In the heart of downtown, this restaurant is bursting with Memphis culture. The owner, Mr. Willie, is still lively and approachable – he even greeted my mom warmly! I love the energy that must be embedded in the walls and the checkerboard floor, filled with memories. Even though I grew up in Memphis, I had no idea this place existed, but my experience here was incredibly rewarding!

During our visit from Dallas, we were in the mood for some authentic soul food, and this place certainly delivered. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly. We were particularly impressed that Mr. Willie was on hand to ensure our order was perfect. Fun fact: Mr. Willie has marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King!

Mr. Willie is one of the most disrespectful individuals that I’ve met in a long time. What place gets mad over someone not tipping??? There was not a waitress, we just ordered food and sat down. He is too old to be this ignorant. I will never step foot in this place again.

The breakfast was greasy, the prices were excessive, and the restaurant was unclean. I do not recommend it!

Walking in, it feels like you are coming to see family. Smiles all around and the food isn't that bad.

Willie Moore's restaurant in Memphis is a hidden gem that offers true Southern soul food. Despite its small, cafeteria-style appearance, the food is top-notch. The crispy and tender fried pork chops are a standout, as is the pork shoulder lunch platter which is full of flavor and accompanied by tasty sauce. The restaurant's owner, Mr. Willie, provides amazing hospitality that makes the dining experience even more enjoyable. While some patrons have cited issues with cleanliness and food quality, others have praised the delicious dishes and fantastic service. Overall, Willie Moore's is a must-visit for authentic Memphis cuisine.

The food was just OK. We ordered breakfast. The pancakes tasted better than they looked. The sausage had no flavor. The eggs were runny. The grits and bacon were great. $40 for 2 people for breakfast. Not a bad place but I don't have to return. The owner was nice.

THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUTDOWN NOW!!!!!! There's no way he's passing any health inspection because the place is fifty nasty including the kitchen, I should've walked out then but I try to support my black people. Everything is served on plastic very tacky for the over priced food he charged. My Chicken wasn't done which I tried to change out for bacon but he got smart luckily it was a woman that was working in the kitchen that help me, only thing good was the Orange Juice.IM VERY UPSET leaving this restaurant Never again and I advised anyone not to go!!!!

This isn't a chain restaurant! Amazing southern style soul food with an atmosphere to match it. Everything we are was delicious. The service might not be to everyone's liking, but that is honestly part of the charm and authenticity. Can't wait to go backagain.

Everything we had was delicious and the staff was very friendly, the home juices/tea reminded me of my childhood (skip if you don't like sugar ???? . Our family was stuck between nice friendly talk and amazing bites, highly recommend. Also, somethingtold me to try their catfish even though I usually don't like it and I didn't regret a single bite. We're stopping by again thenext time we're in Memphis.

Fried Pork Chops. This is the best fried pork chop I've ever had. It was crispy and tender. I normally don't order pork chops because they're over cooked which makes them dry and tough. But not these! Perfectly cooked and delicious.
