Memphis Best Soul Food always has a wonderful array of soul food dishes cooked. I went in to just…read moresnap pictures but I ended up ordering a bacon and egg sandwich. There lunch menu has an excellent assortment of meats and vegetables. I saw fried chicken, chopped pork, turkey wing meat, neck ones, smothered pork chops, hamhocks, and candied yams, rice, snap beans, black eyed peas, butter beans, and they still had a portion of the breakfast menu up. The dinner plates start at $15.00. They also sell sodas, chips, candy and other convenience store fare. The owner is a Q. And he's super friendly. By 9 am you can eat both breakfast AND lunch. It's all cooked by then. I've eaten their lunch before and it was wonderful. You can get hooked. It's just that good.

The service was timely and smooth. The vibe was ok it felt like we were opening the place so no music or background noise but TV were on. They have a beautiful facility with a upstairs private section in all white. The downstairs is all black. There is a setup of beverage of twa, lemonade and water that is automatic at $2.50 called VIP. I ordered pork chops with 2 sides, spaghetti, northern beans and cornbread for 19.99. The portion size was good. The spaghetti was sweet. Beans were salty but good. But the star of the dish was just that, the star! Them pork chops were perfect. Pot roast was good and turkey necks were huge! Overall a great spot for good food. Most dishes were $17-19 with 2 sides, overall meal $24! Not bad at all and closed in parking lot.

We first started out with the fried green tomatoes which were so good! I had the turkey and dressing, yams, and turnip green. All delicious and yummy. My daughter got the fried catfish, cabbage, and pickled green tomatoes. I'm not the biggest catfish person, but theirs is really good! Seasoned great. Even though we had so much food, we shared a peach cobbler which we both enjoyed. Staff was very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be returning again.

First of all, I am completely obsessed with their turkey and dressing. I dream about it. It's the perfect blend of everything and it feels like Thanksgiving every day!!! Add the gravy, ask for extra on the TD - yes I know the shortcut for the meal! I also get extra cranberry sauce on the side. Then there's the baked chicken, fall-off-the-bone tender, perfectly seasoned, and honestly, just as good as Aunt Bay Bay used to make (don't tell her I said that). The mac and cheese is creamy, cheesy, golden on top, the kind that is made with the béchamel! It instantly takes you back to family dinners. And it's not just the food that keeps me coming back. It's the consistency. Every single time I've been, the food is hot, delicious, and exactly what I hoped for. The staff is friendly and warm--you feel like you're at home the moment you walk in. There's this beautiful energy there. By the way, Stax music artists and Dr. King used to go to the private room there. It's historic! This place is a Memphis treasure. A national treasure, honestly. The kind of spot you bring visitors to when you want to show them what real hospitality tastes like. If you've never been to The Four Way, stop what you're doing and GO. Get the turkey and dressing. Thank me later.

I had the baked turkey wing, cabbage and sweet potatoes. The turkey was well seasoned and the meat was very tender. The cabbage was cooked a little too much for me but it was still good and the sweet potatoes were perfect. They cook to order so the food was piping hot when it was served. Something new for me is the way they serve their cornbread... THEY'RE PANCAKES! What a novel idea :~) Everything was great. If you're looking for some good soul food, go check out Ellen's at her new location on S. Bellevue Boulevard!

This place came highly recommended. We went to check it out on a Sunday and the expectations were…read morepretty high. You place your order first and then you find a seat if one is available to dine in. Dining is limited and the establishment consist of local black artwork covering the walls there is an upstairs area, but that seating is also limited. The owner was very proud of his establishment and gave us the history of how they came about and who cooks what in the restaurant. The service was great the food unfortunately did not match. I'm all for supporting black owned businesses, but I have to give honest feedback. Starting with the sides, the spaghetti, the cabbage, and the greens all had excessive amounts of sugar in them, which was such a turn off, everything taste the same it was so sweet it created a film in my mouth of sugar. The sweet tea lemonade mix was again full of sugar. You couldn't taste the lemonade or the tea. It was just sweetness. I do understand certain people like their food like this. I however, am not one of those individuals. The turkey ribs, a.k.a. clavicle bone taste like smoked bologna and the A1 barbecue sauce did not enhance the flavor whatsoever I nor my mother could finish our food the cornbread taste like mush everything overpowered everything there was no distinct taste of broccoli or cheese just mushy wet undercooked cornbread that again was sweet. The only star of the show for this experience was the fried fish. It was cooked to perfection seasoned well surprisingly without sugar. We could not finish our food after a couple of bites so we took it to go and handed it to a homeless person on the way home. I love the concept of this establishment. I love how they incorporate other black businesses and I can tell he is proud of his work. I would love to support in other ways, just not through the food unfortunately, I will not be returning but I pray this establishment continues to improve, evolve, and thrive, it's a million herbs and spices to utilize, sugar doesn't have to be one of them and for $70 bucks I do expect to enjoy the food to some extent.

Memphis is a slight detour on our way back to Texas, but there was no way we were settling for fast food along the highway. We wanted good seafood--fresh, satisfying, and worth the stop. So glad we chose this spot. From the outside, it's simple and unassuming. Inside, it feels like a slightly bougie fish cafe--clean, cozy, and well-kept, with subtle holiday decor and that warm Southern hospitality greeting you at the door. Our server, Denise, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The one-page menu keeps it simple, and she walked us through it along with the daily special. We ordered the gumbo, salmon burger, and a grilled salmon plate--everything tasted fresh and cooked to order. A perfect seafood meal in Tennessee. We left full, happy, and already planning what to try next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Crawfish (less salt, garlic butter, 3lb is my routine, 5lb if I'm not on diet) During crawfish season, I could honestly eat here every week and never get tired of it. Tip for serious crawfish lovers: I've heard my friend said Thursdays may be the time they restock crawfish.

Also, instead of getting an itemized receipt, you get a receipt with the total which added up to $13.48. it appears they added a TIP and tax automatically (I never authorized a tip 4 a counter pick up order.)
