Three Egg Breakfast
Vance P.

Was traveling through Memphis and a friend took me to this place for a Sunday brunch. WOW! Everything is homemade from scratch. The food is next level. Our server Ally was super helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. The ambience is great. It is located in historic downtown Collierville and the vibe is incredible! Highly recommend this place!

Brunch Steak & eggs
Krystal S.

One of the most consistent places around! This place has been in regular rotation for Sunday brunch for about 5 years now. The steak and eggs are my go to. My husband really likes their grits. Service is always pleasant. The only thing that could make it better was if they offered a spinach (as a side or for the omelette). Gotta get those veggies in!

Overall it was a great experience. My husband and I were in town for a wedding, walked in and immediately asked if we had a reservation. We responded no but were instantly sat anyways! Quite a few people did come in with reservations so that might be the way to go. The food was very good, the only disappointment was my husband shrimp and grits. For $22, we expected more than 4/5 shrimp and they were not de-tailed yet they were covered in the grits. Messy and annoying, my husband spent more time digging for them and de-tailing than eating. For being one of the only brunch options in the town, it lived up to the hype. The service, environment and food was great!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. We made reservations around 6 pm the night before for brunch but it apparently didn't make it into the system. But it was for right when they opened so no worries. Plenty of seats. Staff was fine. Not like Chili's nice. But they got the job done. Chicken with biscuits were good. Chicken was tender and looked kind of undercooked (translucent) in the thickest part. Also the breading kept slipping off. Not sure if that's normal or not. Had naked tenders every time I picked them up. The biscuits and gravy dish had thick cut bacon and a thick sausage patty. Not the thin stuff I'm used to. But I wish they put more gravy on it. Ran really dry at the end and biscuits tough to eat like that. Probably the best dish on the table this morning was the shrimp and grits Benedict. 5 shrimp, decent size. Sauce was tasty too. I'd order it again just for that. Better than the gravy on the biscuits in my opinion. Check came out before we were done eating. My dad had only finished 1 of his 2 biscuits. Guess they wanted to move us out. It was packed full by 10:40 am on Saturday. The one thing I really don't like is the surcharge for credit card use. Is this a Collierville thing? Or a town square thing? These days folks use plastic and because the bill ain't cheap, folks usually don't carry that amount of cash around with them. I wish restaurants got this concept. Bake it into the food price if you must. But don't do the 3.5% surcharge thing. Takes you from classy to trashy.

Chicken with gravy

Loved this place for brunch!! The chicken and waffles were amazing!!! Same with the banana French toast! A great spot to stop in.

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + The owner Justin and his entire team (Mason, Austin, Ally, and those I did nothing get the chance to meet, were welcoming and personable. They all clearly have the best interests and their hearts in this establishment. + Extremely comfortable atmosphere. + The scallops with the grits substituted for the couscous was absolutely superb! Zero grit within the scallops. The pickled, green onions, and Italian virgin oil/balsamic was a very savory addition. + Quality of food was exceptional high with local sourcing of their beef and nothing but the finest of poultry, seafood and vegetables. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a superb experience.

Cute little gourmet restaurant located in Collierville town square. We visited for a girls night to celebrate my sister in laws birthday and the food was delicious. We had a variety of dishes and everyone loved their food. The R&L burger was super tasty, but hard to eat as there were so many toppings. My daughter went on and on about the burger and the bacon on the burger. The hamburger steak was excellent and the sauce had such a great flavor. My sister in laws loved the Chicken paillard and the yummy potato that came with it. The staff were extremely nice and several members of the wait staff came by to check on us and to inquire if everything was to our liking. Extremely tentative staff. We were STUFFED after our meals, but could not pass on dessert. The bread pudding, chocolate soufflé and cinnamon roll were all EXCELLENT! Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant in the quaint town square of Collierville.

Halibut special with butternut squash, roasted cauliflower, raisins in a Fabulous sauce with a goat cheese compote. (My description)
Amie M.

