Stepped into Soul Fish Cafe after coffee at Congregation Coffee across the street. The staff were all quick, friendly, and inviting. The fried catfish and fried okra were both delicious. The catfish is slightly smaller in portion than I had hoped. I just didn't care for water served in plastic cups and styrofoam take out containers. In our time where microplastics are ubiquitous, I'd like to see business take up on more environmentally friendly and health friendly materials such glass cups so our water doesn't taste plastic and our hot food doesn't melt the styrofoam container we take back home with. This message is by no means targeting Soul Fish Cafe, but many restaurants in Memphis in general. read more

Great meal, atmosphere and service. The catfish was perfectly fried, and the macaroni, green beans, and French fries were all fresh and flavorful. I even tried the PB&J -- simple but surprisingly good. Staff was friendly and fast, and everything came out hot. Soul Fish Café continues to be one of the best spots in Germantown for comfort food. read more

After picking up my mom from airport, we wanted seafood for dinner and thought Soul fish was the place to go. Placed the order via phone and waited in the parking lot until the time has passed. I walked inside and was greeted. The interaction was great. My food was ready so I tipped and walked out! When I got home and opened my food, I was so disappointed. It was the smallest fried fish I had ever seen. The salmon was more than blackened that I didn't even finished it. I lived too far to call and make a complaint, so thought I would share my experience here. This was my first time at Soulfish in quite a while. Not sure that I will be back. read more

We had a fun time seeing old friends and eating at this delicious restaurant. My wife had the blackened shrimp and I had the catfish tacos. They are the best with the guacamole and salsa. My wife thought the Mac and cheese was some of the best she has ever had! It was our friends' first time and they loved the friend shrimp, catfish plate and grilled shrimp with a baked sweet potato. They handled six people comfortably around a round table. Our server Virginia was excellent. We are sad there are no restaurants like this around us. read more

I came here with a group and am not a big fan of their "seat the whole party at once" policy. We were all coming in after work down the street and planned to spend at least an hour or so eating and chatting about the book we had read, so we were all coming in at various times. To be honest, if I had known they had this policy I wouldn't have picked it because it definitely doesn't suit our needs. The food was just ok. I'm not a huge southern food person, so take that as you will. I adored the hushpuppies here but really didn't like my shrimp tacos. I was told blackened was like seasoned but they tasted very bland to me.

5-17-26 We were there for lunch. The food is good but the portions has been cut. The menu needs to be changed. A jumbo shrimp is not a small shrimp size. The shrimp is not even medium size. The fried catfish is cut in half the size and has mostly batter than fish. There ice has an aftertaste that is probably from the ice machine not being cleaned. Most likely black mold. I don't know why we keep coming back. It's seems that profit is more important to them than anything. I guess that they don't care. We will NOT be back. read more

Customers be aware! We were here for lunch. The staff didn't seem too friendly. We ordered our meal and drinks. The drinks had a moldy taste like the ice wasn't clean. The food came out but the portions were not the same as in the past. They had cut the size of the food. The fried shrimp were small and not even able to taste the shrimp itself. The fried catfish we cut in half to make look like a whole filet. What a joke! They are really cheap on cheating the customer our of their money. Please do not waste your money here. We want be back.

Let me preface this by saying that I never have liked catfish. I grew up around some of the best fishing lakes in the lower 48, and developed a strong affinity and appreciation for northern pike, walleye, perch, bass, etc. Given that, I have found that this restaurant produces a deliciously well-crafted southwestern style salad, with plenty of tasty black beans, and also with animal protein toppings (if so desired). Also, their hush puppies are very good. The side items are also respectable. All of the portion sizes are generous, and some come with unexpected extras, like cornbread muffins or hand-cut French fries. I can say that they do a mediocre job with the boneless chicken wings appetizer. The chicken can't be really tasted because of the ridiculously overly-thick breading. Also, my southwestern salad came with a side of (overly salty) shrimp that wasn't actually ordered. I usually just have a family member bring me some take home food, since I don't care for the uncomfortable chairs at the restaurant. As long as my family keeps eating here, so will I. Here's to hoping that this joint will import some walleye from Canada. read more

