The food was delish! Probably one of the best chicken Phillies I've ever had. The chef not only cooked our meals but was the one who took our order. Portions were excellent for the price. My biggest issue with this place was the club-like atmosphere at 8pm on a Thursday night. It's a small space. The lights were dimmed so low. The DJ was playing music loud enough for a 5,000 sqft space. This place is not the vibe for a meal if you want to talk to your friends, but definitely the place for good food at a great price. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while so I was happy when my coworker suggested we go for lunch. Bad idea. The place was relatively empty. Seemed to be more to-go orders than anything. We came and were seated. The server told us it was her first day so she didn't have answers to any of the questions that were asked. I ordered the blackened catfish pasta and my friend ordered the blackened catfish meal. After waiting for quite some time, the server comes over and tells us that it takes about 45 minute to cook our food since everything is made to order. So if we were on lunch break, it would be better to call in the order. 1- it doesn't take 45 mins to scoop pre-made pasta or grill catfish. 2- You probably should have told us that information when we arrived, not an hour after we been sitting. Yes it took a full hour to get our food. With no one else in the restaurant. Should have been a clue. My food wasn't even piping hot when we got it. It was lukewarm as best. So the taste was just ok. Fish very salty. Pasta flavor was ok. My friend enjoyed her meal but was also disappointed in the wait and the warmness of the food. Presentation was good however. I asked for a to-go container and the check. The server said ok and then went to talk to another employee for an additional 20 min as we were waiting to finish up and leave. I had to go ask her again. And she said it's on the way. So in all, we spent about an hour and 40 minutes in this establishment during our lunch time. Not sure I have any interest to return. read more

Nothing. BUT in the end result the food was amazing. Couple of issues..a seafood pasta n 2 catfish dinners took over an hr n 15 to serve..but parties of 6 who came in after us were serve. The 2 catfishes came out first..my cousin was then told they were out of seafood and she had to switch her pasta to chicken n shrimp..which came 30 mins after that. I ordered 3 Strawberry hennys and she brought those 20 mins into me sitting dwn .she was working alone and the restaurant was packed. Whn she brought the drinks she advised me thta they were out of Strawberry mix and just had the drink without it. For 60...15 dollars a drink this was unacceptable. Drinks too expensive a 5th of Hennessey is 30.00 maybe 40.00 at liquor store..selling 3 drinks at 60..is the 5th plus a 20.00 profit who tht pressed. I shld of bn told of the lack of ingredients bfre the drink was brought out 2 me. No accommodation was made for unsatisfactory service n the bill charged was 80.00 and we were charged incorrectly. The restaurant was out of every thing..the waiter was stressed n tears falling out of her was over worked n under trained. The music was great..ijs Oh n to add injury to insult they were out of tarter sauce n gave me ranch as a substitute n the keptchup only after I asked for it. read more

This was my first time visiting. I came late at night and it did not disappoint too much. I ordered a turkey burger with fries. The burger was good but didnt have any sauce on it. I can see myself coming back and trying the shrimp. read more

This is a long story. I had two awful experiences. The first time I went I seen a bug crawling on the counter before I even ordered my food, so I left. Tried the restaurant a second time do to someone's birthday. Went here. Our waitress that sat us was great, then here comes someone else. To take our order, the drinks that we order? They didn't have it, and it took so long for our food to come out. And when it finally came. It was all wrong. Not lobster, the waitress never came back to tell me. Then here's goose inserts flying in our food. I don't won't to post the videos that I took. But the place is laid/ great vibe. It can be better. read more

I ate there the other day when I was downtown. It's right across the street from Court Square Park. It's a pleasant restaurant with dim lighting and wonderful music playing. My server was excellent, very attentive. I had the Cajun Shrimp Pasta which was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are down by the park be sure to stop in for a cocktail or some pasta, maybe both. read more

This was my first time visiting. I came across the seafood burger and have to have it. I went in as a first timer. It is a small spot in the Evergreen area, but there is plenty of flavor packed inside. I ordered to go. The seafood burger was delicious. The burger is about half a pound. It had large shrimp, snow crab, mayo, and cheese on it. Additional topics were on the side (onion, tomato, lettuce, etc.). The bun was super buttery and crisp. The fries that were included were delicious. They had just the right amount of season on them and they were cooked to perfection. Now, the customer service wasn't all that great. The staff was not welcoming, did not care to assist, and definitely did not send customers off with a smile. This may not be the case for all times, but I will give it a try again. read more

