We just stopped by for cocktails but man, what a HUGE menu! I wish we had known and had been up for a meal. Actually, the reason we ended up here was due to a tip from one of the street car drivers, and I'm glad we know about it now. read more

I live 2.2 miles away. After placing my order, they called back to inform me they don't deliver to my neighborhood, the predominantly Black hamlet known as New Chicago. They already charged my card, which will take several business days to get my credit back if ever. 2.2 miles away. read more

Crappy service and extremely overpriced. Tourist trap. Got bacon wrapped shrimp as an app and it was $9. I was expecting more than 4 popcorn shrimp in the tiniest piece of bacon. Also had the queso rotel and it wasn't good at all. Watched as customer after customer complained about the service. Avoid!!! *bartender was cool. Only reason for the second star. read more

Westy's - Live from the bar. - American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

So I have not eaten there in a while but my wife ate there a couple weeks ago and had a BLT. I used to love their rice dishes . I ordered a number 11 my wife ordered a 15 they put my cheese and bacon on my wife's number 15 which she doesn't like cheese And bacon so I called to see what they could do. They wanted me to bring the food back but I already had a glass of wine and I couldn't do that. I told the waitress I wanted to seven dollar credit she said they couldn't do that they wanted to refund the whole amount of money for my number 11. . And they said the special manager had to call although Jake shore was there who owns the place? I have known the man for a long time, but he doesn't really know me. I used to eat there when I worked downtown all the time they gave me about 1/4 to 1/3 of the portion I used to get when I ate there Along time ago, debra.the special manager called me and did say they would give me a refund and I told her not to worry about it that I would take care of it on social media and I would call American Express and complain. Also, I had a hard day at the office and just wanted some good food that I had eaten a long time ago this did not happen. I should've gone to the rendezvous because they always give me 100% and that was my first choice for supper but me and my wife change that. I am extremely disappointed and would give them a zero if I could. at first they want to get to give me a credit, but I ain't eaten there again, So what good would a Credit do me if I'm never gonna eat there again read more

What an awesome place to eat. The best bar food in Memphis. The menu has something for everyone. Great service and a fun atmosphere. We had fired green tomatoes, fried mozzarella. Shrimp basket, turkey burger. Everything was well worth the money . Loona was a great server. Had a smile on her face the entire time read more

Food was good. Service was alittle long. A lot of door dash orders coming in But overall I liked it. This was the first time I have eaten here. and it's funny Bc I'm a Memphis native. Highly recommend the food read more

I wanted so badly to give this 5 's! The food was delicious, the beer was amazing and i loved my extra dirty martini! The live band was talented and at times really funny with a great song list to go with the weather and general mood. The only issue i had was our server who was rather bristly and a bit rude. 100% worth checking out! read more

The "Ultimate Hot Fudge Pie" was excellent, according to my son. He absolutely loved it. Inside seating has tables and comfy booths, but keep in mind that this is one of few late-night pubs/diners serving both food and drinks- and it can get crowded! The phone might be ringing off the hook, (poor folks who just realized their hotel doesn't have room service!) but it feels good to see people have fun and to see the business thrive. Good music and drinks to boot. read more

Westy's is the best bar/restaurant in downtown Memphis! 1) food is fabulous 2) atmosphere is cozy 3) Jessica is THE most personable, attentive and amazing Bartender EVER!!! Don't waste your time on Beale for good food...save yourself $$$ and disappointment & go to Westy's!!! read more

I have to say the service in here was terrible long wait for terrible food and service. Came there due to close to hotel but should have went somewhere else not somewhere I would go to in the future. read more

I was really excited to eat here because the menu looked awesome. We walked in and sat down and started browsing the menu. We made eye contact with the server and he even came over to clear the table next to us. As a server I understand being busy and people having to wait but there was almost nobody there. We waited for 25-30 minutes and no one even approached us to take our drink orders. Not only was the service horrible but the server who also stared at us and still didn't acknowledge us at all was completely disrespectful. Would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. read more

Had the jambalaya. It was excellent. But my favorite part of the meal was the homemade roll that came with my meal. It was so good. I could definitely be talked into having this meal again. Everything on the menu sounded good. read more

We got to Westy's a little late on a Tuesday night. The service was friendly and the food was very good. I had the homemade shrimp Alfredo....very tasty. I will be going back again...soon. read more

