    Salt has a cool atmosphere! Went during brunch time and they were in fact busy. There is ample space inside the restaurant so people are not crowded inside. Make a reservation in advance. The servers were very nice and accommodating. Food was ok.

    Shrimp and grits

    The shrimp and grits were very good! I ordered a side of shrimp with my meal because it only came with 3 . The mixed drinks were good as well! I'll definitely be back!

    I came up for a short trip to Memphis and I told my friends I wanted to go somewhere that had good vibes and good food and they took me exactly there! I had the fried fish and grits it was really good and flavorful but the fish was a little salty. The service was good also. We did wait a while in the beginning for drinks but besides that, everything was 10/10!

    This place was definitely a vibe! Disclaimer, this place is in East Memphis. Take that info and do with it what you will! Any way, they do check ID and bags before entering. We went around 1 on a Saturday. It wasn't crowded at all!! We were in a party of 8! The inside is a vibe with a dj and music!! Lights low and with TVs advertising their restaurant. The waitress was very nice and attentive! We ordered a bottle with a carafe of pineapple juice for $30! My entree was chicken and waffles and i got a piece of catfish on the side for an additional $6-$7! The catfish was fresh out of the grease! Just like i like it! Served with tartar sauce, it was soooooo good!! The chicken was fried to perfection and the red velvet waffle was so fluffy! The food was delicious! My friend ordered French toast and another got the catfish and grits! That catfish and grits were soooo good! I almost ordered that entree to go but didn't! We were celebrating a bday so i also ordered my friend girl the bday sign and lights! It would've been perfect if it came with a bottle for $30 but it didn't. For $30 you get the lights, the bday sign and a slice of cake.....def should've came with a bottle to make it worth my wild! But i will def be back during the dinner hours because the brunch menu didn't have a catfish plate and i believe the dinner menu does!!

    I had a pretty good time here for a friend's birthday! I had been wanting to try this spot out. The spacing in here is accommodating. The night we went there was a live band and they were great. The DJ was also really good as well. We also had a little karaoke fun! One thing that stuck out to me is the healthy food options they offer. Many lounges don't offer that. I had grilled shrimp and asparagus. They were welled seasoned and filling. The bonus is my meal wasn't super expensive. For it to be really crowded, I must say the service was great and our server was really friendly. Cool vibe!

    Eggrolls

    This establishment is really nice and the atmosphere is great. The bartender was amazing and held a conversation making the experience even better. The only reason I am giving four stars is because the food was not great. I has the buffalo chicken eggrolls and yeah it was not it. Flavor wasn't there and they were cold. The spinach dip was average as well. I'm going to visit again and eat something else because people always say their food was soooo good, so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. My drinks were very good and my check wasn't bad as well. It's definitely worth another try.

    Salt was a fun spot to go for brunch! I wish I was able to get a picture of the food, but it was too dark and the picture wouldn't have done it any service. The salmon and grits was on tasty and delectable. The grits were made with a Gouda cheese that had me salivating for every bite. The salmon was cooked to perfection and melted real nicely into the grits. The hookah experience was so much fun and chill for the company I wish with. We were there for four hours enjoying the music and service!

    We've visited two Sundays back to back for brunch. 9/10/23: we had an amazing time, drinks were 10/10, food was perfectly prepared, dj had the tunes spinning and the vibes were present. Since a few siblings weren't able to come we decided to visit again the next week. Food: red velvet waffle and chicken, and watermelon lemon drop. When I say the bartending is on POINT, I mean that. 9/17/23: Started off great until food arrives. I ordered the cherry lemon drop which tasted like lemon. I was told someone might have used to much of the lemon lime mixer. I decided to go with the peach lemon drop the next round and that was much better. The star of the show was the catfish and grits. 10/10 everything was perfection. Unfortunately can't say the same for others in my party. Several found hair in their dishes. I will say management was professional about visiting the table to explore the issue and offer options. As someone who loves to patronize BOB, I was truly happy to see this occur and not the blame game.

