    Catfish Taco
    Eda X.

    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.

    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.

    Fish with Fried Okra

    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.

    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.

    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. Loved: - Side: Fries - Side: Hushpuppies Liked: - Side: Sweet Potato Fries Disliked: - Appetizer: Fried Dill Pickles - Sauce: Tartar - Tacos: Blackened Shrimp

    Hadn't been in a while and my son took me for lunch. We ordered a cod sandwich and catfish and shrimp plate. Everything was hot and fresh. I really enjoyed the meal. The hush puppies are truly the best!!

    I had the peacemaker and it was awesome!!the seafood was coming out of the sides it was so packed in ! Place was very comfortable and good for a sports fan to hang out.

    The cup with the screw in the bottom.

    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.

My husband and I decided to visit after securing an available reservation on Opentable. We were seated in the bar area, which was fine. The bar area was pretty lively that night and there was a game on. I ordered the Bourbon smash drink which was soooo good! I enjoyed it so much that I made note of the recipe so that I could make my own version at home. The bread that we started out with was very good! I ordered the petit filet and my husband ordered the Norwegian Salmon. My steak was cooked as requested, but the flavor was just okay. The Brussels sprouts, however were excellent! My husband's salmon was a nice portion and was greater than 4oz, which he truly appreciated. He confirmed that the flavor was great too. Overall, great dinner, great drinks along with a friendly and prompt server which made this a great night out. Rating 5 stars because of the amazing meals I've had here over the years. I highly recommend!

Her situational awareness and attention to detail are spot on. Her positive and upbeat attitude instills that back into the establishment and the people around her. - Took over 40 minutes for our meal to arrive from ordering and it was cold. - Asparagus was puny and old, tasted like twigs, and had the consistency of it. Had to spit it out. - Very overcooked egg on top of the hamburger. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time dining here!!!

I made the reservation via OpenTable and when calling to increase my headcount, I was told I had to speak with the GM. Unfortunately I was never able to catch up with him until the day of my event. To ensure everyone would be seated (~20 people), I had 2 reservations, which was frowned upon. Luckily we were all seated in close proximity. Even though we had a reservation, we still had to wait almost 30 minutes to be seated, which I found interesting because I had to confirm more than once. Due to the size of our party, we had 2 servers. The one over my table was Lin, not sure the name of the young lady. Lin was very attentive and ensured we were taking care of in a timely manner. Service with the female server (from the what I was told) wasn't as great. My food and drink were great. Tasty, Warm and Delicious. I also ordered Philly Steak Eggrolls but ate them too quickly to snap a picture. I was not a fan of the new sauce that comes on the side.

We enjoyed…read morethe new seasonal salmon croquettes, and they were absolutely delicious--crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and paired perfectly with the sauce. The Parmesan fries are always a must-order and never disappoint. The cocktails were equally impressive. The Sidecar was smooth and refreshing, and the Pomegranate Martini was perfectly balanced. Our waitress was outstanding! She was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job recommending the seasonal specialties. Her recommendations were spot on and made our experience even better. We chose to sit on the patio, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. It made for a relaxing evening with great food and an even better atmosphere. The warm bread with butter is always a favorite, and the carrot cake with toasted pecans and rich caramel sauce... it comes to play every single time--no games! Moist, flavorful, and easily one of the best desserts around. Excellent food, exceptional service, beautiful patio dining, and a consistently outstanding experience. We'll definitely be back!

The steaks we good well made however I had to make adjustments. for all as ! My friend was given my steak and I was given my hubbys. Problem was mine had onions hubby has an onion allergy and can't eat onions. It was total confusion at table between us and we all kept steak we were presented as only one did not have onion. I didn't send back because we waited a long time for steaks, which is highly unusual. 2. SERVICE- Our waiter was and I don't remember name but was Hispanic with light blonde colored hair. So waiter came to table seemed annoyed, like they gave him an extra table or something. Waiter showed no smile only introduced self and very business like wanted order. Never offered drink refills or bread hubby had to ask. Lobster bisque was good but cold not warm but cold. Gave most to my friend just seemed too much trouble everything took so long . 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