Great stiff drinks and a lot of characters. I always stop in while I am in town. It is open late and they serve food late night. Their fried catfish is excellent. No frills, just good service, drinks and food. read more

This place is just OK. I think they boil their ribs. I asked the server if they were smoked ribs and she confirmed that they were . The ribs shreaded, had no smoke ring, and had no smoke flavor as if they were boiled. If I'm wrong please advise of my poor observations. read more

I visited Westy's on a Sunday with a party of 6. We were possibly the first ones in for the day and the restaurant was quiet at our arrival. Our server was very friendly and attentive, but both our main courses and desserts took a long time to come our, despite how quiet things were. I ordered their philly steak and cheese sandwich and was brought out a sandwich with chicken instead of steak on it. My meal was then replaced with the correct sandwich, but it was then a product of being rushed: the onions and peppers were undercooked and the overall sandwich was bland. The saving grace of Westy's was the dessert- my companion ordered the hot fudge pie and it was piled high with ice cream and whipped cream. Another companion and myself ordered the fried dough, it was AMAZING but took a very long time to emerge from the kitchen. I would probably not eat there again, but I wouldn't turn down their dessert. read more

A great dive bar if that's your thing. I love a good dive and place that's open late. Westy's doesn't disappoint. The full menu is available to close, but I can't vouch for the food as I just had a couple late night beers. If you're staying downtown and looking for a drink late, this is the spot! read more

This is a dive bar and I love it! The tamales are to die for. Try the #4 tamales. It is so yummy! Bacon wrapped shrimp is awesome as well! Nice staff, great service. read more

This was an experience... great selection of Memphis beers. Creole dishes are HOT! Fried green tomatoes were good ole cornmeal coated and perfectly fried and fresh. It would have 5 stars but someone at my table had a long black hair in their bisque :( Waiter was great and fun. Patrons were friendly and lively. Cool glimpse into local life. read more

What a great find! They seemed a bit short staffed but Robbie the bartender added our table to his service and did a great job! The six of us each got something different and it was all delicious! Food was served hot and with a smile. Walls are covered with interesting memorabilia. Highly recommend! read more

Do NOT order from this rat infested establishment. As a healthcare facility we placed a large order from this place and the third party delivery driver did not bring our order due to stating the restaurant has rats. We called the owner to verify this and to our disbelief the owner was very RUDE and said there are rats all over the city. It is terrible that a well known place has such poor customer service especially from an owner! And to make matters worse he stated he did not want any orders from "US?!" read more

9-9-22 at 3:30 pm the beer and my server were great but the food is horrible. Had the cloud sandwich, my bread was fried to a crisp. It cut the inside of my mouth all up trying to eat the bread. No worries I'll will never return to this establishment. read more

We had a wonderful moment on this restaurant. The waitress was really nice. The food is good espacially the french fries and the hot fudge pie. The Reuben is good but i have already eaten the same sandwich in another restaurant in Memphis and it was better. Anyway, this restaurant is cool and you must stop by. read more

Food simply wasn't good. My entire table was dissatisfied, and we aren't hard to please.

Rice Dishes are still Delicious My friends and I used to go here many years ago when it was the "North End". Well, time goes on, life changes, but recently I was able to take my wife to Westy's for the great food. The staff are on their game and made us feel welcome. My favorite dish (not even on the menu) is the Wild Rice with bacon, cheddar and sautéed onions. It was good then - it is still good now. Moist rice, the smoky-flavor of the bacon mixed together with the melted cheese and onions. Mmmm!! Delish! Oh my - I almost forgot the pie! You may have had it, but be sure to get their Fudge Pie. Chocolatey goodness piled high with ice cream and whipped cream. Of course, you may get a sugar buzz, but hey - isn't that what it's about? Plus the good tasting dessert, of course. If, like me, it's been awhile since you've enjoyed the food of the North End, venture on down to Westy's. The place and the atmosphere is still the same and the food is great. Treat yourself - and take your "new" friends with you. You'll all be glad you went. read more

Very very rude and unprofessional staff. All I wanted to know was how much longer it was going to be after waiting 15 minutes and instead of saying just a minute he was condescending and rude to me and accused me of lying about his staff. read more

