I got three meals carry out that I ordered over the phone. One hamburger with a side, one sandwich with a side and a soup and salad. All this great food was ready when I got there twenty minutes after the call. Cooked as ordered and tasted great. Great value delivered by professional employees. Thank you. I will be back. read more

This used to be my go to place for prime rib. The last two times I've had it the quality has been subpar. That's enough for me to decide not to go back. I requested medium for my steak and got medium well. Last time it was so well done I had to send it back. This time it was so grisly it was inedible and I didn't pack up the leftovers. Not worth having a second time. Their salads and croissants are still delicious. read more

TypicAl raffertys. Nothing special but definitely not awful! I looove the mushrooms and croissants and of course the pasta. read more

Today was the worst day that I have ever experience and Raffertys. Normally there is a woman that takes my orders. She knows my voice. I've been ordering for years. Today I had Everett. He was so rude. I asked for the manager and she didn't care about my concerns. This is how restaurants go out of business, make sure you check your order. I'm allergic to tomatoes. Why does that bother you but I did let him know that people have these going on and they don't need to see him being rude. He's mad. I'm not mad. I just want my food right. Please compose any concerns you have most of the businesses in Cordova are going out of business because of lack of customer service. Have a good day. read more

The food is great here but why is it always a problem with a to go order? It's either missing items or over cooked burnt food. The Staff here "working" to go orders are incompetent. I come inside and the guy "working" on the orders was not so friendly and claiming everything is in the bag. It wasn't. This is not the first time it's happened. Do something with this advice and learn to do better. read more

Favorite place to go I absolutely love the sunshine chicken salad I alway get extra scoop the fruit is alway fresh Friday are the best days to go bartenders are amazing read more

The food was great and the service provided was excellent. For a Friday evening, the crowd and ambiance was pleasant.

This was a decent spot to have dinner with my friends while I stopped in Memphis. It has a large variety and seemed to be pretty popular. You are required to wear a mask to enter but can remove it at the table. They had a security guard at the door so I am not 100% sure how I feel about that. But maybe that's just the norm. He seemed pretty nice. We all had salmon and we got some croissants as well. The meal overall was pretty good. I will say I was surprised when my bill came and dinner was $100. But it's all good. Good food and good people. Even a good server. Overall, I would definitely eat here again and would even suggest it to people that happen to be in the area. read more

I am never dissatisfied or disappointed whenever I go to Rafferty's. I have to admit every time I go I have always ordered the exact same thing. Now; please before you judge me remember and respect whenever I find something I like I normally stick with it . If you truly listen to me I promise you will thank me later. The menu item I am talking about is called the ' Bluegrass Special'. The Bluegrass Special is a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato , pickles on a special bun. Also make sure you get the baked potato fully loaded. It's delicious, favorable and reasonable priced.. once you try it please let me know if you agree with me... Looking forward to hearing from you... read more

Not a post to comment on food. This is only service and management. We left before we could order. The hostess was no where to be found when we came in and waited and then we realized that she was seated on her phone in the lobby area and finally came to seat our party of five at a four top. The waiter came to bring drinks and then we didn't see him again. We asked another waitress to bring our check for the drinks so we could leave but they did give us the drinks for free. Tons of employees standing around on their phones and doing very little. Left and went elsewhere. Raffertys used to be a really nice establishment with pretty decent food. I guess it has taken on the Memphis mentality for "because it's Memphis" and I'm so tired of hearing that. Because it's Memphis it should be better! read more

I used to go to the Rafferty's on Poplar Avenue when working in that area. Always loved it. The location on Germantown Parkway is just as good. I have to admit that both my husband and I order the same thing every time we go. I get the Chicken Salad, Soup (baked potato soup) and Croissants (with honey butter drizzle) and my husband gets the Chicken Finger Salad with Hot Bacon Honey Mustard dressing. It was nice to order the same thing as always, after not dining there for probably a year, and it being exactly the same. The service was very good and the food came out very fast. We'll definitely go back and won't wait a year to do so. read more

I wish I could give it negative stars. Advice.... Fire the whole staff and walk out on Germantown parkway and just randomly pick anyone and this place will be better run than it is now. OMFG this place is aweful. The food, the staff, the atmosphere, the management, the cleanliness. F- read more

