So great! I wasn't really 'feeling' seafood or southern when my wife recommended this place, but wow was I wrong. Any of the proteins blackened are absolutely delicious, as are the side dishes. And the draft beers are all local beers which is an A+ in my book. And surprisingly considering how great the food is, the prices are super affordable. read more

I chose this place last night because it was walking distance from my hotel. I sat at bar and was quickly waited on. There were probably a half dozen waitresses working. They let me sample the Smoked Catfish Dip, which is served cold. It was delicious, so I had that for my appetizer. It's a huge portion and would be more than enough for 2-3 people to share. It comes with tortilla chips and they recommend trying it with the green Tabasco sauce. That adds a little heat to it. For my beer, I had a Memphis Made Fireside Amber Ale, which paired well with the both the appetizer and my entree. My entree was the Blackened Catfish with White Beans and Hushpuppies. I also tried their Homemade Tartar Sauce and Remoulade. Everything was excellent. I noticed they do quite a bit of carry out, to go orders. It looked like their to go orders outnumbered the actual restaurant patrons inside. They had a few waitresses constantly prepping carry out bags, filling sauces, etc...almost assembly line style, just to keep up. My dinner with tip was $50 plus. read more

Very Disappointed Customer- My experience was awful!! I placed my order online - smoked chicken salad, add cheese and tomatoes - which is similar to the toppings on their chef salad. Well, a chef salad is what they prepared (my salad had chicken and ham). I called the restaurant and spoke to several people to explain my issue, the last being the manager on duty. She was adamant about "bagging the salad herself" attesting to it being correct. She stated that she could remake or refund. Because it was close to closing, I asked for the refund. And she stated that she couldn't do that without the food. It took 20 minutes to drive back to the restaurant for her to see that ham was on my salad and throw it in the trash. She then tells the staff that they must've put the ticket on the wrong container because she "remembers a salad with only chicken". Remake? absolutely not I hadn't patronized this establishment in a while due to service. And now, I will definitely not return. read more

From the time I walked through the door the entire atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I ordered to go and had to go to the front bar area. My server name was Brooklen ( I probably spelled her name wrong) . She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Please give her my thanks and appreciation. The food was hot and prepared extremely well. I ordered the 3 catfish meal, memphian sandwich , blackened catfish with a salad. Everything was great and I will definitely be back.. read more

We came to Soul Fish Cafe for a birthday party. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and the windows make good use of natural light. We had the fried pickles and salmon and catfish dishes. The pickles seemed to be dipped in cornmeal instead of flour. They were ok, just a little thick. The salmon was tender and the catfish was fine. My only hangup was the seating policy for parties. I understand policies are in place to be fair to everyone, especially on a busy night, but it was a dead afternoon with 5 customers in the entire restaurant and her having an attitude about it was kind of annoying. Our party consisted of 15 people, not small but not large either. The rest of the party was there, but we were made to still wait (on two people) before being seated. While the food was ok, I definitely feel like some of the staff could improve their attitudes. read more

We are on a lil road trip. Visiting family and sight seeing. I've been wanting some catfish found this restaurant with good reviews and decided to give it a try. We were early around 3:44 wasn't sore it was open. Parking lot empty. When in and nicely decorated. My wife had the blackened salmon I had fish and shrimp plate. My wife loved the salmon. Nicely prepared the cucumber sales was very good. My catfish was great. Not oily or over fried but just right. Fish was white and fluffy very good. Coleslaw was very good but we both agree the hush puppies were ok. We have definitely had better. Servers were good. pleasant and fairly attentive. Over all a good place to try read more

I ordered the fried pickled green tomatoes appetizer. I love fried green tomatoes, but have never tried the fried pickled tomatoes. They were cut into strips & fried to perfection, served with a dipping sauce that was good. I then had the fried shrimp which were perfectly cooked & tasty. I had the side of Cajun cabbage, I'm Cajun and this dish was not good for my tastebuds. The GM, was very personable, the servers were good. I would visit again as the service, food , & ambiance were all good. read more

We were staying in a nearby hotel and wanted something that tasted like Memphis. In a sea of chain restaurants, we chose Soul Fish and were so happy we landed there! Everything we got was great! The catfish was fried up right, not greasy at all. The collards were so good and we loved the hush puppies. The atmosphere is really nice and the staff was great! Highly recommend! read more

I have been to two different Soul Fish Cafes. The one in Cordova near Olive Garden on Hwy. 64 is the best. Servings are fair and nice size. The food is excellent. The Soul Fish in Germantown is not as good as the other one. The servings are extremely small and not worth the money charged for the food. I will not return to it again. :-( read more

I came from out of town and decided to stop by this restaurant for lunch. Overall, we had a great dining experience. The sweet tea was really good and they kept it coming! Our food didn't take too long and came out really hot and fresh. I really enjoyed the taste of the catfish and the greens. The buffalo shrimp was a little salty, but overall had great flavor. I wish the cabbage had a little bit more of a savory taste. It was a little sweet. There is a great amount of seating and I really like the design of the restaurant. read more

We were seated initially at a table in the middle and requested a booth. The booth we were seated at had a very wobbly table. We were disallowed from sitting at the next table because it was for four or more people. So we left and after speaking with Andrew and finding out all of our experience was in keeping with the owners protocol, we won't ever return. read more

