    Home of the Jameson Slushie. It's like a Wiskey Shirley Temple. We had 2 and 1 to go (thanks to the waitress.) I'm not a burger guy and 1 slider would have been fine. They are open on Sat for lunch/brunch which not many places open on S. Main. The building and the vibe inside is good. You may nit even realize there is an inside because the front "lawn" is pretty cool on a great weather night.

    Service was slow. AC was out. Auto gratuity 20% on two bar drink. I always tip at least 20%. You lost me on this one for both locations.

    Slider Inn is a Memphis classic. The food is great and they have a variety so everyone will find something to enjoy! I have visited multiple times, sat inside and on the patio, and watched a variety of sports events. They host a variety of local fun activities like their movie nights in the summer. Great food, great service, and always great fun!

    If I could give zero stars, I would. This place looked really cool and I was really excited to try the drinks and food. We got there around noon and there were a few people at the bar and maybe 1 or 2 tables seated. They told us to seat ourselves so we sat down. The table was near the bar. 5 other parties came in after us and were greeted at their table immediately (some of them greeted at the door, think they were regulars) and served drinks. We sat for about 20 minutes without anyone speaking to us. We finally got up and walked out. One of the servers looked right at us as we got up. Nothing more to the story: I don't know if we had a look; we weren't wearing anything offensive idk disappointed

    Food was just well mediocre... I got the Chickfilayy sliders and they were burnt and tasted like old grease also ordered the Hangover Sliders and the meat was left off the sliders .. they did make it right and corrected it but the food was just not that good ... the server was extremely nice ... this place is great for a couple of drinks but the food not so much ...

    Great dip

    Parking-good luck! Seriously there's no dedicated parking so if you can't find street parking you will need to pay to park. We found a lot that wasn't a bad walk. We sat ourselves BUT our hostess was GREAT! Amazing dedication and kindness being as busy as she was. If this review was just based on her they would have 5 stars. The food was okay. I've been to the Midtown location and it made me want to go back. We had the mixed sliders. I did the shrimp. Honestly wasn't sure it was shrimp due to being fried extra hard and dark. My fries were slightly brown as well. My other two sliders were decent but nothing like I had in Midtown. We did have the spinach and artichoke dip and it was good. My husband said his meal was okay. I did like how the inside was open and bright and I actually enjoyed the music. It was a little loud but I didn't have a problem since the music selection was on point. Would I go back? Probably not but I do say it's worth the visit.

    Just so DAMN GOOD!

    I had a chicken slider, a burger slider, and a pork tenderloin slider. The first two were amazing and the pork just fell flat! The Buffalo chicken slider for real stole the show. Love the vibe here and the space is great. Even loved the bathrooms! Our server was attentive. Everyone who got cocktails or beer loved their drink. It was a good time and I'd recommend checking it out.

    A really cool Downtown place with a clean, industrial vibe! Distressed brick walls, a nice bar, a courtyard, & tv's with sports on. Now to the food: I came for lunch and had the lobster bisque, Shack Salad, and a side of homemade potato salad. All was delicious; salad was fresh, the potato salad yummy in its simplicity (it needed salt and pepper), and the bisque amazing. The server was friendly and said Friday nights they serve fresh fish tacos, along with other Daily Specials during the week. I'm coming back to try their lobster roll (Maine lobster delivered 3x a week). Server said mkt price is $32 at this time. I don't eat red meat so can't comment on the hamburgers but they smell good!

    Slider Inn does the best sliders, of course! I recommend going for brunch on the weekend so you can get the Hangover sliders. They have hashbrowns, chorizo, guacamole, spicy mayo, and they're perfect. I also had the classic Memphis sliders and they were simply delicious. Slider Inn is known for their Jameson slushies, if that's your thing. There is limited street parking so you may have to pay for parking nearby. They also have lots of live music scheduled during the warmer weather!

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

    One of the Worst Customer Service Experiences I've Had After…read moreattending a Pride event and visiting from out of town, my friend and I stopped by Bar Dogs late at night/early in the morning on June 7th, hoping to grab some food before heading back to our hotel. Unfortunately, we were met with one of the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender--a Caucasian woman with a short haircut whose name I unfortunately didn't get--greeted us with an attitude that immediately made us feel unwelcome. Instead of providing friendly service, she was dismissive, impatient, and rushed us through placing our to-go order. She informed us that we could not eat at the bar, which was completely fine. We agreed without any issue and ordered our food to go. However, when my food arrived, I simply opened the container to make sure my order was correct before leaving. She immediately rushed back over and aggressively said, "Didn't I tell you that you could not eat at the bar?" I hadn't taken a single bite--I was only checking my order. Rather than politely clarifying the policy, she continued to scold us and make us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. We still hadn't even received my friend's food, yet she seemed more interested in lecturing us than providing basic customer service. Once my friend's food finally arrived, we left as quickly as possible. As visitors in town celebrating Pride, we expected a welcoming atmosphere and basic courtesy. Instead, we experienced hostility, impatience, and a complete lack of professionalism. There's a huge difference between enforcing a policy and treating customers with disrespect, and this bartender clearly doesn't understand that distinction. The food may have been fine, but the service was so unpleasant that I would never return or recommend Bar Dogs to anyone looking for a friendly place to eat or have a drink. Customer service training is desperately needed.

Our server Catelyn was fantastic-positive, friendly, eager to accommodate special requests and helpful in pairing wines. We loved the creative approach of ordering flights of both wine and food!

We love sitting in the booth by the window on the lively main floor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, upscale dining experience in downtown Memphis!"

    Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!

Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good.
