    Baked chicken
    Camille F.

    I really wanted spaghetti but I heard you have to come earlier! Everything was great but my mac & cheese didn't do it for me this time. It was still good though! It looks just like the previous time I got it but it tasted more "out of the box" to me. Service was great and staff was nice and quick per usual!

    a meal in a styrofoam container

    This was my first visit to the restaurant. I questioned the location, but I decided to enter and place an order to go because there were multiple people waiting in line. The restaurant was clean, and I didn't have to wait an unreasonable amount of time for my food. The cashier was friendly, and explained the business to me. My food was not hot, but it hit the spot. The yams were not sweet, the pork chops were salty and dry, the lima beans were over cooked, and my dinner roll was hard. I will return again to try something different from the menu, especially the Soul Food Sunday Menu.

    We chose this restaurant on a Sunday for it was one of the closest soul food spot in the area. The restaurant was nice and clean and offers a quick to go line & also a small sit in dining area. We selected the baked chicken, dressing, candied yams, spaghetti, macaroni, black eyed peas & fried chicken.. The fried chicken was cooked fresh to order but you have to request it. For the other items in our meal , the baked chicken & spaghetti were both lukewarm. We did arrive close to closing, which was the reason given for the cold food. Although we got there late in the evening, with chicken it needs to be hot at all times. Gracie's definitely deserves a second chance & look forward to going back around lunch time.

    Chops smothered in gravy

    Pork chops in gravy were great. Had cabbage and green beans . Definitely found my go to lunch place.

    Smothered pork chop, greens, and squash. Pretty good. I hate styrofoam. Could be hotter too.

    The food I had was pretty good, although I thought it was a bit high. A meat plus two with tea set me back $12. Another $4 for banana pudding. I hate eating with plastic out of styrofoam and I think I deserve a plate for these prices. Other places do it. The $12 meal did not fill me up and I should be able to get a meat plus three for $12 and leave stuffed and leave a $3 tip. I left Gracie's with $18 less in my wallet for lunch. It's cafeteria style so you can see the food you'll be eating. It's also really fast if you're in a pinch for time, because all they have to do is plate it for you. The smothered pork chops were great. Probably the thing that impressed me the most was the brown gravy. It was obvious that it was homemade with beef fat. The turnip greens were undoubtedly from fresh leaves and they had lots of flavor. I wish they would put turnips in their greens. The squash was good, but nothing special at all. Just sliced and boiled. I hate cornbread muffins. You have to cook cornbread in a skillet to get a moist center. Muffin pans are for breakfast and cupcakes. The banana pudding kind of sucked and especially for $4. It was all crumbled up together as if the whole thing had been put in a blender.

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!!

    I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

    If there's one place that I can count on to be consistent when I go back home to visit family, it's…read morethis restaurant. My fish is always fresh and crispy. I'm a creature of habit so I get the same thing with fried okra. The service is always attentive and giving. The staff is usually willing to give whatever sauces & condiments that are needed to enjoy the meal. Depending on the day you go in, you may have a wait, or you may be able to get right in and have a seat. I recommend going during the lunch hour or during the week for dinner because on a weekend or Sunday afternoon, you're gonna have a wait.

The vibe felt like a speakeasy turned restaurant. While larger than a traditional speakeasy, it still managed to feel cozy, intimate and inviting. Shortly after we were seated, the restaurant manager stopped by our table. My sister asked for cocktail recommendations... if you're a cocktail fan, you're in for a treat. Their signature cocktails were thoughtfully crafted and exceptionally well-balanced. We went with their spicy margaritas. As for the food, I could have easily ordered a second helping of the Cajun Abita shrimp appetizer and called it dinner. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned, and the sauce was outstanding. The accompanying beer bread was equally delicious...slightly reminiscent of cornbread but with its own unique flavor. My sister and I weren't huge fans of the She Crab Soup. It was simply too rich and creamy for our tastes. One bite was enough for us although my dad seemed to enjoy it. The Blue Window Wedge Salad is their take on a classic wedge which was spectacular. It will be hard to find another wedge salad that measures up. The sweet potato pecan casserole was good but it felt like it was missing something that we couldn't quite put our finger on what. The maple bacon Brussels sprouts were a table favorite...perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. My dad and sister both enjoyed the braised beef, which was served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. To finish, we shared the white chocolate bread pudding and it was absolutely delicious. In fact, the table next to us seemed to enjoy theirs just as much. Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience with great service, a memorable atmosphere, excellent cocktails and standout dishes. I'd happily return the next time I'm headed downtown.
