    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.

    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.

    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 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

    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 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.

    I love Jim's Place! This restaurant is a gem and I've always enjoyed dining here. In the past, I…read morewould visit with a group and have dined in their private dining area as well as their semi-private dining area. The service has always been great and the food is always good! 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!

    Such a Generic name that doesn't hint or celebrate its Greek heritage or menu, why? If not a local,…read morehow many more looking for a twist on your American grill/steakhouse, might try you on for size? Owner's Yelp About Business info doesn't clue you in either that the Grille has Greek roots and menu influence. By digging to see the names Taras, Dimitri, and (Jim) Katsoutes, the original owner of Jim's downtown 1921 would you guess, and as a 3rd gen family business they obviously have a following. And after that buildup, just not us, albeit that we all ordered fish. With ribs in town, limiting the week's caloric uptake was a check for the ticker ;) Shrimp cocktail $21 comes with 1/2 doz long & large, grilled with a steak like pepper seasoning, ie Grecian, served warm in cold cocktail sauce edged by bibb lettuce that looks great in a stainless cocktail stem, but no one was eating haha. 3.75/5* but my BIL who is a local, person always gets. For him it's a 5. Greek Salad $24 with salmon aok but again BIL loves this place. Norwegian Salmon entree $27 was overcooked, ordered rare and blackened, and not spicy at all. Entree comes with 2 sides; hubby chose a side salad which was just blah spring greens, tomato, cuke and croutons, but a cloyingly sweet balsamic dressing didn't help either despite 3 lemon wedges. Better option would be if they offeres a Greek side salad. Mash, the other side was fine. 3.5/5* Halibut fresh catch of day $37 is about 6-7oz asked for chargrilled, it was more delicate like cod, lacking the flakey firmness and oilier flavor or halibut. Select your sauce: a Mediterranean-- feta roma red onion, but a light hollandaise? & bacon??..is that a TN thing to add bacon to everything lol. Or the Creole with Parmesan, again why add Cheese/fat to a sauce that should be perfect without? the Lemon Garlic is butter based so whileI hoped for 2 great sauces, I steered to a heart healthier olive oil & oregano blend on the side. But it was just kinda oily without fruitiness or burny polyphenols of EVOO; the Lemon wedge was best. Turnip Greens cooked with ham hock, was not noticeable--fine by me, cooked down to texture of canned spinach and not at all bitter. Liked this the best, shockingly lol. Really wanted to try the Grecian rice but it's cooked in yes, butter, that fat suck again sigh, with Chix broth topped with a tomato Greek spice. So stuck to a plain Baked Idaho tater dressed down skinny sans bacon n cheese. 3.5/5* Good pour of Sazerac Rye in Old Fashioned. Full glass of little rocks suck though vs the signature big block ice for pro's, that waters it too quickly and visually no comparison. 3/5* $14.42 ok, but sticker shock another $4.20 additional Liquor Tax for 2 drinks, damn. I am sure the full duty Hickory n Oak grilled Lamb Chops & steaks are great but nearing $60 I'd choose elsewhere based on our fish dishes, while edible were not worthy of the billing and nothing we'd crave, ditto for the sides. Too bad because the true Greek influence has been buttered, cheesed, and baconed out. Dining Room is busy and energetic which is always good, lots of waitstaff, moody medium and dark brown decor, quite inviting. Jason did a great job on our table, but the proof, not in this pudding today. Thanks anyway, now moving onto those Ribs, Charlie Vergos :D

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!

Every dish exceeded our expectations. The price of the bill was well worth it. I love when I can go out for a nice dinner and everything goes right with no complaints. We can't wait to dine here again. Definitely a 10/10 from us!
