Gracie's Kitchen is one of my go-to spots for comfort food. I always order the fried chicken plate, usually with cabbage, mac & cheese, or yams, and it never disappoints. The fried chicken is crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right every time. Their sweet tea is so good--definitely a must-have with your meal. My only critiques would be that I wish the yams had a deeper glaze and the mac & cheese was a bit more thoroughly baked, but the flavors are still solid overall. I always get my food to go, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are satisfying. If you're ordering a fried entrée, make sure to order ahead and allow about 15 minutes for them to finish frying--it's worth the wait. read more

Good southern soul food! Just wish they were open later for dinner, so go at lunch and enjoy.

This is an amazing place food and services are always great very busy but it's worth it

This is the worst business ever. I've attempted to order food here. Either she hasn't started cooking the food ( even though she is open on door dash) or the menu isn't accurate for what she is serving that day. Don't waste your time with this business. Will only make your hangry . read more

Ordered through Door Dash & added an additional side of candied yams. I received candied yams as the 2nd side and no Mac and cheese for which I was charged an additional $3. read more

Not bad but not great. Chicken was ok. Pork chop was a bit tough. Greens were good.

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! read more

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. read more

Gracie's Kitchen - a meal in a styrofoam container - Southern Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

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. read more

Gracie's Kitchen - Chops smothered in gravy - Southern Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I visited Gracie's Kitchen today for the chicken and dressing. Normally I don't have any problems with my order but today I received a plate that look like an kids order. The first young lady gave me the smallest chicken thigh/ leg. The second lady gave me a half of spoon of dressing, cabbage and small pieces of the yams I don't mind paying the high prices on the food but at least give me a adult dinner plate. I'm done with Gracie's don't have to go back!! read more

Pretty good soul food, some food portions such as the baked chicken are on the small side, prices are a little high but not unreasonable, still food is very good, one of only a handful of places in the area where you can get soul food. More of a to go restaurant than a dine in restaurant as the dining area could use some remodeling, overall good food and decent but lacking dining area, 3.5 read more

Soul food spot in the Bartlett/Cordova area. I made it there around 4:30pm and most sides they were out of as well as peach cobbler. As for the meats, I only saw smothered pork chops and baked chicken. I ordered smothered pork chops, green beans, and squash with a dinner roll. The pork chops were very tender and not too salty. Side were ok, not my favorite on the taste side of things. As a restaurant, that serves daily items I think those items should be made available throughout the day. The inside is small, one patron did not have on a mask, but those working did. So mask requirement...not sure about. They have cakes available in the fridge when you walk in. The food looked as tho it had been sitting out for the most part and once they are out of something then...oh well. Service was quick enough, but it should have been since they were out of many items that were on the daily menu. They are closed on Saturday FYI. read more

My son recommended Gracie's. My friend picked up dinner and got me the smothered pork chops. They were dry and salty ( and I love salt). Seems like they were reheated from the day before. Cabbage was brown in color, yams were ok and the roll seemed very commercial. I would rather tell the owner, but no one would answer the phone. The food made me very sick. It took two and a half days for me to have an appetite to eat again. Pork chop or cabbage?!? Something made me very sick. I hope everyone knows food safety standards at this restaurant. Nice business. read more

