Russell's Beef House, Corinth, MS

Russell's Beef House

MAP 

I was Corinth a few days ago and stopped by Russell's Beef House for dinner. I had been there once before but it had been over 30 years ago. It's located on Highway 72 basically at the corner of Fulton Drive.

I ordered a filet with a salad and baked potato. I don't like to give bad reviews but in an effort to be honest, I wasn't impressed. The filet had very little taste and had a lot of gristle in it and I had to put a lot of steak sauce on it. The salad was decent the potato was fine.

The service was pretty good and the prices were decent. My total including tax and a drink was just under $40. Honestly if I go back I will try something else besides a steak.

Boscoe's

Boscoe's is a brewery and restaurant on Madison Avenue on Overton Square, just west of Cooper Street, across the street for Lafayette's. I went there last week for lunch.

I ordered a burger and fries and both were pretty good and the service was good. The total a drink and tax was right at $20. I will definitely go back.

There is limited parking in the area so you may have to park on the lot behind it or across the way in the paid parking garage. I got lucky because I was there early and got a spot on the street.

Mediterraean Grocery, Memphis, TN

Mediterranean Grocery

Mediterranean Grocery is a grocery with a restaurant on Park Avenue just east of Highland Avenue. I went there a few days ago to try a goat dish (yes that's right, goat) that a friend recommended but was told they don't have it any more.

I ordered Manchurian Chicken which was good but to be honest, I wasn't that impressed. I sat there a long time before anyone said anything to me and apparently it's strictly a serve yourself, order at the register kind of place but nobody told me that.

Also, it was a little pricey I thought for what I got, even though it did taste pretty good. The one relatively small bowl of chicken was $20 and that didn't include anything but the bowl of chicken. I will probably go back some other time and try something different but for now I'll stick with some of the other places like the Israel Grocery on Summer Avenue.

Hunan Buffet. Olive Branch, MS

Hunan Buffet

MAP 

Hunan is a Chinese/Sushi buffet in Olive Branch on Goodman Road in the same shopping center as the Kroger. I went there last week with a friend before going to see the new Indiana Jones movie (which was really good).

I thought the buffet was good. It isn't necessarily better than some other buffets I've been to but it was definitely good. The price was about $17 with a 10 percent discount (I had a coupon but I think they will give you the discount if you just ask). The service was great and they had plenty of choices.

I will definitely go back!
