    Patty melt and fries
    Tara H.

    I just love the way this place looks. I don't know what I was expecting walking in a "liquor store" for the first time for lunch, but a Miami, Florida coffee shop/diner feel was not it, but it works great and looks so nice. We were greeted immediately and sat right away. Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was pretty good. I'd like to come back and try other sandwiches. I had the patty melt and it had a lot of flavor. The sauce in it is pretty good. I wasn't a fan of the seasoning on the fries. They were cooked well, but pretty salty and overwhelming. They had like a chili lime taste. Next time I'll omit the seasoning. My oldest son had the New York chopped cheese. He liked it, but I tried it and preferred the patty melt flavors over that one. I'll definitely have to get some breakfast items next time because the pancake and cheesy eggs were amazing for being so simple. The bacon was over cooked. All in all, we'll be back to try more of the menu.

    How can you pass up a place called The Liquor Store? And it serves Breakfast!? I was hooked. The aesthetic of the place is so cute. The staff was super friendly and helped us decide on drinks. I live up north and let me tell you the south knows how to season! The food was delicious.

    I stopped here with my parents around lunch time because we saw they had all day breakfast and overall it was a good meal! The interior was really cool and everything was clean. The bartender told us to pick a seat and it took a bit for a server to bring us menus, but the server was very attentive throughout the meal. Breakfast Burger (7/10) - The bun is fairly thin and was a little burnt but the patty was delicious and there was TONS of cheese! The egg was cooked perfectly (sunny side up) and the bacon was nice and crispy! The hash browns on the side were good but nothing special. Single Pancake (6/10) - It was a good size pancake but thinner than my preference. It was a little overcooked but overall a good value for only $3.

    Super cute tropical vibe spot with comfort food and friendly staff. We visited a few days after a snowstorm. The space and the people were warm, friendly, & inviting. The island vibes transported us from the ice and snow outside. We were seated immediately, but we had come pretty early in the day so I'm guessing there would have been a wait if we had showed up a couple of hours later. I ordered the sweet potato hash and my husband got the steak and eggs. Our food came out quick. My eggs were cooked to order and the bacon was perfect. The sweet potatoes weren't much to my liking though. I thought they would be freshly chopped and crispy, but they looked straight out of the can along with the spinach and were very mushy. I might have just gotten a bad batch, but I would not order again. Our waiter was so overly nice about it and said he would give my feedback to the cook. I honestly wasn't that put off by it though. With everything else they had to offer, I'd love to come back and try something else!

    We stopped in on the first day of the Miracle pop-up. The restaurant was very busy but a table had just opened up so no wait. Our server was amazing and gave a good rundown of the cocktails. I chose Grandma Got Ran Over by a T-Rex, absolutely delicious. My Classic Breakfast Plate was prepared without issue. My friend allowed us to taste her Cuban platter, and I fell in love. So well seasoned. We sat and enjoyed the atmosphere rhen ventured out back to take photos. They were still in the process of settling things up at that time. I enjoyed it so much I popped back in that Wednesday as a pre-birthday lunch with coworkers. Unfortunately, their closing time for that day wasn't what their social media had listed, so our outing ended abruptly. My Caipirinha was great, and I hope to visit again to order another one along with a Cuban platter.

    Steak and Eggs

    I decided to visit The Liquor Store for breakfast. We stopped by as soon as they opened and because of that, we were able to get seated right away. I absolutely loved the over-the-top holiday decorations throughout the restaurant. I decided to try the steak and eggs and my husband tried the pancakes. The steak had good flavor and was seasoned well, but unfortunately, the texture was not the best since it was overcooked. (Ordered a medium steak, but it was well-done) My husband ordered the pancakes and they were huge. They were literally the same size as the plate they came on. I'm actually glad that I passed on them because the pancakes were just a large stack of flour...They were tasteless. There was not enough syrup in the world for those cakes! Overall, I was glad I stopped by. I will probably visit again, but will try something different next time. I will also be sure to visit after 10am so that I can try one of their cocktails.

    I always bring friends here when they visit from out of town. The menu is varied enough that everyone can find something they like. I also love the decor and vibe of the place. Just know that on the weekends, it can get busy and you may have a long wait!

    I went with a friend a few weeks ago. It was the first day of a new drink menu and offering of a drink/shot combination. The service was great, the bartender's choice of drink/shot was solid for the price point. On that note, our server was fantastic and friendly. The vibe is casual and easy going.

    Sweet potato hash with fried eggs

    I get the same thing every time. I love the chicken on this- it is marinated and seasoned to perfection. The espresso martini is also really good. Service is prompt and professional. Parking can be a challenge if it's too many people there.

    Decked out for Christmas

    Super festive atmosphere! They know how to make the holidays bright, that's for sure! Server was extremely friendly despite the packed house. We went there for breakfast but because I had read about the owners being from Cuba, I HAD to get their Cuban plate. Their chicken was delicious with the secret sauce served along side of it all. Plantains were fantastic! Husband got their breakfast tacos which were really good but the Cuban plate stole the show. This former liquor store was so cute and busy for a good reason.

    Biscuits and gravy meal
    Ally H.

