Rob's (mostly) Food Blog: March 2026

Memphis Whistle is mainly a cocktail bar but they have some food items. I heard that they had a great sausage and cheese plate but it turns out that was a one time special a few weeks ago. They are located on Young Avenue a block on so west of East Parkway South.

Tonight I ordered a muffuletta pizza and house made chips and queso and both were great. The total was about $48 before tip which was a little more than I expected but that included three canned drinks and the pizza was large enough that I took half of it home so overall the price wasn't really that bad.

There are only a few food items on the menu so keep that in mind if you go there. I was highly impressed by what I got.

Other recent trips:

Orale Tacos and Bakery, Bartlett, TN - Alambre with steak, chicken, and shrimp

The Sizzler, Oxford, MS - Filet and Shrimp (their blue cheese dressing is really good)

Flights Fish and Wings, Horn Lake, MS

Flights

Flights is a relatively new fish and wings place in Horn Lake on Highway 51 about two blocks south of Goodman Road. I went there a few weeks ago but did not know they closed early. Check their website. Some days they are open until 8 but some days they close at 6 or 4.

I went back a few days ago for lunch and was really impressed. I got shrimp and fries and with a drink my total before tip was around $12 and the food was really good.

I definitely recommend them and I will be back!

Other recent trips:

Urban Fusion is an Asian bistro on Goodman Road a couple of blocks east of Pleasant Hill Road in Olive Branch. I went there a couple of nights ago after running an errand in the area.

The service was good (although it seemed a little slow considering they weren't that busy but no complaints) and the food was really good.

I ordered Chicken Teriyaki which came with a salad and soup and I also ordered a spicy salmon roll. Everything was really good and there was plenty left over.

The price was very reasonable for what I got. Including a drink and tax the total was around $28.

I definitely recommend them and I will be back.
