    Steamed mussels
    Jen B.

    Do NOT come here if you want to eat crab. All they have is plastic forks, so it was very difficult to eat the crab legs. We ended up biting at the shell, and the hand work meant splattered bright orange sauce all over the place. The small-ish bibs only protected our shirt fronts. Our shorts and sleeves are stained now. If we'd had a metal fork, that would not have happened. We were the only ones in the place at 6p on a Wednesday. We still had to ask the server for seafood crackers and then the check. She never checked on us after we ordered. The crab legs tasted great. We also got one order each of green and black mussels, which were just okay. The potatoes have zero seasoning and are a total waste. The corn on the cob was mushy.

    I had to finally try out Juicy Crab after a bunch of people I know raved about how good it was. I will say it was good, but not the absolute best. My friend and I visited on a Monday evening. The restaurant was pretty busy, so I expected to wait a while. It didn't take long for us to be seated and for the waiter to take our orders. Food took maybe 20-30 minutes to come out, but it was hot and seemingly fresh so I had no complaints. The service was a bit slow though. Our waiter repeatedly forgot to bring us water and we didn't even get everything we needed for our seafood feast. No bucket to place shells, no bibs, etc. No big deal, but would've been nice to have. Now the food. My friend and I both ordered the Juicy Cruise special and added a lobster tail. I got the juicy special sauce, extra hot. It was not hot at all, but the flavor was okay. Overall, it wasn't the best seafood I've ever had, but I'd visit again!

    Spotted this place riding around Memphis near hotel. Of course it was looked up on Yelp. On arrival it was a full house so we figured it was a good choice. Placed on wait list about 25 minutes . I ordered the 2 choice with corn & potatoes. Which is confusing make you think you getting 2 but really 2 individual items at different prices. I ordered sausage and no head shrimp with hot mixture which is some tasteful weird greasy oil that rolls down your arms, good thing they give gloves and bibs , yes they serve shrimp with the heads on. Overall we had a good waitress and she kept drinks refilled and checked on us. But it's pretty pricey but it's seafood and the kids enjoyed their crawfish and snow crab.

    Let me just say, I have no clue why the reviews are so bad on this app for this place. The customer service I received: OUTSTANDING! I came here because the phone etiquette of the lady at King Krabs was horrible. The crabs here were juicy, that sauce (Juicy J Special) was perfectly mild. I also ordered sausage with the spicy sauce, fantastic. And that Bob Marley hit the spot. Would definitely order again! I did to go, you know with COVID and all.

    The hungry feast, we were hungry but neither of could finish. Thanks for the good eats!

    We never heard of this place until we pulled in and I'm glad we found it today. The staff to the food was great. We ordered the cajun flavor with medium heat per our waitress Rachel's request and WOW, down right the best flavor I've experienced yet at any seafood restaurant. In our opinion it even beat Bob Chinn's, so that says a lot to me. Not that his place was bad, we just didn't walk out satisfied. Give this place a try.

    Experience was horrible. Waitress was rude. I had mold in my potato and when I addressed the waitress, she "OKAY" and brought me another one. I asked for the manager. After 30 mins the waitress tells us she's the manager. When I found the manager he only discounted my ticket $4.

    The menu looked really interesting. I love Cajun food. The reviews were not great but most were old…read moreanyway. So, let's being the reviews back to the here and now 7.26 The place had a bar feel with a restaurant as a second thought. The tables were kinda small. The menu was packed with many choices. Something for everyone for sure. Our waiter was on the ball. He was constantly coming by and checking on us. We started with the spinach and artichokes dip. Small but good. Turns out, it was the perfect size. We then ordered our entrees. We had an order of catfish fingers, shrimp and grits, and chicken and shrimp pasta. The catfish was real good. Crispy and tasty. Fries were good also. Next, the shrimp and grits. Good flavor. And then the shrimp and chicken pasta. Excellent. Creamy and a little bit spicy. Good flavor. Someone said shrimp were small. Not this time. Shrimp were as expected. All played were huge. There was allot of food. Easy more than any of us could finish. And we were hungry. So make sure you bring your appetite. We finished with an order of beignets. A little bit over cooked but the interior was nice and fluffy. Very crunchy. In all, this place rocks. Everything was way better than expected. I love Cajun food and this place did not disappoint. I Recommend this place.

