    Hard to miss this corner establishment close to the convention center.looks like this place has been here for 41 years Place is clean and laid back. I was seated quickly. Ordered a bowl of seafood gumbo, 13.50$. It's was ok. Tasted more like dark tomato bisque with rice. Plenty of shrimps.

    Food and bugs

    The food and service were great, but unfortunately the bug issue completely ruined the experience for me. I was literally fighting bugs the entire time just trying to eat my food. I had to keep fanning my plate the whole visit, which was really disappointing because I was so excited to enjoy my meal. I truly believe this could be improved with bleach water and deep cleaning around the booths, walls, and dining areas. Something as simple as properly wiping everything down could make a huge difference. I hate to leave disappointed because the food itself was actually good.

    This was the first restaurant I tried in Memphis, and it surprised me a lot. They were quick to take our order and also to bring it to us. I tried the wild rice bowl with marinated chicken. It was amazing. The rice was delicious and the chicken juicy and well seasoned. I also ordered one local IPA beer, the Soul & Spirits Hoochie Coochie. It was perfect! The food came with bread that was warm was very tasty. The only thing I didn't like a lot was that it was leaking from the ceiling. Besides that, the food was great!

    I think the rating is accurate. This was a late night food option available and suggested by the hotel front desk person. I ordered delivery online from their website. The website pic is not a good reflection of what the boom boom shrimp looks like. The sauce was all good, but I expected something different.

    This is a cool spot to get a bite to eat! I stop in before an event I was attending and they took care of our to go orders pretty quickly. I had the fried green tomatoes and fried fish. It was really good and filling. I am glad that I came across this eatery and I look forward to going back.

    This is my first time in Memphis, and this was my first restaurant in Memphis. So far, I'm not impressed. I came here because it is close to the hotel, serves fish, and I don't have a car. Let me just warn you that the neighborhood is a bit rough looking. There's a lot of construction going on, but it generally just looks creepy and deserted. But anyway, back to the restaurant. My server, Barbara, was pleasant. She tended to me immediately, took my order and checked on me. I ordered the grilled salmon with the side salad and fries. She brought the salad first, but it had cheese on it so I told her I don't eat dairy or egg. So she took it back. When she returned, it was the same salad, but appeared as though someone had handpicked the cheese off. You can still see small pieces of cheese on the salad in the photo. Clearly, this establishment does not take food restrictions seriously. But also, did someone put their dirty, unwashed hands in my salad??? Lord I hope not. But I'll never know... The salad was fine. I had it with Italian dressing. But the more I ate it, the more I imagine eating tiny drops of Covid particles from someone's unwashed hands. So I had to stop and let that go. The salmon wasn't grilled. It was more pan seared. It was under seasoned but definitely edible. The fries were great but it was a small amount. I didn't want the rice, but it was actually the most flavorful part of the meal! I didn't eat the random tomato on the plate because it had cheese on it... The power went out in the whole establishment for about 10 seconds. Needless to say, I won't be back.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

    We had an outstanding dinner at Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar for our lovely Saturday evening August…read more15,. Our server Catelyn was fantastic-positive, friendly, eager to accommodate special requests and helpful in pairing wines. We loved the creative approach of ordering flights of both wine and food! The Boursin stuffed filet, sea bass, Ribeye, Au gratin potatoes, oyster topped deviled eggs were prepared perfectly and especially memorable. We love sitting in the booth by the window on the lively main floor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, upscale dining experience in downtown Memphis!"

    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.

With the invited experience the food was hot and fresh because we are featured guest. However, even with food togo there is a reasonable hottness that stays with fresh cooked food. I ordered a Cobb salad with fried chicken and a burger with wedge fries at a lil after 5:00p and text to pick up was 5:21p. I was there to pick up at 5:28p. I walked in and stood in the entrance, near make shift board hostess stand, not sure but to my left was a hostess counting money, a guy at a kiosk eating with an apron on and the busy bartender. The hostess saw me, smiled and finished talking with guy at kiosk, they talk briefly until he sees me then walks over. I grab the order and feel no warmth. I figure the buger on top of salad maybe but nope, sure enough I get home and it's old and the fried chicken on the cobb salad is frozen. It was dried out and reheated. The amount of blue cheese was insane the lettuce was not fresh. The cheese on the burger was two different colors, the toppings looked old as well. $45 for a salad and burger, trying to support our local spots and the inconsistency is appalling. The burger was so good and fresh at the invited event only for me to remember it, and want to go back months later. The I pay my hard earned money, use my expensive gas to drive from East Memphis to Downtown and get a frozen breaded chicken patty on a salad and an old burger. If my feelings ain't deeply hurt because why are you not cooking real chicken breast?
