    Boy oh boy! This was absolutely delicious. The fish was crunchy, the bread was soft, the fries were amazing. 10/10. We also got some ranch dry rub wings that were great too

    We stopped by before a concert at the Forum last time we were in town, thinking we'd grab some food and drinks. Online said they were open -- and technically, they were... if you count "limited menu" as "basically nothing available." There was no host, no bartender greeting, and no clue what was going on, so we seated ourselves like it was some post-apocalyptic dining experience. The drinks were fine, in the same way gas station coffee is "fine" when you're desperate. No water unless you ask (apparently hydration is an upgrade), and the bartender gave us about as much info on the menu as a Magic 8 Ball. I brought my wife here to impress her -- turns out, I just impressed her with how bad I am at picking places. Four drinks and some wings cost $114, and the best part? Gratuity was already included. Love a place that rewards itself for mediocre effort. If you've got literally any other option -- vending machine, food truck, pretzel stand at the concert -- take it.

    My wife and I stayed at The Peabody in Memphis this past week, and the night before we left we decided to try Curfew for dinner as it was right across the street. Overall it was a bit of a mixed bag, but ultimately it was mostly a good experience. The room was nice - open space, dimly lit, enough for a cool spot for a date night. Our waitress was also the hostess - not sure if they were understaffed or that's just how it goes there. But for the most part she was fine. Had a bit of a "whatever" attitude but was nice. There were times where we couldn't track her down so we needed to ask other staff for things. The main "negative" aspect of our night (to jump ahead a bit) was when we got the check. It was noticeably more expensive than expected. I typically do a good job having a roundabout idea of what we're spending when we order, so I knew something was up. It wasn't until after we asked for an itemized copy of the receipt (that we had to ask someone else for), that we saw that she included gratuity in the total without saying anything about it. I'm glad I noticed because I could have easily given double gratuity without even knowing I was doing so. I was a bit frustrated with that aspect of the experience. The food was mostly good. We ordered the bbq shrimp as an appetizer - their creole bbq sauce was AMAZING! I couldn't get enough. I got their smash burger as an entree. Not the best burger I've ever had but it was definitely pretty good. My wife got the bolognese which had absolutely too much pepper. It was mostly all you could taste in each bite. All in all, it was a decent experience. I think I'll head back the next time I'm in the area for some more bbq shrimp... maybe get a couple orders to go :)

    First time eating here! They had the breakfast options until 3 pm. I decided to go with the chicken and waffles, and oh my, that chicken was SOOO dang good. The waffle was like a "continental breakfast" style, which was super good and had the vanilla taste. I also added ranch, and didn't taste like hidden valley. The super sweet bartender that was attending me for my to-go order was super fun and friendly. I wish I knew her name, but she was great. While waiting, the manager checked on me, making sure I was set. This is an awesome place! Can't wait to come back and try new options.

    I love a late night dinner that serves more than bar food. We popped out after storms and when one place only doing bar food, Curfew was still serving dinner. Had a" JA" which was Henn, Rum mixture that had me a bit relaxed. I had the salmon, wifey had the chicken and we were both satisfied... The place is decorated nice and service was solid..

    While in Memphis we went out to dinner with some family plans and Curfew is where we landed on going. From the photos it's such a cute place and it lives up to that in person. It's a cool place to go. The drinks also lived up to where I wanted Curfew to be, the food however was middle of the road. Nothing amazing, but also nothing awful. Our waitress was funny and nice, and she helped us figure out drinks. While Curfew seems to be the place to be, even on a Friday night not a ton of people were there and that should have been a clue for us. I would go back, but I would lower expectations.

    Came here visiting from Chicago. Restaurant had a good location - it was easy to find parking only 2 blocks away on a Friday night. Restaurant is modern and stylish; however the floors and our table were a bit sticky. I had the bbq flatbread and it was just ok. I was searching for something fresh and acidic to break up the cheese, chicken and bbq sauce. Some red onion, cilantro, pickled jalapenos would take this dish up a few notches. My sister had the fried chicken sandwich. She said it was well-seasoned, hot and fresh. She also enjoyed her fries. As for the service, our server, Denni, was very nice and upbeat, but also inattentive and very slow. The wait for the food was longer than average I'd say but not horrible. Then we waited forever for a box and check. Also, when we walked in there was no hostess to receive us. She came out a couple of minutes later, though. Lastly, I'll note that 2/3 bathroom stalls in the women's restroom had no toilet paper. So, overall it was just an ok experience, nothing to write home about.

    Excellent breakfast! tasty, good service. Good atmosphere. Wife had the breakfast wrap with sausage also thought it was very tasty. Good coffee, which is a plus ! Will definitely be back.

    Came to this restaurant for a birthday dinner. First off, we were late. The birthday girl was behind schedule so the rest of us delayed our arrival because of that. Once we walked in, to an empty establishment, we were greeted by the hostess. We let her know we were there for a reserved and her response was "the reservation was at 5". She seated us and our waitress came over. The waitress had nice/nasty energy the entire time. I know that energy when I hear/see it. While we understood the lateness, the restaurant was pretty empty outside of the bar. Example: I asked her to bring me a shot, since she was bringing the birthday girl one, I never received it. The Food...average at best. The drinks...I had the Ja Drop. It was pretty good. The ambiance...it's a nice chill vibe. Honestly, I'd probably never go back.