The lady who picked up our call is so rude. My friend has a little accent but it has never hinder the communication since most people can understand him correctly. My friend called to ask whether they still open tonight. The phone lady first asked him to repeat again which I think was acceptable and reasonable. But then after my friend repeating the question she just ended the call directly without saying anything!! W H A T? I called again to ask the same question. This time she answered but after I said thank you so much before ending the call, she hung up directly again without saying anything!! WHAT ON EARTH IS YOUR PROBLEM? My accent is somewhat better than my friend but I believe people can still tell from it that I am a foreigner, or even more specifically, Asian. ARE YOU BEING RACIST? We originally planned to have dinner at this restaurant but now, Definitely not. read more

I will never eat there again, I ask for sweet tea, and lemon, my lemon had a maggot right on top, I could have been mistaken for a dark colored seed, but I looked closer and it was a maggot, we showed it to the manager and left, if there's 1, there's more read more

Well, I'll be damned! This was one of the best meals I've had in a good while. I really enjoyed everything that I had and was completely ready to be underwhelmed when I knew we were coming here. My server, bless her heart, was borderline dullard, and spent a lot of time walking back and forth from here to there for no reason. She was sweet, but really needed some organizational skill training badly. My Dad bought dinner and really liked her. He tipped her bigger than I've ever seen him tip anyone before. Strange My Dad loves this place. He says they have the best steak he's ever had. I haven't eaten at Rafferty's since probably 1996 when they had a place by the Hickory Ridge Mall and I just remember it sucking badly. Like. Bad. As far as the food that I had, it was great! My father insisted that I order the Filet (I like a Ribeye personally) so I did. I skipped the salad and opted for the "White Bean Soup". It was freaking awesome! I love a good pork and bean soup and this was superb. I ate every bite of it. My Dad even ordered some too after he saw mine. I did also eat Dad's honey croissant that came with his salad and it was fabulous. It was soft and airy and buttery and honey-y and oh my... My steak comes out a bit overdone but it was still really pretty great. I thoroughly enjoyed my food here. It had a great flavor and I couldn't imagine needing steak sauce with it. A+ steak! The garlic mashed potatoes were nice but a bit under seasoned so I had to add salt. I never do that. As I ate the steak it got better and better as it rested. I would totally come again tomorrow if you are buying. My Dad's steak was perfectly cooked so I was glad that he got the better piece of meat. My brother got a sirloin because he likes crap meat for some reason. It was good he said. We all left very happy and honestly it was the most economical steak dinner I think I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's always this good but my last visit was solid! I'll at least give it one more chance. ;) read more

ALWAYS GREAT! Professional Staff and attentive to making sure your order is correct! Good food for your money!

Good food. Ok price and clean tables. I would recommend to anyone visiting. Bar area is nice size and full of people.

Today, we were there for lunch. They just opened. We ordered steak dinners. They went up on prices. The dinner came out fast because we were the first fewest customer there. The cook missed the spot on all three plates. The steaks were sear too long. They were black on each side. They were tab tough on the outside. Why? We didn't want to make a big deal but come on now. Management needs to take notice and correct this. read more

I swear I didn't care for salads until I had them at Raffertys and them buffalo tenders an icing on the cake!!

Tyler was the best server. Super helpful. will definitely be coming back. Try the Cowboy Sirloin or the Salmon it's superb.

Customer Service just in the door was set to discourage any party from staying. Excuses, we will need to separate tables, when that didn't work, wait is one hour, when that didn't work, wait got longer. They do not appear to want to serve customers tonight. 7+ staff walking around with empty tables that they would not seat. We were the second party of 5/6. read more

Bathrooms are disgusting, garbage cans over flowing, pee all over the toilet seats, floors were nasty. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken and the chicken was raw I'm talking bloody. On a good note the waiter was great. Overall experience was horrible I will never go back and Rafferty's used to one of my favorite restaurants. Sad read more

Rafferty's Cordova location fell off my rotation list for issues stated in my Review of 2 years ago, but I decided to go back. I sat in the Bar & put in a simple order of House Salad with Honey Mustard & Hot Bacon Dressings / Potato Soup / Croissant / $10.79, which was delivered quickly by a Kitchen Server. By the time I finished the Salad, the reheated Soup was almost cold. Server Kelsey didn't check on me until I had eaten part of the Soup & laid my credit card on the table. She asked if I wanted Dessert ~ but didn't offer to refill my Water. read more

