They have a good amount of seating on the patio as well as indoors. Our server was Sean and he was wonderful during our visit and very attentive and sweet. I ordered a delicious lemon berry sour cocktail, which came with tito's vodka, blackberry, strawberries, and a citrus sour. For my meal, I ordered the shrimp and grits with gulf shrimp, mushrooms, shallots, garlic butter sauce, green onion, cheesy grits. So yummy! I would easily go back for both the cocktail and shrimp and grits if in the area in the future.

I sent it back and it came back well done. The fries however were my biggest issue. They were supposed to come with Parmesan and a chili oil. I can see and taste the Parmesan but not a hint of chili oil. They also came out cold and are more like potato sticks than French fries. The steak is literally maybe about 4oz but it is on the tapas menu so that was to be expected. Service is cool. Overall not really anything to rave about.

Additionally, I tried my friend's truffle fries, which were deliciously appointed with nice portions of Parmesan shavings and a great dipping sauce. The crispy Brussels sprouts were yummy with hot honey and bacon. Lastly, I tried a little bit of the smoked salmon dip and it was good too. Overall, nice atmosphere and good service. I recommend it and look forward to returning.

Drinks were good - the catfish sandwich was pretty good - I kind of wished it wasn't a sandwich though.

I've been to BarWare three times now, and each visit has been its own little adventure…read more Visit #1: Absolute perfection. The female bartender was on it--friendly, fast, and she introduced me to my new signature drink, the Hold On To Your Britches. If you like a sweet cocktail, prepare to fall in love. I only needed a small bite, so I tried the grilled cheese... and honestly, it was silly good. The kind of good that ruins all future grilled cheeses. Trust me: get it. Visit #2: Stopped in just for drinks. Still good, but service was slooooow. I would've ordered another round, but eventually tapped out. Visit #3: Visited for Downtown Dining Week. The Caesar salad was basically lettuce in a monologue--no cheese, no croutons, just lonely leaves in dressing. Entrées tasted good but were tiny. My pasta was so spicy I couldn't finish it, but the short ribs with mashed potatoes were legitimately delicious. When I go back for visit #4 (and I will), I'm sticking with what BarWare does best: that fruity cocktail and the holy-grail grilled cheese. The ambiance and seating options are too good to stay away, even if the service and a couple dishes miss the mark now and then.

The lamb skewers and scallops came out cold. The mushroom and coconut shrimp were good, but the "habanero" sauce tasted like ketchup. Drinks took 30 minutes, food arrived before drinks, water was never refilled, and my friend never got the straw he asked for. We paid $121 for tapas (lamb skewer, mushroom, coconut Shrimps and scallop) and two drinks and ended up going somewhere else after. Not worth it this time.

This food truck in this little food truck area in Cordova has the best grilled beef and pork I've had this year... and is now the newest member of my top 10 list... There I've said it. I don't know what's going on with Memphis and why we have such great food across so many different cultures. But I'm loving it... You won't find better Venezuelan food in any city in the U.S... The meat is roasting outside on a rotating spit, putting off such aromas... there's a bit of a wait, but that's what happens when you're maming wonderful things. The music is blasting, folks are happy, the service is friendly... They may only be open on the weekend for now... but trust me, this is a food truck that's ready for prime time... You're welcome.

My husband wanted to try this restaurant because it had gotten good reviews for its Cajun fried…read morerice. It was super busy when we got there so we were placed on a waiting list. No problem! There was a crawfish festival going on right outside its doors so I checked out some vendors while waiting. When our number was called I headed back to what was a literal zoo! It was so noisy that I couldn't converse with my husband. One customer (hyena) was talking and laughing so loudly from the back bar area that her voice carried to the front and startled me every time she opened her mouth. Just uncouth and inconsiderate. I had seen lots of people outside eating boiled crawfish that was pouring out of the styrofoam containers but my husband suggested I get it here. It was on the menu for $9/ 1/2lb and $15/lb but with a minimum pound order, and today bc they were competing with the festival, they upped the price to $20/lb. I had never had whole crawfish but it looked delicious from the outside vendors. I thought my husband was splitting the order with me but he ordered the Cajun fried rice and a grouper fish sandwich. He also ordered the soft shell crab appetizer. It was okay. It was 1 crab, maybe. I was so disappointed when my food arrived in a bag, especially then learning how to twist off the head of the crawfish and discovering there isn't much to them, so in essence it's a pound of useless head. I also thought the crawfish was bland and not worth the effort. Not the restaurant's fault that I didn't know better. My husband said the grouper upset his stomach and tasted like an oil sandwich. To make matters worse, we sat next to a table of 4 young people cursing and on a video call, 1 who made me hyper alert about my surroundings. I was just turned off by the environment and couldn't enjoy my food so I took the entire meal with us so my husband could eat it later. $80 bill for a meal we didn't enjoy and a loud and uncouth environment.
