Seafood boil lovers...this is the place to go. The food was fantastic and the staff were friendly. Great space. It was a little quiet when I went. I'd go back again and order the same platter.

Bar area

Whew this place def gave me my seafood fix. Upon arrival we asked if we could sit at the bar just because we like sitting at the bar. They said yes but once we sat down the manager came up to me and my friend (we rode together and damn near stay with each other) and she told us that we had to sit 6 feet apart at the bar but if we wanted to sit closer we could move to a table. (Wtf is the difference) but other then that the food was good and fresh, the drinks were refreshing and the bartenders were really nice. Side note they have a really nice outside part I will have to sit at next time I go.

Redhook totally renovated the entire space and I think their seafood artwork is super fun. The restaurant has a unique menu. They have the usual appetizers, seafood entrees, sides, a kids menu, and daily specials, but they have various degrees of heat and spices. You definitely need a bib. LOL. It's good for families, groups and brunch pals. The restaurant is clean and worth a try. I like it because my meal was not overly salty and not bland. They s good seafood.

This is the best bartender in Memphis!  Great service and the food is fantastic!

I came here from Nashville attempting to try some new seafood. I still ordered my regular but when we were seated and served by a server named "Reda" when she asked us about our drinks my cousin tried to ask did they sell any alcoholic beverages but was cut off mid sentence with a immediate no, which we found extremely rude we later found out they sell beer. We didn't like the encounter so we asked another waitress to serve us she took our order & we continued with the rude waitress. The food started off a bit nasty to be honest i ordered a pound of crawfish and alot of the crawfish in the bag was bad. Just a overall bad experience for us coming from out of town Also The vibe of the place was basic. No music or anything like that. Our bills were separated incorrectly and we asked could they separate them correctly and the waitress caught an attitude i would not recommend coming here Native to Memphis or not.

First time at this location. Our server was amazing. Very attentive to her section. We arrived right at opening and were immediately seated. I chose the red hook combo special A. This included 1 egg 1 corn, 2 potatoes, and 1/2lb each of Green mussels, shrimp and crawfish. I chose the red hook special seasoning and mild spicy level. Omg, everything was so delicious. My food was hot-spot arrival and perfectly seasoned.

A had a work layover in Memphis and wanted seafood. My friend suggested we do seafood boil. I was so excited he suggested it because the food was amazing, the drinks were on point and the service was great. The atmosphere was exactly how most Red hooks are. Not the greatest picture of the food, but it was yummy

Really really really good and fresh. Its Christmas and we wanted to drive through the city. On our way there we saw cars in the parking lot of red hook and decided to stop in. #goodchoices We ordered the seafood baskets filled with crab, crawfish, shrimp, clams, and sausages. It was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The service was swift...and Larissa was a amazing. This is definitely a place we'll revisit. Oh, and they had live music...of course I'm a sucker for music while eating. See you again soon.

Ok we had an awesome fun experience. Our server was amazing and did a fantastic job explaining the menu and was very attentive to be sure we had everything we needed. My son absolutely loves the seafood broil experience and somes time the experience of a meal with your family and friends is the best part. We got crawfish, shrimp, snow crab legs and sausage broils in the Redhook special med. I felt it could be spicier and if I went back I would ask for it to be spicer. The crawfish was a win they were a nice size with plenty of meat and were cooked just right. The portion of shrimp was more than I could eat. The shrimp is a good size and flavor and not overcooked. The snow crab legs were ok but probably wouldn't order again. I am not a fan of crab legs in Memphis because most taste like they have been frozen at one point. Our family enjoys this experience and I feel they have quality food compared to other like restaurants in the Memphis community.

Charbroiled Oysters

We visited the newest location Friday night & loved it. The charbroiled oysters were AMAZING. We went around 9 and had great service and food. I had the peach martini and didn't really care for it, but that's my only complaint. I also opted for the Red Hook Special w/ shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. Pretty good deal for the price. I got the Red Hook Seasoning, Medium.

