    Thick sliced corned beef
    Quinton F.

    Huey's Downtown was our second choice this evening, so I'll admit I started out a little disappointed. Still, we settled in for some familiar comfort food. The wife said her cheeseburger was "standard"--nothing special, but at least the patty was cooked right. My Reuben, on the other hand, was a letdown. The bread was crushed flat, the sauerkraut was missing in action, and the corned beef came in thick slabs instead of thin slices. The 1000 Island dressing was straight out of a bottle and served on the side. The house-made chips were perfectly crisp but way over-seasoned, and I'm fairly sure the salsa came straight from a Tostitos jar. Let's just say you'll need to enjoy plenty of Huey's beer to make the food feel like more than just edible. That said, the waitress was the star of this meal. She was perfectly attentive and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our visit--even offering to take the Reuben back and bring me something else (but I rarely, if ever, send food back). Thank you, Astrid, for being the redeeming feature of this restaurant!

    Fun decor with a lot of different art and decorative items all over the place. Staff was very friendly and very helpful Ordered fried mushrooms, Famous hurt burger with tater tots. Mushrooms were well fried well. Burger with Cheddar was cooked as expected and as ordered. (Med/Well) Tater tots toasted and went well with burger Overall, a nice place to get a burger and drink. From the time I sat down, ordered and received my food it didn't take more than 10 mins. This place is 100% worth stopping in for some American classic food

    Food was mid. Staff was decent. Came with a larger crowd, some staff appeared annoyed. Water had chunks of some food in it.. overall would not revisit. Downtown Memphis needs easy and good food options for a post game crowd.

    A local favorite for sure! This is a funky place with a fun history built by years of passion. The prices here are super reasonable which I appreciated, especially in today's day it's hard to find that. The service was great. Everyone was super friendly and happy to help. The food was great. My favorite thing is that any burger you get can be swapped for a turkey burger or black bean burger. Love the alternatives!

    Sorry up front I usually take pictures and forgot. Overall the atmosphere was fun and exciting. It's a nice place. Our bartender was responsive with good service. My drink was functional, small but good tasting margarita. The food was good. Overall this place was not really remarkable it was all just functional food.

    Place is in the middle of downtown. Seated fast. Server is friendly. Ordered the Huey Burger with everything on. Typical burger. Also ordered the sweet potato fries.

    We had a great meal here. The burgers and chilli hit the spot. A special thanks to the Manager working Sunday evening after the Liberty Bowl. She is a kind person and represents Hueys well. So does the Gentleman that brings food out from the kitchen. Good energy from both of those folks. Stay at the Peabody and walk next door for a Memphis experience.

    Spinach SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP
    Alyssa W.

    In town for the day and was on my way to another place. But I saw this on my way and decided to pull up the menu. So although I was initially wanting bbq ... something about seeing "world famous" in the marketing makes me wanna try lol. First I wanna say the 4 stars comes mainly from the service. Everyone was nice and my server was patient with me as I decided what I wanted. I can't remember his name. But he was great. I ordered the spinach dip and it was good but not great. Definitely cheesy... and piping hot. But average. I did like the accompaniment of the salsa and sour cream. It's kind of like having chips and salsa and chips and spinach dip. I ate it all!! I ordered the "world famous" burger. Here are the positives: the patty was actually seasoned and seasoned well. My order came out correctly. Negatives: menu says standard temp was medium. And it definitely came out well done. My server offered to have it re-made. But there was no need in wasting the food. It was still juicy. I added tater tots and they werent hot. Just lukewarm. Although the food was good. It wasn't mind blowing. And with world famous being in the marketing and promotion I expected something special. They have a great variety on their menu and happy hour specials as well. Very chill environment and pricing was more than affordable Again I want to stress that the service is great! I'd definitely be back

    Great late night bite! The chicken tenders were delicious with the best honey mustard.

    This was my first visit to Memphis and while looking for an eatery we decided on this place initially based on the decor. This place definitely has character. It wasn't busy with moderate noise on Friday afternoon. Tim was our waiter and he made sure we were taken care of. The Smash Burger was super filling and tasty. The fries seemed like they were prepared from frozen. The spinach and artichoke dip looked underwhelming but was pretty good! Don't forget to leave your mark by signing the wall before you leave!

    We walked over here from the mimosa festival to have some lunch. We were seated immediately and our waiter greeted us as soon as we sat down, asking for our drink orders. He was very polite and good his job. We each had a small entrée finished quickly, and the check was brought immediately upon request. It's a dive bar and a little loud, so be prepared to have to raise your voice a bit to be heard but overall it's a really fun place to eat!

    Irish Irish Irish (Fancy Restaurant)…read more This was the first experience making reservations for an Irish pub, but it was way more than a pub. Think date night. The food was a delight! Recommend the pimento cheese bread sticks for appetizer or any other time. Also, this was the first time I've had a Kilkenny draft which was another highlight. I see now it's rare to find. Smooth and creamy. If I lived nearby, I would be here more often. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth the price and experience.

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.

