    Beautiful restaurant in a former theater which I was also told was a recording studio frequented by Elvis, and a distillery at different times. I had the Cajun chicken eggrolls, recommended by the friendly bartender Ana. They were delicious, definitely house made with a great sauce on the side. I also ordered fries- they were just ok - with a lovely glass of rose. Great experience overall!

    Came here on a Sunday with a group of girlfriends. We had a reservation and upon arrival we were shown to a room with 1 table away from the rest of the restaurant. The main attraction of this establishment is the ambience so it was a disappointment to be placed away from the ambience. We came in May, yet were presented with a drink menu that still featured the Christmas beverages, which was very disrespectful to the customer in my opinion. Even on the online menu it is not updated. Why would you even give that to a customer? We ordered some off menu drinks and the glasses they came in were interesting... martini glass was the size of a Barbie glass. A margarita is $21, are the limes flown in daily from the Florida Keyes? What is the reasoning behind that pricing? The food we ordered did come out in a timely manner but nothing was special. I think you could definitely skip this restaurant. There are a lot more restaurants in Memphis that have better flavors and interesting drink options.

    I was torn between giving The Majestic Grille a three or a four stars! The food was incredible, but we did have to wait a pretty long time for our food! They were able to seat us immediately after we called and got a reservation, but once we ordered it took a long while for them to come! The restaurant is beautiful! They have lots of seating. On the menu, they also write a summary about the history of the restaurant which is very interesting to read about. The portions also seemed pretty small for what you paid for. We ended up eating pretty much all of our food. I shared the salmon and salad with a friend, and we really enjoyed it. The salad was very fresh, it just seemed to be on the smaller side! However, someone else in our party got the Shrimp and Scallop Spaghettini and they were not very impressed. They did enjoy the Grilled Pork Tenderloin though! Our server was great! He was super conversational and made sure we had everything we needed. They do add gratuity in for larger parties, so be sure to check your bill before adding it on again! I think I would come here again!

    I went back and forth between three and four stars, and decided to round up. I stopped in for lunch, and having perused the menu before I came, I was ready to roll when my server came up. I thought he was kind of oddly formal for a place with plastic cups, but I wouldn't say unfriendly. I ordered the salmon blt with the remoulade on the side. That ended up being a good decision, as the remoulade just tasted like a bland burger sauce, and I am unreasonable in my distaste for mayo. It had no zip, it was just ... blah. The salmon was cooked well, but the fish wasn't seasoned, which was a disappointment. The sandwich was on a lightly toasted bun, with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Even without the sauce, had it been seasoned it would have been great, it just didn't quite get there. The fries are shoestring style and come with a bit of Parmesan to make it fancy. They were alright. I didn't see my waiter again until I was finished. I thought $17 for a salmon sandwich is fair. The quality and size of the fish was good. I thought the decor was great. I loved that it used to be an old movie theater. It has vibes. I think this is a pretty good option if you are in Memphis, looking for something other than bbq. They have a nice patio right on the trolley line, when the weather is good.

    This was a pleasant surprise. We were looking for a place for lunch in the middle of the week & stumbled upon The Majestic Grille. The atmosphere is supper club like with it being a little dark. We sat & ate at the bar. The bartender/server was enjoyable. She was professional with a little sass. The food was delicious. We had the daily ravioli special & the deluxe grilled cheese. They were both delicious & a couple local beers. The architecture of this building is beautiful & classic. We will return next time we are in Memphis!!

    This was SUCH A COOL PLACE to have dinner. Supposedly it used to be an old theater which you can believe based on the layout. We were seated immediately on a Wednesday evening. They play a movie on the big screen but had a strangely placed palm tree right between my eye level and the screen so I couldnt' see much of anything. GF expressed disappointment that she couldn't watch the movie because she likes it. I reminded her that perhaps they were assuming the patrons would want to talk to each other instead. The service was wonderful. They have a nice cocktail menu. I ordered the ranch water which I was told was very strong. I didn't find it so and I am a lil bitch. It tasted very similarly to water. It was ok, nothing to knock my socks off but I have an immature palate and unless it's sweet or strongly flavored, the socks are staying on. For her drink, GF ordered a manhattan. "It was good" she says. For our food, GF ordered oysters, fries, and spinach. I ordered a salad and ravioli (I was thrilled to see a vegetarian entree, literally one of the only ones I had seen for days prior on our vacation). Regarding her meals, GF says, "it was good, too". I tried some of her fries which were crispy and topped with that parmesan and parsley business. They were EXCELLENT. Very high quality fries. The salad was great. Very fresh ingredients. Very enjoyable all around. The ravioli was exceptional. There were some sun dried tomatoes and spinach in there with a very delectable creamy tomato sauce. Heavenly. Didn't leave one 'oli to spare. For dessert, they provide these little almost like small old fashion glasses of different desserts, which is interesting. I recall a key lime pie, tiramisu, carrot cake, probably cheesecake. They're small and you can get them in a flight. This is very interesting and I like this idea. Some people don't need a massive slab of cake on a plate. The only bad thing is we are bring-dessert-home-for-later bitches and they don't offer that. I had the carrot cake, which was good.

    The food was,, so, so! Not bad, not what I would call good. Their only deserts come in one of six shot glasses. It's a bit pricey but not over the top. Its primary value is the experience and the friendly service. The setting is great! Though I would not go out of my way to find it. It's a good place to sip some Tennessee whiskey and watch the people go by.

    The food here is amazing I've never had anything bad off the menu ... fabulous food. The service was on point and very friendly great service... the dining room full of old time movies and the ambiance matches perfectly... great place to enjoy drinks or food or both

    Pork Tenderloin with Maple Glaze
    Sarah P.