    I grew up around Creole and Cajun Food my whole life. And living in Memphis I don't get it as often…read moreas I did growing up... Leading to the cravings. In retrospect I should have just driven to Deja vu, in fact .... Looks like I'm going to have to do that soon and from here on after. As a bar Bayou does its job ... It has put forth an effort to appear slightly as a Dark Louisiana bayou bar. It doesn't quite hit the mark ... But it tries so they get props for that. The space itself is roomy and when we went pretty vacant. We grabbed a table and eagerly waited to be brought a menu ... Because it was about two and this chick was starved! We watched two waitresses Walking around the spacious dining area between the four tables that actually had people at them. We watched and waited ... Smiling and suggestively nodding as in 'bring me a menu please before I start gnawing the table' kinda nod. We where acknowledged several times and finally one of the waitresses said 'be with you in a minute'. This minute was more like ten. Finally we get our menu and drink orders in... I asked if the shrimp and grits had any meat in them and just had seafood ... I was told no just seafood. We ordered the flight of soups as we wanted to try them all... My sister tasted the duck and chicken gumbo and nearly gaged. Their seafood gumbo was ok.... Definitely not the gumbo I grew up on but it wasn't terrible. I suppose if I where placed in a situation where I had to eat something from Bayou ... Or DIE... Well I would eat the seafood gumbo. The seafood bisque was ok... Again not terrible but not particularly tasty. The red beans .... Horrible. Sister said the Gator chili was decent and the only thing she would ever consider ordering again though containing very little actual gator meat. I ordered a half dozen grilled oysters. According to the menu they where to be toped with shrimp cheese and louisiana mirepoix. Oysters came out with no grilled flavor drowned in some sort of cream and cheese .... No shrimp ... Not so much as an onion in sight much less a mirepoix! I had ordered the shrimp and grits as I had been told there was nothing but seafood in them .... Boy was that a lie. I fished out six smallish shrimp and ate just them. My sister had the Jambalaya. It consisted of tiny little salad shrimp chicken and slices of sausage and a strange flavor which she finally isolated to the actual sausage. We grew up on aundouille sausage ... In fact our uncle makes it occasionally. Whatever that was in the jambalaya they where calling aundouille we are not totally convinced it was ... And my sister said the bad flavor was conning from the fact the sausage tasted spoiled. Needless to say ... She did not eat more than a few bites of the jambalaya. So there we sat with huge bowls of uneaten food ... Empty water glasses... And all our other plates (from the soup and oysters) crowding our small table. I was never asked if I'd like another beer ... No offer to remove plates... No water refill. In fact our waitress practically ignored us and had to be flagged down for anything. My sister optimistically wanted to try the bread pudding .... I warned her ... But she did it anyway. I tried a bite. It was terrible. My sister being of the more steel stomach type (and her side was covered in Caramel sauce) ate several bites before she made this funny face ... 'This is freezer burnt!' I just said 'I told ya. I can't believe you ate even that much!' It took forever to get our final bill for a table full of practically uneaten food. Then to top it all off ... We both got a little sick. And as we had not eaten anything else that day ... Other than Bayou. In the middle if this review I decided that one star was really an unfair assessment .... In this case zero stars would have been generous. I suppose if you are just wanting to hang out at a bar .... It would serve that purpose.... Maybe they should just remove 'Grill' from their name altogether ... And do us all a favor - stop serving whatevet that is they are calling food!

    I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

I'm a creature of habit so I get the same thing with fried okra. The service is always attentive and giving.

I recommend going during the lunch hour or during the week for dinner because on a weekend or Sunday afternoon, you're gonna have a wait.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

The food has never missed. But the service is another story, and without it, even great food falls flat. I've dined here about four times and kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, especially as a Black-owned business I want to see thrive. Today, though, I have to be honest. We had a 1:30 reservation and were seated promptly, then waited. By 2pm, we still hadn't been greeted or offered water. When I asked the hostess if we'd been assigned a server, she confirmed we had. He brought water ten minutes later, then disappeared again for another 15. We ordered everything at once, drinks, appetizers, entrees, out of fear he wouldn't return. Food arrived slowly and out of order. By then we were 90 minutes into our reservation and had already paid for two hours of parking. One friend's wings came out well before her side salad. Two others' fish dishes arrived cold and had to be sent back to be microwaved. Our apps hadn't arrived by the time our food came so we just cancelled the order. Everyone agreed the seasoning and flavors were excellent, but the long waits, inattentive service, and temperature issues overshadowed the meal. At these prices, with an automatic 20% gratuity, my friend joked "maybe we should've just ordered online." It landed, because that's really what it felt like. I won't be recommending Mahogany Memphis for now, but I genuinely hope they turn things around. The food deserves service that matches it.
