Straight Drop Seafood in Memphis, TN is the real deal! Had an amazing meal here with a shrimp and crab boil and a garlic butter broccoli side. And let's not forget about their homemade drinks - crazy sweet. The service was chill, and the walls had great art on them, not a lot of seating maybe 4/5 2top tables, more of a togo spot. Can't wait to come back read more

Just depends on what you are in tbe mood for and how far are you will to travel to get.. this was definitely out of the normal area, I'm in. I was actually referred to this establishment by a friend. I think she might have discovered on TikTok but here we are.. I think what drew us,was they were opened kinda late.. The bags are stuffed. They look and smell delicious . The flavors were on point,didnt miss.. n the seafood wasn't over steamed. Sweet meat is what I call it.. After you.eat all dem seasonings and finger licking. They sell alkaline water by the liter, by the case. Help yourself to wellness. Sorry,ion what happened to my pics read more

I love the food here--it's always seasoned really well. I usually go for the crab boils. I'm not a fan of the sausage they use, but the crab is always on point! It may look like a hole in the wall but don't let that stop you! The food IS bussing. I'm giving it 4 stars only because they don't provide gloves, bibs, or anything to help you stay clean while eating the boils. Other than that, the food is a 10/10. read more

Visited with family and overall it was a pleasant experience. The pizza had a nice crust and fresh toppings. Drinks came out fast, but we waited a little for the mains. The space was clean and comfortable. Around four stars from me. read more

Although prices and portion are decent. The service was horrible in regards to hang attention to the customer. Was visiting from California for my birthday, went they are and there was a teenager sitting at the counter on his phone. Wasn't welcoming or didn't speak, didn't even acknowledge us. Although he was sitting right in front of us at the counter. Had to get his attention from his phone to place our order. He mumbled during the transaction which made it hard to understand and he had an I don't care attitude. Then I went back and added an extra sausage. By this time we had received our food. We are the only people in there. After about 10 minutes still hadn't received the sausage. I asked him how much longer and he gets up tells the guy in the kitchen to give him some sausage and immediately hands it to me and forgot. Keep in mind this was to go and not eating there so he was so engaged in this phone he doesn't even realize we're sitting there not eating waiting. Could have been a great experience with a little more attentiveness and customer service etiquette. Won't be back. read more

Food was good and not a long wait.The only problem was the distance from my home. If my food is still warm enough when I get home I will be going there again. read more

My experience for food has been good. It's always accurate and fresh. The outside of the building at night needs more lighting and cane be intimidating considering the neighborhood. The food is pretty solid, if not in the area I would order from or the food delivery companies like DoorDash or UberEats. read more

So I dont really eat boil bags, with buttered seasoning but my famoly raved anput the flavor and it was 5 clusters for $45 (which is an absolute bargain). I had the fish and shrimp combo which was really good. read more

Yes I absolutely loved this place an recommend I'm not a big crab or seafood boil person But I went here to review an video myself inside the restaurant the food was very much seasoned I loved the lobster tails and potatoes The vior water was definitely good moneybagg yo approved. So I approved too An the blue razz punch was off the chain taste just like delicious hood koolaid read more

I wanted to give five stars just for the fact that the restaurant has REAL catfish and not Swai! However, the cooks are heavy handed on the salt, so they lost a star. If the cooks could cut the salt in half, the catfish meal would be banging ! Great meal presentation and quantity! Overall, this will be my new Memphis catfish spot, with the request to fry the fish hard with light salt. Just please don't ever do the deceitful switch of replacing catfish with Swai and selling it as catfish on the menu. Oh, the hours are amazing! My flight got in late, and I was able to still order HOT catfish! Yes, the food was hot when received. Thanks! read more

100% best seafood spot in Memphis if you're looking for Cajun boil. The produce you can tell is fresh. Service can be a bit better, maybe it was just the employees on shift at that moment. read more

Best seafood in town! Great customer service. I would HIGHLY recommend. The food was fresh and the ambiance was nice.

Damn Damn Damn .... (In Florida Evans voice) not only is this seafood outrageously delicious the price point is on point. For $45 we got a lot of food fried catfish , lobster tails and shrimp. They have a few tables and chairs inside but most folks pick up and go. The service is Memphis service lol hit or miss but then again it's not a white table cloth kind of establishment. This is strictly about that damn good food!!!! read more

Not a bad looking spot, nice colors and art on the first look walking in, kinda different.. Understand short on employees always, I'm not real big on sea food but as we spoke I was gone try It , Miss Nikki B .. my thoughts coming down to the south figured a bit more flavor that's me and the 3 other people I came with. Wouldn't tear it down but wasn't my favorite dish but support really all that matter hope all is well Miss Nikki B read more

The best crab legs and butter sauce. It's not a place to sit and eat. This is a Carryout spot. I suggest to go in the day time because of the area. Next time I am in town for work, I'll be sure to visit. read more

Food from Straight Drop was very delicious fresh hot everything you think of was there just when you ordered the package. Make sure you ask for your bowl eggs don't come with the corn in the crap in the lobster tail. That's something extra service was outstanding come with a smile and they take your picture ambience. I love the artwork on the wall. It's a wonderful place to go to love it love it love it if you want some seafood, that's the place to go straight drop. read more

Got there late at night and place looked scary from outside for someone out of town and not familiar with the area. It didn help that the Uber driver even asked if we were sure we wanted to stay. Decided to risk it and man was it worth it. Best freaking seafood boil ever and price was crazy low. The sauce is delicious. Should have bought a bottle to go. I think it was the owner who came over and asked if we liked it and we said it was awesome. I think we ended up seeing a video of us on Instagram chowing down. Doubt we will ever be back in the amazing city of Memphis, but if we are, we will definitely be back here. read more

I didn't get a chance to take a picture but we ordered one of the bigger family platters and boy was it a hit ! It was my first time trying them and I was impressed . Crab legs were cooked just right , seasoning was on point . Only mishap we had was the corn , it was a little hard but still worth it . I will most definitely be back ! read more

Food is amazing! I ordered to go but the service was fine. I have no complaints. I ordered the $35 meal deal MORE THAN ENOUGH FOOD!!

