Memphis' menu is more Southern-inspired than authentic Southern, but appetizers alone go well with cocktails. Start with Zuni frybread--a down-home pizza made of cornmeal and topped with roasted poblanos peppers, corn, jack cheese and creamy pesto sauce--or crispy Southern crab cakes with smoky tomato sauce.

Come by on any given friday night or saturday night....... and it's totally different experience.... good "house" music.... great crowd everyone is friendly not everyone is pretty but there to have a good time.... if you drink and dance this is good spot once or twice a month... some regulars some new faces...
- Pros: Music, people

ok after hours but never go for food or service
by dtashman
i went there for brunch once and it took our waitress 15 minutes to take a drink order, then my 5oz glass of oj came out five minutes after my girlfriends. and then our meals came out separately as well. not only that but our waitress was this awful red head who made us feel as though we were wasting her time. after we ate we went to sit at the bar because we thought it might be quicker to get cocktails, our bartender was awful. she poored really weak drinks and had the nastiest attitude. i've been there for the night life scene and the music is good and there are some cool people but never ever eat there, every waitress is angry and unattractive and they can't seem to do their jobs properly.
- Pros: good after hours
- Cons: service