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. read more

HERE ARE THE PROS: The food at Gracie's Kitchen is AWESOME! It is seasoned and cooked like "at home" cooked food!! They always have a selection of meats to choose from, including baked and fried chicken, pork chops cooked several ways: in gravy, fried with a coated batter, and grilled, as well as grilled (sautéed) chicken wings, which are my favorite!! You can also select from another one or two meat(s) which change daily. Everything is served in styrofoam sectioned containers where you go through the line and choose your meat. The vegetables change quite often, ranging from HOMEMADE candied yams, FRESH PICKED greens, mash potatoes (gravy), whole kernel and/or cream style corn, green beans (excellent!!), spaghetti, and HOMEMADE macaroni and cheese, which I've never eaten in life, but others I've picked up "plates" for, say their Mac-n-cheese is excellent!! After choosing your meat, you move along and choose (2) vegetables and your choice of their cornbread or my favorite, the soft dinner rolls. The line is not long, it moves fast, I recommend you stand back and get an idea what you're going to order prior to entering the "4 minute line"! Yes, it moves that fast, as it's worked by 2 to 3 servers and one does your meat, one is going to do your vegetables, and if there's a third worker, they'll put a "liner" over your meal, bag it up and put your plastic ware inside it. If 2 workers only, the second worker takes over all final packaging duties. The cashier rings you up, and you're out the door! If a drink is desired, they are self-served where once paid for, you'll receive your cup and head towards the back of the restaurant to get it yourself. They do have approximately 6 "small tables", known as 4-tops (seats 4 people) but these truly seat only 2 people comfortably!! NOW!! THE CONS: These reasons are why 4 stars were given, and not 5 stars: They can't seem to establish a "regular set of hours of operation" for their business!! THIS GETS FRUSTRATING and DETERS MY VISITING THERE, WHICH I REALLY DO MISS!! You plan on going there the next day, only to arrive and find out they're CLOSED!! Telephoning in advance does not "always help" as sometimes it'll roll over to voicemail, OR the voicemail is full!! Yet you arrive (just in case), and they're open! Also, they're "CONSTANTLY HIRING", so I'm led to believe it's in the management department that needs revising. Come on DO NOT let this restaurant go down! Your restaurant is to darn good!! SHAPE UP... This is just "my personal opinion" only... read more

After passing by and thinking I wanted to try it many times, I finally stopped in for lunch. I had Salisbury steak, Lima beans and candied yams all of which were excellent. This was the best meat and two I've had. Looking forward to my next visit read more

They are sooooo good ! I hit them upalmost every Sunday ! Highly recommend the chicken and dressing & the lasagna ! All the sides are good also they get you in and out in a timely manner! Great place ‼ read more

Got the lasagna, mac n cheese, and yams. I also got the "peach cobbler" for dessert. Coworkers talked up this place but I wasn't impressed. Servings are a good size, but ...The Crock Pot & 99ent Soul Food Express has better food in my opinion. I took my food togo so I can't comment much on the service....the little interaction I had with them was good though. read more

Great food and service. Always friendly and generous with the servings. I love this place.

This place has exceptional food cooked like your mom cooked for a Sunday meal. I ordered the meatloaf, collard greens and dressing. I first thought the price was a little too expensive; however I saw my meal when I arrived home I quickly changed my mind. There was so much food on my plate that I had enough food for another meal on Monday. The entire meal was fresh, seasoned and delicious . My friend ordered chicken and dressing with candied yams and he ate the entire meal in one sitting . He stated he will be coming back to Gracies Kitchen every chance he get. He thanked me for bringing him to a true soul food restaurant. The customer service provided by the servers and cashier is always helpful and extremely friendly.Gracies is the type of restaurant you can go to and never be disappointed because after all how can mom disappoint you . Every time I eat at this awesome restaurant I think about my mom cooking who sadly is no longer living...All I can say is Thank you for such awesome and exceptional food... read more

Wow, just wow. I just enjoyed one of the juiciest, fork tender smothered pork chops that I've ever had. Plus their cornbread is fabulously heavy, moist and sweet. The restaurant itself is a little hole in the wall, but the flavors coming from Gracie's are anything but small. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great food and combinations...everything fried cooked fresh to order. Make sure to save a little room for dessert.

This is a great restaurant. The best chicken and dressing. I wish I could fix chicken this way. It is so juicy and baked and I do not know how they fix it. I would love to get the recipe. 5 stars all the way never had anything we did not enjoy.. Wish they would have more vegetable choices. read more

I work at the salon in the same shopping center and wanted to give them a try. I've heard nothing but great things. It was the best food! I got the smothered pork chops, Lima beans, green beans, and a roll. Every single thing was so delicious. I will be back! I'm so glad for the convenience and the yummy food! The staff was extremely polite and the service was very quick! read more

I have been here about 5 times. The food is pretty good. They need to perfect the peach cobbler, but everything else is good. The have already fixed the cornbread, it is much better. However, I did not have high expectations for the black eyed peas I got last week. THEY WERE BOMB. So, try those if you go. Hopefully the recipes are consistent. Oh yeah...the lasagna was gooood. lots of meat read more
