A&R Barbecue, Memphis, TN

A&R Barbecue

MAP 

A&R is a small barbecue restaurant in the shopping center at the corner of Hickory Hill Road and Winchester Road in the south end of the shopping center across the street from Big Daddy's Pawn Shop. They used to have another location but apparently it's no longer there. I can't find it listed on their website any more. 

I went to the other location which was on Elvis Presley Boulevard about four years ago and it was some of the best barbecue I had ever eaten.

The barbecue tonight was great. I got the spicy and it was perfect. It wasn't so hot that it didn't have taste but it was just hot enough to kick. To be honest, the fries were a little soggy but they tasted good and the onion rings were good. The service was good as well.

The total for a pork place and a drink was right at $20 which was pretty decent for the amount of food I got. I will definitely be back.

Los Cabos is a relatively new Mexican restaurant in Southaven on Goodman Road at Malone Road behind the Taco Bell. They also have one or two locations in Memphis. I went there last week to try it and have already been back again.

The food was great and prices are pretty reasonable, especially for their queso.

The first time I ordered a chicken and rice dish and an appetizer of Choriqueso and tonight I ordered a Quesadilla Mexicana and the Choriqueso again. Everything was really good and the service was great as well.

I will definitely be back.

Pita Mediterranean Grill, Southaven, MS

Pita Mediterranean

MAP 

Pita is a new Mediterranean restaurant on Goodman Road at Malone Road behind the Taco Bell. I went there a few days ago for dinner. It was pretty good. Honestly I like Happy Greek in Memphis better but Pita was good. I was a little surprised that it was better because it's been getting rave reviews.

Anyway, I will still go back, I just didn't like it as much as Happy Greek.

I ordered the Lamb and Beef Gyro platter and it came with plenty of food. I was a little surprised that it only came with one piece of pita bread since there was plenty of meat plus quite a bit of hummus. Next time I will ask for a second piece of bread.

I don't remember the exact prices but it was reasonable for what I got.

I do recommended if you like Mediterranean food and like I said, I will definitely go back.

Capital Mexican is a new Mexican restaurant in Southaven at the corner of Church Road and Elmore behind the Autozone. It used to be Santa Rosa but they closed and this new restaurant opened in their slot.

I went there last week for the first time and it was really good. I ordered the Pollo Fundido. The prices were about the same as most other similar restaurants and the service was very good. I will definitely be back again.

Los Comales

MAP 

Los Comales is a Mexican restaurant with two location in the area. I went to the location on Perkins Road a few weeks which is on Perkins a little south of American Way.

A friend of mine suggested it for lunch before a band rehearsal Sunday a few weeks ago. I had been there before but it had been a number of years back when I worked in that area.

The food was really good. I don't remember the exact price but it was comparable to most other Mexican restaurants that I've been to.

I ordered a chicken quesadilla and thought it was really good. Their queso and salsa was good also.

 

Dyer's Burgers, Downtown Memphis - burger and fries combo

I've posted about Dyer's in Collierville a few times. The burgers are okay but I honestly don't think they are as good as they used to.

The Flying Saucer is a beer garden and grill in Cordova on Germantown Parkway a little north of Cordova Road on the east side. I went there last week for the first and it was so good I went back a couple of days later and then again a few days later.

The first night I ordered fish and chips with a salad and the next time I ordered the Jaberwock burger. A friend of mine and I were in that area that next Sunday and I ordered the Jaberwock burger again. The fish and chips entree was so large it was enough for two full meals.

Everything was really good. I don't really remember the prices but they were about average for a popular night spot. I will definitely be back.

Rock'n Dough is a pizza cafe with a couple of locations. I went to the location in Germantown on Poplar Avenue a little east of South Germantown Road a few days ago for lunch.

I ordered the Blues Burger with bleu cheese and balsamic reduction with a side salad instead of fries and it was great. I also ordered a side of cheese sticks with marinara sauce which were also very good.

The prices were about average. With a drink the total was about $29. I will definitely be back.
