First time here, as hubby surprised me by bringing me here for lunch! Sage is in the old Oshi Burger location on Main Street but there is nothing repetitive about the restaurant, decor, or the food. We ordered off the custom lunch menu; hubby got the Sage Burger with avocado mash, fried egg, and fries...which were seasoned just right. I opted for the Soul Roll. To know me is to know that I hate for my food to touch but, in the spirit of YOLO, I gave it a try. A traditionally made egg roll with the untraditional ingredients of fried chicken, turnip greens, and mac and cheese was the best thing that I've eaten in a long time! I was skeptical because eating those dishes during the holidays usually calls for a plate where they can be in their own section but I have no regrets! Chef Eli turned our Southern staples into an exclusive and delectable dish. This was my first time here but it certainly won't be my last read more

The food and atmosphere were superb! I can't wait to go back again and enjoy this place.

Great food at a cool spot celebrating with friends. We had a great time at Sage! The Soul Roll, wings and edamame hummus with pita chips went great with the three bottles of champagne. The wait staff was super fantastic as well as the GM, who stop by to join in on our celebration:-). I only wish Valet Parking was available.....if you're not in walking distance, try Lyft or Uber and thank me later:-) read more

Cool little spot for late night... cool little vibe and the food was pretty darn good for late night eating. The wings were really on point with whatever seasoning they put on them. Also tried the soul food egg rolls which were good and some sweet potato fries... Really liked the lounge-like atmosphere for hanging out and/or meeting people. read more

Definitely worth the wait. Parking can be a hassle and the wait was an hour. The food was delicious and served quickly. The atmosphere is a vibe, great music but not distracting during a conversation. The restaurant is small but worth every dime spent. read more

Good food, fast service. But....TURN THE MUSIC/RAP DOWN!!! Impossible to even have a conversation.

This food was some of the best food that I have had in a really really long time!! I had the pasta with shrimp, fried cauliflower, homemade ice cream. The food was fresh, the service was great. It's a bit $$$. But so worth it! read more

My sister and I were excited to try this place because of the hype, however we were disappointed when we weren't greeted appropriately. We arrived only 5 minutes until opening and asked one of the employees if we could wait outside until they opened (since they have seating outside). I guess the manager was listening in the kitchen and rushed out exclaiming we could not wait on their premises. She was very rude about it and had poor customer service. That completely took any desire to come back or wait in my car because of her attitude. read more

The food - 2/10. It was like letting your cousin experiment in granny kitchen. It's a cute vibe, but the food should match. Ayanna was very nice and gave great service tho. She made the experience better. read more

This is the spot the downtown Memphis has been missing. There is a hipster urban crowd with great drinks and good bar food. Everything I ordered came out in a timely fashion and I was pleased with it. The prices are comparable to other downtown locations and I was overall pleased. read more

My sister and I went here for the first time last Saturday during brunch; This place gave us life! It wasn't crowded; the live Dj was jamming to those feel good 90s beats. We were greeted and seated right away. I had the cotton candy mimosa and soulful waffle(fye) my sister had a strawberry mimosa and shrimp and grits also fye The waffle had a sweet and savory tastes. It reminded me of a quiche with a touch of soooouuuuuullllll! Although it sounds like a hot mess it's actually very tasty. The flavors mesh so well together, very creative indeed! I look forward to coming back often! read more

Im from out of town and I was downtown Memphis and asked a few people about a good restaurant and both people said Sage. I go inside and I'm told that I could go to the bar because it was just me. The restaurant looks nice inside and played good music. It was definitely a good vibe. I sat at the bar for 20 minutes and someone finally came to take my order. (This was the only negative of this review) I ended up ordering the Soul Rolls that are basically egg rolls stuffed with Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese, and Turnip Greens. And it came with a sauce. This appetizer was very good. I then Ordered the Grilled Salmon and I replaced the zucchini and squash with Broccoli. This dish was very good as well. Overall I had a good experience aside from the Bartender (Hailey) taking long to take my order. And she was very non chalant about taking my order. The Bartender's customer service is the only reason that I didn't give this place 5 stars. I enjoyed it and would come back tho. read more

Heard a lot about this place so I decided to give it a shot. Very intimate vibe, clean, and great music. The happy hour is good. They are not light handed with the liquor so you definitely get your money's worth if not more. I wasn't starving but I wanted to try something. I got the beyond burger sliders. Delicious. Very nice size for sliders. I can't remember our waitress's name, but she was very nice and attentive with some bomb lashes. I definitely say go visit this place. read more

The ambiance !!! The drinks !!! The food !!! The staff !!! Deserves all 5 stars!!! Perfect place for a Sunday brunch date. I came here with my 4 yr old but would definitely recommend not bringing your little ones just because you really want to sit back, relax and enjoy it all. Prepare yourself for the long lines but trust me it's worth the wait read more

The decor and food is incredible. However due to it being on Main Street you will have to park and walk a block or two but it is worth it.

