While looking for good southern cooking in Orange County, we came across an ad for Memphis and thought we would give it a try. The Gumbo had good flavor, but too much cayene pepper and they used way to much garlic in my little salad. Service was barely adequate and the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. I can't figure... more

I love going to Memphis for both the food and the atmosphere.

Cool, 50's vibe, casual dining - patio is best. Awesome steaks, salads, comfort foods with a twist, not so keen on the cold cornbread, but that's the only downer here. Just a great place with really good food to eat & enjoy the crowd. more
