    First time back in a number of years, and it was a good experience. Staff welcomed us in and we found a nice diverse menu. Burgers were good, as were the fries and onion rings. We would definitely come back!

    This was our first visit here. We came on a Wednesday around 1230. It was busy at all. When we arrived you could sit wherever you wanted. Our waiter was pretty quick to take our drink orders. They have a pretty broad menu; burgers, pasta, seafood, bbq, Tex mex. They also have lunch specials and a full bar! I ordered the catfish basket and my husband got the southwest egg rolls( which are only on the lunch menu i believe) Our food only took about 10 mins. Everything was so hot and fresh just the way i liked it. I will def be back!

    Amazing grilled Classic Chicken Sandwich with Swiss and bacon added onto it.

    I was a little iffy about trying this place based on the older reviews. But I can tell you this, the new owners are doing great things. What an absolutely fantastic lunch. Service was fast and the food was great, what more can you ask for. My coworker had the catfish and LOVED it. As a matter of fact she plans to stop by on her way home in the future for carry out. Oh and she told me the onion rings were phenomenal. I had a grilled chicken sandwich and asked to add chicken and bacon. And it was great. I wasn't sure they would accommodate me but they did! And you could tell the bacon was super fresh. And they season their fries so that was good too. This will become a go to place when I'm in that area.

    Looking locally Hubs recommended and I'm glad that he did Good to go meal flavor taste great job! Order: French Dip sandwich Fresh fries Sandwich fresh Hot full of flavor yummy cheese Fresh well seasoned hot fries I do plan on trying something else from this business and getting it to-go as well. Hubs and I are returning customers. Keep up the great work!

    16+ dollar  "Sidecar  Club" couldn't  even separate the lunch meat.fries weren't  done. They were warm in the center  but mushy.

    The food was lousy see attached picture. This a $16 sandwich with cheap crinkle fries that were soggy in the center . It took over a half hour to get this and a Cascadia. I shall never darken there Dore again.

    Great experience. One girl as bartender & waitress and killing it. Keep up the good work!

    Cajun pasta with chicken... so good!
    Kristen G.

    First time coming here, although I pass by all the time. I must say it was delicious!! I got the Cajun pasta with chicken. It came with a slice of garlic bread. It was just spicy enough to feel the heat but not overwhelming. The sauce was creamy and a little soupy, but I didn't mind because the flavors were on point. The chicken to noodle ratio was a little off in my opinion. Tons of noodles and probably just one small chicken breast. The husband ordered the breakfast hamburger or whatever they call it... he said it was good and maybe even better than the one at hueys. We also got a side of onion rings which came out very hot and slightly on the greasy side but still very tasty. Overall a great dinner. Most likely will stop back by again!!

    Fun hole in the wall spot next to the Harley-Davidson

    I can't actually rate this establishment. It's a hole in the wall. We happened to be next door and decided to eat here. The food was pretty good. The ambiance was fantastic. But the only reason we stuck around was that they had the right games on TV.

    I wish I would've taken a better photo of the catfish, but we all devoured before I could. So yum

    Decided to try curbside (Due to Covid). Got crawfish with sides and a couple catfish plates. Sweet girl delivered out to my ride and put in the back of my SUV so no contact. Crawfish were great!! I like spicy, but not everyone in my house does. They were spicy, but not overkill. Juicy, as well! Catfish plates. Generous portion of catfish strips along with sides and coleslaw. We ordered crawfish bc 2 of us in the house are low-carbing it. What could one taste of catfish do?? That ONE taste turned into us low- carbers that hadn't cheated in a couple mos, eating several strips each! That catfish is fire!! Order it when available! (Not sure if its on the menu all the time) Did I mention we also ate onion rings perfectly crispy on the outside and battered to perfection?? I'm sure those weren't on my eating plan, either....The cheat meal was worth the carbs. Now I'll go back to eating protein, salads, and cauliflower everything, but I'm trying to decide what to try at Sidecar for my next cheat meal. I know this place is known more as a bar, but don't neglect the food being served! Go away, Covid bc we are looking forward to more cheat days in our future at Sidecar!!

    I was a little hesitant about going but I must admit the food was good. The waitress was very friendly and helpful in our decision making. You got a nice size Proportion for what we order. It was seasoned really good. I definitely would go back again.

Absolute main-character energy. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy.

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.

    While visiting Memphis for the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend, I was looking for a local spot to…read moregrab a few extra carbs for the race. The front desk at the hotel recommended this spot, and I couldn't be happier with their recommendation. Cocozza sits on the far end of a strip mall, but has adequate parking in the front, and additional in the rear of the property. Visiting on a Friday evening, there was a small wait and all seats were full. However, I was able to find a vacant bar seat. Steven made a great gin martini, and fave me the rundown on the menu. I decided to start with a Caesar salad, followed by Bucatini Alla Enzo for the entree. Until today, I hadn't had the pleasure of trying bucatini, but this unique pasta might just be my new favorite. It was just the right portion of pasta with a wonderful garlic sauce accompanied by fresh mushrooms and peas. I grabbed a piece of lemon cheesecake to-go, and gave my seat to a waiting patron. As I visit Memphis often, I am really looking forward to visiting Cocozza again to try other items on the menu. Great service! Great spot! Great food.

The downside was that on the first visit, I didn't know you could sub out the "pencil points" that come with each entree. When you don't modify this, you get the points in a red sauce. Meh. The veal piccata is always my go-to on a menu and this is hands down one of my favorite piccatas I've ever had. With pasta in the garlic sauce in lieu of red-sauced pencil points... chef's kiss. The appetizers are also great and my husband raved about his. I don't remember what he ordered, but it had a salad on top that was delightful.
