Sweet Potato Pie - Three piece chicken dark plate; mashed potatoes in gravy with the sweet potatoes casserole

The place is nice. The service is welcoming, but the food would be a choice if you didn't feel…read morelike cooking. I had the three piece dark chicken with the sweet potatoes casserole and mash potatoes with gravy. The mashed potatoes had quite a few lumps and everything kind of gave a powdery taste (gravy, casserole, and mashed potatoes). When I say powdery... I'm saying that it just wasn't giving "homemade". It's not intolerable but it's not what you look for when you go to a soulfood restaurant. I also wasn't a fan of the wait. We have some made to order items so it was understood about the 20 minute wait, but we didn't get our food until almost an hour after paying. The extra time waiting seemed to be due to fried green tomatoes not being made in tandem with the fried chicken. As a result, everything was luke warm by the time we got the food. It's truly sad because the flavor is definitely there. The texture, the powdery residual taste and the wait time leaves me at this place being a one time experience at the least and a, "if I had to" at the most.

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was so much better that I expected and it resolved…read moremy rather bad day. I ordered the catfish with a side of mac and cheese and green beans. The catfish is made to order, was perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Definitely top 3 catfish meals for me in the area. The mac and cheese was some of the best I have had. It was creamy and savory, it wasn't too fatty and had a firm texture. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The green beans had a bit of a mushy texture but I really enjoyed regular green beans. The meal comes with a side or cornbread which was filling , fluffy and sweet. Fantastic soul food for me. The banana pudding was also delicious. You can also actually taste banana not just sugar. The people working there were honestly so kind and chill. They knew what to recommend and added to the dining experience. My only criticisms come with how some of the food is prepared for example the green been texture being on the mushy side is likely due to it being presented similarly to a buffet. I was also unable to have a whisky due to the bar being closed however it was 2pm on a weekday. Overall great experience

Stopped by this place on a work trip with some coworkers and it did not disappoint…read more First of all, I will say Andrea was an excellent server and whatever she's being paid, she deserves more. She was attentive, recommended menu items, and made conversation while taking orders. The customer service was great. The "muddy" ribs were great and the wings were even better. Definitely the best bbq I've had in the Memphis/Mississippi area so far. I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in the area for sure.

Over hyped ribs and bbq Hot the mix of wet and dry rub and…read morelet me tell you They were dried out and almost cooked too long the instead of giving you the wet ones cooked wet they just smother the dry rub with sauce and not a lot of it 4 places I will put here that have better dry and wet ribs is tops bbq, one and only bbq and chilli's and even Applebee's as the ribs I got from Memphis BBQ were not even close to being as good as tops dry rub which is very surprising to me seeing the hype over the Memphis barbecue Company as being a championship cook-off place to have this horrible of a rib almost flavorless dry rub you couldn't even taste the dry rub you could taste the overcooked meat it's almost like they cooked ribs with no seasoning at all and put the dry rub on afterwards and most of it fell off and the side that they put the sauce on was almost burnt. This should be an embarrassment for them to do something like that I know it's Horn Lake and Horn Lake has a bad rap of having some of the worst restaurants on the planet (fast food and dine in) but they could at least try. They're Cajun pasta was so bad my wife had to add Cajun seasoning to it to make it half way descent The fried sucked, the baked beans were actually good 3.5 star good ,I remember when they first opened up here they were awesome but now they are just over priced mediocre food. The Corky's BBQ ribs you buy at Kroger are better than these ribs 100% better so don't waste your money on the ribs they're barbecue sandwiches might be good I haven't tried one of them yet this year I don't know if I ever will be but their ribs were a disgrace to Memphis barbecue all together there are tons of locally owned Memphis barbecue shacks with 100% better ribs in these so don't believe the hype also the service is ok I guess,well the people at the door let me know where to go to pick up my food but know One was there for me to check in with so I just looked for my name on the shelf, the ambients was that of any BBQ place . They do not have an app in the play store so you will have to go to their website to order,and do not believe the pickup time as your food will be sitting there getting cold before you even think of heading there to pick it up , they are pretty quick with getting them together so that's a good thing if you dine in

We had a really good experience at Grand Buffet! I feel like this buffet can be hit or miss, but…read moretoday was very fresh! I think I would have given them a 3.5 stars if you could give half stars. Monday-Friday they have a lunch buffet for adults from 11 am-3:30 pm for $14.70! This seems to be the cheapest price, but can also come on other days and times (photo attached with updated prices). You can also get a takeout box which they weigh to see how much it would cost you. We immediately got a seat and were able to get our food no problem! The restaurant was very busy and people really seemed to be enjoying coming. They do have a "wall of shame" when you first come in with people that have left the restaurant without paying for their food. I have never seen this before and find it interesting they screenshot their security cameras and print off photos of people to put on the wall! I hate they have had so many people leave without paying...just wanted to mention it since it was a shock to me the first time! The restrooms are very dark and not super clean. The water does get hot though! Overall the food was really good! The sushi wasn't super fresh tasting but other than that liked the other food.

We buy take-out at this business atleast twice a month so our cost is usually predictable. We…read morenoticed whenever this cashier-Manger, listed on our receipt, is not working, our price is lower. He is an asian man and always there on Sundays. Twice we challenged him on our total because it seemed high. When we got our phone to do the math, he immediately lowered it by 10%. On the receipt during our last visit, he first said it was $53.74. After the challenge, he lowered it to $49.22. The receipt read total of $53.74 if tip of $4.52 offered. This has happened twice, that we know of. Be careful when you order take-out. We should be allowed to see the weight of the food. Deceptive business practices seem to be occuring here. That 10% tip could greatly add up. Who leaves a tip for take-out?

"How the South does fast food!" That's the slogan and I'll be damned if this isn't the best…read moresouthern fast food anywhere around these parts! It's a brilliant concept really. It's a meat and three kind of place with many options of proteins and veggies to choose from. It's a larger and more diverse menu than you will find at any place that is quick like this. It's way nicer inside than any other fast food place, that's for sure. Great color scheme. Floor plan flows well. You can see where to access the bevs, condiments, and rest rooms easily. I personally like these the best in this order: Fried Fish Baked Wings Fried Pork Chop Pinto Beans Corn Cornbread Chicken & Dumplings Sweet Potato Casserole Mac & Cheese Mashed Potatoes They also have: Baked fish and chicken Greens Potato Salad Black Eye Peas Fried Okra Broccoli Casserole Fries Fried Broccoli and many more... Food flies out of the kitchen fast, I am not sure how they do it and keep it all so fresh! The people are super friendly and most helpful. Smiles on everyone's faces makes you know that they are happy and taken care of by management and the owners. I'll be back for sure! Enjoy my years of fried food pictures below! Tehehe '25 - 8/111
