OMG!!! so I was visiting Memphis in May for granddaughter's graduation so I ran into a good old…read morefriend and her daughter recommended this breakfast/brunch spot. Knowing my particular taste palette, I was like OK let's see what they have looked on the line and saw the reviews. Very good reviews Check nearby location Check serves chicken and waffles Check. So I thought I'd give it a try. Totally in love with this quaint repurposed house now restaurant extraordinaire. They should have chains all over the world concept is perfect. They even sell libations via bartender, so you're gonna get more than a good brunch. You're gonna have a variety with the kit and caboodle. The Customer Service was top notch, top shelf, from the server to the bartender to the Manager, and order taker, everyone was smiling and friendly and courteous. My friend had been before so she said the catfish was good and I had a taste for fish. We both ordered the catfish basket and I ordered a separate banana's foster waffle on the side line. She had a Coca-Cola drink and I had the mimosa from heaven. When I tell you, everything was perfect it was perfect and I have a very sensitive taste palette. We had so much fish. I had two more pieces to take home to reheat and I didn't reheat because I was visiting and staying at my hotel so I ate a cold and it was still fresh and crunchy, I'm just saying. So this was in the middle of May so the still pretty cool and not humid and we sat on the patio and so learned from the server that you may get served a little quicker on the patio. Because the inside those small and quaint with all the tables was awaiting list of about 20 to 25 minutes. We sat outside to wait but then when we got our menu, she explained we could go ahead and order so we only waited like maybe 10 minutes. This is a perfect choice. I can't wait to come back just to come to this restaurant which is did I say black owned black run black service black excellence. Get your Eggs-Eggxactly Exclusively, Eggcellent!!!!

Liquor Store MEM 27…read moreJuly 2026 Synopsis: Breakfast worth crossing state lines. There are restaurants that feed you. Then there are restaurants that grab you by the collar, slap the stupid out of your face, pour you a generous vodka, and remind you why civilization bothered inventing fire. Liquor Store is the latter. You'll find it at the corner of Poplar and Mendenhall, where Memphis traffic oozes through the intersection like molasses contemplating life. Parking isn't abundant, so prepare to circle a bit. We somehow snagged the very last space, which immediately felt like the culinary gods whispering, "Yeah... today's your day." The second you walk inside, the heat dies. Not "bank lobby in Memphis where your sweat flash-freezes into an ice sculpture" cold. Just perfectly air-conditioned. The kind of temperature where your body finally stops negotiating with humidity and starts believing in happiness again. The room breathes. High ceilings--but not cathedral or airplane-hangar ridiculous. Just enough space to make the place feel alive without feeling like you're eating breakfast in a Costco. Then comes the staff. Fast. Friendly. Professional. Zero wasted motion. These people move with the confidence of mechanics during a Formula One pit stop. Nobody is pretending to be busy. They actually are busy, and somehow they're smiling while doing it. Tyler had our backs from beginning to end. Now let's talk about whoever was commanding the kitchen. That beautiful lunatic has BTUs at his fingertips and clearly understands that cooking is not merely chemistry--it is controlled violence against hunger. I ordered the Sweet Potato Hash. Normally it comes with vegan sausage. No. Absolutely not. Life is too short. I asked if they could substitute chicken instead. They didn't blink. No sigh. No "let me ask." No drama. Just an effortless, "Sure." About four minutes later--and I was the kind of hungry where I'd have considered eating the menu--that masterpiece landed in front of me. Friends... I've eaten breakfast from San Francisco to New York, from roadside diners to hotel brunches where they charge you because they know you'll pay. This was the best breakfast hash I've ever eaten. The chicken was juicy. The sweet potatoes had actual personality instead of being sugary mush. The sautéed spinach deserved its own fan club. Then there was the sunny-side-up egg. Listen carefully. A proper sunny-side egg is one of the great disappearing arts. This one had crisp edges worthy of applause while the yolk remained gloriously molten, ready to flood every bite with liquid gold. Not greasy. Not overloaded with salt. Not trying to impress Instagram. Just perfect. Then there was the vodka. And bless these people... When they say "well vodka," they apparently interpret that as, "Let's not insult the customer." They pour a genuinely respectable shot instead of the microscopic chemistry experiment too many places call a cocktail. It arrived with our chasers in what felt like under a minute. That's confidence. That's hospitality. That's Memphis. The music stayed exactly where good restaurant music belongs--in the background. Cool enough to create atmosphere but never loud enough to hijack conversation. Whoever curates that playlist deserves a raise. I intended to carefully analyze every flavor. Instead, I inhaled the contents of that little cast-iron skillet with the elegance of a starving wolf wearing a necktie. By the time I thought, "I should really study the seasoning..." there was nothing left but an empty cast-iron skillet, one lonely hash brown that had escaped onto the plate like the last survivor of a glorious battle, and absolutely zero regrets. Here's the dangerous thing about Liquor Store: Nothing feels forced. Nothing screams for attention. Nobody acts like they're doing you a favor. The entire experience is so effortlessly dialed in that excellence feels completely ordinary--which is probably the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. We had a long drive ahead of us toward Bristol, and I genuinely didn't want to leave Memphis because it meant leaving this place behind. If I were on death row and the warden slid the final meal request across the table? I'd hand it back with two words. "Liquor Store." Then I'd ask Tyler to bring one more of those gloriously generous well-vodka pours while the kitchen wizard cracked one last sunny-side egg--the kind with crisp, lacey edges and a yolk so perfectly runny it ought to be protected by federal law. Needless to say, we'll be back.

