    Finally had a chance to visit and was not disappointed. It rare that you dine at a restaurant and everything is good. We all know the area has limited parking so walking a short distance might occur. Thankfully, I was able to find a spot on the lot. We arrived at 4pm and it wasn't very crowded. We were promptly seated. The interior has a lot of vibrant designs. Photo walls, photos mirror areas and a nice large wall decor make for easy social media content. Everyone seemed to be deepening conversation while enjoying great food and cocktails. I will say this was by far the fastest service I've had while dining out in a while. Cocktail #1: Lavender lemon drop martini. This one has a perfect flavor balance and gradually kicks in. Appetizer #1: crispy calamari. The sweet pepper jelly has a subtle spice and really compliments the well seasoned calamari. Grilled veggies are a nice addition. Appetizer #2: steak egg rolls were so good. Appetizer #3: short rib empanadas; packed with flavor Appetizer #4: fries. Nice and hot Cocktail #2: 1530 Margarita: packs a nice little punch. Entrees: sliders these little jokers are thick and juicy. Honorable mention cocktails Good vibes and the spicy Paloma. These are also highly recommended.

    Crispy calamari and short rib empanadas

    Such a cute and underrated Latin fusion spot in Memphis! The atmosphere is super eclectic, artsy, and chill.For appetizer we got the short rib empanadas, which were packed with tender, flavorful meat and paired perfectly with the sauce, plus crispy calamari with a sweet pepper jelly sauce that was so good. I also loved the Hibiscus Paloma, it was super refreshing with the perfect balance of tequila and grapefruit flavor. For tacos, I tried the fried shrimp, steak tip, and grilled redfish tacos. The fried shrimp was definitely my favorite because of how crispy it was with the chipotle sauce. Overall, everything was flavorful, the vibes were great, will def be back!

    Came to celebrate. Friend's bday. We had a good time. Food was good. My sliders and fries were delicious. My other friends had the fish and said it was okay. Her salmon needed more seasoning for the entire entree. My other friend had a smash burger and fries and said it was excellent! The steak egg rolls appetizer were very tasty. I would order those again. Service was speedy. Our waitress had a few hiccups when we were settling the checks. She checked on us somewhat frequently. The inside of the place is very nice. It is cozy and very hip looking. There is some older memorabilia on the walls. A polaroid camera sits in the wall. That is pretty cool. Parking is a little challenging since the space is quite small. There is street parking but it is shared with five other restaurants. Brookhaven Circle is always popping with people and restaurants. I will come back to try other entrees and appetizers.

    This is a super cool place off the beaten path. It's truly unique with art and eclectic furniture and would make a great date night spot. The service was on point and the food was sooooo good!

    Four friends ate at Pop Spot for the first time. We enjoyed it, the food was solid and wait staff very attentive. Photographs of the four dishes are attached. An interesting menu, photo attached. We did not drink alcoholic beverages at this lunch outing. My two grilled fish soft tacos were fine, but not spectacular, small though and I completed one in three bites. I will try something different next time. The ambience of the restaurant was fine, though loud enough for my young colleagues to notice. The other meals, a chicken sandwich, steak salad, and 3 beef sliders were enjoyed and would be ordered again. The french fries were crispy and fresh. Overall, our group enjoyed this lunch and staff was able to get the food out fairly quickly. So eating in an hours time is possible. I will give this review of 4.5 if it was available.

    This spot is simply lovely and a nice evening out. A party of two, we stopped by on a Monday evening just before the dinner crowd, around 6p. We were greeted and immediately seated and a waitress came over shortly after. She was nice and helpful with menu options. The monster burger waa full of ingredients but no real standout flavor or overall taste. The steak eggrolls alone are enough to come for. The cocktails were good but the fries were the actual star of the show. They were so good. The smash burger was good after I put the patties on white bread. The potato buns are way too think for the thinner patties. Overall vibe was great for a pop in for dinner then head home spot for sure. I love that they sell tacos individually so they will be fresh instead a set amount already. Price point was on par with other neighborhood places. Definitely stop by and check them out!

    Steak rolls
    Regina C.

    A new spot that I found out about 30 mins before I visited. I ordered the steak rolls and short rib empanadas. And I really liked both. Especially the sauces that accompanied each. The bar was pretty busy but the bartender Jacosta was able to handle it. The ambiance was relaxed with a slight upscale flair. I will return to experience more items.

    Pool party

    My daughter and I went last Saturday as a late birthday lunch. We got there at 11am and we were the first ones in the door. We were greeted right away. The vibe was very cool with lots of colorful "pop" art on the walls. We ordered a little of everything, we started with the pool party, which was delicious, then ordered the steak egg rolls, the empanadas, the potato wedges, Caesar salad with blackened salmon. My daughter got the quesadillas, the smash burger, Caesar salad with salmon. Everything was delicious and service was great, our waitress explained everything and checked on us often. They were getting packed by 11:30 so I suggest going early on a Saturday. We will definitely be back.

    Such a fun vibe and friendly service! The owner was so nice and I absolutely love the culture and Venezuelan touches to the menu.

    Blackened fish
    Mary W.

