    Fish tacos, sweet potato fries wit honey
    Toya D.

    Stopped in for a late lunch with my bestie yesterday and it was very satisfying. I decided on the blackened catfish tacos with sweet potato fries n Honey. 2 nice sized soft tacos seasoned to perfection, juicy, flavorful and cooked to the right temperature. Toppings such as guacamole and coleslaw put them over the top. And the sweet potato fries dipped in honey are a side dish n dessert in one. Friendly and attentive customer service. Cool ,clean laid back environment has me as a repeat customer.

    I loved everything about this place! Service was good & very fast. It was kid-friendly and everyone loved their food. I especially love their sweet potato fries & cucumber salad. The only thing I didn't really enjoy were their regular fries. They were too salty & had too much seasoning.

    Great service. Fish is always hot and fresh. Best sweet tea in the city. A little nosey but that's normal at restaurants like this.

    Catfish Soul Fish Platter (regular), with Mac 'N Cheese, Collard Greens, and hush puppies!

    How is this place not rated a 5?!? The food is delicious. Hot, flavorful, delicious!!!! After a little shopping, I decided to grab a bite to eat and this gem populated in maps! I had the catfish platter regular and WOW!!! This fish is DELICIOUS, I mean pause and try to savor the moment, if you can!! I couldn't... hahaha! The food was piping hot, minus the hush puppies, but even those were delicious and unlike any hush puppies I've ever tasted! The mac & cheese was creamy and cheesy. I'm trying not to go back in and order more to go! The greens are pretty good, probably my least favorite of everything in my platter, but still solid! Definitely try them! The Louisiana Hot sauce made them even tastier. I ordered takeout, service was fast and friendly! There's seating and a bar/takeout area. The restaurant isn't fancy at all and I do not mind... Instant favorite at first bite! I can't wait to come back!!!!

    The food at Soul Fish reminds you of southern down home cooking. The taste is not bland and it is not overly seasoned. They do offer a variety of options for all dietary needs. You get a good serving size for the price. Unlike many restaurants in there you actually get your moneys worth because you won't have to break the bank. The hostess and wait staff were very nice and accommodating. Restaurant customer service is touch and go into today's society but this staff made us feel at home and part of the family. The atmosphere is casual and laid back.

    Southwest Salad

    The Southwest Salad with blacken salmon on top was the best salad I've had at Soul Fish Cafe. I mean I left no crumbs. This light refreshing salad filled me up, and I didn't feel heavy after eating it. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the lettuce was fresh and crispy. The waitress was nice and helpful with questions concerning the menu. I did sit outside and which wasn't a good decision. I was fanning away flies the entire time. Next time I will eat inside to be more comfortable and enjoy my food.

    A friend and I went for dinner. Very casually decorated, with dining and drinks. We ordered the catfish platters with Mac and cheese, fried okra and slaw. Food came out, nice and hot, within 10 minutes. It was quite nice, not something I could have regularly thought as it was all fried. We also ordered the caramel cake and lemon pie. To me the cake was too sweet, but the pie was absolutely delicious! Now for that, I'd go again

    Three piece fried catfish dinner with fried okra and coleslaw. Perfect!

    We recently went to Soul Fish, wanting some delicious catfish, and we got it! They might have the best fried okra in town. Love their coleslaw, too! Fast and friendly server, the food as great.

    This is the penultimate casual dining experience in Memphis. Their staple dish is the fried catfish but I've never had a bad dish here. The service is always fast and friendly here, with quick seating, prompt ordering and drink refills in a flash. Memphis may be known for its barbecue, but an affordable family meal that everyone can enjoy exists right here.

    Fried Dill Pickles
    Daniel A.

    Randomly found this cafe and it was tasty! Fried pickles were some of the best I've had, lightly battered and came with some homemade ranch. The fried catfish also had a light batter to it and was very tender; delicious. Same goes for the fried shrimp. The sides of the Cajun cabbage was a hit and I will definitely be learning how to make this at home. The hush puppies are usually one of my favorite sides but these came out very dry, almost like caked cornmeal in the middle. Would have enjoyed some honey butter or just regular butter to go with them as well. Staff was very friendly!

I'm still deciding which two sides I'd like to have (hard to select) everything is so tasty Our server is really sweet- keep up the great work!

    Very dry unseasoned Cast Iron Cheeseburger. Used to be so juicy and flavorful

    We've gone to Soul Fish for 10+ years. Unfortunately, that run came to an end last night. Our go to items were extremely subpar. Cat Bites were burnt and dry, vegetables were so bland, no amount of salt could salvage them, and what about the Cast Iron Cheeseburger? It used to be so juicy and flavorful. What I was severed seemed to be a cheap, frozen patty. What a shame

    Delicious catfish and fried pickles! Great, friendly service. We came during the lunch rush but were seated pretty quickly.

    Good food and good service. Would have been 5 stars if the catfish were just a little more crispy. Looking forward to next time.

    Food very good an service was fast an drinks was strong fish poboy was amazing an flavofulread more

    I stopped by one of the Memphis, Tennessee Red Pier Cajun Seafood & Bar locations for lunch on a…read moreSunday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food had good flavor, and I would consider ordering it again. Unfortunately, it was served only lukewarm instead of at the proper temperature, which took away from the overall experience. What stood out most, however, was the presentation of the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by numerous handwritten paper signs and messages written on dry-erase boards throughout the dining area. For a restaurant with mid-range pricing, this came across as unprofessional and distracted from the dining experience. I was also surprised that there was no standard silverware available--only individually wrapped, inexpensive plastic forks and spoons. As I was leaving, I noticed several customers were being served their meals in takeout containers rather than on traditional plates, which further gave the impression of a casual takeout establishment rather than a dine-in restaurant. Overall, the friendly service and flavorful food were definite positives, but the food temperature and the overall presentation of the restaurant left me remembering why I rarely choose to dine at Red Pier. With a few improvements to presentation and attention to detail, the experience could better match the prices being charged.
