Memphis Best Soul Food always has a wonderful array of soul food dishes cooked. I went in to just…read moresnap pictures but I ended up ordering a bacon and egg sandwich. There lunch menu has an excellent assortment of meats and vegetables. I saw fried chicken, chopped pork, turkey wing meat, neck ones, smothered pork chops, hamhocks, and candied yams, rice, snap beans, black eyed peas, butter beans, and they still had a portion of the breakfast menu up. The dinner plates start at $15.00. They also sell sodas, chips, candy and other convenience store fare. The owner is a Q. And he's super friendly. By 9 am you can eat both breakfast AND lunch. It's all cooked by then. I've eaten their lunch before and it was wonderful. You can get hooked. It's just that good.

The most delicious meal I've had in Memphis. I recommend studying the menu before you come because…read moreyou'll be asked to order as you enter. You'll pay there and then be offered a table and your food will be brought to you. Your check includes a 15% service charge of course you can tip additionally with cash later if you wish. I've never heard of eating neckbones so of course that's what I ordered. The pork neckbones had been well braised and were super delicious. Truly an ultimate pork experience. You definitely have to pick them up and chew all over. But there's lots of meat. Some of it you can get to with a fork, and some of it can be broken apart for easier access to the meat, but it is not an elegant meal! I found the vinegar at the table really enhanced the flavor. My sides were black-eyed peas and turnip greens, and the greens were spectacular. The corn muffin was very good. The sweet tea was very sweet, but not nearly as sweet as the peach cobbler. The cobbler was delicious with lots of nutmeg, but people really have a sweet tooth in Memphis. I ate on a Sunday and got there just before noon to get in ahead of the after-church crowd and my timing was perfect. The dining room filled up while I was eating.

Went here at the recommendation of two Lyft drivers…read more Easy walk 0.6 miles from Stax Music, safe. Courtney (see photo)greeted us and took our orders. He chatted with us as we waited at our table for our orders. He served our orders and bused our plates too. He does everything and is very personable providing welcoming hospitality. And he's only worked there for a mere 5 weeks. I asked him who the owner is and he directed me to Jerry and Patrice Thompson, two of the nicest folks you'll ever meet. Jerry has a big welcoming personality and a great sense of humor. Fried catfish fillets were excellent! Crust was just right and the fillets were moist. I ate everything in my plate. Peach cobbler was warmed up, we opted to not have it w ice cream, and it is the best in Memphis! Such a long and storied history for this restaurant. We are so glad we came here and will return next time we are in Memphis. My only regret is we were too full to eat fried chicken too.

The flavor was there but its almost like they hold back with the salt and pepper a little too much. I understand that they want to cater to a majority but when you don't cook with certain spices it is very noticeable. This place is very small (A Hole In The Wall If You Will) but its clean. The biggest problem I found is the lack of employee/owner warmth. This is absolute key for soul food. The people working here just seem like you are annoying them. Its very unfortunate because again this place has so much potential. In my opinion ... A little attitude adjustment and a pinch of extra spices this place could have five stars. I do recommend trying it for yourself. When you consider whats available around this area its worth a try. They also have sooooo many options. On my grading scale I give them a solid B With some small management changes they could be an A+

You place your order first and then you find a seat if one is available to dine in. Dining is limited and the establishment consist of local black artwork covering the walls there is an upstairs area, but that seating is also limited. The owner was very proud of his establishment and gave us the history of how they came about and who cooks what in the restaurant. The service was great the food unfortunately did not match. I'm all for supporting black owned businesses, but I have to give honest feedback. Starting with the sides, the spaghetti, the cabbage, and the greens all had excessive amounts of sugar in them, which was such a turn off, everything taste the same it was so sweet it created a film in my mouth of sugar. The sweet tea lemonade mix was again full of sugar. You couldn't taste the lemonade or the tea. It was just sweetness. I do understand certain people like their food like this. I however, am not one of those individuals. The turkey ribs, a.k.a. clavicle bone taste like smoked bologna and the A1 barbecue sauce did not enhance the flavor whatsoever I nor my mother could finish our food the cornbread taste like mush everything overpowered everything there was no distinct taste of broccoli or cheese just mushy wet undercooked cornbread that again was sweet. The only star of the show for this experience was the fried fish. It was cooked to perfection seasoned well surprisingly without sugar. We could not finish our food after a couple of bites so we took it to go and handed it to a homeless person on the way home. I love the concept of this establishment. I love how they incorporate other black businesses and I can tell he is proud of his work. I would love to support in other ways, just not through the food unfortunately, I will not be returning but I pray this establishment continues to improve, evolve, and thrive, it's a million herbs and spices to utilize, sugar doesn't have to be one of them and for $70 bucks I do expect to enjoy the food to some extent.

The meats however, were lackluster and slightly overcooked. I tried the ham, the baked chicken, and the fried chicken. I did not finish any of them as they were a little dry and not very flavorful. The salad bar's offerings were meager and not very appetizing. For example, the cherry tomatoes were orange as if they were not yet ripe. Peach cobbler was the desert, and I just sampled it. It was okay. The cheesy potatoes were sinfully delicious. If you go, get them. The dressing was also quite tasty. It was nice to have some good dressing in January. I would come back when I'm in the mood for homestyle vegetables.

The store is clean, well-organized, and has that warm, neighborhood feel that makes shopping there enjoyable. I also love that they have a dog bowl and water station outside on the patio for people who bring their pups. On weekends, they even have live bands that set up . Definitely check their calendar online for upcoming events!
