    Date Night!! It was my turn to pick! My golf league ran late this evening, so I had Daddy meet me close by the golf course. I am so happy my golf buddies really get into our date nights and give me suggestions all the time. We found Trina from our Tony's days, and she is still making drinks and providing A1 service! Everything was delicious! Also, we enjoyed watching the tennis match on the giant screen! 10/10

    Got the chance to check out he new menu and I just say it was great! I highly suggest visiting this place and checking out the new things. You can also play games. My favorite was the brisket grilled cheese!!! Sooooo flavorful!!!

    I love this place! Idk why it has a low star reviews, think about it - a chill, hotel bar with a pretty extensive menu to be called "small bites" - I've been here numerous times this year and actually book this hotel because of the restaurant onsite and Ms Trina at the bar. I usually order food to go to eat in my room but occasionally eat at the bar and it's consistently excellent service and delish food either way!! And she remembered me after maybe the 2nd time. I'll be back - my fav hotel in Memphis

    Erling Jensen Small Bites is inside the Doubletree Hotel on Sanderlin. The kitchen is Jensen's, the staff is the hotel's. I always get worried when an amazing chef opens another restaurant. You know that no one can be in two places at once. Well, let me tell you. Jensen was not there and I had the BEST salmon dinner. OMG! YUM!!!!!!!! Inside the restaurant are two TopGolf Swing Suites. You can reserve the area to eat and drink and play golf. I saw families arrive as I was leaving. We snuck in around 2 p.m., when people are not usually at restaurants, which is why you see empty seats. It was a Saturday and started filling up around 3:30 p.m. I saw a guy with his wife and kids come to meet his other friend with his wife and kids. He had his own golf clubs strapped over his shoulder. LOL. The restaurant appears to be a destination for both golf lovers and foodies alike. The person I had the late lunch with said his burger was outstanding. He also ate every French fry on his plate. Chef Jensen owns a classic French restaurant on Yates Road. He's from Denmark and was trained in Europe. You'll find some entrées from his menu and what they call shareables that make this a good place for groups. There's also a section of handmade cocktails. He obviously trained the kitchen staff with impeccable detail. It's fascinating that he was able to bring an upscale twist to a casual atmosphere and it totally works! If you love Erling Jensen's, you must go. If you love golf, you must go. If you love good food and drinks, you must go.

    Lamb chops

    Ordered a medium rare ribeye and came out rare and chewy as could be. Wife got lamb chops that were cold and no flavor sweet potatoes. Definitely avoid at all costs.

My sandwich was very good! $10 is pretty fair for what I got. I loved the sauce, the meat was also really good. The tater salad was AMAZING! I'd get a large of it everytime I eat there if this was a local place for me. The meal was a solid 9/10 If you're in Memphis and you want some good BBQ made with heart and soul, then you should try Elwood's. The only thing missing from my meal that would've completed it for me was some hot buttery cornbread. I'll certainly be back to try their ribs and other foods!

Thankfully, right…read morewhen I walked in, someone pointed me in the right direction and said, "If you're trying to decide, go with the Redheaded Stepchild." I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

A step inside at the same time the counter guy hollered back to let the cooks know a graduation was about to begin so "expect to be busy soon" confirmed that fact!

This place is quirky with its decor but on point with the food. Get the bacon! Always get the bacon! I'm still dreaming about it! Be warned! We were told during busy times, the line stretches around the building for a steady 8hrs at a time! May the timing of your visit ever be in your favor!

The house made biscuits are a must have! Or try one of their biscuit sandwiches. My husband had the Dirty South biscuit sandwich which came with a perfectly fried green tomato and pimento cheese. I had The Best Omelette, which was indeed one of the best omelettes I've had. The salsa verde added a flavorful kick. You could easily tell that everything was made fresh and in house because the flavors were so on point. We are looking forward to our next visit not only to see our friends but to eat here!

The food and coffee was so delicious. I wouldn't say I'm a food snob, but I'm particular about breakfast foods, and this made me very happy. We each ordered a coffee and the bacon potatoes to share. I ordered the Juniper Benedict and my friend ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy. The bacon potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft and slightly crunchy with plenty of cheese and bacon. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and they used a regular house-made biscuit that soaked up the egg yolks perfectly. The restaurant was pretty big, but the ambiance felt like a small-town diner. The staff was super kind and attentive, too. The cost is par for the course for a nice diner in a big city. TLDR: Not a bad word to say about this place.

Later during the meal, he admits that Momma's is one of his spots, so that's saying a lot. It sort of looked like another bar/restaurant from the outside, but they have a nice outdoor patio overlooking an old decrepit building which is at least some scenery. Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good. Overall, I really liked this place and it's one of the best meals I've had in Memphis the handful of times I've visited.

There is plenty of parking in a lot across the street. We went inside and found it to be pretty busy, but we got a table for 4 quickly. The place was clean and homey-feeling and I loved the fact that they used disposable plates, utensils and napkins! It is probably way easier on the crew to clean up, and it adds to the relaxed atmosphere. I had the corn nuggets to start, yum! We finished them easily, they were so good. Then the entree of my chicken tenders, beans, and Mac and cheese came out, along with my sweet tea. The sweet tea was perfect, I drank a whole one during my meal and they gave me another to go in the souvenir Gus's cup. The food was just great, chicken was juicy and perfectly crunchy on the outside. Beans and Mac and cheese, delicious! I ate all of it even though I was stuffed. I even went so far as to order a piece of pecan pie for dessert, but unfortunately our server came back out to tell us they were out of it! Guess it wasn't meant to be (this time)!
