We recently became empty nesters and have decided to try one new restaurant each weekend. This…read moreweekend we ended up at Bog & Barley and it did NOT disappoint. The restaurant has a really neat vibe and is decorated better than most of the restaurants in the memphis area. We came at 5:00 on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately without reservations, but when we left, they did have a small wait to get a table. We started with the pimento cheese toastie which was garlic bread with melty pimento cheese on top. We both really enjoyed it. I decided on the filet with peppercorn sauce. I asked for it it to be butterflied. My steak was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of pink and it sliced like butter. I got the peppercorn sauce on the side and used it for a dipping sauce. I really liked the sauce, but it is really peppery. While I loved it, some might find it a little spicy. My husband had the bourbon glazed porterhouse pork chop. His was cooked perfectly fly as well and was super tender. He really enjoyed it, but mentioned that the sauce did have something in it that gave it a little spice. We shared an order of rosemary duck fat fries as the entrees come à la cart with no sides. The fries re heavy on rosemary which my husband didn't care for. I enjoyed them, but they were definitely not my favorite. Neither of us cared for the mayo sauce that they came with and preferred to eat them with ketchup. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

The service was fantastic. Some appears to be rush or don't want to be bothered. But overall, they…read moreare very good. Fanatic decore, and ambiance. It is a good place to go to socialize. Unfortunately, the food has been consistently underwhelming during my recent visits. I first ordered the lamb chops. They were not what I would consider traditional lamb chops and were surprisingly chewy and difficult to enjoy. I returned and decided to try the Irish Curry Chicken. It was, without exaggeration, one of the worst dishes I've had there. The menu described it as chicken thigh, but it was clearly chicken breast. The dish lacked basic seasoning and flavor. There was very little salt, umami, or curry flavor. The rice was wet, overcooked, and mushy. Overall, the entire meal tasted like something taken from a grocery store freezer section and reheated. At this point, I would recommend sticking to the fries and the burgers, which remain the strongest items on the menu.

This Irish/Sports pub (soccer) is deceptively large. Located near the pedestrian zone downtown you…read moreenter this old building through a small vestibule where you will find the Brass door. The main level holds a bar and banquette seating along the opposite wall. Restrooms are at the back. There is an upper level with table seating and a basement bar and stage that is set up when they have live music inhouse. The menu is varied and includes Irish fare such as corned beef & cabbage and bangers & mash. I went with a spinach salad, which is quite nice, lightly dressed with beets & goat cheese. I like spice, but the spicy pecans were a miss for me. The Irish eggrolls are very well prepared. Ungreasy, flavorful, good ratio of fillings to wrapper. The dressing adds to the overall flavors. My dining companion ordered the cornedbeef and cabbage which comes with whipped potato. It looked amazing with a nice portion of cabbage and cornedbeef. I am told it's very good, and if it tastes like the egg rolls, I believe it. Malt vinegar, mustard and hot sauce are on the table along with s&p if you like to add those to your meal. Staff were friendly and attentive. Full bar with beer on tap including Guinness. Football (soccer) was on the TV's. I asked about the upstairs and was offered a look around, which I did. I love the old tiled floors and other preserved, vintage parts of this old building. Good stop!

The Fish extremely breaded and overcooked. If you get fish nuggets, there's barely any meat because…read moreit's fried so hard. I tried the fillets. The perch was fried so hard that there was barely any meat. It was just all two overcook to eat.. The fries are never crispy. they're just like half cooked french fries. The seasoning is good on the food, which is why they got two stars. I have visited this restaurant five times and each time the food seems to get worse. So I will be looking for a new restaurant.

I believe they are committing FISH FRAUD…read more The fish they sell as 'Catfish' SURE DOES NOT TASTE LIKE CATFISH. It tastes like some tasteless mushy super cheap foreign import they fry up to pass off as catfish. Catfish has a firmer texture then the fish I had. Catfish also has a pronounced flavor. This fish was mushy, held a lot of water and had no flavor. The seasoning gave the crust flavor. But the actual fish TASTED NOTHING LIKE CATFISH. I feel ripped off. In my opinion this was an $7 to $8 dollar meal masquerading as a $14 dollar meal because of fish fraud.

The food was fine but our meal took forever because each person's food was delivered one person at a time, and so slowly that #1 was finished before #2 arrived. There were four of us. It was excruciating. We finally asked about our last person and realized the order hadn't been put in, and when it was brought out it was missing a side. I don't know what was off, but it was not a good experience. The vibe wasn't bad, and the food was great. I think on a better night it could be a great place to go.

Huey's is famous for their homemade ranch and it has never failed me. This location has live music from time to time. And love the decor is Memphis themed!

Great Food, Wonderful Service -- Just Turn the Music Down!…read more I found Docks Off 5th on Yelp while looking for a restaurant near Beale Street to meet a colleague I hadn't seen in quite some time. We were excited to catch up over dinner, and overall, Docks turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant sits near the beginning of Beale Street, making it a convenient stop before exploring Memphis' famous blues and nightlife. Parking, however, can be challenging. Street parking is limited, and with portions of Beale closed to traffic, expect to park a block or two away and walk. Walking into Docks feels a bit like entering a speakeasy. It is DARK! Coming in from the Memphis sunshine, give your eyes a minute to adjust. We were seated in a comfortable rounded banquette, which was perfect for catching up. Our server, Lazzaro, was fantastic -- patient, attentive, helpful and genuinely lovely throughout our dinner. He offered great recommendations and was one of the highlights of our experience. We started with cocktails, and my Sidecar was delicious. At Lazzaro's recommendation, we shared the calamari. It arrived fresh and piping hot with a sweet-and-spicy chili drizzle and remoulade for dipping. An excellent start! For my entrée, I ordered the blackened catfish with mashed potatoes and broccoli. This was probably my biggest disappointment with the food. I wouldn't describe the catfish as blackened. It seemed more like a cornmeal-crusted preparation without the seasoning and char I associate with blackening. Lazzaro kindly brought me some remoulade to accompany it. My dining companion ordered the salmon and loved it. We also shared the roasted Brussels sprouts, which were fantastic. Of course, we saved room for dessert! We split a trio featuring key lime, chocolate and red velvet. All three were delicious and made for a fun ending to the meal. My biggest criticism was the music volume. At one point, it was turned up so loudly that we couldn't comfortably hear each other speak, despite only a few tables being occupied. I asked Lazzaro if it could be lowered, and he graciously took care of it -- several times. The dark, sexy, speakeasy atmosphere works. Nightclub-level music during dinner does not, especially when guests are there to enjoy a meal and conversation. Overall, the positives outweighed the misses. Great service, good cocktails, several standout dishes and a convenient location near Beale Street. And Lazzaro deserves special recognition for taking such good care of us. If you're getting ready for a night of blues, cocktails and bar hopping on Beale Street, Docks Off 5th is a great place to fill up with a good dinner before heading out. Life is too short not to eat well, sleep well and travel well. Get out there and find your next good meal!

Did not know this til after being seated and ordered food. Upon arrival for reservation was not told this to me or warned of this. Not to mention they have your phone number for reservation so call and alert the customer of this. I asked for a manger, not one showed to address the issue meanwhile the workers are walking around hot and my waitress seemed stressed or agitated as she sweating. Once one table left they pointed a fan towards our direction which was some better but if I would have known before hand I could have changed my mind and canceled this reservation all together.