Love love love the Beyond Burger Sliders and the Sage House Drink. Omg. I'm in heaven. read more

Updating review so that hopefully issues can be fixed. I like the food and ambiance; however, service and wait times needs help. For a friend's birthday, we decided to go to Sage as multiple people in our party had never been. As frequent visitors, we knew to get there before 11 and wait in line for when the doors opened since you cannot make reservations. After the restaurant opened, we were told that if we didn't want to sit outside that we would have a 30 minute wait. We were fine with waiting as those of us that had been there knew the layout and it was kinda chilly out. We decided to stand there instead of wait elsewhere. We watched group after group be seated while we waited. We were told that this was because they were in smaller groups. Note- there were no parties on the inside the same size as ours so some rearranging of tables was need to happen and also they didn't want to split tables between 2 waitresses. We were also told at one point that we could split our party which would have defeated the purpose of us all coming together. We could see into the restaurant and noticed that there was a space big enough for us; however, a group of 3 was seated there. After an hour we decided that we just weren't gonna get seated and left. What's sad is this left a bad impression on the few people in our group that had never been. read more

Came for the Soul Egg Rolls and they did not disappoint. They are cut in half, making it easier to taste all the flavors at once. Something about frying chicken, mac-n-cheese and collard greens is slap-yo-grandma good. Cool little spot with a laid-back vibe. read more

I spend 140$ for southern brake fast of 2 people. ????wth There prices are ridiculous Hi They charge you twice on alcohol and they add another fee for serving. Alcohol in the end of the bill and off course they charge for the service although we where sitting on the bar Not sure how toast waffle dipped in oil and avocado sandwich can be that expensive also they where very cheap and put me 2 slices of thin avocado Then I noice that the bill was different from the prices of the menu ? Battle of wine was 40$ on the menu When I got the bill it shown 45$+7$ The food was okay but not worth the money I am not coming back there again!!!!! I won't recommend this place You can get the same food in IHope just with out the alcohol in less then 50%. read more

Okay the wait was long , yes! But it was so worth it. The food was delicious and the drinks look good(didn't get a chance to try because I'm expecting). The dj they had was playing all the best music for a lit brunch! I know the host was tired of me reaching in the bowl for frooties LOL!! I got the crab cakes. The crab cakes were thin, but flavorful and well seasoned. Which is not something I say about most restaurants! Sage needs to keep up the great work!!! read more

Atmosphere is superb. I went with coworkers for lunch. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I had the salmon salad & daily soup which was a seafood bisque. Overall, the food was really good for what I ordered. Service was a little slow but I understood as they had recently opened. It took quite a while to get our checks but all in all, it was a good experience. read more

Dined there for dinner ABSOLUTELY delicious!! We started with the soul rolls OMG heaven rolled up into a crust. Then we had grilled salmon and bow tie pasta with shrimp. Each and every bite was amazing. I had to personally ask who the chef was... Deon made out night and we will return. Consider us regulars!! Thank You for an Awesome meal and Memphis dining experience. read more

This is just down Main Street from the Orpheum. Also not far from FedEx Forum. Nice place for dinner and drinks before a show.

Amazing experience from start to finish. We were seated quickly served quickly and all the food was piping hot and delicious. But the fried green tomatoes were da bomb. I'll be back whenever I visit Memphis this will be my first stop!!! read more

I had the Blackened Catfish for dinner and it was phenomenal, extremely flavorful and not dry at all. We also had the Roasted Chicken and it was very good, covered in a hollandaise sauce which was unexpected but flavorful. The season wings were also super good, enough for a meal, lots of meat, not dry, and a strong flavor. The Soul Rolls were unlike anything i've ever had and they were AMAZING, after trying them I wanted to order 10 more of just that, the sauce was spicy but that just added another level of flavor. The Memphis Apple was also very good. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Music was great, a smaller interior but the ambiance was nice. Definitely a place you could take family, friends, coworkers, anyone. Wish i lived closer because this would be a place i would visit weekly. However they were out of over half of their menu, and did not bring out the sides ordered for two of the dishes and when asked said they would bring the correct ones and then never did. read more

Nice restaurant, our first time here. Location is awesome and the owner really caters to people. The salmon was good and the wine selection is nice. Great spot for locals. The only reason I did not rate higher is because we made reservations, and it was all for not. Why have a person make reservations and you can not accommodate them in that manner. Other than that Sage is a nice restaurant. The waitress work hard; the place is packed. read more

We enjoyed a great brunch at Sage! The ambiance/vibe was appreciated! I enjoyed shrimp and grit, when I return ill swap the shrimp with chicken. I discovered how tasty the combo was when I ate my dates chicken that accompanied his waffle. I also enjoyed a strawberry Hennessy! Customer service was great also, the manager and chef checked in with us. Covid practices were in place. If in downtown Memphis on main check them out. Its some great murals nearby also! read more

I didn't appreciate the hostess not letting one of my guest sit with us because I didn't realize she counted my 1 year old grandbaby as one of my party guest. He sat in his father lap the entire time so not sure how he counted as a seat!!! read more

Great drinks. Food was good! Loved the soul rolls and the catfish. Grits needed a little salt and pepper but they were still good! Would definitely go again. Gratuity is already included and 2% charge for using a card. read more

Hidden spot on Main Street. Very cozy & nice atmosphere. Friendly staff that was very helpful in my menu selections. I was torn between Salmon Benedict & Soul Waffle. Soul Waffle won. 2 Crispy waffles stuffed with southern style greens, Mac & cheese and fried chicken deep fried and topped with syrup & confectioners sugar. I thought this was an unusual combination but it work. It was very filling & delicious. To wash it down I had the cotton candy mimosa. I will definitely be back. read more
