Sushi Kingdom, Memphis, TN

Sushi Kingdom

MAP 

Sushi Kingdom is a new sushi restaurant on Park Avenue just east of Mount Moriah, in the front edge of the Eastgate shopping center. I went there tonight for dinner.

They are a little pricier than the place in Southaven where I usually go but to be honest the food was better overall. The total was about $26 including a 20 percent discount which is offered during the week if you show them the coupon on their Facebook page. I'm unsure if that is a grand opening special or if it's going to be normal.

I ordered several different rolls and two appetizers and they were all good and the service was very good as well.

I highly recommend it!

 

Mexico Grill, Southaven, MS

Mexico Grill

MAP

Mexico Grill is a new Mexican restaurant in Southaven on Goodman Road at the corner of Elmore. They have several locations, including one in Tunica, MS which I have also been to.

The food was really good and the prices were about the same as other Mexican places. I really like the one in Tunica but this one will be much more convenient since it's right down the street from my house.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla and I really liked it. I will definitely be back!

 

Ron's Family Affair, West Memphis, AR

MAP

Ron's is a small cafeteria style restaurant in West Memphis on North Missouri Street just south of I-40. I went there last week for a quick lunch. It was really good and reasonably inexpensive. I think my total was $15 including two canned drinks. I got three pieces of chicken and two generous helpings of side items which were mac and cheese and mashed potatoes.

The service was really good even though it was cafeteria style. One of the ladies brought my drink to the table and the cashier made sure my drink was filled.

I will definitely be back!

La Carnita Asada, Memphis, TN

La Carnita

MAP

La Carnita is a small Mexican cafe on Winchester Road just west of Goodlett Street. I went there about a week ago for lunch based on a suggestion of a friend. It turns out I had been there before but it used to be called something else so I chose to do a new entry for it.

I ordered something really simple because I wasn't all that hungry. I got rice and chicken, and it was really good! I don't remember the price but it was very reasonable.

I will definitely be back and I highly recommend it.

Silver Caboose is a small restaurant and soda fountain on the north side of the square in Collierville. I went there a couple of Sundays ago with a friend. The food was great and so was the service. I ordered a club sandwich with a salad and my friend and I split an order of cheese sticks and jalapeno poppers. I don't remember the exact total but it was around $30 including a tip which was very reasonable for what I got.

They are only open limited hours so be sure to check before you go. I will definitely be back!

MAP 

Bobby's is a home cooking cafeteria in the shopping center near the corner of West Markham Street and North Shackleford Road just west of I-440. I went there a couple of days ago while in Little Rock. It was really good and pretty inexpensive.

I got country fried steak, beans, and mashed potatoes. My total was around $13 for an entree and two sides with a drink and it was plenty of food. The service was good (although it's cafe style, they don't come to your table) but no tip was ever asked for.

Also, they are CCW friendly if that's of any interest to you. I will definitely go back.

Cravin' Catfish is a seafood buffet in Sherman, MS on Cemetery Lane, just north of Highway 178. I went there two weekends ago with a friend on recommendation from another friend.

It was pretty good and the price was very reasonable for a buffet. The total was $17.58 before tip including a drink (drinks are included with the price). They stay pretty busy and they are only open a few days per week so be sure to check their hours.

I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Bog and Barley is an Irish pub in the Regalia Shopping Center at the corner of Poplar Avenue and Shady Grove Road in the same lot as Ruth's Chris. I was next door to it running an errand and stopped in for lunch.

I ordered bangers and mash which is sausages on top of mashed potatoes. I had that same dish for the first time a few months ago at a place in Collierville and it wasn't really very good. Today it was really good.

It included green peas and house made mustard. Also, kind of randomly, the Diet Coke tasted really good. It wasn't watered down and had a lot of flavor.

The price wasn't bad for what I got. The total was under $30 for before a tip. I will definitely be back!

Locke's Fish and Steak

MAP

Locke's is a seafood and steakhouse on Highway 315 just a little east I-55 in Sardis. I wen there last weekend, originally intending on going to Sardis Steak and Seafood which was on Main Street. Apparently this is the new location with new owners.

The food was very good and the prices were reasonable for what I got. My total before a tip was right at $50 but that was for a steak dinner, an appetizer, and a drink.

The steak was very good. I had been to a steakhouse in Corinth the week before and wasn't impressed and was in the mood for a good steak. The service was fantastic. I will definitely be back!

Habee's is a wings and sandwich shop on Summer Avenue at the corner of Freeman Street, just a little east of Highland Avenue.

I went there a couple of weeks while in Memphis for an appointment. Wings usually aren't my thing unless I'm in the mood for them specifically so I got a burger and fries. Both were very good and the services was great.

The total before a tip was right at $10 which was reasonable for what I got. Next time I will try the wings. I've been told they are very good by several people.
