    Catfish Taco
    Eda X.

    Stepped into Soul Fish Cafe after coffee at Congregation Coffee across the street. The staff were all quick, friendly, and inviting. The fried catfish and fried okra were both delicious. The catfish is slightly smaller in portion than I had hoped. I just didn't care for water served in plastic cups and styrofoam take out containers. In our time where microplastics are ubiquitous, I'd like to see business take up on more environmentally friendly and health friendly materials such glass cups so our water doesn't taste plastic and our hot food doesn't melt the styrofoam container we take back home with. This message is by no means targeting Soul Fish Cafe, but many restaurants in Memphis in general.

    Great meal, atmosphere and service. The catfish was perfectly fried, and the macaroni, green beans, and French fries were all fresh and flavorful. I even tried the PB&J -- simple but surprisingly good. Staff was friendly and fast, and everything came out hot. Soul Fish Café continues to be one of the best spots in Germantown for comfort food.

    Fish with Fried Okra

    After picking up my mom from airport, we wanted seafood for dinner and thought Soul fish was the place to go. Placed the order via phone and waited in the parking lot until the time has passed. I walked inside and was greeted. The interaction was great. My food was ready so I tipped and walked out! When I got home and opened my food, I was so disappointed. It was the smallest fried fish I had ever seen. The salmon was more than blackened that I didn't even finished it. I lived too far to call and make a complaint, so thought I would share my experience here. This was my first time at Soulfish in quite a while. Not sure that I will be back.

    Hadn't been in a while and my son took me for lunch. We ordered a cod sandwich and catfish and shrimp plate. Everything was hot and fresh. I really enjoyed the meal. The hush puppies are truly the best!!

    I came here with a group and am not a big fan of their "seat the whole party at once" policy. We were all coming in after work down the street and planned to spend at least an hour or so eating and chatting about the book we had read, so we were all coming in at various times. To be honest, if I had known they had this policy I wouldn't have picked it because it definitely doesn't suit our needs. The food was just ok. I'm not a huge southern food person, so take that as you will. I adored the hushpuppies here but really didn't like my shrimp tacos. I was told blackened was like seasoned but they tasted very bland to me. Loved: - Side: Fries - Side: Hushpuppies Liked: - Side: Sweet Potato Fries Disliked: - Appetizer: Fried Dill Pickles - Sauce: Tartar - Tacos: Blackened Shrimp

    I had the peacemaker and it was awesome!!the seafood was coming out of the sides it was so packed in ! Place was very comfortable and good for a sports fan to hang out.

    We had a fun time seeing old friends and eating at this delicious restaurant. My wife had the blackened shrimp and I had the catfish tacos. They are the best with the guacamole and salsa. My wife thought the Mac and cheese was some of the best she has ever had! It was our friends' first time and they loved the friend shrimp, catfish plate and grilled shrimp with a baked sweet potato. They handled six people comfortably around a round table. Our server Virginia was excellent. We are sad there are no restaurants like this around us.

    The cup with the screw in the bottom.

    This had been one of my favorite locations until last night. I was served a sweet tea with a metal screw inside the bottom of my cup. Due to the tea being dark I did not see it until I had drank the entire thing down. I tell my waitress and she gets the manager and she comes over and tells me it must have come out the container that holds the tea. She says she's going to comp my meal well my ticket was $58 she takes off a $16 fish plate and brings me back the balance of the ticket after I drank a tea with a screw in it. I was gong to try and let it go but the more I thought about I felt traumatized that I could get sick from drinking behind a rusty screw.

Fries are crispy with soft middles and they season everything so well. Lately I've been getting the candied yams every time. It's like desert. So tasty. I love that they have boiled ocra, and greens and you get a little cornbread loaf with the meal. We went yesterday and we're going to go again today but Dads appt was cancelled and he didn't want to get out. We will definitely be back! 5 stars every time.

Once seated, we were asked for our drink orders, which came out quickly. The buffet offered a wide variety of both American and Chinese dishes, and everything looked fresh and inviting. There was an impressive selection--fried chicken, baked chicken, BBQ chicken, bourbon chicken, pork chops, hamburger steaks, neckbones, yams, mashed potatoes, greens, pinto beans, green beans, cabbage... honestly, just about anything you could think of. My first plate had neckbones, pinto beans, cornbread, and a hamburger steak--everything was delicious. My 2-year-old really enjoyed the spaghetti and fried chicken, while my son loved the hot wings and rolls. It was truly a delight, and they even had a salad bar. The only downside was the dessert bar, which was pretty underwhelming. There were mostly small tea cakes, along with some cobblers and Jell-O. Unfortunately, there was no ice cream, which definitely disappointed my 2-year-old. The waitresses were attentive, frequently clearing finished plates and offering refills. Even as the crowd picked up around 6:30 PM, the buffet remained clean and well stocked. This restaurant is about a 30-minute drive for us, but it's always worth it
