    Jr's Fish And Chicken - Trash it went 25 bucks wasted

    Horrible service! Do not trust advertised prices as you may be overcharged without explanation…read more I ordered the 10pc leg/thigh /5 catfish family meal for $24.99. Was told $27.30 total ; will be ready in 25 mins. Drove up; order repeated but not price. Gave credit card. Was charged an extra $1.22. Instead they charged $25.99 plus tax. I disputed the charge. Jr said "it's the new machine don't worry about it". I told him to refund the difference. Sr said he can't change the register so he will give the refund. I said fine. In a grumpy voice, Sr said " you got the food- give me the food and you get a full refund." I said ok since $1.22 is not the refund due. I happily gave him the crispy bread crust so- called catfish. Did not look like catfish. I gave him the tasty fries and salty scalped bird pieces. So thankful that Sr wanted this aluminum tray back. I give up on this place. No more chances.

    For the price the taste should be great..This was one of favorite spots to eat when I first moved…read moreto the Memphis area in 2018..The food was always good..I moved out the area so I hadn't been there in awhile..Stopped in today because I was in the area..I don't no what has happened the inside looks great a whole lot better than back then..I spent about 25 bucks on a salad an spaghetti didn't mine the cost because I knew the food was worth it..Bu to my surprise it was horrible..Salad super dry lettuce was old chicken was over cooked no season..A the spaghetti was the worse noodles were very tough not enough sauce..it just tasted like hard noodles a tomato sauce..

    This place is just wonderful. We came at the height of the day around 11:30 and 15th in line! Time…read morepassed and we were finally seated after maybe a good hour and some change. Marissa our server was nice and offered suggestions which I loved because we, a party of four wanted to try everything. The vibe was very nice. It was busy but not chaotic. The washroom is very nice and spacious and good mirror ladies, wink, wink. The food was amazing. The flavors, the presentation and the taste was 10 out of 10. We had favorites and of course but overall a good brunch spot and low key worth the hour plus wait. The staff was pleasant and smiled walking by and someone came with tab on wait time for food and the price point is excellent. This place has screened in patio seating, main dining area and a bar and still seemed comfortable and cozy. This place is definitely worth the hype!

    This place is always busy and the waitlist doesn't seem to have helped. Arrived early and was told…read morethat our table wasn't ready and that there's 6 ppl ahead. We did see that there's plenty of tables available and figured it might be due to understaff. Overall service was very slow. From being seated to taking orders and food being served. Unfortunately my egg Benedict came with the eggs being soft boiled rather than runny. Other than that, it's decent compared to the other outlet.

    My client took us here and he didn't really say what type of food they served, but it ended up…read morebeing pretty good. 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.

    I went two separate times and had two different experinces. One experience with an invited group…read moreand second experince was togo order. With the invited experience the food was hot and fresh because we are featured guest. However, even with food togo there is a reasonable hottness that stays with fresh cooked food. I ordered a Cobb salad with fried chicken and a burger with wedge fries at a lil after 5:00p and text to pick up was 5:21p. I was there to pick up at 5:28p. I walked in and stood in the entrance, near make shift board hostess stand, not sure but to my left was a hostess counting money, a guy at a kiosk eating with an apron on and the busy bartender. The hostess saw me, smiled and finished talking with guy at kiosk, they talk briefly until he sees me then walks over. I grab the order and feel no warmth. I figure the buger on top of salad maybe but nope, sure enough I get home and it's old and the fried chicken on the cobb salad is frozen. It was dried out and reheated. The amount of blue cheese was insane the lettuce was not fresh. The cheese on the burger was two different colors, the toppings looked old as well. $45 for a salad and burger, trying to support our local spots and the inconsistency is appalling. The burger was so good and fresh at the invited event only for me to remember it, and want to go back months later. The I pay my hard earned money, use my expensive gas to drive from East Memphis to Downtown and get a frozen breaded chicken patty on a salad and an old burger. If my feelings ain't deeply hurt because why are you not cooking real chicken breast?

I've passed by 7 Mares for years, riveted by the sweet murals with sharks, mermaids, and Mexican dishes painted in the windows, and yet paralyzed by thoughts of a massive language barrier, or a filthy establishment, or something darker - with fear driving my fantasies inevitably to a cartel-style execution awaiting me inside. But I've also imagined it to be the next great Mexican restaurant in town, which I'm on a continual quest to find. I finally got the nerve to go in today, and I was worried for all the wrong reasons. Make no mistake, this IS a dicey part of town. There is a lot of, uh, colorful foot traffic. (El 7 Mares shares its building with a small corner store.) But 7 Mares is an oasis from the outside. No record scratched when I walked in. It was cheerful (with plenty of Halloween decorations adding spirit) and clean enough upon a cursory inspection. I was greeted warmly in fluent English. Even the TV was airing a program in English. (Red flag?) There were several (diverse!) tables of customers in the small front room, with a few people at the tin-roofed bar. I was very relieved to have my assumptions proved wrong. Sadly, the disappointing part of my experience was the food. I have to say that I didn't find the next great Memphis Mexican food today. I went with a safe, standard choice for me: enchiladas suizas with a side of guacamole. Chicken was the only option for these enchiladas. 7 Mares provides free chips and salsa. The salsa was average at best, and the guacamole I ordered was subpar. The salsa reminded me of Los Picosos - not bad, but not my type. I can't verbalize the flavor, but I think it's a combination of sweet and tangy. And quite mild. The guacamole was really creamy, as if it had been mixed with sour cream. Again, edible, just "unnatural" and not very good. I haven't had the processed grocery store guacamole in many years, but this didn't seem too far from what I remember of that stuff. As far as the enchiladas, they were not a good example in my experience. The menu mentioned a tomatillo sauce (that's what defines the dish, right?), but I swear there was nothing but cheese on these. And a ton of it at that. The chicken was good - tender and well seasoned with peppers cooked in. But these weren't the enchiladas suizas I've grown to love. I'll keep going to Playitas when I'm craving those. I may end up giving 7 Mares another try, but there are a ton of proven restaurants in the vicinity - Macon and Summer to the southeast - that already have my loyalty. Things would have to improve dramatically for me to come back a third time.
