Cute atmosphere and a Cuban-inspired menu for brunch/lunch! It's an old retro vibe with pink palm trees and pink napkins. We had the Breakfast Tacos- so good! Corn tortillas stuffed with your choice of protein (I chose the Cuban Chicken). Would recommend as it is flavorful and filling. The real star was the Cubano Con Leche- comfort in a cup with the cinnamon and sweetness! Service was slow as I think they were understaffed during our visit. Overall, would come back! read more

It has been a while since I've visited The Liquor Store. However, this time the service was lacking. We came in and Tyler was supposed to be our server but we received another older lady with glasses (Carol from the check) that didn't tell us her name but dropped off water, took our order and didn't check on us at all. We had to ask her for the check to cash out. This was after sitting there for 10 minutes after being done. She chatted with the guys right behind us so much that we never got all of our order. We never got the coffee we ordered. Such a shame....however the Ube Pancakes are THE ONLY PANCAKES THEY SHOULD HAVE....the best in the world!!! The veggie sausage was a bit burnt on one side but the flavor and texture of the pancakes...PERFECT. Will order these every time I come. The mushroom gravy just hasn't been the same since the Broad Ave location. We will likely order something different because that was a staple at the previous location. Great food, great improvement, but service is lacking now since 20% is guaranteed on every check. We will visit again but likely order To-Go for further orders. read more

This place is pretty poplar. I have been to Sunday Brunch twice. My family really likes them. It is average for me. I tried the chopped cheese and fries. It was very hot and fresh. Family had traditional breakfast fare and they enjoyed it. 2nd visit I tried the smoked sausage, biscuit and potatoes. The smoked sausage and biscuit was subpar. Won't get that again. I'm really on the fence about this place. It was an average experience. read more

The food was so good this morning!! I got veggie sausage and scrambled eggs and empanadas with the sauce that they have. Sooo good, it was quick, fresh, and hot.

I Love it here! read more

Awesome name for a breakfast bar. Came from out of town and saw small breakfast sign on the side. Came in on a busy Sunday. Grabbed a seat at the bar. Staff was attentive . Food was great and they had many options. Loved the decor. A must see if you are from out of town. read more

Daughter's birthday breakfast with some friends. The food was good and the atmosphere was casual.

on my past two visits, the tocino has been disappointing as far as the amount that is served.

The food was meh. We had a trainee who knew nothing about the menu. She was very nice, but we couldn't ask a single question without her having to "be back in one moment." Was totally excited for the atmosphere and we were seated outside. It was a beautiful day, but a basic patio experience is pretty much a basic patio experience. If we return, I hope to be seated inside to see what the hype is all about. read more

There was no wait on this morning! The waitress was friendly. The server was knowledgeable about the menu. The purple sweet potato was bussing! I love them for me. It was my alternative for bread. Great casual place for breakfast. read more

The food was amazing. I had the breakfast tacos with breakfast potatoes. Service wasn't the best. Tyler our server had tables all over the restaurant so he was bouncing around and it's like he was forgetting certain tables. We had to wait to order food then wait more to pay the check. We spent about 30 minutes total just waiting on different things. Other than that the experience was good. Will I come back? Heck yea but I rather not to sit in Tyler section lol ‍ read more

This was my first time coming to this location, - usually I like to catch the one on Broad Ave when I'm alone, because there is typically not a wait - walked in with a friend who was visiting Memphis, and there was only about a 15 minute wait until we were seated. It was a Sunday and the place was fairly crowded so no complaints there. This location is much bigger than the one on Broad. There is a little coffee counter tucked away in the right corner of the restaurant, and you may order a coffee or tea here while you wait for your seating to become available. I got a chai, and it was piping hot. We enjoyed the food and the ambience was cool. Heads up on parking - it took me almost 10 minutes to find a spot. This is located in a sort of jumbled shopping center. Quite a few business on the strip, as well as another restaurant, and only a double row of parking spots. So, not nearly enough during a time of day where both restaurants, at minimum, would be crowded. I drove around the lot in circles waiting until I could catch someone leaving. read more