This had been one of my favorite locations until last night. I was served a sweet tea with a metal screw inside the bottom of my cup. Due to the tea being dark I did not see it until I had drank the entire thing down. I tell my waitress and she gets the manager and she comes over and tells me it must have come out the container that holds the tea. She says she's going to comp my meal well my ticket was $58 she takes off a $16 fish plate and brings me back the balance of the ticket after I drank a tea with a screw in it. I was gong to try and let it go but the more I thought about I felt traumatized that I could get sick from drinking behind a rusty screw. read more

Decided to have a family outing and dine in for some good olé Southern style Fish. I am thoroughly happy that Soul Fish Cafe didn't disappoint. The Lunch/Evening rush confirms why this place is such a hot commodity. Personally, I love the freshness of the each dish that's prepared (especially) the fried fish. I have to admit I ordered a lot of fried on this visit, but I still enjoyed every bit of my meal. The potions are very decent for the price. I also had plenty to take back. Soul fish is appealing to any crowd, including your little ones. Not pictured, were two other popular dishes including the "fish tacos & the po boy sandwich." A popular dessert must try is their "Lemon Pie." read more

Private parking lot. This is right beside a movie theater. They have specials written on the board every day. The inside is a pretty open concept. My family tried the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were pretty thick. I wish they had cut them thinner. Your drinks are served in souvenir plastic cups that you can take home. Great advertisement idea. I ordered 2 whole bone-in catfish. The fish was tasty. I didn't have a problem getting around the bones but I know some people need filets. Cajun Cabbage was the best thing I ate at the venue. Fried okra was decent. Hush puppies were good. read more

We used to go to Soul Fish for fried catfish, which is excellent, but fattening. Then we decided to try the blackened catfish. Ohhhh! Two big fat fillets that were much less fattening than the fried. I usually ask for the lightly blackened. My husband and I have traveled all over Europe and the world. We just got back from 23 days in South Africa. The first thing we did was go to Soul Fish for lightly blackened catfish. I think it's a the best fish I've ever eaten. Very generous portions. Great price value. There isn't much atmosphere, but the fish and vegetables are great. read more

My waitress was great but I have to complain about a kitchen issue... Ordered the small catfish which comes with 2 piece catfish and two sides. When I received my catfish I noticed that one catfish filet had been cut into two pieces. Spoke with management and he confirmed that it is typical for this to happen when ordering fried catfish, but if I ordered the blackened catfish then I would get two filets and one side.... That is not right. This is false advertisement as the fried fish is listed as two filets on the menu. read more

This again I find strange we are very familiar w steak house and go like 2x per month to try different ones they never never take that long! 3. Ambiance- Meh! We were seated facing kitchen rushed to table I didn't have time to ask if something else was available as we were walked to table hostess just left. Place is basic steakhouse wine bottle display which would have been better view than kitchen anyway all in all a 3 and that's for steak and potato, prob won't go back. When we are in Memphis next it will be a different one also minimum tip for Mr personality. He's young he'll learn

Our service was good and we got our food pretty quickly. We were seated near a large group which was very overstimulating. The group became loud and rambunctious which negatively impacted our experience. We could barely hear our server near the end and we couldn't wait to leave. Despite the loud environment the food was fine. The bangin chicken was tasty. It's certainly not as good as the bang bang shrimp, but worth a try. The shrimp toast was SUPER salty and the toast was shockingly soggy. I thought it would've been like bruschetta bread texture so I was disappointed. The avocado wasn't ripe enough yet so the pieces were very hard. Maybe the chef was having a bad day. I can see the dish having potential. It would definitely be better with a firm toast, less of the salty sauce, and more diced tomatoes to balance the flavor. Their artisan bread & herb olive oil was good as always and was the highlight of the visit.

I visited Soul Fish Cafe in Germantown. When my server arrived to my table, she did not greet me or introduce herself. Her words were, "Were you ready to order?" I believe all servers should know that a decent greeting would include your name and at least assuring the guests that you will take care of them during his or her dining experience. I believe that doing so takes no more than one minute. However, those simple words make a warming difference. Asking "Were you ready to order?" without even providing your name lacks decency and effort. The dining experience reflected the same pattern. There was not much thought, personality, or effort for the remainder of the time. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to the praise! The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food was nothing short of incredible . I kicked things off with crispy fried pickles and Buffalo shrimp--served with both hot and mild sauce for the perfect balance. For my main course, I enjoyed the Ruby Red trout paired with savory collard greens. And to top it all off, I indulged in a decadent slice of German chocolate cake that was the perfect sweet ending to the meal . Photos will be included with this review! read more

