The food and service was excellent. Their pecan pie taste homemade. If you go i strongly suggest you try the half fried half sauted crab claws, but they do only serve them on certain days so call a head and dont be rude if they dont have them.

Great place to visit and have family time.Recommended place to visit while in Memphis .Improvements needed - please have a place for folks to sit and relax and arrange for water and shade. The temp goes up to 95-100 ,So if you want to folks to spend time give them proper environment

Love neighborhoods like this! Vacationing in Memphis for our honeymoon and my drummer husband had stopping by the Memphis Drum Shop on his bucket list. Then walked down to Bluff City Coffee & Bakery. Already planning to come back to visit more shops (and revisit the café) in the next day or so.

Absolutely gorgeous, jaw-dropping architecture! Ive never seen anything like it. I honestly cant find the right words to describe the beauty of these buildings. Youll discover that Cooper Young has its own vibe entirely just as Downtown and other areas do. So much to see and do in this area! Great area to visit free of charge. Many options for outside activities and events. Diverse, trendy, health and wellness, and environment-friendly focused area.

This place has a great outdoor patio! Margaritas where delicious. We had the lobster stuffed chili relleno....OMG...a must order and the fried avocado. It was probably the best one I have had before. We will go back if we are in Memphis again!!

Fine neighborhood comprised of good hard working people. Many great shops and restaurants, churches, schools and community organizations. Check out the farmers market on Saturdays (spring through summer)in the parking lot of First Congratulational Church. The variety of wonderful restaurants should cover most taste buds. Dont miss Burkes Book Store, the best in Memphis.

Great area to explore on a nice evening. Good food at several places and good variety. Several places to get drinks. Casual laid back would recommend Young Avenue Deli and if youre looking for a classier experience check out Alchemy.

Fabulous area located in midtown extremely historical area with large old fashioned houses ranging back to the 1800s, nice built up areas as well like the area on Madison st. Which features a European scene with pubs or bars with nice patio areas outside in a area called the triangle, beautiful movie theater and a parking garage that looks like new. A beautiful up to date dancing facility which has people coming from all over the country and the world to participate right on the corner of Madison and cooper a real magnificent site to see. The Memphis Zoo is literally just down the st. Which is surrounded by the ever popular Overton Park which has the Arts Museum on it, and not very far away is the pink palace museum along with the fabulous University of Memphis College and the Liberty Bowl which has a beautiful park of lights at dusk and it gets prettier when it gets darker, there is a new YMCA right in the same block with restaurant and other small parks within the same area, an extremely wide variety of things to do travel East and West on union and the sky is the limit. Travel west and you will head towards downtown to the most western part if TN, but be careful or you will find yourself crossing the MS and right into AR, yes just that close, lol lol.

The kids took us to dinner. It is nice but not for us seniors. There is very little parking, had to walk a long way to get to the restaurant. The streets are narrow with cars parked on both sides, no room to drive 2 cars on the street. We dont plan on going back. There are so many other places to eat. The food was small portioned and over priced. No thanks Ill stay at home.