    [This was ordered off of a limited menu during a private event and may not be available to all guests] The cesar salad, not pictured, was fantastic. It was already tossed in some of the best cesar dressing I have had when it arrived. I was expecting the pork tenderloin to be pretty savory despite the glaze, but it was overwhelmingly sweet which I wasn't a huge fan of. However, the quality and cooking of the meat was great. The mashed potatoes were awesome. Service was great. The private room was the perfect size for our group. I highly recommend them for a private dinner.

    My coworkers and I went here for a welcome lunch for a new employee. The service was goof, and the food was 7/10 overall. I opted for a ceasar salad and added fried chicken but the reviews for my coworkers particularly those who ordered salmon was mixed. The ambiance is great and with the live movies and Christmas decor it's definitely a selling point and a reason to visit.

    Their policy is auto gratuity on 5 or more people yet they did it to a party of two. Very dishonest practices.

    Do you have to make reservations?

    No you do not.

    Does The Majestic Grille serve non-alcoholic beverages?

    Serves both. Can make non-alcoholic cocktails.

    Park the peabody garage. It has elevator. Majestic is cross the street. Pretty easy to walk.

    Is this a great place for Easter brunch or for brunch on a normal day or dinner? We are in Memphis for a short time and trying to plan?

    I would do Flight if you're looking for a great special place downtown. Majestic is more affordable if you are looking for budget. Houston's or Folks Folly are great Memphis places on Poplar Ave (Not Downtown). Hope this helps! Flights does take… Read more

    Cameo hands down is the best place to get drinks & don't count out their bar food…read more Me and my girls decided to do All Day Happy Hour which are on Monday and it didn't miss. The service was great and the drinks were even better. We tried the Mai Tai, porn star martini , frosted Jake to name a few. The star of the show for me was the Frosted Jake. It was very refreshing surprisedly. And a huge shoutout to our bartender - I believe her name was Max!!!! Keep her on board. She is everything and so nice. Don't miss this spot at all.

    Another Friday outing with the girls took us to Cameo for happy hour…read more It was a little empty as we arrived right at 4p but it didnt stay that way for long as I can see why. The place is small but inviting. The music playing through the speakers was like they had my spotify synced. All of my favs were playing. (Shoutout to whoever was respnaible for Melanie Fiona album The Bridge being in rotation. That's one of my favs). We were all pretty hungry so we ordered The Cameo Cheesburger and fries. It's a really nice sized burger and definitely will help soak up the "liquor" lol. From 4-7pm you get half off selected classic cocktails. I started with a French 75 and it definitely did its job. There is a cocktail on the menu called Rage Quit ($10) which simply states secret and danger. Well we decided to all try that and let's just say the danger snuck up on us lol I also had a Cosmo which was delicious as well. By this time we are felling really good but need to use the bathroom. We then discover there is a photobooth in the back area. It was pretty comical trying to get all 3 of us in the frame. We chatted with the staff afterwards to let them know that the we had a great experience. If you're looking for a nice happy hour spot, I highly suggest Cameo.

    I LOVE breweries so visiting this place on Beale was a no brainer…read more Like most breweries, they have a selection to choose from. The options are displayed on a large screen above the bar. I believe the place was empty when we took a seat at the bar but another party of 2 followed shortly behind and sat a little bit further down the bar. I tried something that sounded better than it tasted but ultimately this is a matter of personal preference and I have a high maintenance palate. The people next to us got wings, which looked good until they were dangerously close to a leak that had sprung from one of the exposed pipes above. They had to move to a table behind us and then some of the staff got a bucket to place on the bar to catch the dripping water but that made a very loud noise so then they put a towel inside of the bucket. I will admit that I have never experienced such a thing before. It looked like the pipe that was dripping had tape wrapped over that area so they had tried a "bandaid" fix in the past but it didn't work. Obviously, this does negatively impact the "ambiance" portion of the overall experience and getting the impression that this is an issue that could have been fully addressed previously but the decision was made not to. It wouldn't stop me from going back but it certainly isn't ideal.

The beer selection is top-tier--something for everyone, whether you're into classics or trying something new. The food is next level, especially the fries... easily top 3 I've ever had.

    One of the Worst Customer Service Experiences I've Had After…read moreattending a Pride event and visiting from out of town, my friend and I stopped by Bar Dogs late at night/early in the morning on June 7th, hoping to grab some food before heading back to our hotel. Unfortunately, we were met with one of the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender--a Caucasian woman with a short haircut whose name I unfortunately didn't get--greeted us with an attitude that immediately made us feel unwelcome. Instead of providing friendly service, she was dismissive, impatient, and rushed us through placing our to-go order. She informed us that we could not eat at the bar, which was completely fine. We agreed without any issue and ordered our food to go. However, when my food arrived, I simply opened the container to make sure my order was correct before leaving. She immediately rushed back over and aggressively said, "Didn't I tell you that you could not eat at the bar?" I hadn't taken a single bite--I was only checking my order. Rather than politely clarifying the policy, she continued to scold us and make us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. We still hadn't even received my friend's food, yet she seemed more interested in lecturing us than providing basic customer service. Once my friend's food finally arrived, we left as quickly as possible. As visitors in town celebrating Pride, we expected a welcoming atmosphere and basic courtesy. Instead, we experienced hostility, impatience, and a complete lack of professionalism. There's a huge difference between enforcing a policy and treating customers with disrespect, and this bartender clearly doesn't understand that distinction. The food may have been fine, but the service was so unpleasant that I would never return or recommend Bar Dogs to anyone looking for a friendly place to eat or have a drink. Customer service training is desperately needed.