First time coming to this location as we normally go to the one on poplar. The wait was longer but understandable for a Friday night. I mainly wanted to write this review for an amazing server we had named Vincent. He was such a rare one to come across bc it really felt like he enjoys his job and making his customers happy. We never had to ask for anything and he even offered to make us drinks to go which is something you usually have to ask for. He was very pleasant and if I had a business , I'd definitely want him working for me. So big shoutout to Vincent - you're awesome read more

Excellent food and service !!! Stopped in after drive in from Alabama. Great food and service. Amonte was terrific and ribeye was to die for !! Best side salad I've had in a while. Cold bowl which no one but high end steak houses do and fabulous Mac and cheese. Fried mushrooms with horseradish sauce was great also. Do yourself a favor and stop in !!! read more

I was really depressed yesterday, so I thought I should get something to eat. Food doesn't judge you, can't talk. So I went to a restaurant that I use to go to 20 years ago, called Rafferty's. I ordered a dr. Pepper and a finger chicken salad with honey mustard and hot bacon. They give you the option of hot chicken fingers or orginal . The waiter was very nice and patient, I didn't have to wait a long time for my food, maybe five minutes. On the plus side , dr pepper was filled, that deserved a great tip. read more

We order salads from here all the time. Chicken Finger Salad. It is the best. Plenty of tomatoes, little straws and chicken. Love, love love it. read more

Birthday Dinner tonight was excellent! From the friendly greeting/seating, to the superb waitress, Nicole, to the delicious, quality food. Blackened Salmon- oh my goodness! Cowboy steaks cooked to perfection, the salads were generous with choices of homemade dressings - she brought us 3 to try. You must try the honey butter croissants- melt in your mouth! And to top it off, an ice cream for the birthday girl! Highly suggest! read more

Love Rafferty's. Forgot about this restaurant until remembered the great rolls! Enjoyed the chicken tenders and BBQ Chicken on another visit. Was disappointed when I ordered from Uber they canceled my order; since I wear oxygen that is my preferred method of dining. Therefore, I went to the restaurant to pick up the order and did not know there was a separate entrance for carry out. As I said I wear oxygen and it's not easy getting in and out of car to drive to correct entrance. Would have been nice to walk through restaurant. Overall, the food was excellent. Why was order canceled on Uber? read more

Our server Ashley was really sweet and friendly. And the honey croissants were great and the brookie was also good. The sweet tea was very delicious. However the chicken strips were overpriced and were really greasy. The bluegrass sandwich was ok. The restaurant itself was also a bit dirty. Overall everything was ok but I don't think I would be back anytime soon. read more

If I could give Rafferty's a zero rating, I would. We arrived at Rafferty's for what should have been a birthday gathering for my brother-in-law for a party of 12. Upon arrival we were told there was a 30 minute wait. After waiting for over an hour, we were told they'd have to seat us all at separate tables of 4 spread across the restaurant, but that was not what we were told originally. We then asked for the manager. We could clearly see tables that would allow them to seat us together and wanted to ask the manager why we couldn't have those tables. It didn't take us long to see why the customer service was so bad. The manager was not accommodating at all continued to repeat that he cannot give the same server a group of our size. He would have to split us across servers. He also said that Rafferty's is not the place for large parties and if his kids or family wanted to host a large party, he would not bring his family to Rafferty's. All I could say is "WHAT AN IDIOT." If for nothing else other than having us wait for over an hour to tell us they'd have to seat us separately while we watched them seat other parties of 4 during that hour, they should have been more accommodating. I could use race as part of the reason the manager was so nonchalant and rude, but IDIOT is all encompassing and that what he was. My family has loved Rafferty's for years. We ate at the Hickory Hill store before it closed, then the Rafferty's on Poplar until it closed, and were excited to still have the one on Germantown parkway, but with management like that, I can't see myself giving the store another dime. Per the manager, Mike Brown, Rafferty's is not a place for large parties. Also this manager doesn't seem to have customer service skills or empathy. BE WARE OF WHERE YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY. read more

