The Kitchens Buffet and the Fry House, Southland Casino, West Memphis, AR

The Kitchens

MAP

The Kitchens is the buffet at the Southland Casino in West Memphis on Ingram Boulevard just off I-40. I went there for the first time a few weeks and was really impressed.

There were numerous food stations and a wide variety of food. On the weekends they have crab legs as well. The price isn't too bad, I think around $30 during the week which includes two alcoholic drinks if that's your thing. It is higher on the weekends but I don't know the price.

If you like buffets, this is a good one.

The Fry House, West Memphis - Home style fried food.

I went there also a few days earlier and it was very good also!

Lucky Dog Music Hall, Southaven, MS

Lucky Dog

MAP 

Lucky Dog is a relatively new bar and grill (and music hall) in Silo Square in Southaven off of Getwell Boulevard. I went there this past week for lunch.

I ordered a lobster roll with a side salad and an appetizer of Lucky Dog cheese fries. The fries and the salad were both really good. The lobster roll okay but I wasn't really that impressed. A friend was with me and he ordered gumbo and hot dog and he said his food was good.

I do recommend them I just won't get the lobster roll again. My total was around $42 or $43 which wasn't bad considering what I got.

Channy's

MAP 

Channy's is a brand new Japanese/Cambodian fusion restaurant in Horn Lake on Highway 51 a little north of Church Road. It's been open a week or so and already getting great reviews. I went there tonight and was really impressed!

I ordered Sushi Bento Box and also a Jalapeno popper appetizer and both were very good. The total including a drink before tip was only $34 which was very reasonably for the amount of food I got.

My friend ordered fried rice, a "crazy" roll" and egg rolls and he said his food was really good also.

I really liked and will be back.

Uncle Goyo's, Germantown, TN

Uncle Goyo's

MAP

Uncle Goyo's is a relatively new Mexican restaurant in Germantown on Germantown Road in the new center that is at Neshoba Road. The shops have their own parking but you have to pull in off Neshoba and then pull into the center's parking area.

I went there a few weeks ago for the first time and was really impressed. I ordered a chicken quesadilla nganas and I didn't really know what that meant but the waiter said it was a quesadilla that came with a soup for dipping. 

The prices were reasonable considering it's in a "fancy" new shopping center in Germantown. It was really good and I will definitely go back.

O'Charley's, Olive Branch, MS

O'Charley's

MAP 

O'Charley's is a well known chain restaurant and I normally don't review chains but this is the last one left in the area. I don't know why all the other locations closed but this one is still there.

I went there a few weeks ago while in the area and honestly, it was pretty good. I would go back. The prices are about the same as other similar chains like Chili's.

If you like O'Charley's I recommend this location.

I got the same thing I used to always get at the location in Memphis, chicken tenders, a potato, and a salad. I also got an order of fried mozzarella.

 

Memphis Best Soul Food, Memphis, TN

Memphis Best Soul Food

MAP 

Memphis Best is a cafe style restaurant on Third Street a little south of South Parkway East. I went there a few weeks ago for lunch.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I had heard good things about it but none of the food I got had much taste. It's possible I went on a bad day but that was just my experience. They were very busy so they seem to be popular and because of that I will try again one day.

I ordered baked chicken, mac and cheese, and black eyed peas.

The prices were decent for the amount of food I got though. If you give them try and have a different experience let me know.

 

Las Margarita's, West Memphis, AR

Las Margarita's

MAP 

Las Margarita's is a Mexican restaurant on Ingram Boulevard in West Memphis right by the Southland Casino. I went there a few nights ago.

It was decent but nothing spectacular. I had been to one of the other locations previously and thought it was great. This night I ordered chicken and rice. There was nothing wrong with it, it was just average.

The price was reasonable and I will go back and try it again.