It's even had a fancy logo burned in the bun. Swanky! I've seen them on social media and have meant come by for some time. I made a commitment today! I am really glad that I did. It's out of the way, so you will never just happen upon it. It's on the back side, on the bottom floor, of an office building. There is zero signage, so you have to "know about it", if you want to come. Here is your heads up! I hope I can get just one more person in here with this review. We need to support places like this. It's family run and awesome. There were only two people working but were handily making do and taking great care of everyone that came by. This place is beautiful inside! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm not sure how this all came about but, damn. It's really nice. Stone. Cool angles. Nice furniture. Love it. It does feel empty though, so change that Memphis!!! Get here as soon as you can. They cater and rent each section of the downstairs for parties, showers, and other get togethers. It's very economical and I am considering having an event here soon. Can't wait to visit them again!

Just have the basic smoked turkey leg by itself. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it's one of the best things you'll ever eat. A smoked turkey leg. Really? Hell yeah...

This is not the place to stand there contemplating your life choices--you'll get the look from the owner if you take too long. Honestly, I kind of love that about it. Family-owned, local, full of personality, and clearly doing something very right. I will be back in a few days because I now need to try to rest of the menu.

Many ordered the skate with brown butter which was world class. After dinner, 1 client remained due to difficulty getting Uber. He ordered a drink and was told the register was closed. I quietly asked the owner if he could offer the drink on the house, and he declined. Had he been more accommodating, ACRE would have been at the top of the list for a substantial number of subsequent business dinners. My fiancé and I decided we would give Acre another try last week. We ordered the striped bass entree for $49. When the dish arrived there was what could only be described as two scraps of fish: One piece was less than a half inch thick and about 4 inches long, and after some searching, we found a second piece about half that size. I have never seen a striped bass small enough to yield a filet that thin. We asked the server to ask the kitchen if that was intentional or if there was a mistake. We were hopeful that a "do over" would result in the entrée described on the menu. Unfortunately, the server was clearly not in our court. Her attitude was passive /aggressive or at best indifferent. Despite specifically asking what the chef had to say, we received no visit or even feedback from the kitchen. What could have been handled with a laugh and a new or different entrée selection, quickly became uncomfortable. Hindsight is 20/20, but we should have considered our first bad experience a clear message that the culture at Acre is not a fit for us. We will not be back.