    Another amazing meal at The Pop Spot. We came in to celebrate my 40th birthday! We ordered the charcuterie board for the table & for my dinner I ordered the blackened fish. It was absolutely delish! Our server was great and this whole place is an absolute vibe! We will be back again!

    Jacosta created a pleasant experience for my daughters and I during our pre Valentine lunch. My plan is to make this a regular spot. I love the ambiance. The food was pretty good. Service was superb!

I was wearing my "mom clothes" and we had our toddler with us. Not once did I not feel welcomed though. Our waiter was super nice, very helpful with the menu options. I wish I had gotten his name (we actually dined over 3 months ago and I'm just getting to this review!). He seemed to have been busy, but never let it affect his performance. Now on to the food. My goodness, it was delicious and I have been craving to go back. First off, I appreciate that they are a kid friendly place. I understand not every place has to be, but when a place offers something for kids, it just makes the dining experience even better for me. They were out of the kids cheese pizza, but our waiter did a cheese flatbread for my son. I mean, that alone was good, but my entree was the best! I had the basil pesto tortellini. All the flavors came together perfectly in it. Highly recommend! My husband got the bbq chicken flatbread, one of the best flatbreads we've had. Seriously! As an appetizer, we got the baked spinach dip. It had so much flavor and pairing it with those house made tortilla chips were just the extra it needed. The only thing that was disappointing was the tiramisu. We have had better. The espresso flavor just wasn't enough for my liking. We'll be back for sure! Maybe a date night for dinner.

Recommend the BBQ Chicken pizza with a side of gouda cheese! If you are ever on death row, request this from Ciao Bella for your last earthly meal! You won't be disappointed, well maybe for previous choices but not for the last meal choice. Other notable mentions, peanut butter chocolate pie for desert and the calamari. Again try the calamari with the gouda cheese. Dining was very elegant and setting was romantic. Felt upper class by Monday, today. Compliments to the Chef and for management for fitting us into the schedule. Well done!

Unfortunately, the food has been consistently underwhelming during my recent visits. I first ordered the lamb chops. They were not what I would consider traditional lamb chops and were surprisingly chewy and difficult to enjoy. I returned and decided to try the Irish Curry Chicken. It was, without exaggeration, one of the worst dishes I've had there. The menu described it as chicken thigh, but it was clearly chicken breast. The dish lacked basic seasoning and flavor. There was very little salt, umami, or curry flavor. The rice was wet, overcooked, and mushy. Overall, the entire meal tasted like something taken from a grocery store freezer section and reheated. At this point, I would recommend sticking to the fries and the burgers, which remain the strongest items on the menu.

Moody lighting, low rumble of noise and music you enjoy but don't notice. My kinda place. Rye was our server and she was excellent. Not only top-notch recommendations but also let us know about the tasting menu- I can't wait to come back to try the off-menu one they do the last Wednesday of every month. We got raw oysters to start and chose the seasonal preparation. It was almost like frozen lemonade crème fresh, but with the brine of the oysters it just worked. Would def order again! We started with a whiskey sour and AM old fashioned. Both great but mine was so good my husband ordered another round of them for us before we got a bottle of red. I don't recall what bottle it was but it worked perfectly as it wasn't too heavy and swung easily from apps/pasta/entrees. Then we opted into the blind tasting menu. 5 courses, chosen from the menu that you don't know what you're getting until it touches the table. My husband and I are pretty adventurous as far as food goes so it was perfect for us. No shit- Everything was amazing. I loved the tasting menu as it was not any dishes we were considering and I am so glad we got to try things we wouldn't have otherwise. For example, the little asparagus appetizer was the best thing we ate, on God. Like, what in the actual F ! The kind of magic they created with those little green veggies was out of this world --I didn't even want to swallow it was that delicious. There was some kind of fish crudo with beet and kumquat relish. Weird and so good! We also had some pasta with a lemon-y butter sauce and spinach and then a chicken entree. I was getting so full by the time entrees came I ate less than half of it but the skin was crispy, chicken was cooked to perfection and husband finished them both. Now yall, the dessert was a heavenly little pot of rich chocolate with a caramel base and crunchy honeycomb crisp on top. I was so full I couldn't finish it but my husband finished his and then mine. We also ordered a little affogato and it was perfect to finish the meal. I will absolutely be back and look forward to trying their other restaurants in the near future!!!

I was able to eat the portions not touch by the spinach but it was so salty spinach was inedible. The best thing of the night was this spinach pasta dish with pumpkin. I would just go back for that. Again, overall it was a fun experience but unfortunately would not do it again. I would probably go back just for their pasta.

IDK but I will definitely not sit out there again as I didn't even really get to talk to my friend. I liked the nachos I got but the okra was just ok. Could've used some seasoning. The Tiger Bleu Chips my friend ordered were a cool idea. I don't like buffalo sauce nor bleu cheese so I tried some chips and liked them but not the sauces. I loved the chicken on it though. I am not sure if it's the same chicken as the nachos but it didn't taste like it was. Honestly, it would be cool if they had options for the chips like maybe other sauces. Unfortunately, they messed up my husbands burger twice, which is not great. But the burger itself just tasted like nothing, which was worse. Hubby's tater tots were too salty.
