    Catfish Soul Fish Platter (regular), with Mac 'N Cheese, Collard Greens, and hush puppies!
    Mary W.

    How is this place not rated a 5?!? The food is delicious. Hot, flavorful, delicious!!!! After a little shopping, I decided to grab a bite to eat and this gem populated in maps! I had the catfish platter regular and WOW!!! This fish is DELICIOUS, I mean pause and try to savor the moment, if you can!! I couldn't... hahaha! The food was piping hot, minus the hush puppies, but even those were delicious and unlike any hush puppies I've ever tasted! The mac & cheese was creamy and cheesy. I'm trying not to go back in and order more to go! The greens are pretty good, probably my least favorite of everything in my platter, but still solid! Definitely try them! The Louisiana Hot sauce made them even tastier. I ordered takeout, service was fast and friendly! There's seating and a bar/takeout area. The restaurant isn't fancy at all and I do not mind... Instant favorite at first bite! I can't wait to come back!!!!

    A friend and I went for dinner. Very casually decorated, with dining and drinks. We ordered the catfish platters with Mac and cheese, fried okra and slaw. Food came out, nice and hot, within 10 minutes. It was quite nice, not something I could have regularly thought as it was all fried. We also ordered the caramel cake and lemon pie. To me the cake was too sweet, but the pie was absolutely delicious! Now for that, I'd go again

    Southwest Salad
    Welexi H.

    The Southwest Salad with blacken salmon on top was the best salad I've had at Soul Fish Cafe. I mean I left no crumbs. This light refreshing salad filled me up, and I didn't feel heavy after eating it. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the lettuce was fresh and crispy. The waitress was nice and helpful with questions concerning the menu. I did sit outside and which wasn't a good decision. I was fanning away flies the entire time. Next time I will eat inside to be more comfortable and enjoy my food.

    Three piece fried catfish dinner with fried okra and coleslaw. Perfect!
    Sharman M.

    We recently went to Soul Fish, wanting some delicious catfish, and we got it! They might have the best fried okra in town. Love their coleslaw, too! Fast and friendly server, the food as great.

    Cucumber Salad

    This is the penultimate casual dining experience in Memphis. Their staple dish is the fried catfish but I've never had a bad dish here. The service is always fast and friendly here, with quick seating, prompt ordering and drink refills in a flash. Memphis may be known for its barbecue, but an affordable family meal that everyone can enjoy exists right here.

    Very dry unseasoned Cast Iron Cheeseburger. Used to be so juicy and flavorful

    We've gone to Soul Fish for 10+ years. Unfortunately, that run came to an end last night. Our go to items were extremely subpar. Cat Bites were burnt and dry, vegetables were so bland, no amount of salt could salvage them, and what about the Cast Iron Cheeseburger? It used to be so juicy and flavorful. What I was severed seemed to be a cheap, frozen patty. What a shame

    Fried Dill Pickles
    Daniel A.

    Randomly found this cafe and it was tasty! Fried pickles were some of the best I've had, lightly battered and came with some homemade ranch. The fried catfish also had a light batter to it and was very tender; delicious. Same goes for the fried shrimp. The sides of the Cajun cabbage was a hit and I will definitely be learning how to make this at home. The hush puppies are usually one of my favorite sides but these came out very dry, almost like caked cornmeal in the middle. Would have enjoyed some honey butter or just regular butter to go with them as well. Staff was very friendly!

    Fresh fish fresh food always sweet and friendly customer service-nice cozy ambiance Todays order Appetizers- crispy hot hot wings with buffalo sauce on the side with fries Whole catfish with two sides... I'm still deciding which two sides I'd like to have (hard to select) everything is so tasty Our server is really sweet- keep up the great work!

    Delicious catfish and fried pickles! Great, friendly service. We came during the lunch rush but were seated pretty quickly.

    This location is on a busy street and can be difficult to get to. Also small parking lot in the front with plenty of parking in the back. We were seated quickly and got our food pretty quick. I ordered the Whole Catfish with fried okra and sweet potato fries. Ask for their special sauce. The Whole catfish seemed smaller than usually and difficult to de-bone. It tasted great and was cooked to perfection. The sweet potato fries with Honey Mustard were really good. The fried okra and hush puppies were fried the perfect level of crisp.

    This is one of my favorite places to dine. The food is always consistently good as well as the service. I got the blackened catfish with the cajun cabbage and cucumber salad. It all delicious. The price point is great also. Love it!

    Never been here before pretty nice big potions didn't cost that much. 57$ fried pickles large catfish plate 2 sides comes with 4 filets Mother in law had the small catfish plate 2 filets 2 sides Brocc and a sweet potato services was nice everything was wonderful I've always looked over this place but never went in but it was a nice choice

    Whole Catfish, french fries, fried okra, and hush puppies.

    My whole catfish, french fries, fried okra, and hush puppies were all great. No taste of old oil. Order was served fast and tartar sauce was really good also. My wife's southwest salad with blackened shrimp was excellent and the shrimp had spice kick.

    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