Great brunch spot in the heart of East Memphis. Who knew you could walk in The Liquor Store and walk out without liquor? (See what I did there lol) It's such a cute spot. Perfect for a girls brunch date. So many cute pic opportunities and it's just a fun atmosphere. My husband even liked the decor. It passed the vibe check. It's noisy so be ready for that. They have indoor and outdoor seating too. As far as the food I had the short stack and my husband had the patty melt. He loved his sandwich and my food was good especially the home fries. My eggs were basic but I'm an egg snob so I'm sure they're just fine. And this was some of the best restaurant bacon I've ever had. I had to try a cocktail so I got the passion fruit mimosa. And for $8 I wasn't mad at all. Where can you go now to get an $8 drink? Get here! It's so cute and fun and the great service and excellent food just puts it over the top. read more

Truly the most idiotic name for a breakfast & lunch restaurant. How about calling it "CrackHeads" instead - at least the tie in with eggs would maybe make sense. I saw "breakfast , lunch, and coffee" on the side of the building as I was heading east for a cup, which prompted me to walk in after having ZERO interest for the past year or so they've been open. It's a diner! Why the ... would you call it The Liquor Store?! No coffee to go, so I drove on down to the Hub. Maybe the name is derived by a marketing 'genius' who was failing a AA. read more

Stopped by The Liquor Store yesterday to eat lunch with a friend. I had the Ahi Tuna Grain Bowl. The serving was pretty big so I took half of it home. The different ingredients made the salad very inviting. It was okay. My friend had the burger and it was over cooked for her. The fries were okay but not stellar. She might have eaten five to ten of them. She left a lot on her plate. I had a cup of drip coffee which was excellent. It was nice and smooth with a bold flavor. My friend ordered a cappuccino and she said it was quite good. Our server Alex was very nice and attentive. I asked for personal recommendations and she was open and honest about what she enjoyed eating. She came to refill our water and my coffee often. The place was pretty busy so it took a while for our food to arrive to us. The restaurant has a cool decor with pink and white as the predominant colors. There is patio seating and a full bar with an open area with a couch and comfy chairs for patrons to sit. The parking lot is small because of the multiple businesses there but I did find a space. Be aware the restaurant attaches an automatic gratuity charge of 20%. The service was pretty good but sometimes this is a deterrent to give more if you have awesome service. That is my opinion. If I return, I will try other items on the menu. We had a fun time. read more

The Liquor Store might be one of the best kept secrets in Memphis. Their pancakes are always good. The atmosphere is always great and we get the best service. They don't take reservations so there is usually a 45-60 minute wait on the weekends, but it is well worth it as a brunch spot. read more

Came for the first time Saturday morning. The place was pretty empty so we were sat right away. I love the decor/theme it really creates a fun and relaxing ambiance. We were waited on pretty quickly by a friendly and knowledgeable server. She even suggested some really good cocktails that weren't on the menu such as the Irish coffee. We also got a hot toddy, both were really good but be mindful they're a little heavy on the alcohol. The food was pretty good, the biscuit and pancakes were nice and fluffy-melt in your mouth but can get a little dry (make sure to have water). All of the food was seasoned well which was nice and a rarity. We got a side of plantain, really great choice and cooked to perfection. I was a little disappointed in the menu as there aren't that many breakfast options but still enough for you to be satisfied. P.s I have not been to the old location yet read more

I can't wait to go back for brunch! I went during lunch with my colleagues and truly enjoyed the atmosphere, food, and, service! We started out with the benyays! They were light and fluffy with just enough powdered sugar. Plus it comes with a delicious caramel sauce. For my meal, I went light that day. I had the Acai Bowl. It comes with frozen acai blend, house made granola, greek yogurt, honey, fresh fruit. I wish it wasn't so soupy because other than that it was good. The price point was good as well. I look forward to going back off the clock so I can try a cocktail and other menu items. read more

