Soul Fish Cafe,

4720 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN 38117

"I consider myself to be a catfish connoisseur, and can say with confidence that this is some of the best catfish I’ve ever had. Pros of this meal include: flavorful tartar sauce (traditional taste, with an oniony kick), flavorful coleslaw (fresh, delicately balanced between crisp and creamy), and the fish, which was served hot, fried to perfection, moist, soft, and FRESH. Some drawbacks: The fries and hush puppies were good, but my experience was diminished by the way that parts of both were soaked in oil. Hotter grease or a little bit of hang time after being pulled up would probably fix this. I was given one napkin for a meal that was made to be eaten with my hands. There were no napkins on the table. And finally, the price: I’d pay it again, but I’ve gotten similar food for cheaper elsewhere. And something different: don’t expect Tabasco or Louisiana hot sauce on the table—this establishment offers a house hot sauce. And it was quite good. Overall, I rate it a 4.3/5. I intend to return."

"I had grilled blackened catfish. It was delicious. It comes with a side and cornbread/bread. There were free refills on soda. The soda came in a plastic cup that had their name and locations on it. All of that is to say that it is a very casual restaurant. The wait staff was very chill and down to earth. It was just a warm and inviting experience. Come as you are, and you will fit in."

"Here visiting family, every family had the same idea, tired of holiday food, decided to come out. This location was pretty busy, and Hannah was our server and gave great service. We had the Buffalo shrimp for an appetizer. Just a heads up, it came with fries and lots of shrimp, so that is a meal in itself. We had the blackened salmon with broccoli and baked pork chops with black-eyed peas and cornbread. Both were pretty good. We will come again."

"Excellent local Memphis restaurant offering casual Southern fare at its finest. With locations in East Memphis, Cooper-Young, Germantown and Cordova, it’s convenient to wherever you live in the Greater Memphis Area!"