I order the fried catfish which had no flavor or taste at all , the cabbage was just okay, and the Mac and Cheese was not good either. The other two people ordered the meatloaf because they had been before and said it was pretty good but they was disappointed as well. The meatloaf was cold, but they did say they enjoyed the candies yams, but they still said they would never come back because the food is no longer good or freshly prepared here. But back to my food poisoning situation, around 3:30pm I had stomach cramps so I knew something was wrong ( unfortunately I was the only one had the fish and tartar sauce so it had to be one or the other) and I didn't have anything else to eat that day . But later that afternoon I started vomiting and kept going to the bathroom and here it is the next day and I'm still having stomach pains. I should have know when I entered that know one was inside and they said this place used to be packed for lunch. But unfortunately I will never return here or recommend anyone else to go here for soul food. It wouldn't surprise me if others got sick as well because it's definitely old food being served or it's not being properly store .

5 stars times a million!!!…read more I was visiting my dad's for his birthday. I visited back in August and I'm still thinking about it. Before my flight back to California I needed one final southern meal (no good southern cookin on the west coast.) I am so happy I chose this place. First the staff, 10/5 stars!!! We didn't realize they were closing soon (about 30 minutes from the time of arrival) and showed up. The staff not only didn't even mention it but generously accommodated us! When we realized, we apologized and they were so kind and understanding. Now the food. WOW! So grateful I listened to my gut because I saved the best for last. We ordered a spread of food. Catfish, yams, fried chicken, collard greens, cobbler, etc. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Catfish was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Each bite almost made me cry tears of joy. Home cooked taste but from the friend/family member that can tear it up in the kitchen. You can taste the love, dedication and pride. The prices are worth it for the quality and quantity. The atmosphere was welcoming and chill. Definitely a good spot for a family dinner/lunch after church. Again staff were so warm and kind. Overall we had an amazing experience. If I lived closer it would absolutely be on my rotation. If you live nearby make it yours. You will not regret supporting this small business. I will be back as soon as I can!

The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right every time. Their sweet tea is so good--definitely a must-have with your meal. My only critiques would be that I wish the yams had a deeper glaze and the mac & cheese was a bit more thoroughly baked, but the flavors are still solid overall. I always get my food to go, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. If you're ordering a fried entrée, make sure to order ahead and allow about 15 minutes for them to finish frying--it's worth the wait.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that they moved to a new, bigger location. My husband and I visited on a Saturday night. It wasn't super busy, but there was a large party there.

I went with 3lbs of crawfish (Cajun seasoning and byb spice) and the J3 bag which comes with 1lb crab, a lobster tail, some shrimp, corn, sausage and potato (j3 special sauce and byb). Hubby got the J3 bag as well (original J's sauce and mild). Soooooo good. The crawfish were the best part honestly. It was ALL very good, but the crawfish hit different. We had leftovers and they were still good the next day. I will definitely be back!

Their parking is $5 which isn't bad for downtown. When you walk in, you are welcomed with good music, good vibes and a dreamy blue light that makes any skin look good. (Think Belly, ifkyk). Went for my besties bday party so we were set up in the back in area where they called it the "Garage". It was a very nice space and open up to the outside area too. They did have a bar setup but no bartenders, made drinks in the front. The Food!!!! 10/10 and I will solely keep going for that fried catfish. My whole table had them. 1-2 pieces on catfish each. It's that good. I got some tenders with fries and a side of the spicy honey gold sauce. Best sauce that I had in awhile. Our waitresses Kim & Patrice were phenomenal to us the entire night. Anything that we wanted, we got it. For a Saturday night, they were on point with the service. The Chef also keep checking in on us too and that's something you typically don't see. Going the the bathroom, you can see artwork displayed. The bathroom has mouthwash as well. Perfect for ending the night.

Never again. While…read morethe food itself was good, the service was among the worst I've experienced. We ordered tacos that were brought to the table without plates. After requesting plates, silverware, and napkins, none of those items ever arrived, leaving us to eat without basic utensils or proper place settings. We also ordered water and were told there would be a charge, which was fine--but the water never came. Unfortunately, that was only one of several service issues we encountered throughout our visit. Good food can only go so far when the overall dining experience is this frustrating. Based on the lack of attention to customers and poor follow-through on even the simplest requests, I would not return and cannot recommend this restaurant. Save yourself the disappointment and choose another venue.
