Ambiance is alwsys nice. We arrived at 11am...opening time. Soft lighting. I had the chicken egg rolls and spinach dipnwas shared. I dont eat salmon but it looked good. Music played and big screen showed a blk and white movie. Service wasnt the fastest but they were very professional and nice.

This was a pleasant surprise. We were looking for a place for lunch in the middle of the week & stumbled upon The Majestic Grille. The atmosphere is supper club like with it being a little dark. We sat & ate at the bar. The bartender/server was enjoyable. She was professional with a little sass. The food was delicious. We had the daily ravioli special & the deluxe grilled cheese. They were both delicious & a couple local beers. The architecture of this building is beautiful & classic. We will return next time we are in Memphis!!

I was torn between giving The Majestic Grille a three or a four stars! The food was incredible, but we did have to wait a pretty long time for our food! They were able to seat us immediately after we called and got a reservation, but once we ordered it took a long while for them to come! The restaurant is beautiful! They have lots of seating. On the menu, they also write a summary about the history of the restaurant which is very interesting to read about. The portions also seemed pretty small for what you paid for. We ended up eating pretty much all of our food. I shared the salmon and salad with a friend, and we really enjoyed it. The salad was very fresh, it just seemed to be on the smaller side! However, someone else in our party got the Shrimp and Scallop Spaghettini and they were not very impressed. They did enjoy the Grilled Pork Tenderloin though! Our server was great! He was super conversational and made sure we had everything we needed. They do add gratuity in for larger parties, so be sure to check your bill before adding it on again! I think I would come here again!

I went back and forth between three and four stars, and decided to round up. I stopped in for lunch, and having perused the menu before I came, I was ready to roll when my server came up. I thought he was kind of oddly formal for a place with plastic cups, but I wouldn't say unfriendly. I ordered the salmon blt with the remoulade on the side. That ended up being a good decision, as the remoulade just tasted like a bland burger sauce, and I am unreasonable in my distaste for mayo. It had no zip, it was just ... blah. The salmon was cooked well, but the fish wasn't seasoned, which was a disappointment. The sandwich was on a lightly toasted bun, with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Even without the sauce, had it been seasoned it would have been great, it just didn't quite get there. The fries are shoestring style and come with a bit of Parmesan to make it fancy. They were alright. I didn't see my waiter again until I was finished. I thought $17 for a salmon sandwich is fair. The quality and size of the fish was good. I thought the decor was great. I loved that it used to be an old movie theater. It has vibes. I think this is a pretty good option if you are in Memphis, looking for something other than bbq. They have a nice patio right on the trolley line, when the weather is good.

This was SUCH A COOL PLACE to have dinner. Supposedly it used to be an old theater which you can believe based on the layout. We were seated immediately on a Wednesday evening. They play a movie on the big screen but had a strangely placed palm tree right between my eye level and the screen so I couldnt' see much of anything. GF expressed disappointment that she couldn't watch the movie because she likes it. I reminded her that perhaps they were assuming the patrons would want to talk to each other instead. The service was wonderful. They have a nice cocktail menu. I ordered the ranch water which I was told was very strong. I didn't find it so and I am a lil bitch. It tasted very similarly to water. It was ok, nothing to knock my socks off but I have an immature palate and unless it's sweet or strongly flavored, the socks are staying on. For her drink, GF ordered a manhattan. "It was good" she says. For our food, GF ordered oysters, fries, and spinach. I ordered a salad and ravioli (I was thrilled to see a vegetarian entree, literally one of the only ones I had seen for days prior on our vacation). Regarding her meals, GF says, "it was good, too". I tried some of her fries which were crispy and topped with that parmesan and parsley business. They were EXCELLENT. Very high quality fries. The salad was great. Very fresh ingredients. Very enjoyable all around. The ravioli was exceptional. There were some sun dried tomatoes and spinach in there with a very delectable creamy tomato sauce. Heavenly. Didn't leave one 'oli to spare. For dessert, they provide these little almost like small old fashion glasses of different desserts, which is interesting. I recall a key lime pie, tiramisu, carrot cake, probably cheesecake. They're small and you can get them in a flight. This is very interesting and I like this idea. Some people don't need a massive slab of cake on a plate. The only bad thing is we are bring-dessert-home-for-later bitches and they don't offer that. I had the carrot cake, which was good.

I love the ambience of this restaurant the art deco design is so cool & detailed and the food was delicious Check it out

Beautiful restaurant in a former theater which I was also told was a recording studio frequented by Elvis, and a distillery at different times. I had the Cajun chicken eggrolls, recommended by the friendly bartender Ana. They were delicious, definitely house made with a great sauce on the side. I also ordered fries- they were just ok - with a lovely glass of rose. Great experience overall!