Every visit to CHAR Restaurant reminds me why it's one of my favorite dining destinations in…read moreMemphis. The crab claws were absolutely fire--perfectly seasoned, buttery, and cooked just right. Every bite was tender and packed with flavor, making them an unforgettable appetizer. The steak flatbread was equally delicious, layered with tender steak, fresh toppings, and perfectly melted cheese. The cocktails were expertly crafted and worth every sip. If you visit during Happy Hour (Monday-Friday, 3-6 p.m.), don't miss the discounted cocktails, featured wines, draft beers, and appetizer selections. It's one of the better happy hour values in the city. Char Restaurant +1 Then came dessert--the legendary Butter Pecan Cake. This dessert had to be created in heaven. Warm, buttery, rich with toasted pecans, and paired with creamy vanilla ice cream, every bite melted in your mouth. It's easily one of the best desserts in Memphis. Even better, this masterpiece is also served at CHAR's sister restaurant, Amerigo. From the exceptional food and handcrafted drinks to the polished service and elegant atmosphere, CHAR delivers a five-star dining experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended. Order the crab claws, enjoy Happy Hour, and whatever you do... don't leave without the Butter Pecan Cake.

We came in on a Saturday around 5:30 PM, and there was live music playing at the piano, which added such a nice touch to the atmosphere. Football games were on the TVs, drinks were flowing, and the overall vibe was perfect for a Saturday evening. Service was great! Our waitress came over right away with waters and took our cocktail orders. We went with a Lemon Drop and a French 75, and both were delicious! We decided to keep it simple and order a few appetizers--the No Filler Crab Cakes and the crab claws, half fried and half grilled. Everything was SO good! When they say "no filler" on the crab cake, they mean it. It was ALL crab, and the crab claws are always a favorite. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back again!

Really a great atmosphere!!!!!!!

How in the gash darn hell have I not written a review for The Half Shell Memphis?!?!?…read more I've been coming here since birth. Ok. Maybe not that long. Most definitely since I can remember. My parents had the blandest worst taste for food, so I was a depraved child as far as flavor was concerned. We ate at very blah places and my Mom was the pickiest person in the world, but.... She loved this fried shrimp! So we came here often. I grew up in Parkway Village so we were always nearby. Fast forward to my Yelp days. My first CM, Joelle had a part ownership of this place when I first started Yelping. We even had her going away party here when Yelp ruined the Memphis Elite Program with part time CM's for our city. She was part owner and we hung out there so it seemed inappropriate to write a review. Besides, I knew Danny pretty well too and that was also a conflict. Nowadays it's been bought by the folks that turned Forrest Hill Grill around. They have closed the location on Winchester (which I called years ago) and opened up in Germantown on Poplar. I have no idea who these people are so I guess it's time. I have not been to the new one, but I have seen the menu. I do not have any intentions of rushing to try it. Seems as if they butchered the whole dang menu. Anywho.... I still like this one. It's pretty run down, but the food is still good. It's still the original menu with all the treats. They have a freaking Monte Cristo sandwich folks! I know of less than five places left that still serve them. When is the last time you saw a twice baked potato? Here it is!! They still have a changing weekly, "daily special". They still have an intense regular bar business. Good luck getting a seat at the bar at any given time. Best of all they still have those damn tasty fried shrimp! Oh they are so good! The best ever man. The sauces they serve are great. I've been up and down the menu and it's almost always great. Oysters are some of the best charbroiled that there are anywhere in Shelby County. Long live OG Half Shell! Please never change! '25 - 44/111

Now, it is small inside, so when it gets busy, it gets real tight. Service was great, and I loved the food and drinks. I ordered a Lychee Girl drink, and got the soup dumplings which were a 10/10! I would 100% order the dumplings everyone. Overall, this was a hit!

If you're looking for something different in Memphis, put Swamp Bar on your list…read more It's an Asian + Creole fusion spot, and I'm always down to try something I haven't had before. I ordered the Yakamein, which is a New Orleans staple, and y'all... that broth alone was GOOD! I could've honestly just sat there with the broth. The flavor was definitely there. They also have a pretty good happy hour Wednesday-Sunday from 5-8 PM with house wine, well drinks, margaritas and beers, so that's something to keep in mind if you're trying to grab a drink and some food without spending too much. Wednesdays they have a DJ, too. You can check their lineup to see who's playing, just know there is a cover charge. Parking tip: I would park in the parking garage. It's usually around $3-$5 depending on the date and time, and honestly, that's better than driving around looking for parking. Also, Swamp Bar is 21+ and it's first come, first served, so keep that in mind before you go. Overall, I enjoyed the vibe and definitely think it's worth checking out if you like trying different food and you're tired of eating at the same spots in Memphis.

I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

If there's one place that I can count on to be consistent when I go back home to visit family, it's…read morethis restaurant. My fish is always fresh and crispy. I'm a creature of habit so I get the same thing with fried okra. The service is always attentive and giving.

I recommend going during the lunch hour or during the week for dinner because on a weekend or Sunday afternoon, you're gonna have a wait.