Best food I've had since being in Memphis! I will absolutely be back! These prices are to die for!!! read more

Round of Applause for Straight Drop Seafood! This is the late night spot for great eats at an affordable price. I ordered 2 CrabFests with a kool-aid and that brought my total to $78.00. Not bad at all. I tried calling in my order but no representative answered the phone after several tries, so I just decided to go up there and place my order. The location is in the heart of North Memphis but they did have a security patrolling the place and the artwork outside and inside the building is quite breath taking. I was able to place my order quicjly and even received it in under 15 minutes. The best part was watching the owner "straight drop" my food with his butter blend. This is the next best thing. Please go and patronize Straight Drop bevause they will fulfill your tastebuds! read more

Fast service, good seasoning but over cooked. Really cool looking place with some amazing art work out front. Worth a try.

Great food, friendly staff and fast service. Placed order online - food was hot and ready upon arrival.

Seafood is very good. The service is pretty good good ole Memphis hospitality. Food was cooked hot and fresh seasoned to perfection and they didn't skimp on the butter sauce. Whenever I want seafood I go to them. read more

Crab was good! The legs were filled with meat. They don't offer the sauce on the side and although they're supposed to offer online ordering I couldn't do that either when I ordered even though it was 6pm when I ordered. The building is a little confusing to manage, long hallway and when you finally get inside there's a small menu on the counter, they have the daily specials on a white board. read more

Worst experience!!! First I want to say that I've been a loyal customer here but now that I've had two bad experiences in a row I can't take it! First bad experience I chalked up to an off night. But tonight I couldn't do that. We ordered two shrimp and salmon pastas (which we have gotten before) and an order of fried catfish. The fish was ok, not bad. Then there was the pasta. First off the serving was smaller than the last time I ordered it but I know things are changing at a lot of places so ok. I wanted some of their butter sauce on the pasta so my husband went back inside to get some. They said they don't put it on top of the pasta anymore but he could buy some, so he bought two little cups. I'm so glad he did because that was the only thing that saved that pasta! When we got home I opened my container and there was no shrimp!!! I was so mad!! I went to call the number and it didn't work. It was late, I was tired and hungry and didn't feel like getting back out. So we decided to go ahead and just eat. The salmon was good but the sauce on the pasta had zero flavor. It tasted like they started to run out of sauce and decided to put water in it to stretch it out. I put the butter sauce on it to add flavor. Disappointed and mad I took a few bites and went to sleep. Couldn't believe this is what we were served. Definitely was not worth the $75 we spent. Maybe we will go back another time earlier in the day but it won't be anytime soon. read more

Great food ! I highly recommend this business if you looking for tasty seafood !So give this place a try all my seafood lovers

It was ok. Yelp might have an old menu so the prices didn't reflect. The food was ok. The hospitality wasn't there at all. It felt like we were bothering or interrupting the cashier (no one was in line or there ordering) but maybe owner/cook came out 30mins later greeting us and asking if we enjoyed our food! I loved seeing young black men like myself employed. Just got to work on the customer service. read more

This place is honestly so good for seafood in Memphis. I got the lobster and shrimp plate and that lobster was PERFECT. So meaty and cooked so well. The shrimp was fine but still a good seafood pairing. The drop sauce they use is delicious and will have you coming back for more. Their potatoes are done differently but I wasn't mad at it. It's pretty much mashed potatoes but it soaks up all that butter. It was so affordable and delicious. Idk what more you could want! read more

The food was OK the crab legs are pretty good unfortunately the potatoes were very mushy sort of like mashed potatoes the corn was overcooked I had to make my own eggs to go with the seafood the crab legs were season really nice they were good they had a warm temperature the sausages are good as well overall I would give it a three read more

Straight Drop Seafood Memphis - Crab legs, sausages, corn, potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I'm a big fan of seafood and been hearing good things about this place so I decided to check it out. I'm not that concerned with the outside although it did have trash in the parking lot that should have been cleaned up. When I went inside it had an odor like an old building odor is the best way to describe it. The customer service wasn't bad I wasn't really focused on that due to the bad odor. I was rethinking if I wanted to order or not because the smell just threw me off and it wasn't really clean visible stains on the walls things not in place . Not what I expected because I looked and read so many reviews. I got my order and took it home. I ordered crab legs, corn, sausage, shrimp and eggs. My eggs were overcooked like so much so that you could tell they might not be freshly boiled eggs. However the rest of the food looked good so I continued to try it. I don't think they boil the seafood in seasoned water they just dress the seafood after it's cooked. I personally prefer my boil to be cooked in seasoned water to give it more flavor. The flavor was all in the sauce they put on and not in the actual seafood. Overall it was just okay. read more

Excellent food with great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Quick service. Definitely the place to visit

WOW! The food here is delicious! Best Crab legs I've had in Memphis! The seasoning and butter dip, AMAZING! I'm excited that this is added to Memphis's incredible cuisine! The service is also impeccable. Ryan always takes care of his customers. I highly recommend! It's also open til 2AM, so it's definitely the club let out. The neighborhood is off the chain so be cautious when there, but enjoy the food! read more