Menu

Came here on a Sunday with a group of girlfriends. We had a reservation and upon arrival we were shown to a room with 1 table away from the rest of the restaurant. The main attraction of this establishment is the ambience so it was a disappointment to be placed away from the ambience. We came in May, yet were presented with a drink menu that still featured the Christmas beverages, which was very disrespectful to the customer in my opinion. Even on the online menu it is not updated. Why would you even give that to a customer? We ordered some off menu drinks and the glasses they came in were interesting... martini glass was the size of a Barbie glass. A margarita is $21, are the limes flown in daily from the Florida Keyes? What is the reasoning behind that pricing? The food we ordered did come out in a timely manner but nothing was special. I think you could definitely skip this restaurant. There are a lot more restaurants in Memphis that have better flavors and interesting drink options.

The Charcuterie Board.

A Perfect Birthday & Valentine's Weekend Dinner! We visited Majestic Grille on Friday, February 13th, and wow--are we glad we found this gem! We're from out of town and decided to celebrate my birthday and Valentine's weekend in Memphis. Our original restaurant choices were fully booked (I'd been on waitlists for weeks!), so we canceled those plans and got a list of recommendations from a museum we visited earlier that day. That's when Majestic Grill caught my eye--just a few minutes from our downtown hotel. We called ahead to check availability since most places were packed for Valentine's weekend. A wonderful gentleman answered and assured us he could get us a table. When we arrived, we were seated immediately--such a pleasant surprise! From there, everything was exceptional. Our server, Macy, was FANTASTIC! My partner doesn't drink, and she offered to have a mocktail made for him, while I enjoyed the "Clover Club"--perfectly crafted and delicious. Great start! We shared the Charcuterie Board as an appetizer, and it was so good that we finished every bite. For our entrées, we both ordered the 16 oz ribeye--mine with a blue cheese crust and his with peppercorn. Both were cooked to absolute perfection, and the sides were just as amazing. The atmosphere was top-tier--the lighting and ambiance made the experience even more special. Coupled with outstanding service, this was truly a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back--probably for every birthday going forward! Thank you, Majestic Grill, for making our weekend unforgettable!

The food was,, so, so! Not bad, not what I would call good. Their only deserts come in one of six shot glasses. It's a bit pricey but not over the top. Its primary value is the experience and the friendly service. The setting is great! Though I would not go out of my way to find it. It's a good place to sip some Tennessee whiskey and watch the people go by.

Pork Tenderloin with Maple Glaze
Sarah P.

[This was ordered off of a limited menu during a private event and may not be available to all guests] The cesar salad, not pictured, was fantastic. It was already tossed in some of the best cesar dressing I have had when it arrived. I was expecting the pork tenderloin to be pretty savory despite the glaze, but it was overwhelmingly sweet which I wasn't a huge fan of. However, the quality and cooking of the meat was great. The mashed potatoes were awesome. Service was great. The private room was the perfect size for our group. I highly recommend them for a private dinner.

Do you have to make reservations?

No you do not.

Does The Majestic Grille serve non-alcoholic beverages?

Serves both. Can make non-alcoholic cocktails.

Where is the easiest place to park? Is the walk too difficult for my 80-year-old parents?

Park the peabody garage. It has elevator. Majestic is cross the street. Pretty easy to walk.

Is this a great place for Easter brunch or for brunch on a normal day or dinner? We are in Memphis for a short time and trying to plan?

I would do Flight if you're looking for a great special place downtown. Majestic is more affordable if you are looking for budget. Houston's or Folks Folly are great Memphis places on Poplar Ave (Not Downtown). Hope this helps! Flights does take… 

Do they have a gluten free menu?

I did not see one the last time I was there.

I don't know what was off, but it was not a good experience. The vibe wasn't bad, and the food was great. I think on a better night it could be a great place to go.

Wow...just wow! This is a beautiful restaurant that's only open for dinner. It's definitely a…read moredress-to-impress kind of place, with excellent service and very unique food. The idea of serving "flights" of entrees with three small plates equaling the size of one main entree...so cool! And you can mix and match, though I opted for the traditional Fish flight. This included haddock on a delicious rock shrimp risotto, Chilean sea bass (delicious) over black rice, and some salmon over a puree. Everything was amazing...and even the three small plates were more than enough food. I do wish we'd saved room for the dessert flight.

Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!

Later during the meal, he admits that Momma's is one of his spots, so that's saying a lot. It sort of looked like another bar/restaurant from the outside, but they have a nice outdoor patio overlooking an old decrepit building which is at least some scenery. Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good. Overall, I really liked this place and it's one of the best meals I've had in Memphis the handful of times I've visited.

I'd give the food a 5 star rating. Wings, burger and chicken sandwich were all excellent. But the…read moredine in experience was a zero for my 58 year old self. We sat at a table in the bar area as it was humid outside. To say we didn't fit in was an understatement.