Our server was Brooklyn. She was fabulous and as wonderful as the delicious food! I was concerned because my guest was late. She cared. My guest finally came. The food was delicious. Southwest Salad with Blacken Salmon. But Brooklyn made an impression. read more

My group of 12 Golden Sistas went on March 20th and celebrated two birthdays. Taylor our server waited our group without missing a beat. The food was outstanding, it was delicious and plentiful. It was prepared quickly without waiting. Our entire group ordered most things on the menu. The service was excellent we took up two tables and they were able to accommodate our group without any reservations. Kudos to Taylor our server for doing a fabulous job. I highly recommend this place and most of us left with orders to take home. read more

Soul fish never disappoints. It's one of my fave places when I visit family in the area. Amanda was a great server, food was fresh and hot, and the taste is always consistent. It's a busy place located near shopping, grocery stores, and more. It's great for friends, family, and small groups. Do NOT count your calories. One meal might be your calorie intake for 2 days. However, I promise you won't regret it if you enjoy southern food. read more

Yeah this is some good stuff!! Sat at the bar on a weekend cause it was packed, lots of people coming in consistently for pickup orders too so this place feels loved. Hushpuppies were great, catfish too and portions are large. If you're on the fence one filet is probably enough! Good service too, drinks always filled and always had what we needed. I would bring people here bc it is good. read more

Soul Fish Cafe - Catfish platter - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Traveling through the area and it was recommended to stop here. Overall, it was ok. The remoulade was on point! Right touch of a little spice, tangy, paired well with the Po' Boy. Excellent fry on the crawfish and oysters. The fries were limp and not seasoned. The Mac N Cheese was underwhelming. The tea was brewed to perfection. If I was to go back, I'd get a Po' Boy but get different sides because neither the Mac N Cheese or fries were done well. Server was great, attentive and we never had to wait on anything. Ambiance was fine, open air space with plenty of seating. read more

A few days ago, I joined a few family members here for an early lunch. We were quite early and we arrive 30 minutes before opening time. LOL. They opened the doors precisely on time and our party of 7 seated right away. We all got our orders in. Our server seemed to be a little bit confused about what some of us for while she was taking orders. In the end, I think that we all pretty much received the correct orders, which was good. I decided to go with a bunless burger, cucumber salad, unsweetened tea and split an orde of a dozen fries oysters with a family member. I was surprised that the cucumber salad was just a bowl of cucumbers...not sure what they were brined in but not bad. Overall, I was satisfied with my food. Only 1 person asked to have a side item replaced. Overall a decent dining experience. read more

This place was not overly crowded at 6:30 in the afternoon. Waitress was prompt in taking our order and food was delivered within 15 minutes of us ordering. The salad was decent and not too bland. It was a decent portion (I couldn't finish it). It was freezing cold in the place which made for an uncomfortable dining experience. I shivered through the entire meal. read more

I truly did not know about this location, but I am glad I know now. This location us bigger than the others and I must say the service is consistent and quick.

For my meal, I had the blackened catfish meal. My sides were cabbage and greens. They both were delicious, well the entire meal was. Again, I am glad to know it is there!

We had a great time checking out Soul Fish! Next time I will make sure to order my dressing on the side because the over abundance of dressing was sadly so off-putting for me. The salmon, however, was blackened and DELICIOUS. I would be happy to get that (with said modifications) every time I visit. My husband loved his mahi sandwich as well! The French fries were delicious! We liked the fried pickle but not as much as other places. The breading was a little much with such thinly sliced pickles. Overall, great time and everything was made fresh and we are encouraged to come back again. read more

Horrible customer service. My salad was incorrect . On top of the fact that I had to wait 30 mins for them to bring my food to the curb side pick up. When I asked for a refund they said I had to drive back to the location. Upon arriving and being inconvenienced they did not process my entire refund. I will not be returning. read more

The food was very good. I had the peacemaker Po'boy. It was fresh and perfectly cooked and of course a slice of banana cake which never disappoints.

Fried cornmeal crumbs. The manager advised me to drive back (approximately 20 minutes away ) in the rain & return the food. She explained signs are posted in the bldg to check the order.

The Soul Fish Café was the biggest disappointment of my culinary experience in Memphis. I had researched the best places for fried catfish, and Sou Fish Café was listed as one of the best and was close to my hotel. I arrived and was immediately seated. The waitress was charming and was interested in me having a great dinner experience. I ordered the three-piece catfish filet dinner and substituted the sides with cabbage and black-eyed peas. I also ordered a side of pickled green tomatoes. The cabbage was sweet, soft-mushy, and lacked an excellent southern rich depth of taste. The black-eyed peas were done well but had no flavor. The peas seemed as if they were boiled and put in a dish. The pickled green tomatoes were ok but lacked the kick from sufficient vinegar. My biggest disappointment was the catfish. Of the three pieces, I estimate the total amount of catfish to be no more than three ounces. It appeared they pounded the fish into a thin piece of meat. The catfish were extremely heavily coated with a bland-tasting coating. I had a difficult time tasting any catfish. The prices were ok, and the staff and ambiance were good. However, the catfish filets were missing catfish! I was so disappointed that on my last day in Memphis, I went to another place to have good Southern fried catfish. read more