    One of the Worst Customer Service Experiences I've Had After…read moreattending a Pride event and visiting from out of town, my friend and I stopped by Bar Dogs late at night/early in the morning on June 7th, hoping to grab some food before heading back to our hotel. Unfortunately, we were met with one of the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender--a Caucasian woman with a short haircut whose name I unfortunately didn't get--greeted us with an attitude that immediately made us feel unwelcome. Instead of providing friendly service, she was dismissive, impatient, and rushed us through placing our to-go order. She informed us that we could not eat at the bar, which was completely fine. We agreed without any issue and ordered our food to go. However, when my food arrived, I simply opened the container to make sure my order was correct before leaving. She immediately rushed back over and aggressively said, "Didn't I tell you that you could not eat at the bar?" I hadn't taken a single bite--I was only checking my order. Rather than politely clarifying the policy, she continued to scold us and make us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. We still hadn't even received my friend's food, yet she seemed more interested in lecturing us than providing basic customer service. Once my friend's food finally arrived, we left as quickly as possible. As visitors in town celebrating Pride, we expected a welcoming atmosphere and basic courtesy. Instead, we experienced hostility, impatience, and a complete lack of professionalism. There's a huge difference between enforcing a policy and treating customers with disrespect, and this bartender clearly doesn't understand that distinction. The food may have been fine, but the service was so unpleasant that I would never return or recommend Bar Dogs to anyone looking for a friendly place to eat or have a drink. Customer service training is desperately needed.

    I LOVE breweries so visiting this place on Beale was a no brainer…read more Like most breweries, they have a selection to choose from. The options are displayed on a large screen above the bar. I believe the place was empty when we took a seat at the bar but another party of 2 followed shortly behind and sat a little bit further down the bar. I tried something that sounded better than it tasted but ultimately this is a matter of personal preference and I have a high maintenance palate. The people next to us got wings, which looked good until they were dangerously close to a leak that had sprung from one of the exposed pipes above. They had to move to a table behind us and then some of the staff got a bucket to place on the bar to catch the dripping water but that made a very loud noise so then they put a towel inside of the bucket. I will admit that I have never experienced such a thing before. It looked like the pipe that was dripping had tape wrapped over that area so they had tried a "bandaid" fix in the past but it didn't work. Obviously, this does negatively impact the "ambiance" portion of the overall experience and getting the impression that this is an issue that could have been fully addressed previously but the decision was made not to. It wouldn't stop me from going back but it certainly isn't ideal.

There was music playing the whole time but not loud at all - loud enough you could hear it but it didn't impede upon your conversations in the slightest. And by the way the music they had playing last night (Tuesday Feb 10 2026) was EXCELLENT!! I felt like I was at a bar from my youth with that soundtrack. We started with 2 appetizers, pub pretzels and the Celtic queso dip. The pretzels came with honey mustard and some of the queso. The Celtic queso has tortillas and what appeared to be house made potato chips. Both were very good! The 2 adults had some beer on tap. A Yeungling and a 201 Hoplar. Kid (well he is 21 but doesn't drink) had a coke. Entrees were a smash burger with fries, a Buffalo chicken sliders with onion rings, and a shepherds pie with mashed potatoes and gravy and okra. Everything was very good! Often fried things are either over or under done and come out not great however whoever was working the fryer was on it because the onion didn't pull out of the rings when you bit it and the okra was still nice inside the breading. Excellent waitress who kept checking on us and nice environment. What's not to like!! Definitely will return.

But I was super impressed with the quality of the food! I expected a dive. And it is. But the food was fabulous!! Also, our waitress was excellent. Kudos to her. The inside is fun. Definite dive bar energy. We went all in. Appetizers, drinks, entrees. I regret nothing. We started with the queso appetizer and the pub pretzels. Both were very tasty. My one and only critique is that I wished the queso appetizer included some veggies like celery or carrots or something other than just chips. My son ordered the smash burger. Husband got the shepherds pie. I got the buffalo sliders. I like my buffalo chicken to be saucy. So I requested extra sauce. The kitchen seemed to misunderstand and instead of extra saucy, they put my sauce on the side and none on the chicken. Our waitress offered to send it back. That was not necessary. So she brought me lots of extra sauce. Incredible. The sauce was excellent. The chicken was excellent!!! Superb quality. Honestly, quite possibly the highest quality piece of chicken I've had on a chicken sandwich. Tender, moist, flavorful, and a large piece of meat. Very very impressed. I got the onion rings, at the suggestion of our waitress. They were fantastic. Washed it all down with a Yuengling. Truly, I can't say enough about this place. I was highly impressed. Most of the other customers appeared to be regulars who were seated at the bar. There were only a few groups seated at traditional tables. It was a Tuesday evening so I'm sure it's much busier on a Friday or Saturday. Oh - and just as we were leaving, they were setting up for karaoke. Apparently Tuesdays are karaoke night. Oh! And! The check was $77. That's with three beers, a Coke, two appetizers, three entrees! Not bad. Not bad at all!!

I am not sure if that's normal or something they are still fixing, but my understanding was they were only doing construction on the main dining area. IDK but I will definitely not sit out there again as I didn't even really get to talk to my friend. I liked the nachos I got but the okra was just ok. Could've used some seasoning. The Tiger Bleu Chips my friend ordered were a cool idea. I don't like buffalo sauce nor bleu cheese so I tried some chips and liked them but not the sauces. I loved the chicken on it though. I am not sure if it's the same chicken as the nachos but it didn't taste like it was. Honestly, it would be cool if they had options for the chips like maybe other sauces. Unfortunately, they messed up my husbands burger twice, which is not great. But the burger itself just tasted like nothing, which was worse. Hubby's tater tots were too salty. NGL, everything was just a little off and I think this place just isn't for me.