Finally got the visit the new location! Last time I came with my mom, we couldn't find parking so we left. My first visit ever was to the location on Broad, so I wanted to give this location a try and compare the two. Stopped in on a Friday morning just before 11a. I was greeted by the hosts and shown to a seat immediately. This location does seem a bit bigger than Broad, as they have outside seating as well. It still gets pretty packed and parking is limited. As for the food, I gave the biscuit beignets another try. They were softer this time, but still nothing super special. Not bad, but I probably won't order them again. I also ordered the pancake stack with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage. Huge pancakes (I forgot how big they serve them) filled me up fast. Everything else was okay. They add an automatic 20% gratuity to every check, so keep that in mind. Overall, it was a nice experience. I'd likely return to try something else on the menu. read more

Delicious food and service! Definitely a good place for brunch and good portions of food

Enjoyed the ambience and service very attentive. Food solid, coffee bitter and too strong. (But they can make any type of coffee, so next time I'll try something different. ) The breakfast bowl was great, and pancakes, possibly the best I've ever eaten. Seriously! A great find and you should try it sometime. Breakfast can be pricey so review the menu in detail. read more

This is such a cute breakfast spot. The portions are very large. The food is delicious and the service was excellent. We arrived earlier than the group bc I was hitting the road and the server had a spot for us. They had really cool coffee with designs on it and it was delicious too. The prices were very reasonable. They have a screened in patio too for parties that like it outside. Also I love the lil coffee area that you can get a quick cup at too. I can't wait to go back! read more

Man, I wanted to like this place. I met a friend for lunch on a Monday. We were told it was a 15 minute wait; didn't seem super-crowded so no problem. At 40 minutes, I checked and was told that we were next but people just weren't leaving. Host was very friendly and engaging so that is a positive. But I'm sorry, managing tables is part of the job....there is a way to nudge people along and even "ladies who lunch" take a cue. At 55 minutes, we were seated. We purused the menu, looked up things we weren't sure of, made our decisions and waited....and waited....after 10 minutes of no one stopping by the table to take drink orders or even acknowledge us, we left. One of the people we had conversed with in the waiting area who had been seated before us let us know it had taken a while to get food anyway. It was a very frustrating and disappointing experience but at least I got to catch up with a friend. There are WAY too many other options in the area to repeat an attempt at The Liquor Store read more

This spot is a go-to for coffee and breakfast, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, while the coffee is consistently excellent. Some standout menu favorites include the breakfast tacos, pork belly grit bowl, breakfast bowl, and the Loco Moco. Go to drinks are a hot latte and the Cubano con Leche. The service is always top-notch, and the atmosphere is just right. I've been here more than ten times and will definitely keep coming back! read more

My husband's fault for not reviewing the receipt but the server charged an automatic 20 percent gratuity to our bill for a party of 2. Since my husband didn't see that he added another 20 percent. The least the server could've done is told us. Shame on you Tyler. I liked you at first. *I just saw a picture of the menu and it does state they add 20 percent gratuity to every bill. read more

This is the cutest little place for a great experience in food and ambiance. Two party ticket, one ordered breakfast and the other, me ordered lunch and both were good. I enjoyed the breakfast more because I love a good pancake and they hit this one out the park or maybe out the door, lol. The perfect middle with crunchy edge and the flavor is more funnel cake which I like! Pancakes, eggs and ham then I had a patty melt which was just a burger on toast and yes there is a difference. If you know, you know but it was good. The fries were not as cooked as I prefer but otherwise good as well. The cocktail which I cannot recall the name now but it was lovely. The service was great so I will definitely be back. My visit was on a Friday afternoon around 1:30 read more

This new spot is excellent! I think I prefer it over the broadway spot because of how nice and spacious it is. I was disappointed that they didn't have ingredients to serve a burger up, but their Cuban sandwich didn't disappoint and was a solid alternative. Now I know where I can find a good variant to a media noche in Memphis. Fries were outstanding. Great service, will come back. read more

Excellent food! Very speed service. Great coffee. Only complaint is there is often a wait because it's so good everyone wants to go!

