SAGE " Serving A Great Experience"…read more The food here is amazing! So amazing in fact, we requested to meet the chef and ask him where he learned to cook like that. Personally, I travel the world in search of GREAT food and this restaurant, SAGE, met the mark! I was a bit weary of the service at first... But, I must say Charles and Rickey (Owners) made sure that my family and I felt and experienced the "GREAT EXPERIENCE" that SAGE aims to provide. Special shoutout to our waitress KD who listened, served, and ensured that the restaurant was clean and well maintained during our visit. Overall, beautiful restaurant and great food! Be sure to add it to your list. Visited on 8/16/2026

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. Heads up: they play rap music (uncensored version), so just be aware of that if it's not your thing. Our server did an awesome job keeping up with our big group. She was friendly, attentive, and never missed a beat. We weren't super hungry, so we stuck to the appetizer menu & ordered wings and chicken nachos. The wings were huge, perfectly seasoned, and had an amazing crunch. The nachos were a generous portion and just as good. Watching the entrees come out for the tables around us, though, we quickly realized we were missing out, so next time we're ordering a full meal! The drinks were good enough to earn a second round, and live music from Courtney Little that night took the whole experience up a notch. We loved it and will definitely be back!

I stopped by one of the Memphis, Tennessee Red Pier Cajun Seafood & Bar locations for lunch on a…read moreSunday afternoon. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food had good flavor, and I would consider ordering it again. Unfortunately, it was served only lukewarm instead of at the proper temperature, which took away from the overall experience. What stood out most, however, was the presentation of the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by numerous handwritten paper signs and messages written on dry-erase boards throughout the dining area. For a restaurant with mid-range pricing, this came across as unprofessional and distracted from the dining experience. I was also surprised that there was no standard silverware available--only individually wrapped, inexpensive plastic forks and spoons. As I was leaving, I noticed several customers were being served their meals in takeout containers rather than on traditional plates, which further gave the impression of a casual takeout establishment rather than a dine-in restaurant. Overall, the friendly service and flavorful food were definite positives, but the food temperature and the overall presentation of the restaurant left me remembering why I rarely choose to dine at Red Pier. With a few improvements to presentation and attention to detail, the experience could better match the prices being charged.

Always a great meal for a decent price! I ordered the pork cutlet with brown gravy, green beans,…read moresweet potato casserole, and roll. For desert I had a fried peach pie drizzled with chocolate! Powdered sugar was an option, but why not go all out with the chocolate drizzle? I placed my order to go and waited about 20-30mins, the cashier was so sweet, but everyone that I've encountered here has been sweet and helpful. The parking lot was packed, but that isn't unusual for this restaurant. They do have daily lunch specials, so be sure to check the board or call. I will continue to order from here and maybe sit down for dinner one day, but in the mean time, I will order take out. I do advise to call your order in, the phone line is sometime busy, but if you can get thru place your order over the phone if short on time. Overall the pork cutlet, sweet potato casserole, and peach pie were all very good. The green beans were just ok and the roll was a bit dry and hard, I used it to soak up gravy. I'm adding this to my rotation. If you haven't tried them, check them out! The place is very casual and homey like.

Great Food, Wonderful Service -- Just Turn the Music Down!…read more I found Docks Off 5th on Yelp while looking for a restaurant near Beale Street to meet a colleague I hadn't seen in quite some time. We were excited to catch up over dinner, and overall, Docks turned out to be a great choice. The restaurant sits near the beginning of Beale Street, making it a convenient stop before exploring Memphis' famous blues and nightlife. Parking, however, can be challenging. Street parking is limited, and with portions of Beale closed to traffic, expect to park a block or two away and walk. Walking into Docks feels a bit like entering a speakeasy. It is DARK! Coming in from the Memphis sunshine, give your eyes a minute to adjust. We were seated in a comfortable rounded banquette, which was perfect for catching up. Our server, Lazzaro, was fantastic -- patient, attentive, helpful and genuinely lovely throughout our dinner. He offered great recommendations and was one of the highlights of our experience. We started with cocktails, and my Sidecar was delicious. At Lazzaro's recommendation, we shared the calamari. It arrived fresh and piping hot with a sweet-and-spicy chili drizzle and remoulade for dipping. An excellent start! For my entrée, I ordered the blackened catfish with mashed potatoes and broccoli. This was probably my biggest disappointment with the food. I wouldn't describe the catfish as blackened. It seemed more like a cornmeal-crusted preparation without the seasoning and char I associate with blackening. Lazzaro kindly brought me some remoulade to accompany it. My dining companion ordered the salmon and loved it. We also shared the roasted Brussels sprouts, which were fantastic. Of course, we saved room for dessert! We split a trio featuring key lime, chocolate and red velvet. All three were delicious and made for a fun ending to the meal. My biggest criticism was the music volume. At one point, it was turned up so loudly that we couldn't comfortably hear each other speak, despite only a few tables being occupied. I asked Lazzaro if it could be lowered, and he graciously took care of it -- several times. The dark, sexy, speakeasy atmosphere works. Nightclub-level music during dinner does not, especially when guests are there to enjoy a meal and conversation. Overall, the positives outweighed the misses. Great service, good cocktails, several standout dishes and a convenient location near Beale Street. And Lazzaro deserves special recognition for taking such good care of us. If you're getting ready for a night of blues, cocktails and bar hopping on Beale Street, Docks Off 5th is a great place to fill up with a good dinner before heading out. Life is too short not to eat well, sleep well and travel well. Get out there and find your next good meal!

Was in town this past weekend for a visit and wanted to try this place out. HORRIBLE. Nice ambience…read morebut to be in a place in the summer and the air IS NOT working is crazy. Did not know this til after being seated and ordered food. Upon arrival for reservation was not told this to me or warned of this. Not to mention they have your phone number for reservation so call and alert the customer of this. I asked for a manger, not one showed to address the issue meanwhile the workers are walking around hot and my waitress seemed stressed or agitated as she sweating. Once one table left they pointed a fan towards our direction which was some better but if I would have known before hand I could have changed my mind and canceled this reservation all together.

I came here for an educator event and it was also my first time…read more I really loved the ambience of the bar. It felt cozy with a slightly gothic interior. Now, it is small inside, so when it gets busy, it gets real tight. Service was great, and I loved the food and drinks. I ordered a Lychee Girl drink, and got the soup dumplings which were a 10/10! I would 100% order the dumplings everyone. Overall, this was a hit!

If you're looking for something different in Memphis, put Swamp Bar on your list…read more It's an Asian + Creole fusion spot, and I'm always down to try something I haven't had before. I ordered the Yakamein, which is a New Orleans staple, and y'all... that broth alone was GOOD! I could've honestly just sat there with the broth. The flavor was definitely there. They also have a pretty good happy hour Wednesday-Sunday from 5-8 PM with house wine, well drinks, margaritas and beers, so that's something to keep in mind if you're trying to grab a drink and some food without spending too much. Wednesdays they have a DJ, too. You can check their lineup to see who's playing, just know there is a cover charge. Parking tip: I would park in the parking garage. It's usually around $3-$5 depending on the date and time, and honestly, that's better than driving around looking for parking. Also, Swamp Bar is 21+ and it's first come, first served, so keep that in mind before you go. Overall, I enjoyed the vibe and definitely think it's worth checking out if you like trying different food and you're tired of eating at the same spots in Memphis.
