimp served over Local "Grit Girl" Gouda grits, then they are topped off with scallions & the house smoked bleu cheese. Every bite was a religious experience. We also shared the gumbo. It was a wonderfully spicy, roux based wonder teaming with shrimp, chicken & sausage. For dessert we had fruity pebble encrusted chicken tenders (yeah, you read that right) & the Al Green egg rolls filled with perfectly prepared collards, bacon & kimchi. Crazy delicious. Food porn at it's finest. Please do yourself a favor & go now!!! read more

I may not be a Phish fan, but -much like their Ben and Jerry's namesake ice cream - I LOVE Phish Tacos. I had a chance to grab them up while Rawk n Grub was at Ridgeway Loop one afternoon. The lady who took my order, graciously chose the tacos for me as opposed to the chicken sandwich. I was debating between the two and she assured me the tacos were a home run. She was SO right! There were 3 tacos chock full of blackened catfish, coleslaw, and black eyed pea/mango salsa. Black eyed peas on fish tacos you say? I was kind of nervous. Plus cilantro lime crema on top? It all sounded like way too much going on, but the ingredients work in perfect harmony. The catfish was tasty and the slaw wasn't overdressed. Fresh and satisfying! I can't wait to try the burgers! read more

We will be back for a million other things, but also glad to see they are adding a tuna salad so I don't feel like food coma every time... But it was worth it! read more

I run a dinner group called foodiememphis and we recently had a gathering at RAWK'n Grub. I can't describe how wonderful Steph the Chef (That's just fun to say) was to our group. Not only did he create an incredible meal for our party of 11 people, but he came out introduced himself and explained each appetizer, entre, and dessert we were eating. This restaurant is in a bar, but don't let the bar scene fool you. Steph and his staff are producing some AMAZING food in that bar kitchen. I'd hold up the quality of their food against any "Fancy" restaurant in town. I can't recommend this place enough. If you are looking for a great lunch, give this place a try. If you are looking for an unpretentious place to host a party, give this place a try. If you are looking for a kick ass meal, give this place a try. Basically I'm saying...GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY. It is the quinticential hole-on-the-wall restaurant where looks can be deceiving. I was going to take pictures of their food, but it was so damn good I couldn't wait to eat it. Don't let my lack of photos sway you against going to RAWK'n Grub. You will only regret not going. read more

I finally went to try the food after all these months, telling myself to go try it. His burgers are quite possibly the best kept secret in town. He seers his patties so they are crunchy on the edges. The bacon and onions are phenomenal. While this location closed, rumor has it, it will be opening again at a better location. I will be there on opening day, and will be sure to loosen my belt two notches. read more

Welp, I found it. It's the absolute best burger in Memphis. I'm really picky about burgers because sometimes they're just not seasoned well, but boy oh boy. I got the Jim Candy to the Rescue. I usually don't like bacon on my burger (judge me), but this bacon was beautiful. It was sweet and a little salty, and it was thick. It just paired so well with everything else. Everything felt like it was just really fresh. I can't rave enough about this deliciousness. The fries are also awesome! Can't recommend this place enough. read more

This is a fun spot for lunch. The food was really good. I liked the pinball machines.

Stalked this food truck to try their stuffed burger version of a jalapeno popper. It was totally worth it. The inventiveness of the menu item names is well matched by the execution of the aforementioned menu items. Their French fries come with a sweet/hot shake on them. After chatting with the chef/owner and his two co-workers, I was ready to try one of everything on the menu. The next time I found them at Overton Park, I had the Banh Me Jovi, based on Steph's previous recommendation. Now I'm hoping to catch up to them to try the Seth I Hear You Calling. read more

This food truck is great! The art on the truck is fun for starters. The burger I had was amazing! Cooked perfectly and a good size burger (8 oz I believe). Seasoned so well and alittle pink inside...just perfect. Pimento cheese was on this one and it was flavorful and creamy. Added a lot to the burger. The star was the candied bacon! It was so good and the flavor held its own with the rest of the burger. Delicious! Sides I tried were really good. Fries were crispy and the seasoning was really good. Cole slaw was really nice and you could tell it was home made with purple cabbage, carrots and other ingredients. The people running the truck are so nice and they came out and chatted at one point. Highly recommend you track this truck down and try some food. read more

If you want truly unique twists on the most delicious food, THIS is your place! I've followed Steph for years, from the food truck in 2015, to now. His shrimp and grits are legendary (my fave!), any of his craft sandwiches are things to write home about, his house made chips with smoked blue cheese and candied bacon....I could go on and on, but you get the drift. It's an absolute must in Memphis whether you are just visiting, or you're a local regular, like me...just GO! read more

Do not let the location fool you - this place is cranking out some serious eats. Steph has got something going on that looks like it will become a regular take out spot for us. Today - actually a 2 days ago- we got the following: he got the I'm Just A Po Boy, blackened shrimp topped with friend green tomatoes and a tasty sauce piled on a locally made hoagie bun. He didn't speak, he just made Mmm Mmm sounds. I got the ZZ Tapas - grilled shrimp on corn tortillas with Sweet Thai coleslaw. NOT your typical tapas but a flavorful mashup of Thai and Mexican flavors. Three come with an order and Chef is genererous with fillings. Both orders were very filling. Order the chips - cut potatoes fried in house. He made one order of chips in the style of the Blue Suede shoestring fries - toppings of candied bacon, a house made sauce, and smoked bleu cheese. Oh my they were a taste explosion. The smoked bleu cheese dressing alone is worth it. My husband normally hates bleu cheese - this dressing changed that. Food is made to order and drinks are from the gas station area. Definitely going to eat our way through the menu here. No seating but hey - take it home so you can get messy and nap afterwards. read more
