I am forever grateful for the welcome we received when our party of 10, relatives visiting from Mexico after years of not being able to see them, walked in. The care that our wait staff gave us, was just beyondthe best! The whole family enjoyed the food and service. You gave us something that was special, a loving memory with family. They loved the food, popcorn shrimp tacos were a hit and so was the margaritas! Thank you so much! I am so grateful we spenttime at this wonderful restaurant!

Venue: VEGETARIANS WILL APPRECIATE Memphis Soul is a normal looking restaurant located in Costa Mesa, California. It is nestled in SOBECA District. It took 15 mins to get a table which is not surprising given the popularity of the place. Musiccatered to a 40+ crowd a very ?chill? and relaxing Cali feel to it. 2. Food Quality I ordered the following: Old fashioned &Lemonade The Old Fashion could?ve been sweeter but then again, it can always be sweeter! Ordered the Down Home Gumbo, CollaredGreens, Hoppin? John and the Banana Fosters Bread Pudding. The Down Home Gumbo was flavorful and mildly spicy. The portion wasa little smaller than I anticipated but nonetheless acceptable. The rice was delicious and reminded me of my momscooking. Hoppin? John was also spicy but balanced, it is a dish that most vegetarians need to have. The Collard Greens weredelicious and were prepared with butter and honey. The initial sweetness tempered the normal bitterness of normal collardgreens. In fact, I didn?t taste any bitterness at all and I couldn?t stop eating them while I was waiting for dessert. TheBanana Fosters Bread Pudding was mildly sweet and it felt like an original older recipe and for whatever reason it took me backto the 70?s. 3. Service-Product Knowledge/Friendliness: Initially friendly but when I mentioned I?m a reviewer there was that?Plz stop the non-sense already? ???????? and I don?t blame her so I kept pressing on to taste more food. 4.Promptness/Delivery: Food delivery was a little on the slow side but it did appear a rush was right behind me and this solecomponent did affect the overall score. 5. Cleanliness: The place was clean but as with any busy place the flow of customersnaturally impinges upon the level of tidiness. 6. Price/Value: Excellent for being in Cali and for an established cuisine andlocale. Would give it a 3.5 rating but no such options are possible. Will be back to try breakfast in the future.

The shrimp grits is a unique take with fried okra, a house made barbecue sauce (that they could bottle up and sell) green Chile grits(mild) and perfectly cooked shrimp and poached eggs. 5 stars The breakfast burrito was more delicate in flavor but everythingwas fresh and delicious about it. Each bite had a piece of corned beef and veggies. The eggs were cooked wonderfully and thetortilla was fresh, so it was just good eats. Packaging was also great with these environmental friendly to gocontainers. Lastly, I called Memphis Cafe bc Doordash doesn?t list what?s actually in any of their menu items and Phil wassuper nice helpful. All around, 5 stars for delivery on food, service, and packaging. We look forward to trying more oftheir menu items?