I live in millington and the Food was great Customer service was TERRIBLE. I ordered take out for me and my family. I got my food and left. As I'm driving back home my boyfriend checks over everything we don't have and dressing or condiments for our burger or salad which I'm not a pest I have some things at home, but I don't have the dressing. So I turn back around 15 min out and when I get there. Both Togo people tall man and a young woman who looked up as I knocked and ignored me purposely after I just spent my money with you all. Then another young lady that's a server opens it and what's wrong and I told her I didn't get my salad dressing so she fixed them she was great and I appreciate her.I asked the man and young lady did they not see me and the young got very smart telling me " she didn't have to open anything, because it's after a certain time and that's it's my fault for not having salad dressings" when I know I said it over the phone twice. The take out young lady was high he eyes were blood shot red. I had literally just left all I wanted was the salad dressings everything else i was cool with and I had at home read more

Great salads, my favorite is the fried chicken salad, the BEST burgers and fries, club sandwich and fried mushrooms! Service has always been great including take out. I enjoy the seating including the cafeteria style seating with table and chairs although those seats are not my favorite anywhere. read more

Saturday January 14th my and I came in to celebrate my 58th birthday. My sister called ahead because there would be be about 30 of us. She was told that more than 7 people we wouldn't be all together. We would be split up. We understand it that because our church choir comes once a month to eat there. She was told this by a guy, but when we got to the podium this woman rudely told us that we WOULD NOT BE SEATED. She said that the restaurant would have shut down if they accommodated us. Meanwhile many people are coming in and being seated. If we're being split up, how are we any different from the rest of the patrons coming in 3 and 4 people at a time. We said that we were willing to wait, I'm standing there with my birthday cake and being told no we will not serve you and your party. read more

Do not eat here they say they close at 9 But multiple times have been there and will not take anything after 815 and there was a server or waitress employee sitting in the parking lot got boxing marijIan's. The employees are rude and disrespectful. Take the advice. read more

Been here twice this week and was satisfied both times. I've had the fries, chicken tenders, ribeye, sweet potato, and house salad. All were good and hot when the server brought it out. I haven't had Rafferty's in years because it was just ok the last time I visited( poplar location). UPDATE: The to go area staff have been very unprofessional each time I've visited. The first time I figured the young lady was having an off day, but I've visited again and the same thing. The person at the counter seemed as if I was bothering her to place a to go order, wasn't friendly, and when my food was ready it was placed.on the counter and I was told " your order ready" and she walked off. It was her tone and mannerism that I was not pleased with. On my last visit two staff members near the kitchen area were talking loud and in each others face saying " I'll set it off" and other things that made it appear they were arguing. The staff nearby said nothing nor was management called to speak with the staff members. I felt uncomfortable and was glad my food had been placed in the counter...I surely didn't want them setting it off before I got my chicken tenders . It may be a minute before I visit again after all that drama. read more

Food not very good, service worse. I used to enjoy this place for the big Chef Salad with their dressing. Now it's pretty sad. Nowhere near as big, not well executed. (And for a salad, where you're just mixing a bunch of ingredients and there's no cooking involved, that's not very good.) Poor choice of beer. Not going back. read more

After waiting an hour manager Teresa rudely informed us that we would be split into 3 tables verses the two tables we were originally told. when asked if tables would be close together or in same proximity she was rude and replied there's no way she can do that on a Saturday. We called before arriving and the hostess upon arriving told us we would be splitting into 2 tables 6 and 4, which was okay. I spoke with GM Mike Brown and he was very nice...as I told him it's sometimes the delivery of the message. Rudeness is never acceptable when I'm spending my hard earned money. Don't take much to be nice to people/customers lady. My family will not be going back. read more

How are we going to be going through what we all are but as a restaurant you don't offer call ahead or atleast once you check in being able to sit in your car and wait until it's your time and be called. Instead you want me to stand inside ( which was stated) or keep walking in and out to check and see if my name has been called because " you don't walk outside to call names" this is ridiculous. read more

I was very disappointed with the way the manager treated my colleagues and I. We walked in and was politely seated. We were a group of six at a small round table. So we moved a table up to better social distance. The manager raced up, yelling at us about moving the table. The rudeness was on full display. This is not the place to patronize if you want quality customer service. Or better yet, you want to be treated like a person. Go at your own risk! read more
