Eggxactly, Memphis, TN

Eggxactly is a breakfast and lunch restaurant on Marlin Road about two blocks east of Elvis Presley/Highway 51/Third Street in Memphis. I went there yesterday morning for breakfast.

I'm not a huge fan of breakfast food but I don't dislike it and I've heard great stuff about this place, and it was all correct! The service was excellent and the food was too!

What I got was a little expensive, I spent about $35 but I got catfish and pancakes (an interesting combination to be sure) and a side order of sausage.

Everything was really good and fresh and even though it was kind of a lot to spend for breakfast, it was worth it.

I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back.

For anyone who may be interested in this, it is a "posted" property, meaning there is a sign saying no guns or weapons are allowed so keep this in mind if you are a concealed carrier.

Pier 64 is a relatively new seafood restaurant on Stage Road in Bartlett just west of Elmore Park Road. I went there for dinner tonight for the first time and was pretty impressed. Apparently (according to my credit card app) it's affiliated with Red Hook.

I ordered pick two or make your own combo, I don't remember exactly what it called. You could choose two items from catfish, shrimp, crab, and something else. I chose catfish and shrimp. My total bill for everything including tax before tip was only $18 although she didn't charge me for my drink.

I highly recommend them, especially for the price!

Also, just FYI if you're interested, they are posted as a no weapons zone.

Harry's Italian is a relatively new restaurant in Millington on Highway 51 a little south of Veteran's Parkway. I had been told good things about it and have been wanting to try it out a while a now.

I was able to get out there a few days ago and it was worth the drive.

I ordered the "Tour of Italy" which was Chicken Parmesan, lasagna, and linguini Alfredo with a side salad. Everything was really good and the prices were reasonable. The total was a little over $45 including tax, tip, and all the food which was very reasonable for all the food I got. I took a lot of it home and had enough for a second meal.

They also serve bread with olive oil as an appetizer which was very good as well. 

The service was also very good. I will definitely be back!

Tony's Trophy Room is a sports bar on Poplar Avenue a couple of blocks west of Byhalia Road/Highway 175. I went there a few days ago for lunch while I was in the area.

I hadn't heard all that much about them but after I went and posted about it on Facebook several people commented that they were not good. One person said it was horrible restaurant. A few people said they liked it.

I didn't find it horrible but it wasn't anything impressive, at least not what I got. I ordered a club sandwich with fries. The sandwich was pretty good but the fries were kind of weird tasting to me. They were almost sweet like sweet potato fries but they weren't sweet potato fries nor did they look like sweet potato fries.

I'm not saying I won't go back, it's just not at the top of my list. The service was okay but nothing spectacular. I don't remember how much it was but it wasn't overpriced. It seemed to be about the same as most similar places.

La Estrella is a new Mexican restaurant on Midsouth Drive in Olive Branch which is right off of Cockrum Road/Highway 305 a couple of blocks north US-78. I went there a few days ago for the first time based on several recommendations I saw on Facebook.

The food was good. I'm not going to give a glowing review like I saw on Facebook BUT it was definitely good and the service was good.

I go to a LOT of Mexican restaurants and frankly, most of them are about the same. Any time I hear "Oh but this one is the the best you've ever had!" I'm always skeptical.

That said though, La Estrella is good, I would definitely recommend it, and I will definitely go back.

I got a build your own dinner and got a chicken quesadilla, chicken enchilada, and a burrito. All together including a drink, cheese dip, and tax, the total was a little under $30 which is about average for the places I've seen.

Definitely give them a try!