Damn...if you have not eaten here... YOU MUST! Austin, the highly energetic bartender who loves his job, made my "party of one" the most enjoyable and entertaining. He sold me on the Maple Old Fashion cocktail which was a little too sweet to my liking but I enjoyed it anyway because you could tell he really liked making it. The specials tonight were phenomenal sounding meatball dishes served In a cast iron skillet and a poached Halibut in a lovely sauce with butternut squash, cauliflower and other delicious flavors... I decided on the Halibut because well...dessert is a must! Holy hecking that fish was OFF THE CHAIN! Once I polished that dish off, I asked Austin what dessert he recommended and he said the "Cinnamon Roll" and I was SOLD! While I was waiting, I kindly asked him to make me a dessert beverage that would compliment the dessert and OMG, he whipped something up that I hope gets added to the menu. TLDR- Austin the bartender was the Sh*t! Halibut special was OFF THE CHAIN and the dessert with the dessert drink was the grand finale to the most wonderful, amazing meal/experience in the Collierville Town Square!

Bananas Foster French Toast with a sides of Bacon and Egg
Kathy D.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious brunch together at Raven and Lily this past weekend. The service was great, and the food was amazing! I had the Bananas Foster French Toast (to die for), and my husband had the Chicken & Biscuits (incredible). Brunch is busy so I recommend making reservations. We enjoyed everything so much that we made dinner reservations for later that night. We highly recommend the Hamburger Steak for dinner!

We asked for silverware again. It was brought several minutes later. We then had a 30 minute wait between our salad and our entree. During this time we never saw our server.

The days where restaurants were grateful to have you as patron & treated you that way to earn your continued patronage, seem to be part of the good ole days gone by. That is not the case with The Skybox Grill. I went once on a weekday & once on a hopping Friday night. Both times I left full & happy. If you're into that "Cheers" feeling, this is your place. The staff is so welcoming & kind. You feel good being there with the lively atmosphere & great people all around & the delicious food puts it a step above the rest. On the weekday lunch visit, I saw moms & kids, families, business men/women, folks at the bar glued to the game & those sitting by theirselves with their newspaper as their companion. All appeared to be welcome & content. The prices are comparable with others, but the quality & consistency of their food is much better. The portions are large enough to share or take home leftovers for another meal. The fresh made food is so yummy & getting fresh, quality food for the same as you'd spend at a fast food joint these days, makes it the perfect spot to have a great meal or grab to go that's a cut above the rest. Often, they host fundraising events in support of the local communities or have fun bands & always there is more than 15 tvs with all the sports going. Somehow, they're able to have everything in one, that works so completely cohesively. It's the perfect go to for brunch, lunch, dinner or a lively date night out. Wether you're the whole family full of kids, a lady lunching with friends, a guy grabbing a quick lunch, a couple on a date night or a whole group of friends meeting up for a night out, this place is perfect. Super safe and just minutes outside of Memphis, it's not only a gem for the Collierville folks, but easily accessible for the whole Memphis area. Perfect for taking out of town guest for a relaxed & casual dining experience too. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed!

I was excited to try this restaurant because my brother-in-law said it's delicious. I wanted this as something quick on the way home. I just told the manager I don't want to read a big menu. It's my first visit. I'm just looking for (in a discreet voice) a Chick-fil-A type sandwich plain fried and not spicy. He was so kind and he told me what he would recommend. I got the combo so my friend could get a diet Coke and got my condiments and waited - not for long. They got my order mixed up and thought it was in-restaurant when it was to go. No big deal. They came out with a boxed-up combo sandwich with fries and drink and the kind manager brought it to me and was so sweet! He offered me a free brownie since it was my first visit. Again great service and kind people. But the sandwich was very subpar. It had some gristle. It was not brined. The chicken was not flavorful. It traveled well. It didn't reheat well. I made myself eat the second half of it the next day for lunch I can't recommend the chicken sandwich here. Maybe it's a personal preference. I don't know. Go for the service. Your experience may differ. The restaurant was clean and organized I didn't use the restroom and can't comment on that. They were doing a bigger diver through business than they were in house however, there were several folks dining in house. Hubs ate the brownie and didn't really if it was good. It looked good! Also, if you complete the survey on your receipt, you get a free brownie at a future visit.
