"Great great hidden gem! Well cooked meals with lots of seasoning and huge portions. Their logger is excellent everyone enjoyed it. We all had different things. There was a group of 6 of us eating took about an hour. The waitress was running! She was so sweet and the place was just really fun to hang out in. I had a salad, catfish was excellent and the Cajun Alfredo looked bomb! I’d recommend stopping here for an amazing and cheap meal!!!"

"So good!! Glad we stopped here on our Memphis trip. It's clear there was a lot of love put into this place, not only in the environment but in the food. We tried the Mac and cheese bites, and they were the best I've ever had. I then had the marinated chicken sandwich and split the hot fudge pie (of course!). Everything was splendid and servers were so kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

"This bar is owned by JAKE! Jake's family started goldcrest brewery and owns this hidden gem of a bar restaurant. I enjoyed meeting him and his bartender Robbie. So much history here and the food is wonderful. I enjoyed the catfish basket and loved it. Don't second guess visit here."
