Memphis Soul Southern Cooking

I had dinner at Memphis Soul tonight and it was pure pleasure. The owner was personable and kind, the food was fresh, savory, and delicious! I've been in Memphis for a conference for a week and my dinner here was the best food and service I had! The restaurant is colorful and filled with charm. Go if you have the chance, you will enjoy it immensely.

I Wish I Could Give This Place 0 Stars. Food Took Extremely Long, Chicken Had No Flavor, Mac&Cheese Was Salty. Never Coming Back To This Place! Please Don't Waste Your Money!

The food is absolutely delicious, I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans amazing the cornbread muffins were great , the portions are huge. The atmosphere is really nice and pleasant most definitely will return and bring others.

My family and I love to try to check out some local spots when we travel. Memphis Soul (formerly 99 Cent Soul Food Express seemed like a great spot for lunch after visiting the nearby Civil Rights Museum It was FANTASTIC. No frills. Simple. Delicious. Order at the front counter. Wait a few minutes (even if it doesn 't seem busy, you might wait 10 minutes or so ... but it is WORTH IT! . Then they 'll call you back up and give you a bunch of styrofoam containers. Sit down and eat. It 's not glamorous, but it is delicious. My teenage son was the first to say it was far better than Charlie Vergos ' Rendezvous the night before. My wife and I soon agreed. Smothered chicken breast I kept wanting to stop, but I couldn 't skip one more bite about eight times. (Chicken itself was *maybe* a little dry, but the gravy was excellent and the breading was so good! Rosemary chicken thighs moist, tender, wonderful. Brave BBQ chicken. I don 't know what it 's brave, but my son ate all of it. Mashed potatoes with gravy: Excellent. Greens: Wife loved them. Green beans: Sad and watery. Obama iced tea and lemonade mix ... poured haphazardly from pre made iced tea and lemonade bottles. Maybe just stick with water or soda. This place was quite possibly our favorite food in Memphis. Eat here.

I ordered thru door dash and I was floored how good it was!!! I mean, y'all...their food hits different. I got fried smothered chops, yams, okra and side of peach cobbler. It was like eating pot luck after church good! Mane, they got my business, hook line and pork chop! You can taste the love, keep doing what ever y'all doing!
