Visited Esco Memphis for the first time 1/13/2026 and loved it!!! Nice atmosphere and the GUMBO!!! YUM!!! I can’t say enough about the taste of the gumbo so you must try it yourself! Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient which made our experience even better. One of the highlights of the night was tasting a dessert I have dubbed the Strawberry Shortcake Extravaganza!!! It was like getting a beautiful creation “from scratch” straight from the kitchen and the taste was a treat for your tastebuds! Thank you to Patrick, Esco Memphis manager, for the recommendation. Great dining experience! P.s. Sorry no pic of gumbo, it went so fast

This place was amazing! The food was amazing! Chef P stopped by to chat with us! We shared how we thoroughly enjoyed the food! The manager stopped by as well to chat! Our server, Tammy, was amazing as well! The only gripe was when we walked in, the young lady grabbed our menus, took us to our table, dropped the menus in a stack and left. I will definitely come back.

OMGeeeezzz…amazing food and everyone’s so nice and friendly. Fries, salmon chips and shrimp we to die for and the “We be Jammin” was . Great happy hour prices (50% off most). Catfish and Beale St corn were good as well!

The food was great! The service was just okay. There was only one waitress for the entire restaurant, so I’m sure she was overwhelmed. I asked about a side item and she became frustrated not being able to answer the question. The floor was sticky, and the table we were seated at was dirty. There’s so much more management can do to make this place better. But the food was .

My fiancée and I came here for brunch, and unfortunately it was one of the worst brunch experiences we’ve ever had. The vibe was more like a nightclub than a brunch spot — the floors were sticky, and there was no coffee or brunch cocktail menu. We had to order off-menu just to get a “regular” Bloody Mary, and it was awful. Sweet, like someone added sugar or artificial sweetener. We both took one sip and couldn’t drink it. Easily the worst Bloody Mary I’ve ever had.
The food was much better. I had the catfish and grits, which were very good, and my partner had the gumbo, which was also solid. But the service was terrible. Our server, Crystal, didn’t check on us for at least 20 minutes after bringing the food. When we finished eating, we sat there trying to flag her down for the check with no luck. I eventually had to get up and ask for it, and even then it took another 5 minutes before she came back.
On top of all that, they added a random $12 fee to the bill, so two entrees, a side of corn, and one bad Bloody Mary ended up costing $80.
This place might be fine as a late-night bar, but for brunch it was a total miss. Between the sticky floors, awful drinks, nonexistent service, and hidden fees, I honestly have no idea how this place has 4.7 stars. Definitely would not recommend for brunch.

A Vibe Worth Waiting For (Just Bring a Fan!)
My recent visit was a delightful experience, though it definitely comes with a few caveats. Located in a decent area, this spot clearly understands the importance of a good atmosphere and even better food. I’d highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you’re planning for peak hours, as the wait times can stretch.
Once seated, the positives really start to shine. The dining area was clean, creating a pleasant and comfortable environment. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was well-prepared and flavorful, leaving us eager for the next bite. The drinks were equally impressive – creative, well-balanced, and truly “yummy.”
Now for those caveats: The wait times are indeed long, which can be a bit challenging, especially if you’re famished. Furthermore, it can get a tad hot, so do yourself a favor and bring a small fan. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!
Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall experience was overwhelmingly positive. The in-house DJ deserves a special shout-out; their music selection truly helped the time pass enjoyably and kept the “Good Vibes” flowing. Speaking of which, our server was incredibly sweet and attentive, adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
In summary, if you’re looking for delicious food, great drinks, and a lively atmosphere in a good location, this is your spot. Just be prepared for a wait and remember that personal fan – it’ll make all the difference!

Probably unexpected from a 50 year old white woman, but this restaurant is a total vibe and the food isn’t just good, it’s outstanding. We had the whole wings (crispy, juicy, seasoned perfectly), gumbo (I sighed with happy relief on the first bite- excellent deep color and plenty of okra), oysters Rockefeller (made me dance a little in my chair), the Rockafella Chicken (moist and tender), collards (smoky and done just right), seafood mac n cheese (un-freaking-believeable), and strawberry shortcake (perfect ending). Seriously, I will come back to Memphis just to try more items on the ESCO menu.
Service? Oh Sherrell had this *handled.* She never missed a cue, made helpful suggestions and delivered the experience with professionalism and friendly conversation, even after my husband’s 6th sangria (which he said was “amazing,” although after the 5th one, I think he made his point). Courtney stopped by our table, too, offering bar wisdom with a little relationship lore on the side. We were taken care of, start to finish!
Highly recommend. Enjoy the giant screen 90s-00s hip hop in the speakers- Playlist taking me BACK while the menu making my back BIG.
ALL THE STARS! Thank you!

My friend and I stopped here on a roadtrip, he picked it because of the high reviews and while he didn’t realize we were headed to a hookah bar so that was a surprise (our fault we glanced at the menu and that was it). So it was a bit loud for us just having a quick dinner but again, our fault, had I been in a hookah bar mode this would be perfect.
Food was absolutely fantastic. I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken it was delicious, and it was served in a very large martini glass. Service was great, and timed well. Everyone was dressed stylish from staff to patrons (except us, ha.). Highly recommend checking this place out.
