“ I was on vacation and visiting the Graceland Mansion. We wanted an authentic southern dining experience and found reviews for this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Other's described as cooking like a family member would serve and this was exactly what we thought too. We entered and got in line that leads to the counter. Different main dishes are changed each day. I picked smothered pork chops and my husband got a fried breaded chop. Our sides were yams, greens, macaroni and beans. We loved the sides. The gravy on my chop was too die for. The cornbread muffins were heavy and dense, flavorful. I would definitely recommend. The seating is basic. The restaurant was full of locals, and families that looked to be regulars. The staff was very nice and welcoming. ”
“ Stopped there for lunch after visiting Graceland. What a find, incredibly delicious soul food home cooking. Long line confirmed for us that the food was going to be good. While the restaurant was very hot inside, the great food and warm hospitality from all the staff made it worthwhile. ”
“ The only soul food better than this restaurant was my mother's Sunday dinner. This restaurant is always packed with a line around the corner! When you have the food you understand why people are willing to wait! Everything here is good!! The ribs are fall off the bone tender, the chicken is crispy, the dressing tastes just like my mom's! I NEVER order dressing at restaurants because I'm usually disappointed, however the first time I took a chance and ordered thiers I was delighted!! It was seasoned,moist, not too dense, not greasy or overcooked. The line moves fast too! So b even though you have to wait you will be satisfied no matter what you order. The portion sizes are very generous and the prices are reasonable. My only criticism is the ran out of strawberry cake before I could grab some! ”
“ An amazing meal. Everything i tried was fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly service. Fair priced. Best porkchops i have had in many years. It's not fancy, but going for the food. Also super fast as food is already made. ”
“ 10/10. Food is DELICIOUS. We spent our Summer Vacation in Tennesse and ate at 3 different "soul food" spots before finding this GEM. None of them came even close. Memphis is where its at when it comes to smothered porkchops and green beans. Thank you Veronica for the Hospitality! We will be back! P.S. SWEET TEA IS ”
