Fried green tomatoes and a crispy chicken sandwich

Always a treat to go to Slingshot Charlie's when we come to Memphis. Food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. A hidden gem

Frontage.

Service was good. Ambiance is good with low noise level. Specializes in country style cooking. Eclectic setting. Food was good. Nestled in a very rural area. Menu is listed daily on a portable board. Call before you go because I heard that at times they may not open based upon availability of workers.

Can't lie when I pulled up I almost changed my mind! But so glad I didn't. The food here is absolutely delicious--just like a good home-cooked meal at Grandma's house. Everything was flavorful and comforting. The service was just as great--friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Mmmm good!

Excellent " off the beaten path " find for Memphis area travelers looking for soul food. This family establishment has a real down home feel and the food is great. I had catfish and a side of fried chicken livers (couldn't resist) with rich white beans and ham, juicy turnip greens, jalapeño cornbread and an Arnold Palmer in a giant mason jar. The place was packed on an early Saturday eve but the 15 min wait for a table was worth it. Then the 20 min wait for the food was worth it too. The servers were all attentive, affable and helpful. My dinning neighbors friendly. Come hungry and with enough time to slow down to a more "Southern" speed. It's a popular place and really the only restaurant for miles. One thing I couldn't help but notic was the demographic. It was 99.9% white. I felt a bit sad there wasn't a better representative mix of folk in the area, but I guess it was the lay of the land and due to a fair number of confederate flags on neighborhood porches. A shame IMHYO. This food would warm the hearts of us all. I do believe that's why they call it "Soul Food. " I'll definitely be routing back here again!

Hit or miss on the food. Have eaten there 2 times. First time was good. Second not so much. I guess depends on the night.

Dined here for the first time today for lunch and it was excellent! Just a heads-up that the lunch…read moreand dinner menus do vary. What we ordered: Sweet tea: Being in the South, I always judge a place by its sweet tea. This is the molasses-style sweet tea--very sweet--so I'd recommend cutting it with unsweetened tea. Breakfast egg rolls: Delicious overall. The filling could've used a little more salt or seasoning, but the gravy was absolute perfection. Chicken & waffles: Fluffy waffles that leaned slightly sweet, but paired really well with the flavorful, well-fried chicken and maple syrup. I recommend asking for the syrup on the side. The portion is large enough to share. Buffalo chicken sliders: The clear winner of the day! The buffalo sauce was perfect, the buns were soft and fluffy, the chicken was crispy, and the shoestring fries were cooked just right. Caesar salad: Decent, but the real star was the blackened shrimp. The seasoning was excellent, and I'd definitely try something blackened again! Overall: Very good food, friendly and fast service, and a cute environment. I'd absolutely come back for dinner and would recommend it to anyone.

This time, I tried a new menu item--they add and take away items fairly often so you can try new things. The turkey melt had smoked turkey and came on Texas toast. The sandwich was really good, as one would expect with thick cut bacon and smoked turkey. I was very pleased with this new item and will certainly get it again, unless they add something else new that catches my eye.

So great! I wasn't…read morereally 'feeling' seafood or southern when my wife recommended this place, but wow was I wrong. Any of the proteins blackened are absolutely delicious, as are the side dishes. And the draft beers are all local beers which is an A+ in my book. And surprisingly considering how great the food is, the prices are super affordable.

I chose this place last night because it was walking distance from my hotel…read more I sat at bar and was quickly waited on. There were probably a half dozen waitresses working. They let me sample the Smoked Catfish Dip, which is served cold. It was delicious, so I had that for my appetizer. It's a huge portion and would be more than enough for 2-3 people to share. It comes with tortilla chips and they recommend trying it with the green Tabasco sauce. That adds a little heat to it. For my beer, I had a Memphis Made Fireside Amber Ale, which paired well with the both the appetizer and my entree. My entree was the Blackened Catfish with White Beans and Hushpuppies. I also tried their Homemade Tartar Sauce and Remoulade. Everything was excellent. I noticed they do quite a bit of carry out, to go orders. It looked like their to go orders outnumbered the actual restaurant patrons inside. They had a few waitresses constantly prepping carry out bags, filling sauces, etc...almost assembly line style, just to keep up. My dinner with tip was $50 plus.

Coastal Fish Company is always a great spot for a romantic night out or a great dinner experience…read more For starters, we had the NOLA oysters, and they are probably my favorite oysters in Memphis. I love the sauce, and you can definitely tell the oysters are fresh. Next, we had the steak and mashed potatoes -- the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The lobster bisque was my starter, and it was honestly one of the best I've had in a while. The only small disappointment was the dessert , pineapple upside down cake. It seemed a little overcooked because it had a slightly burnt taste at the bottom. Overall, the service is always 10/10, and I'd give the food a solid 9/10. Definitely one of my favorite places in Memphis for a quality dining experience. i'd like to come back again and watch the sunset from the patio.

I came to Coastal Fish Company for a special occasion after wanting to try it for years, and…read morehonestly the experience was really disappointing--especially the service. Our server was barely attentive to our table. She went around checking on other tables near us, but hardly came to ours at all. The only time she really interacted with us was when she brought the check. No follow-up, no asking how the food was, no drink refills--nothing. It honestly felt like we were overlooked the entire time. To make things worse, she wasn't even the one who brought out our food. Someone else dropped it off, and after that we were basically on our own. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more attentive and professional service. The food didn't make up for it either. I ordered the Chilean sea bass, and it was very underwhelming. The fish lacked flavor, the potatoes were soggy, and overall it just wasn't enjoyable. Definitely not what you expect for the price. Overall, between the inattentive service and the disappointing food, the experience just didn't live up to the hype at all.

If you like fancy pizza, this place is for you. Walking in,…read moreit looks very modern. You know, the plain type. The type that does look good, but barely has decor. We came at lunch right when they opened with no reservation, which was fine. There was plenty of seating but it did get a little busier by the time we left. The hostess and our waitress were very nice and attentive. This place is NOT kid friendly. Which is fine... not everyplace has to be kid friendly. I just want parents to know up front that they do not have a kids menu. I asked what kid friendly options there were and our waitress suggested a few, but we decided on just a cheese pizza. This was for my 3 year old and he did not eat it, but neither did my other 2 kids (ages 7 and 11) when we brought it home. It had no seasoning and a very tomato taste. We got the poutine as an appetizer. I forgot a picture of it. My husband has had this before in Canada and he loved it. However, this one wasn't up to par. He enjoyed it, but said an authentic one is much better. I personally couldn't eat it. The gravy was just too weird. As a main course, I had the "Mikey Likes It" pizza. It was good if you like basil. It was very heavy on the basil. It was a bit burnt though. My husband had the special which was a chopped cheese. He said it was good, but nothing to brag about. I'm not a sauerkraut fan, the bite I had was good, but I wouldn't have been able to eat all of it. The fries as a side were good and crunchy. Overall, we probably won't be back. It's just not our style. Not our type of "fancy" food. This is one of those "mark of I've been there" things. Give it a try for yourself because it's not terrible.
