Pop's Deli, Memphis, TN

Pop's Deli

MAP 

Pop's is a small deli on Shelby Drive just east of Ross Road. I went there for the first time a few weeks ago and I've already been back a couple of times. The prices are really reasonable and the food and service are great! I highly recommend them! They are open until 9 most nights and 10 on the weekends.

I have had a lamb and beef gyro, a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, a hot dog, and a piece of cheesecake. I have spent around $20 each time.

Petals of a Peony is a Szechuan restaurant on Germantown Parkway just north of Cordova Road. I have been hearing great things about it for several months and finally got a chance to have lunch there a few weeks ago.

I don't remember the name of the dish but it was beef and broccoli and my friend and I also ordered spring rolls and some dumplings to split. The food was incredible and the prices were pretty reasonable. I think my total was around $20 or a little more.

I will definitely be back and I highly recommend it!

Hot Wangz

Hot Wangz is a relatively new wings restaurant in Southaven (they already had a location in Senatobia) in the strip mall behind the Exxon at Highway 51 and Stateline Road. We ordered from there the other night at work and I went there for lunch today.

The food was excellent and the service was too! The other night some of my coworkers ordered wings and I got a cheeseburger and I got a burger today too. It was really good and cooked just like I asked.

I recommend them and will definitely be back!

 

Taco Casa, Vicksburg, MS

Taco Casa

MAP 

Taco Casa is a small Mexican cafe in Vicksburg on Pemberton Square Boulevard just south of Interstate 20 west of Halls Ferry Road. I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago and stopped by for dinner on the way home.

The food was really and the prices were reasonable. The nachos were only about $6 and my total bill was only about $14 if I remember correctly. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Bartlett Breakfast Factory, Bartlett, TN

Bartlett Breakfast Factory

MAP 

Bartlett Breakfast Factory is a relatively new breakfast/lunch restaurant on Stage Road right at the corner of Mercury Street. It used to be Mama's Barbecue.

I went there about a week ago with a friend for the first time and was really impressed. The food and the service was excellent. The prices were reasonable for what I got, which was a basic breakfast place with pancakes, sausage, and eggs. The owners (I assume) were really nice.

I will definitely be back! There were several lunch items that sounded really good but I was there pretty early before their lunch hours.

Sippin' Silo, Southaven, MS

Sippin' Silo

Sippin' Silo is a new wine bar in Southaven in the Silo Square complex. I'm not much for wine myself but I saw they had cheese and a regular menu as well. I went there a few weeks ago and I really liked it.

I ordered a charcuterie board and a ham sandwich. I don't remember the exact total but for what I got it was very reasonable, especially considering the location. Some restaurants in Silo Square seem to be unnecessarily expensive.

I will definitely be back. It seems to be a popular location.

 

Other recent trips:

Fuddrucker's, Tunica, MS - nachos, my friend got a burger and fish.

Georgia Blue, Southaven, MS

Georgia Blue

MAP 

Georgia Blue is a new restaurant in the Southaven Silo Square. I went there a couple of weeks ago and frankly, I wasn't impressed. It wasn't cheap, which is not surprising considering the location, and the food was mediocre.

I ordered an appetizer of queso and it had zero taste, and it was $10. My main entree was chicken Parmesan and it was okay but nothing great. The salad was also okay but to be fair the dressing was pretty good.

Also, the tea was terrible so I asked if I could exchange it for a Diet Coke and was charged for both drinks. The service was also fairly slow and they were not very busy.

My total was something around $60 and for what I got and the quality it was not worth it. I've heard some people say the food was good there but I've heard several people say they had an experience similar to mine. 

Sorry Georgia Blue, I was not impressed.