    I realllllllllly wanted to like this place. All the reviews are great and I had high hopes. On arrival we were greeted and told it would be about a 30 min wait and was told about a back bar we could wait at (even though there were multiple tables open). So we went around back and got a couple bloody mary's which were decent. When they called us for our table (which is a great feature), we were asked whether we wanted the bar or a window seat. I was kinda bummed there were no tables available, but we sat at the bar. Food: we got the sweet potato hash (4/10) and the biscuits and gravy (7/10). The hash lacked flavor and wasn't seasoned well. The gravy on the biscuits was delicious but there were WAY too many biscuits and not enough gravy. They really should do twice the gravy and half the biscuits. Food was overall average. Cocktails: we got the side car (8/10) and espresso martini (10/10). The espresso martini was the winner of the meal!!! Service: Staff was 5 stars. Overall friendly and attentive. Service was definitely slower than most places, especially when it came to the food. For 2 meals and 3 cocktails it was almost $80. That's one pricey brunch. Overall: I don't know if I would go back. For the price I don't think it was worth it. I'll give it another chance once they have their full menu up (bring the eggs Benedict back!).

    Love this place. They have veggie and vegan options, espresso, and a cute atmosphere with great music.

    Severe disappointment today. This was my guaranteed go to place in Memphis. What happened? Red flags popped up today. For breakfast, ordered my sweet potato hash. "Sorry, we are out of spinach" What? That's misrepresenting to your customers. I come to TLS because they serve their breakfasts with vegetables. If you are short of any of the ingredients that make you special, you should close or put a huge sign informing your customer that you screwed up"p

    Time for an update! Sucks to write this one, but it's where I stand on this joint!…read more Since my last review, the owner died, the place caught fire and closed under the new owner, was then bought by another restaurateur couple and a their partner. They remodeled it, filled the kitchen with new equipment and food, slapped some paint on the walls, then let er rip! The operators here also own and operate Bain's BBQ just down the road. I've been here three times now since it reopened. It would be more, but here we go... They have daily lunch meat and threes that rotate by day of the week. I always check the website to see what's being offered before I go to places like this so I can see if they have something I want. I really dig these kind of lunches, I seek them out when I want a "solo decompress, don't talk to me lunch", so I want to like this place so much. I quit going to Bain's a year or more ago because of never knowing what they are selling. The menu is never updated on the site, or even there at all now. Every time you walk in it's a surprise! I just checked again to verify, and yep, still no menu, only online order, but 60-70% of it is "out of stock". Ugh. When they do have the menu posted, it's normally wrong. This seems to be a trend between the two places now. The first time I was here I was underwhelmed. Country Fried Steak tasted funny and I had the worst cornbread I had ever had. Not even sure how it was made that terribly. I do hope they fixed it. Second visit and this time the printed menu didn't match the website, but they had the websites menu available, strange. The website showed fried chicken livers available, but the dine in menu did not. When I asked, they said they in fact did have them and it was a mistake on the dine in menu. Huh? That time I did have the chicken livers and they were pretty good, and I also one of the best rolls that I have ever had in my life! Shockingly good!! Better than my grandmothers. Please don't smite me from the grave, Gram. Both times the sides were just fair. Same thing at Bain's, so it makes sense. Today I walk in and there is one table sat in the whole place at 12:15. I got a bad feeling from the jump as I am pretty sure the food is all done and just sitting there being held on a hot well table. If it ain't busy, it just sits. This place used to be packed every single time you walked in! I sit down and the old guy with the really cool hairdo comes and gets my drink order and gives me a menu. The livers are not on the menu again... My last visit was 8 months ago, I checked my pic. I knew what I wanted because I had peeped the site and confirmed they had Fried Chicken Livers just like last time, so it's all good, right? Guess what?!?! Still not on the dine in menu so I'm like "can I get the livers", cool guys says no livers and walked away. 8 months later, it's still not corrected. I sit there for a minute, and got pissed off and then, I looked around, thought about eating old meatloaf or fried chicken, took a sip of my water, and I got up and left without ordering. My advice, (that I understand that absolutely no one gives a shit about) is this. Stop putting so much effort into your Social Media BS and get your shit together on the menu/websites of the business's you run. It's cute and all for you to eat at other Memphis BBQ joints, I like bbq too, but let's shore up your own operations before you do so. That way we can all enjoy all of our meals together and you stay in business. I used to love both of these places, but now I fear they are just going to be memories of was once a couple of my favorites. One more try.... I'll update again if it's all good then. '26 - 19

My friend owns a larger catering/events establishment in Georgia and was excited about the menu at the establishment. We walked in (on a whim) and asked if tables were available (clearly we saw some on the patio and inside once we entered). The greeting from the hostess was - let's just say less than inviting. . It was around 7:40p and she said "well since you don't have a reservation, the soonest I can get you in is 8p" ...no problem we will walk around until then. My initial thought, screw this reservation - if the hostess has this type of demeanor, what could we expect in terms of service? As my friend was still excited about the menu and to taste some of the pairings, we decided to wait. At 7:59 (like clockwork), the notice of our table being ready was sent. The hostess seated us and again, I wasn't optimistic of what would occur during the visit. The server that greeted us was GREAT!!! We ordered SEVERAL appetizers and drinks and all were AMAZING - (the grilled avocado with the shrimp was worth the trip alone). For dinner we ordered Peking Duck and Ribeye Steak Salads (and more drinks). Both were amazing. And while the desserts looked divine, there was absolutely no room. We were impressed with the old Beauty Shop decor - it really was a conversation piece. It's small and quaint and we had a lovely chat with the patrons alongside us. The food and service EXCELLENT! I'm glad that I didn't follow my first inclination to leave (because of the hostess and the "curt" demeanor). On a high note, I did notice the hostess being very gracious to the others that she encountered. Maybe it was my cologne - not everyone likes to smell YSL ‍.
