Disappointing Experience
I ordered to go from Soul Fish on Cooper and specifically asked for my meal to be dropped fresh. I was told it always is, but that clearly wasn’t the case. The whole catfish tasted old, and the peas and okra were not properly cooked or fresh.
I spent $42 and still had to cook dinner for my family. See pictures. Would not recommend based on this experience.

First time eating here. Friendly service, fair prices, good portions, and great taste. Definitely will make another stop here in the future.

Cute cafe about 3 miles from downtown Memphis, with indoor and outdoor seating. A lot of locals eat here. I ordered the catfish and shrimp platter, fried pickles, fried okra, blackened salmon, and coleslaw. Pros: Food was really good. Shrimp was very flavorful, nice coating. Okra good, blackened salmon, coleslaw and cornbread were my favorite. Cons: the dipping sauce didn’t quite measure up to some of the other restaurants in terms of flavor. They offer vegetable based sides but most were cooked in pork or turkey broth which isn’t accommodating if you are vegetarian. Other than that, this restaurant was a really good experience.

Wings – hot damn, those wings!!!
Yes, I went to a fish place and ordered wings. I thought we were going to split them as an appetizer but they were a bit too spicy for everyone but me. That’s not to say they were THAT spicy but they did have a really deep spiciness that brought a huge helping of flavor along with the heat. Juicy chicken, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Served piping hot and definitely a don’t-miss if you find yourself at this restaurant.
Hush puppies are not my cup of tea but seemed to be pretty good.
Fried oysters sounded better to Allison S than they were in real life so I wound up with them. As deep fried oysters go these were pretty good. Not overly breaded and crispy on the outside while still a bit gooey on the inside.
Cakes for dessert from a local bakery were pretty good. I had the caramel and it was lighter in color than expected but still very flavorful. Chocolate cake was even better. Still, the star of the show for me was definitely the wings. Hot damn!

Went in on a Sunday night for dinner. Was able to be seated quickly at a table. They are a bit small on the table size so when the food arrives it’s a little crammed with 4 people at one table. We ordered hush puppies and fried pickle chips to start. Hush puppies were a bit dry and the fried pickles were a bit soggy and the batter was a bit too light on. The soup of the day was gumbo and it was good. We ordered catfish tacos and then a catfish and shrimp plate. All were really great, e tortillas for the tacos a freshly cooked and soft. The fried okra was the best thing in the menu! For 4 people with sodas for drinks it was $105. Was worth it, I enjoyed the food and the service was excellent.

Classic Southern food. Everything taste how it suppose to from what I did eat. One order from my table was sent back twice and still was visibly burned. Management did take care of it. Service was decent no real problems. And the atmosphere was that of a diner. All in all it was good enough for me to eat there again!

Stopped by to grab a quick bite to eat before a volleyball tournament.
Buffalo shrimp mild were really good! We should have ordered 2! Fried perfectly.
Blackened chicken Caesar salad had some great flavor. They didn’t skimp on that seasoning for the chicken!
Blackened mahi sandwich (daily special) great flavor just needed some kind of spicy remoulade sauce to tie it all together. Bun was not able to hold up to the juicy piece of fish. Maybe french bread toasted would be better suited.
Shrimp po boy disappeared before I could get a bite! So assuming it was good!
Sweet tea was amazing! One of the best I have had.

Visiting Memphis, I always stop here! Catfish filet entree cant go wrong. Plenty of side dish selections that are equally good. Service is spot on also.

I rarely eat fried fish anymore, but when I’m back in the hometown, this is one of the places I have to always visit. The service is always a reminder of the peaks of Southern Hospitality. The food comes at fresh and surprisingly fast. While also being expertly seasoned. And there’s other options besides fried fish….even vegetarian options. But it’s the regular catfish plate with a sweet tea/lemonade mix every time for me. Maybe I’ll try something different next time.

Food was good. I had the catfish plate (regular /3 piece) with Mac n cheese and green beans. The catfish was light and seasoned well,Mac n cheese reminded me of Cracker Barrel’s Mac n cheese and the green beans i liked as well. Service was fast and staff seems nice. Atmosphere was open concept and mixed crowd of people from young to old, diverse crowd. I was able to take the plastic cup as well .I would come back.