I am shocked at the high reviews. I used to work there, so I've had a bunch of stuff on the menu. My stars go to the rolls (I think I ate my body weight in rolls while I was there!), the hot fudge pie, and the fact that it's open until the wee hours of the morning. Sucks for us closers, but good if you need a meal at 2 am. Having said that...if you are looking for bar food (fried), this is a great place. But be aware - most of it is frozen or microwaved. I would get a kick out of people who raved about the ribs - they are microwaved, then finished on the grill. With super-awesome rib places throughout the city, never understood those that got them here. Tamales - microwaved. Gumbo - made then frozen. I do like the rice dishes, but put enough butter on something and it's bound to taste good! Anyway - not really intending to rag on the place....just was so surprised to see 4 stars on Westy's. read more

Before now, I had only had two experiences with Westy's in my life. They both involved Zoo Rendezvous, and they both involved hot fudge pie. Every year I have attended Zoo Rendezvous, I make it a point to stop by the Westy's booth to try this hot fudge pie at least once (this past year I may have gone back for seconds and thirds). Since I have enjoyed their hot fudge pie so much, I thought it was time to take a trip down to the actual restaurant to see what they had to offer me in terms of real food. Westy's is a casual dining spot on North Main in Downtown Memphis. They Christmas lights, pictures on the walls, and booths so you can kick back and relax. This is exactly what we did that night as we prepared ourselves for the Death Cab for Cutie show at Mud Island after. When sitting down, the first thing I noticed is that I am welcomed with reading material on the table. Just in case your company is dull, pick up one of these local magazines to read before and during your meal. Dining alone for lunch? Even better. Erin started off with a side salad, and it was a very good size for a side salad. It also came with lots of yummy toppings. They don't skimp on these. Scott and I ordered some toasted ravioli and tamales to start off with. They came out very quickly, which excited me as I was starving. However, they tasted like the kinds you buy at Sam's Club and make yourself. They are obviously just your no-name brand raviolis and tamales that are heated up to serve to guests. For entrees, Scott ordered the Helluvaburger, which is "Pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, hot mustard, onions, and pickles with jalapenos and Tabasco on the side" and tater tots. I ordered the Pulled Chicken Sandwich, which comes with lettuce and Gouda on an onion roll, and french fries. Overall, we both agreed the sandwiches were very average. There was not much special about them, and I feel I could have made a better sandwich at home. Erin got a wild rice dish with chicken and veggies. She said hers was really good. According to her references, the rice dishes are the best. Guess that is what we should have gotten. For dessert, we obviously had to get the hot fudge pie, as this is how I was originally drawn to the restaurant. The hot fudge pie was good, but not as good as I remember it to be at Zoo Rendezvous. I love that they use french vanilla ice cream instead of regular vanilla. It adds a nice, extra-creamy touch. However, this particular one seems like it sat in the window for a hot minute waiting on someone to bring it to me. The brownie was a little stale. I will say that Westy's has an overly extensive menu, with lots of options for whatever you are in the mood for. Some of the sandwiches make me want to come back to try out of curiousity, like the grilled strawberry melt with cream cheese and strawberries or the honey and ham melt. However, since this place is so far out of the way from most of what I do, I can honestly say I will not be back for a while. There are many other places I would rather eat. read more

We have come to Westy's multiple times -- mainly because it's the only place open in the area we live in. Every single time we come here, the wait staff seemingly refuses to take our order until we explicitly ask them to. Each and every time the wait staff looks directly at us, does not acknowledge us or take our order, and proceeds to help everyone else in the room. At best, this restaurant is massive failure of a business operation. At worst, the staff and owner are homophobic -- and I don't say stuff like this about places without having multiple specific and tangible examples. Avoid this place--do not give them your money. Save it. read more

Out of spinach. Couldn't serve artichoke dip. Out of french fries. Dirty, sticky table. Greasy floor. Shrimp bisque tasted a way too much like sour cream or some really strong cheese and a little too out-of-the-can-ish, but may very well have been homemade. I had the wild rice with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms (VERY small portion for $12). It tasted like wild rice with shrimp, onions, and mushrooms - nothing more - not special. Charged me $1.50 to add four small strips of bell pepper to the #8. Grrrr. Wife ordered catfish sandwich. Order was messed up and the waitress, who apparently wanted to impress us with her memory and not write down the order, blamed the mixup on the cook. She did, however, comp the sandwich. Wife said sandwich was "ok". Son had bacon cheeseburger. Had diarrhea before we left the place. Bathroom full of mosquitos and door wouldn't lock. Daughter had French Dip. Said it was "ok". read more

The food was great but took entirely too long for meals to be prepared. If I'm ever in the area again maybe I'll try to pre order :(
