    Hard to miss this corner establishment close to the convention center.looks like this place has been here for 41 years Place is clean and laid back. I was seated quickly. Ordered a bowl of seafood gumbo, 13.50$. It's was ok. Tasted more like dark tomato bisque with rice. Plenty of shrimps.

    This was the first restaurant I tried in Memphis, and it surprised me a lot. They were quick to take our order and also to bring it to us. I tried the wild rice bowl with marinated chicken. It was amazing. The rice was delicious and the chicken juicy and well seasoned. I also ordered one local IPA beer, the Soul & Spirits Hoochie Coochie. It was perfect! The food came with bread that was warm was very tasty. The only thing I didn't like a lot was that it was leaking from the ceiling. Besides that, the food was great!

    I think the rating is accurate. This was a late night food option available and suggested by the hotel front desk person. I ordered delivery online from their website. The website pic is not a good reflection of what the boom boom shrimp looks like. The sauce was all good, but I expected something different.

    This is a cool spot to get a bite to eat! I stop in before an event I was attending and they took care of our to go orders pretty quickly. I had the fried green tomatoes and fried fish. It was really good and filling. I am glad that I came across this eatery and I look forward to going back.

    I have supported this business for nearly 23 years. It's always been a favorite when I come into town. As a matter fact, it is normally my first destination. But tonight upset and disappointed me beyond words. I placed an order approximately 20 minutes before getting out of church. I figured that was enough time to wait out the order being prepared and being able to grab it to go. When I arrived at First, the man told me he had no order for me at all. I produced a receipt with a fully paid order only for him to tell me that he had rejected my order. One of the items on my order was the Philly egg rolls and because they were out of one appetizer item he canceled my entire dinner order for my family. He had every opportunity to make my order and get me moving, but he informed me that I would be put into the regular line with everyone else and have at least approximately 20 minutes to wait. The customer service tonight was more than abysmal. I would be decided to say that I may not eat there again in the future. But I definitely will be very careful about referring others because if this is a level of service, they can expect I would not want to feel responsible for their experience. I was also disappointed because he informed me that he attempted to call. But I also attempted to call them four times prior to leaving the parking lot of the church just to verify that they have my order. And they had their phone off the hook.

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 is extremely tasty (and high quality) and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The owner, Shawn, is nothing short of a gem. He's friendly, has intelligence, wit, and integrity. I really messed up by not taking pictures on this one. I've had the burgers (phenomenal, regular and smash burger style) before. This time I tried the brunch menu and had, to name a few: *Poutine *French Canadian Toast *Maple Sunrise Sandwhich *Boozy Fried Bread Pudding *Eggs Benedict All of these were delicious. Small detail, but the crispy breakfast potatoes are perfect- soft on the inside and with this immaculate crisp on the outside. Next time I will certainly be getting the Waffle Monte Cristo. I love waffles.. I love Monte Cristo sandwiches.. seems like an ideal combo. A few friends and I have been in a few times now and this past trip he took us around the city. Again, I cannot say enough incredible things about he and his restaurant. Kooky even has food challenges: a 7 lb burger, a two-person 15 lb burger, and a four-person massive 25 lb burger! I've done the 25 lber and they were able to cook that burger so perfectly! Most places would undoubtedly have had the middle undercooked. Side note: Shawn has also won the "Tennessee Restaurateur of the Year" award. Yeah, he's legit. Go here. Do it. Do not deprive yourself from greatness.

    Unique Girl Dinner concept, why choose one, when you can sample all 3+ in a FLIGHT :D…read more So that's just what this girl did. SOUP FLIGHT $14: Lobster bisque, She Crab (immature Blue female crab incl roe typically though this has no bright orange color) and Gumbo with rice. Portions are about a cup each and with the moreish sweet yeasty soft rolls, can easily fill you so pace and share! Gumbo was overly salty so gave that to my BILaw. ENTREE FLIGHT $16 Quail+$19 Redfish+$28 Elk Tenderloin When customizing your flight as I did the small plate price applies. Quail alone was filling, deboned in middle breast and thigh, as it's sweet spiced Creole stuffed and you get mini legs and wings to gnaw on. Like mini Thanksgiving. Took half home and actually ate on 'Flight' Home lol, it was just as tasty and far better than the pretzels haha! LA Redfish had a nice buttery panfried crusted and moist inside about 4oz with southern cheesy ham risotto topped with crab meuniere/browned butter. Elk Tenderloin medium rare as ordered, again great char, was naturally lean and tender, very tasty. A first for me, I would order over a regular steak tenderloin and only 1/2 fat! Killer deal :) Mac with asparagus spear was a tasty pairing. When server tells you 2-3oz Flight servings, in your mind it seems small but these were generous portions and easily fill you. I would share this after a salad or soup next time ;) Older menus point to the even more exotic ostrich, and Kangaroo loin, wow! But with Boar, Bison, Quail, Flounder, and Elk as current options, you can definitely dance around your less traveled palate. Definitely would return next time in Memphis and hunt down those exotics! Downed the hatch with a VINO Bel Glos FLIGHT Pinot Noir $18 spans the 3 premier cool climate CA AVAs-- Southern (Santa Maria Clark & Telephone) Central (Santa Lucia Balade) and Northern (Russian River Dairyman) liked this best but all deep rubys, cherry plum, some vanilla and spice. Very enjoyable flight. A shot of straight Sazerac Rye $10 and $4 Sweet Tea rounded off the table. Of course the guys went full hog entree, Shrimp & Grits $32 was the weakest of the plates as the shrimp were peeled and boiled? vs a more flavorful char & flavor or a spiced shell-on shrimp. Hubby was disappointed preferring my home made NoLo version. BIL's Veal Scalloppini $30 lemon caper butter and parm orzo, veggies really pleased him. It was more ordinary for my palate. All so stuffed thus passed on dessert but BIL took Key Lime Pie to go $7.50 reporting it was great next day. Server was attentive and friendly. Could use brushing up on menu, I had to look up the She Crab and Wine regions after asking. Waiting for a giant Fresh Pepper grind is a pain when it got busy, eventually brought us small grinder set to us. All the prices are very reasonable for the quality, white tablecloth ambience, elegant dining room with giant chandelier and darker woods while well lit with an upstairs tabled loft (although drab bathrooms could use some sprucing) downtown, AND importantly Valet parking, makes dining here such a breeze. Sidewalk patio for fair weather days too. Take FLIGHT and dine here, it'll make your girls giddy, Imma still flying high on my dining memories.

Exactly what bbq shrimp should be with a rich sauce, maybe with cognac added? Not sure, but I'm going on a treasure hunt for a recipe! The bubbles flight was fun--great start! Salad flight was a crisp palate refresher for the next two flights of red meat and fish! We loved the lobster ravioli and the Boursin filet, but the lobster Benedict will be in our dreams! The dessert flight was good with the crème Brûlée--avoid the peach cobbler since peaches are not yet in season! The lighting is perfect! Love how I could see the menu and my husband and still feel romantic! This restaurant would be competitive in NYC, so certainly a jewel in Memphis!

They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked.