    I really wanted to like this place because it's super cute inside and they have a really good looking all day menu. But that where it ends. We went in, sat ourselves as a server pointed towards a table and told us to sit there. We did. The tables were dirty. He came and got us our drinks then came back after a few and took our order.. three times because every time he came back something wasn't available.. the flat breads, no biscuits, no fish. Basically, they had wings and burgers.... Anyways we get two burgers chicken wings and a side of fry's with a mezcal old fashion it seemed no one knew how to make... when it was made it took about 20 minutes to get to me after asking two times..... the shining star WAS the food. The two burgers were good. The lemon pepper wings were delicious. If anything I'd come back just for those but I'd dine out. You're forced 18 percent automatically so the service shows they don't care. They're getting paid anyway. I wish I could recommend but I can't.

    Was hesitant to go because reviews weren't that good but food was really great and service was excellent. We came in late on Christmas Day but food still came out so fast and staff was so nice. I had the brisket burger which was delicious. Cajun pasta was great. Nuts and meat appetizer & sweet wings also recommended. Meat lovers pizza was good but nothing special.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

    A friend was visiting (5/9) and we decided to dine in the Cooper - Young area for dinner. When we…read moregot to the area, we decided on The Beauty Shop. My friend owns a larger catering/events establishment in Georgia and was excited about the menu at the establishment. We walked in (on a whim) and asked if tables were available (clearly we saw some on the patio and inside once we entered). The greeting from the hostess was - let's just say less than inviting. . It was around 7:40p and she said "well since you don't have a reservation, the soonest I can get you in is 8p" ...no problem we will walk around until then. My initial thought, screw this reservation - if the hostess has this type of demeanor, what could we expect in terms of service? As my friend was still excited about the menu and to taste some of the pairings, we decided to wait. At 7:59 (like clockwork), the notice of our table being ready was sent. The hostess seated us and again, I wasn't optimistic of what would occur during the visit. The server that greeted us was GREAT!!! We ordered SEVERAL appetizers and drinks and all were AMAZING - (the grilled avocado with the shrimp was worth the trip alone). For dinner we ordered Peking Duck and Ribeye Steak Salads (and more drinks). Both were amazing. And while the desserts looked divine, there was absolutely no room. We were impressed with the old Beauty Shop decor - it really was a conversation piece. It's small and quaint and we had a lovely chat with the patrons alongside us. The food and service EXCELLENT! I'm glad that I didn't follow my first inclination to leave (because of the hostess and the "curt" demeanor). On a high note, I did notice the hostess being very gracious to the others that she encountered. Maybe it was my cologne - not everyone likes to smell YSL ‍.

I had a perfect dirty martini and my husband had an excellent old fashioned ( chose not to do the smoked version. ) We were seated at the time of our reservation with courteous and prompt attention from our waiter. He informed us of all the specials and gave us the right amount of time to relax before ordering. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. I like the atmosphere, not too large of a dining area, I like the separate room of tables, with a fireplace, along with the area of booths for a more intimate setting.

I do believe C and I have only been here once as a couple. It did not go well at all, so we have not been back together, as she is holding a bit of a grudge. It's a long story but it all ties back to service. That night we had the worst table in the building and service was spotty at best. Food was still pretty good, just whole ass annoyed by the entirety of the rest of the experience. I am lucky enough to be able to be taken to/host dinner with clients and manufacturers a good bit. They like places like this so I get by ever so often. Gotta love expensed meals!!! Tehehe I like the open kitchen concept they have and the bar is really cool. The metal shelves at the bar that store the booze are bad ass. It's warm and cozy and has a great vibe overall. The last time we sat on the enclosed patio. I had not sat out there before. I think the larger tables all go out there. We had seven and there was another group of about twenty in the same room with us. Food ranges from fairly good to fucking great. I've never had anything bad here, but a few sighs have been had, mostly by misunderstood expectations of what I was getting I would say. So, quite possibly I am the problem. As with most of my problems, actually... The oysters Rockefeller are very different from the norm. Fried oysters on a side of spinach. That's what it seems like. I ate it up, don't get me wrong. I did just switch to only fried oysters after the first one. No need wasting stomach space on spinach. Charbroiled oysters is always a good move and the preparation remains traditional on that one. I do find the oysters to be quite massive and hard to chew the whole thing at once. Cutting them just seems silly though. Steaks are prepared very well and to your liking each time. I have never had a bad one. Good flavor too. I am going to spring on the Hawaiian Ribeye the next time I go on my dime. It's a classic that I remember from Steak and Ale as well as Houston's. Both now gone from Memphis. I like the she crab soup an awful lot, and just about every entree I have had here is killer. You really cannot go wrong with the food. Just order something you normally like and boom. I will also say this. The short ribs I had last time were some of the best I have ever had. Bravo on that! Additionally, I had two giant pieces for like $40! I could only eat one of them after all of the appetizers. Oh.... Yea. They have a hot lobster roll that is good! You don't see that in Memphis very often!! Get you some. Wait.... Lamb Lollipops. They have evolved some of the years but they have really good lamb chops. They used to be the exact same dish as their sister concepts of Itta Bena, BB Kings, and Lafayette's. I am not sure if the whole family still has the old version or not. Here it has changed a good bit. As I write this, I crave it.... Ugh. Damn your foods and your seductive prowess food skills! Lastly, Tommy Peters did great things for this city's food scene. I am sad that he is gone but I know he was proud of this one! Ok. That's enough, Adam.... No one reads this crap anyway. '26 - 48