My daughter and I were visiting the area for our Family reunion this past weekend. Our hotel was right around the corner. When My daughter and I arrived Energy, around 1pm, a young lady was coming out. Turns out she was the waitress.. She came back in to the empty restaurant and walked us to a table. We waited for our other guests and ordered drinks. After we ordered our food, we waited over an hour for the first "starter" to come out. The 2nd came out about 20 minutes later and the actual meals followed about 25 minutes later. During this time, several others entered the restaurant. We even saw a couple to go orders come and go... As we waited for our food for over an hour and half, our drinks were NEVER refilled nor did the waitress come by our table... When the gentleman brought out the first starter we asked about refills and he said ok.... the "waitress" (whose name was Ms. B" on the receipt) finally came by to ask about refills - she must have been on break or something because we didn't see her in the restaurant at all...). When some of the food finally came, we asked that two of the meals come in take out because it was then time for us to head back to the hotel to pack up and leave... The food was brought out on plates... He didn't think to ask which ones needed to be packed up, instead he said he would let us pack it up... by this time is was close to 3pm. We asked for the checks and when we FINALLY got them (we had actually started eating some of our food because yet again, it took forever...), we saw that we were charged 18% gratuity! For what???? In Almost 2.5 hours, The waitress only came by to take our order and then disappeared, we barely got one refill, that we had to ask the cook for because we hadn't seen our waitress, and NO apology was offered for the delay in bringing our food out.. I will say the food was actually decent, but it was completely overshadowed by the lack of customer service... We didn't have time to argue about the charges so we paid and left. I usually don't write reviews, but this has to be the WORST experience I have had in a long time.... I usually read reviews before going to restaurants and the one time I didn't, I picked a restaurant with reviews that should have been heeded... I must also add my daughter order seafood pasta, Ms. B came out at some point and told her they didn't have crab for the dish, and walked away... I was confused, so I called her back over and asked If my daughter needed to order something else, or was she just informing her? She said, you can add Salmon or get extra Shrimp... Of course, the "extra Shrimp" my daughter requested was not added... there was barely any in the dish.. We ended up wasting that whole plate of food because it was such a hassle trying to get it through security at the airport... In the end, my bill was $75 for a starter and a entree and drinks and automatic 18% gratuity that was completely unearned... Please do better. I gave two stars because I did enjoy my quesadillas and the couple bites my daughter got of her food was good as well... read more

I have been ordering the blackened catfish Cajun pasta for my family of four for months, but lately I've been unable to get in touch with the restaurant. Well today I was able to place an order. I was terribly disappointed! I was supposed to have catfish fillets instead I was given catfish steaks with bones! I will not be going back again' read more

So where do I start? This place is not what I expected. I went there for dinner and as soon as I walked in it had a night club vibe with dim lighting and extremely loud music. I could not hear anyone including the server yelling in my ear all night. Ordered the shrimp and Chicken pasta. The shrimp was good but the chicken was really dry and chewy with cartilage pieces in it. I did not enjoy the meal and found out they had hookah so I ordered one. It took a while for the guy to bring me charcoal and $35 only thru a cash app was shady. I had asked if they had alcoholic drinks per their menu and was told no then after dinner they asked if I wanted to get a shot of whisky or tequila. So all in all i would not come back for dinner but I may come back for a hookah if they reduce the sound level by about 200 decibels. I could not hear anyone the next day. read more

What a gem! We decided to visit Energy Famous Pasta during the St Jude Marathon Weekend. We were staying at a hotel downtown and during the quest for carbs realized that securing a last minute reservation downtown was out of the question. We hopped in the car and headed over to Energy which was a quick ride from downtown in the Midtown/North Memphis area. The staff was nice and the place was small yet lively. I decided to order the Cajun chicken and shrimp pasta. We only had to wait about 15 minutes for our order. It was excellent!! My husband and son were both pleased as well. The pasta had great flavor and the portion size was just right. It came with a small breadstick. Highly recommend this spot! I heard the drinks were really good. I can't wait to go back. read more

