Time for an update! Sucks to write this one, but it's where I stand on this joint!…read more Since my last review, the owner died, the place caught fire and closed under the new owner, was then bought by another restaurateur couple and a their partner. They remodeled it, filled the kitchen with new equipment and food, slapped some paint on the walls, then let er rip! The operators here also own and operate Bain's BBQ just down the road. I've been here three times now since it reopened. It would be more, but here we go... They have daily lunch meat and threes that rotate by day of the week. I always check the website to see what's being offered before I go to places like this so I can see if they have something I want. I really dig these kind of lunches, I seek them out when I want a "solo decompress, don't talk to me lunch", so I want to like this place so much. I quit going to Bain's a year or more ago because of never knowing what they are selling. The menu is never updated on the site, or even there at all now. Every time you walk in it's a surprise! I just checked again to verify, and yep, still no menu, only online order, but 60-70% of it is "out of stock". Ugh. When they do have the menu posted, it's normally wrong. This seems to be a trend between the two places now. The first time I was here I was underwhelmed. Country Fried Steak tasted funny and I had the worst cornbread I had ever had. Not even sure how it was made that terribly. I do hope they fixed it. Second visit and this time the printed menu didn't match the website, but they had the websites menu available, strange. The website showed fried chicken livers available, but the dine in menu did not. When I asked, they said they in fact did have them and it was a mistake on the dine in menu. Huh? That time I did have the chicken livers and they were pretty good, and I also one of the best rolls that I have ever had in my life! Shockingly good!! Better than my grandmothers. Please don't smite me from the grave, Gram. Both times the sides were just fair. Same thing at Bain's, so it makes sense. Today I walk in and there is one table sat in the whole place at 12:15. I got a bad feeling from the jump as I am pretty sure the food is all done and just sitting there being held on a hot well table. If it ain't busy, it just sits. This place used to be packed every single time you walked in! I sit down and the old guy with the really cool hairdo comes and gets my drink order and gives me a menu. The livers are not on the menu again... My last visit was 8 months ago, I checked my pic. I knew what I wanted because I had peeped the site and confirmed they had Fried Chicken Livers just like last time, so it's all good, right? Guess what?!?! Still not on the dine in menu so I'm like "can I get the livers", cool guys says no livers and walked away. 8 months later, it's still not corrected. I sit there for a minute, and got pissed off and then, I looked around, thought about eating old meatloaf or fried chicken, took a sip of my water, and I got up and left without ordering. My advice, (that I understand that absolutely no one gives a shit about) is this. Stop putting so much effort into your Social Media BS and get your shit together on the menu/websites of the business's you run. It's cute and all for you to eat at other Memphis BBQ joints, I like bbq too, but let's shore up your own operations before you do so. That way we can all enjoy all of our meals together and you stay in business. I used to love both of these places, but now I fear they are just going to be memories of was once a couple of my favorites. One more try.... I'll update again if it's all good then. '26 - 19

Finally got to try Barksdale's in Midtown. Pretty good set up. Very much like a diner that serves…read morebreakfast all day and they do have lunch specials. I ordered the griddle cakes with crispy bacon. The pancakes came with honey butter and syrup. Also had a pretty decent cup of coffee. My friend ordered the club sandwich with fries. The fries were nice and hot. She said it was very good. We had a fin time dining there. There are plenty tables and chairs as well as booths. The place is decorated with a variety of sports pics, articles and Christmas decor. It is a very cozy diner. There is parking in the front and back of the restaurant. Our server Christopher was awesome! He was very nice and friendly. There was a steady flow of customers which is a good sign. I will return to try some lunch specials. Good experience!

In making this sound more dramatic than it is, this is a difficult review to write because the food…read morewas excellent. We got the Yakamein NOLA Ol Sober noodles dish and the Korean hot chicken sandwich, and both were delicious. I literally felt like I was eating a roast beef po-boy in ramen form with the noodles dish, and the chicken sandwich was crisp, tasty, and well-seasoned. Everything else about our visit? Awful. The service missed the mark on numerous fronts, topped off by the overall vibe that we were inconveniencing her by being there. The music was so loud that no one could hear each other. According to the thermostat at the restaurant, the temperature was 86°, as it appeared the A/C was broken. And the drinks were just okay. I would maybe get takeout but will pass on any further visits.

This food is not for you if you don't like your food well seasoned or if you're looking for a healthy alternative. Delicious explains the food. They also let you make your orders on the app so when you pull up they'll have your food ready. You don't even have to get out of your car, they'll bring it to you. The fried catfish was my favorite.

In detail: What a nice place, good people and wonderful service, we stopped by late morning on weekday so no problem wIth parking and place wasn't packed. There was one person taking orders and making it, I think his name is Naiman(skinny guy wearing gLasses), I got tempted to try their specialty drinks but was reluctant to try anything which has flavor syrups(recently had a bad experience), so asked him about the level of sweetness, I don't like too sweet and goT to know, most of their syrups are made by them, blackberry syrup is his great grandmother's recipe and I had to try it, about the sweetness, he told it's sweet but noT as sweet as Starbucks, so that convinced me. I went with New Moon-blackberry dark mocha, my husband coffee and blueberry muffin. My husband accidentally stirred coffee with the dirty spoon and he asked for another coffee and we asked him to cHarge for it as it was absolutely our mistake but his answer for it was 'don't worry, it happens to the bEst of us' and he dint charge it, what a nice person:) Coffee was perfect, I liked my mocha, sweetness was perfect, but I dint feel blackberry flavor in it, it was like dark mocha and told him, he was happy to hear my honest opinion. Blueberry muffin was ok, it was fresh, they don't bake it. Don't miss to check out this place!

I have been here multiple times and enjoyed all the menu items I have tried. I love the chicken wings. They are fried well and seasoned to perfection. I ordered the rice bowl this time. It was good but not my fav dish. The dumplings were tasty too. Service was very good. Our waitress was nice and helpful. Decor is very unique and pleasant to admire. I will return to get those chicken wings for sure.

We finally visited Good Fortune Company after seeing them featured on The Great Food Race. We…read moreoriginally came for the Slap Noodles, but they were unfortunately not on the menu. We also really liked the decor inside the restaurant, but this time we actually dined on the patio, which made for a nice change of pace So we ordered the wings, and they absolutely delicious --we liked them so much we ordered a second round. The crawfish dumplings were also solid, but the wings were the standout of the meal. We also tried the Bake MF Margarita, which I expected to taste like tea, but it's actually a refreshing peach-flavored margarita. At about $22, it's generously sized for two people and definitely worth trying. Our server, Mason, was very nice and made great selections for us. Overall, I'm giving Good Fortune Company (4/5). The only reason it wasn't a perfect score was the missing Slap Noodles. Even so, I'd happily return and hope to try them next time. Next time im ordering Ramen!

Delicious homemade cakes and pies!…read more Food: there was a massive selection of cakes and pies. We tried the key lime pie, coconut pineapple cake and banana pecan cake. I honestly don't have a favourite because I loved them all! Ranged from $3-5 a piece from what I recall. The employees also mentioned that they won best pie for their key lime and I see why!! Perfect amount of lime and tartness with a great crust. Service: very quick as they have the cake and pies pre-packaged. Extremely friendly ladies on site that made us want to stay and chat (but they were closing at 4pm)!