    Strawberry Lemon Drop

    My first time at Salt was great, in the midst of what turned out to be a fearful night for Memphians, but the staff and security helped us feel secure and took care of our needs. Ashley at the bar was great on the strawberry lemon drop recommendation that was yummy and our server was super fun and helpful! Jerome Chism performed and he was pretty awesome, the place wasn't packed which was great, cool adult environment on a Wednesday night! I must return! Oh yeah the well known Memphis Cheesecake man truck was in the house and definitely brought some joy to the table, unexpected but a true treat

    The live band was all the way live had the crowd dancing and singing in their seats the food was good and hot and the drinks were good and ready the atmosphere was a party

    Chicken and waffles

    The customer service at Salt is exceptional! Our server/bartender Coco was very nice and knowledge! She even has a drink named after her!! This is definitely a place to try for brunch, happy hour, or a night time vibe!

    Salmon Plate - Salmon Filet, Seasonal Veggies (comes originally with broccoli, which I got but is not pictured), and Yellow Rice.

    Pros: 1. SALT is a great reuse of the space. The building had always been some type of restaurant space/bar. So, this is a good revival. 2. The food came out hot, which is BIG to me! It was good too! 3. I ordered the salmon plate. The salmon was cooked to perfection. No complaints here. 4. The staff was also nice. 5. A woman in our party really enjoyed her drink. She ordered another one while we were sitting. Cons: 1. The service was slow. We sat at the bar area at a high top table. But, everything took so long, and our waitress didn't (or wasn't able to) check on us often. 2. Though the broccoli, seasonal veggies, and yellow rice were good, these sides were bit heavy on the seasoning. We have to be careful with that, especially in our African American community, for the health of our people. 3. The Karoake was loud and overwhelming, and I wasn't even in the main section. I was sitting in the bar area. 3. Allowing people and the bartenders to twerk brings down the caliber of the restaurant. It was paradoxical to have a dress code, but a bartender was twerking on the floor. And, guests were twerking on the stools. If it's a club, then I can't really have any qualms. But, for a restaurant and lounge, there should be some more maturity and decorum.

    Best brunch I've had in a LONG time! Soooo good! We had a large party and our waitress was so attentive and polite. The atmosphere was very entertaining as well. Well definitely be back even if it's for a to go order.

    The food was amazing. The serving sizes are huge. Great music and crowd. The only draw back is the time limit at your table,

Every time is a quest and I scored on all counts with Magnolia and May! Typically, we eat at a different place every month to "test the market." But it was unanimous that we come back here next month. We all want to try something different as everyone thought their entrée was the best. Everyone was a bit concerned about the location and parking, but it was easy to locate and easy to park. Service with impeccable and food was fabulous. There were many varied choices for lunch so we all got something different with no complaints!! That's a win for the home team The entrees were savory, cooked to perfection and spot on. The decor was very comfortable, the lighting was perfect as were the fixtures . And now that I'm writing this, my mouth is actually watering so to treat this I'm going tonight with my husband for wine and dinner. It's a win-win!

Will find them again in the city since their lattes are balanced between the espresso and variety of offered flavors. Great new coffee truck to return to each week!

I ordered the "Kitchen Sink" along with a side of biscuits and gravy, and everything was outstanding. The biscuits were fresh, fluffy, and easily some of the best I've ever had.

I got takeout, so I can't really comment on the atmosphere or service, but the food alone was enough to impress me. I'm only in Memphis for two days, and this place was so good I'm already planning to come back tomorrow to try the breakfast tacos.

The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming--genuinely kind people who treat you like family, not just another customer. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere.

It has that true "homey" feel--like you're sitting in a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. And the food? Consistently excellent. Whether it's breakfast or brunch, everything is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. If you're looking for a place with great food, authentic charm, and a welcoming vibe, Sunrise Memphis Café is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.