This restaurant has moved to South Court St. Actually a nice lil spot but parking is a bit tight. The food was actually good, however they messed up our order.... read more

I am giving this food four stars for a couple of reasons but the biggest reason is I didn't taste any cajun spice in either dish! The beef on the burger was not hot as well as the fries however there was a nice amount of seafood on the burger. Another reason is I asked for specific item on my burger and it was left off. Third reason is the wait time. I do not mind the waiting as I thought is was descent (placed order @ 5:07 p.m. and left @ 5:52 p.m. on a Friday) and drove 18 minutes home so I feel the burger should have still been hot. The pasta was pretty okay but just picked at it because it was bland to me, only 3 sausages and the crab was not as meaty in the shell. Small crab meat in the pasta as well and mussels a bit over cooked. The upside is the atmosphere and establishment is lovely and customer service was great! I would definitely go back to try other items! read more

I had the catfish pasta and an alleged alcoholic beverage--with tax a gratuity was $48. I most definitely did not have an experience worth that. Catfish was okay, pasta required seasoning at home, and everyone cannot mix an alcoholic beverage. I haven't had hard liquor in months and still could recognize that I paid $17 for a mocktail. Customer service was good, cute spot. read more

Deep fried catfish was very good for a product from freezer to fryer with no additional prep of any kind. Service is TERRIBLE. There seemed to be four persons somewhere in thee but God knows what they do. It took a long time to take our simple order of catfish and fries. NO check backs see if All alright we got tired of wait to ask for the check and we're temp we temped to do a dine&dash. I don't think they would know we were gone. Ambiance is Rue morgue like. Red brick, black light, black table clothes. Black menus with print it was near impossible to read. They have the only bitting bugs we encountered in Memphis. Music was loud and not to our liking hip-hop. The address is on Court st, but has exact same name. read more

No cap the best Cajun pasta I've ever had. I saw they had a Cajun chicken philly too and you can bet I will be there tomorrow to try it. Great environment, super nice staff, the drinks looked great but I'm on my lunch great so you already know I will be back to try the drinks. 100% best Cajun pasta I've had I would definitely recommend this place.

Place an order online (7:40 PM) and was told order would be ready in 20 mins (8:00 PM). I arrived at the restaurant and order wasn't ready until 8:40 PM. Received order and one item was wrong. I ordered a strawberry shortcake jar and was given some other kind of dessert. I asked the server about it and she stated they were out of strawberry shortcake jars. So, I asked why wasn't this communicated to me instead of giving me something I didn't order. I asked for a refund for the dessert. She said she couldn't give me a refund. I asked for a manager. The manager came over and handed me a receipt and walked off. Hella rude, didn't apologize for the lack of communication on a menu item being out of stock. Food was good but lost a customer due to poor customer service! I would never patronize this establishment. read more

The food is fresh and made to order but the owner Britteny made my first experience of Energy even better. She came out the kitchen greeted us and asked how we heard about her place of business (FB-where Black Memphis eats). She was soft spoken, hard working, and positive energy lol. Her staff was even pleasant. We gave her some encouraging words and will DEFINITELY be back........I need to try their burger, grilled catfish, salad, and quesadillas lol. My friend and I ordered the seafood pasta and Memphis catfish (I apologize we didn't take a pic) We ordered our food to go and it came out piping hot we almost couldn't carry our food. Go SUPPORT this business read more

Extremely slow service. I placed an order online & arrived about 5 min after the given pickup time. I had to wait an additional 50 min to receive the order. Staff was very nonchalant about me having to wait that long for a pickup order. I can only assume it's normal for them. The Cajun Chicken & Shrimp pasta was not seasoned well. The Buffalo chicken egg rolls were okay but had way too much Buffalo sauce, causing the rolls to be soggy. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Very good pasta, very consistent. Glad to see someone doing something different in our neighborhood

food was great. still open past closing time, seasoned to perfection, nice staff, great environment.

