But all that is secondary to the food. I have been many times and I have yet to have a meal I didn't like, even after sharing bites with my significant other, whose tastes vary a lot from mine. Throw in the atmosphere both inside and outside and you have a wonderful restaurant for all kinds of special events.

I had a nice tequila and shrimp cocktail and could not get the attention of the bar staff to order more!! If you don't sit in the middle of the bar on a busy night you will be ignored. Too much attention on drink making and not much on the food end. So i tipped and told the manager and left. But I am one person who is dispensable so I don't matter. Outside patio is loud but on the water. But on a August night it is not very pleasant temperature wise. I would save my time and find another local experience.

This place is large inside with an exceptional atmosphere and excellent staff. We went for my sister birthday and she wanted seafood . Everything was so delicious , hot and seasoned to perfection.

I gave Pier 64 Seafood & Bar a second chance, and unfortunately, it was just as disappointing as…read morethe first. This time I ordered delivery, and the entire experience was unacceptable. The food arrived ice cold, soggy, and completely unappetizing. I didn't even eat it--that's how bad it was. The pasta barely had any chicken in it, which is ridiculous for a chicken pasta dish. The toast was soggy and tasted awful, like it had been sitting for a long time. The chicken wings were even worse--full of fat, undercooked/under-fried, and just plain disgusting. After two tries, I can honestly say I will not be returning or ordering again. Very poor quality, lack of attention to food preparation, and overall a waste of money.

How in the gash darn hell have I not written a review for The Half Shell Memphis?!?!?…read more I've been coming here since birth. Ok. Maybe not that long. Most definitely since I can remember. My parents had the blandest worst taste for food, so I was a depraved child as far as flavor was concerned. We ate at very blah places and my Mom was the pickiest person in the world, but.... She loved this fried shrimp! So we came here often. I grew up in Parkway Village so we were always nearby. Fast forward to my Yelp days. My first CM, Joelle had a part ownership of this place when I first started Yelping. We even had her going away party here when Yelp ruined the Memphis Elite Program with part time CM's for our city. She was part owner and we hung out there so it seemed inappropriate to write a review. Besides, I knew Danny pretty well too and that was also a conflict. Nowadays it's been bought by the folks that turned Forrest Hill Grill around. They have closed the location on Winchester (which I called years ago) and opened up in Germantown on Poplar. I have no idea who these people are so I guess it's time. I have not been to the new one, but I have seen the menu. I do not have any intentions of rushing to try it. Seems as if they butchered the whole dang menu. Anywho.... I still like this one. It's pretty run down, but the food is still good. It's still the original menu with all the treats. They have a freaking Monte Cristo sandwich folks! I know of less than five places left that still serve them. When is the last time you saw a twice baked potato? Here it is!! They still have a changing weekly, "daily special". They still have an intense regular bar business. Good luck getting a seat at the bar at any given time. Best of all they still have those damn tasty fried shrimp! Oh they are so good! The best ever man. The sauces they serve are great. I've been up and down the menu and it's almost always great. Oysters are some of the best charbroiled that there are anywhere in Shelby County. Long live OG Half Shell! Please never change! '25 - 44/111

I didn't get the low boil crab but this place gets all my lil stars. 1. I walk in and the service…read moreis efficient but friendly. I ordered the #7 which I believe is the friend shrimp basket. I got 15 pieces (they tell you on the menu) of standard sized shrimp for $18. I find this incredible because where I live that's maybe 7 pieces of shrimp. The shrimp is not small (smaller than butterfly but bigger than popcorn) and seasoned well. It came with fries and something, but they let me sub for fried okra and crab pasta salad. 2. My picky sis loved the okra. I was very pleased in general because it was a lot of okra and everything tasted good. But what you should take from this is my picky sis ate a few shrimp and okra and was very complimentary. Let's talk about the service. The place is a tight room that is all white besides the posted menus. Spartan is the right adjective. Anyway, they offered me a lil bag of popcorn for my wait because they know ppl get testy waiting for food. It's free popcorn and I thought a nice touch. My wait was probably 15 minutes and they have ordering online. I trust places with online ordering. They also take square and I think Apple Pay. Again, I am pleased. In summary, this is a great place that thinks about the small things but looks less welcoming than what it is. I've told several of my people to go. If you're like my sis and need lots of yelp reviews before trying a place, just go. It's good stuff. I certainly didn't expect to see a crab spot by my childhood home, but here we are.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food had good flavor, and I would consider ordering it again. Unfortunately, it was served only lukewarm instead of at the proper temperature, which took away from the overall experience. What stood out most, however, was the presentation of the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by numerous handwritten paper signs and messages written on dry-erase boards throughout the dining area. For a restaurant with mid-range pricing, this came across as unprofessional and distracted from the dining experience. I was also surprised that there was no standard silverware available--only individually wrapped, inexpensive plastic forks and spoons. As I was leaving, I noticed several customers were being served their meals in takeout containers rather than on traditional plates, which further gave the impression of a casual takeout establishment rather than a dine-in restaurant. Overall, the friendly service and flavorful food were definite positives, but the food temperature and the overall presentation of the restaurant left me remembering why I rarely choose to dine at Red Pier. With a few improvements to presentation and attention to detail, the experience could better match the prices being charged.

The food is always fresh and if by chance there is an issue, they readily resolve to satisfaction. While my issues have been few and very far, I've witnessed a few "challenging" guests. They were handled them with dignity and professionalism. I appreciate being able to watch sports (especially basketball) while dining. The Southwest Cobb is my favorite, mainly because of the variety of vegetables and the level of freshness. If you like spice, the blackened shrimp has an excellent kick. If playing it safe (heartburn is real), simply ask them to go lighter on the blackened. Both the Poplar Ave and Cooper Young locations have an active security guard/lot attendant on the parking lots. There is such a relief in knowing that you don't have to anticipate a broken window or worse when returning to your vehicle. I give Soul Fish Cafe ! While they are known for the fried and blackened fish, the shrimp is always perfect. Quote me on that!

Soul Fish Cafe offers comfortable casual dining. For me, it is reminiscent of the Mayflower (restaurants located in North Carolina). Our server was really sweet and made several on point recommendations. I ordered the fried catfish which was fair. I love hush puppies but found these to have onions in them. From what I smelled, they are worth a try. I specifically loved the sweet tea. Soul Fish Cafe is a Memphis staple so I'm sure I'll be back again.

You order at the counter and seat yourself. They do supply the tools needed, bibs, gloves, and crackers. Each table has a big bowl which we assumed is for your shells. We ordered the Big Island Gold as it was perfect for the both of us. They were out of sausages so we did ask for extra shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection, even the potatoes. I'm guessing since it's an order and seat yourself kind of place, they don't really check up on you too often. For the most part this is good spot.

It was hard to pull it apart and the meat stuck to the skin. EVERYTHING was drowned in a butter sauce. The sauce was too much so I had to wipe the food off. The crab legs were overcooked as well.

The casing in the sausage was so tough that the meat pushed out when I bit into it but the casing never separated. This is really the worst meal I have had, and it was not cheap. The staff was nice. That is the best I can say. I almost never leave a bad review, but the food was sooooo disappointing.
