Bardog

MAP

Bardog is a bar and grill on Monroe Avenue basically at the corner of Monroe and Center Lane in downtown Memphis. I went there last week and based on a review I saw on the internet, I order spaghetti and it was really good.

The price was pretty reasonable and the service was great. My total including a side salad, drink, and tax was about $22.00.

I will definitely be back soon!

As a side note, they do card everybody as least at night or on the weekends so take your ID.

Mitchell's Breakfast Burrito's, Memphis, TN

Mitchell's

MAP

I've reviewed Mitchell's a few times but they now have a new location in downtown Memphis on Main Street at the corner of Pontotoc Avenue in the same building as the Rum Boogie Cafe. I went there a couple of weeks ago and it was just as good as the location in West Memphis.

They have a few new items on their menu and I got the Kay's Three Alarm Burrito and a chicken quesadilla and both were great! I highly recommend trying them. They also get good reviews from a couple of other reviewers that I follow!

Ragin' Cajun, Bartlett, TN

Ragin' Cajun is which I think is a relatively new restaurant in Bartlett on Bartlett Road and Sycamore View Road right across from the softball and soccer fields. I went there a few days ago thinking it was a Mexican restaurant named El Idolo but I didn't realize that had closed. El Idolo moved not too far away but reopened under the name Lopez Grill (and it is great, I reviewed it previously but didn't realize it was the same owner).

I ordered Cajun chicken pasta and a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo and everything was really good. The prices were reasonable. I think my total including a drink and tax was around $30.

I will definitely go back and I recommend trying them!

Yaki Bowl, Bartlett, TN

Yaki Bowl

Yaki Bowl is a relatively new stir fry restaurant in Bartlett on Stage Road just east of Bartlett Boulevard where O'Charley's used to be. I went there this past week for dinner and was very impressed. I didn't get a stir fry bowl because I wasn't all that hungry but opted for General Tso's Chicken from the Chinese menu.

The prices were reasonable and there was plenty of food and I thought it was very good. The service was also really good.

My friend did get a bowl and said it was very good as well. I definitely recommend them.






The Bar-B-Q Shop, Memphis, TN

The Bar-B-Q Shop

The Bar-B-Q Shop is a long time Memphis restaurant on Madison Avenue a little east of North Belvedere Road. I had never been there before and went for the first time last week and must say, I was impressed. I like barbecue but it's not one of my favorite foods so I don't order it very often.

The barbecue sandwich at this place was really good. I've heard good things about their barbecue spaghetti also but forget to order that. I'll try it next time.

The prices were decent. I don't remember exactly but for everything I got the total was a little over $20 from what I recall. The service was also very good.

I definitely recommend them if you like barbecue.

Las Maria's Modern Mexican Kitchen, Horn Lake, MS

Maria's Mexican Kitchen

MAP

Maria's is a new Mexican restaurant in Horn Lake on Goodman Road a little east of Tulane Road. I went there a few days ago for dinner.

The food was good but unfortunately I didn't get exactly what I asked for. I ordered a chicken quesadilla but they brought me a cheese quesadilla. They did charge me the cheaper price for the cheese quesadilla so I don't have any real complaints, it just wasn't what I wanted.

I will definitely go back and try the chicken one next time!

The prices were reasonable for what I got. The total was just over $16 including everything including a couple of dollars for a tip so I was pleased with the price.