First timer!! Ordered the Cajun chicken pasta ! It was a bit of a wait longer than expected ! The pasta was very good, chicken was tender and noodles weren't over cooked at all! I will say definitely chicken pasta but not Cajun lol but I did enjoy nonetheless read more

My coworkers and I stopped by the other night and we were so disappointed. It was 3 of us and 2 of us had been to the location on Jackson but this was all of our first times coming to the location downtown. First I want to say that it was not busy. We were promptly greeted and instructed to pick where we were going to sit. Our waitress come over quickly and was very nice. 2 of us couldn't decide what to eat, so we just ordered drinks and 1 person placed their whole order drink and entree. Our drinks came out quickly, off to a great start...it then went downhill. We all got the strawberry Hennessy and they were so weak. I know not all drinks come strong but I at least want to taste a hint of alcohol. And we didn't taste any. Just strawberry syrup! So there we sat for an hour talking and just chillin when we started to really question where our food was. Well their food because I was so upset with my drink I had already decided that once we left I was going somewhere else. Anywho...one of my friends needed to go and she went to ask how much longer would her order take...she was told that it hadn't even been started!!! A whole hour had passed and her pasta was not even started. She was heated, so we all decided to just pay for our drinks, cancel the food and go. Our drinks came to $23.92 a piece!! Now I know that adding gratuity is pretty standard now but no, no, no. As we were standing there trying to pay the women working there were cursing and getting upset and not being professional at all! Now if the drinks had been stronger I probably would of been slightly in a better mood and it would not of bothered me as much but essentially we paid $24 for juice and to sit. I was so disappointed, I had told my coworker (the one who had never had Energy Pasta) how great it was and she never even got to taste it!! Never again! I'm glad I got a chance to eat it when I did. read more

I made a B-Line to go to Energy after seeing someone post about it on Facebook. I was told my wait would be 30 minutes. Well...... IT WAS DAMN SURE WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF THE WAIT!!! I ordered the cajun chicken pasta, ADDED shrimp... From the other person's post to the product that I received, they are very consistent with their product. I only ate half of my dish. The pieces are fair for the quantity and quality of food. I would suggest you order ahead. They do have dine-in available. The sauce is definitely made in-house and not from a jar. The staff was very courteous. I am sure I will be back but I will call ahead. read more

BEST Cajun pasta I've ever had in my life. So happy I found this restaurant. Customer for life .

Nice clean friendly establishment. Love the R n B background music.I got the shrimp pasta with steamed broccoli. I know there's no shrimp pasta on the menu they had sold out of the sea food pasta .But the chef said he could make a shrimp pasta .A very hefty appealing portion was served very tasty but the broccoli could have been steamed a lil bit more jus my opinion but it maybe fine for others. Love the uncluttered menu. And yes I'm going back to get the sea food pasta read more

This pasta is INCREDIBLE. Memphis does not have anything like it. The service was also incredible. I wish they had a few more options with regards to vegetarians but that is so minimum compared to how amazing this food is. I am so impressed and will continue coming back again and again! read more

TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!! I called and placed an order and was told it would be ready at 2pm. I asked the lady to confirm the time because I had an event and wanted to get timing correct. When arriving to pick up the order I was told that the chef walked out and my order wasn't prepared. I was beyond upset! No phone call or anything!! We drove over 40mins to the downtown location just to be told that our order was never prepared. They didn't offer any substitute, empathy or anything!! This is why there's a saying about doing business with a "certain group people" and it sucks!! I have ppl coming over and now have to scramble to find food at the last minute. Completely unacceptable!! You can't ask for your community to support you then offer bad business/customer service! Do better!!!! read more

Service was horrible. The young lady that took our order was very nice, but she was the only one working. Her other coworkers were constantly yelling at her to to take food to the tables, which she did. She also had to make drinks, take orders, bag to go orders and tend to the dine in customers all by herself while they stood by and did nothing. One of the people that attended this restaurant with me did not recieve the egg rolls he ordered because the employee who was supposed to cook them went on a smoke break. Another employees child (5 yr old) was constantly running around the establishment climbing into chairs and constantly messing with the host who was doing everything. It was a very unprofessional environment. On top of that, one of the employees friend brought a dog into the establishment and he proceeded to allow the dog to sit on top of the table. He proceeded to feed the dog and groom him while other patrons were eating their food. ​ read more