The food was basic breakfast food. It's hard to mess up bacon, eggs and potatoes. However, the service was not up to par. When we arrived we were told it would be 20 minutes. I put my number on the waiting list and agreed to wait. After 25 minutes I went back inside to check the status. The hostess said she had to clean a table. After being seated, the waitress arrived promptly and returned with our waters. We ordered which included coffee for me. I waited 15 minutes for the coffee and we all waited another 20 minutes after that for food. When paying for the meal, we asked for a small box for leftovers that never arrived. I had to go to the bar and ask 2 servers before I got one. Oh! They were also out of their cheese dip, one flavor for a drink ingredient and matcha. read more

Wanted to go by here for a while. In the area so Sunday brunch might be a treat. Not! No wait for a table at 12:30pm, is that a bad sign? First impression was this place was too loud to have a normal conversation with someone else at the same table. Wish I had a decibel meter to see how loud it really was. Put some curtains on the walls to kill the noise. Ordered the breakfast biscuits and gravy. Wife ordered breakfast tacos. I really believe the biscuits were leftover from yesterday. One, the bottom half was so hard, I could not cut it with a fork. I guess a cruchy biscuit might not be all bad. The mushroom gravy was, at best, luke warm. Eggs, bland and prepared ok. Only 2 strips of bacon? Wife said the tacos were ok, but would not order again. Then the ultimate surprise, 20% gratuity added in advance. Auto tip for just 2 people? I usually tip 25-30% on my own, but not today. Bottom line, you want a good breakfast or brunch, keep going. Plenty of other better places to spend your money. Wonder how long this location will stay open after the original location on Broad closed. read more

The food was pretty good. The drink I was had was good as well the ambiance was chill & welcoming. The servers are really nice.

We go for breakfast. My first time I had the mushroom gravy biscuits and it did not disappoint. Recently I've had the special listed on the board as you walk in... Pork Belly Grit Bowl. I knew it was going to be good but had no idea it was going to be "that" good. Definitely worth giving a try, I know I will again. I'm going back... even with the 20% gratuity already added onto the final bill I'll still go back. It's a shame that the staff is limited to that as I usually tip servers 30%+. read more

After trying the location at Broad, we for sure knew we were going to have a good experience at this one. This one....... exactly how many stars I gave. One. Menu looked promising. So I ordered a coffee (black). There are no issues there. I also ordered a Breakfast Banh Mi. I was curious as to what it would look and taste like. It's hard to mess up a fresh Vietnamese sandwich. WELLLLLLL...... - Egg - over easy - seasoned - Spam - Cooked - Banh Mi - flavor - freshness The size of the plate was insane. Good if it was tasty. But since the Banh Mi had no flavor even with pickled jalapeños. Why would you add pickled jalapeños? I ended up picking out the spam because that was the only good thing about the sandwich. I wonder who decides not to season the food? Tommy's Burgers down the street has better seasoned breakfast. Service was good. There are no issues there. I did forget that 20% tips are automatically added. Sorry to say, but I won't be coming back to this location. Pictures were not taken as it wasn't worth it. read more

It's a cute little place but unfortunately the food wasn't that great. They were out of empanadas so we sadly couldn't try them but I had the patty melt and it was very very bland. The fries were seasoned but they had some sort of lime or some other kind of seasoning that just wasn't good on the fries in my opinion. Again, it's a cute little place but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

Unfortunately my rice and beans were cold which impacted the overall dish. I added Cuban pork and extra plantain and those two items were amazing. So it seems like this place is a hit or miss. The atmosphere was super cute though. read more
