Germantown Commissary is a small barbecue restaurant on Germantown Road right by the railroad tracks north of Poplar Pike. It's been there a long time and most people consider it a staple of the area. I had not been there in years but was in the area a few days ago and stopped by for dinner.

I ordered I think what was called the Big Daddy appetizer which was wings, cheese, barbecue nachos, deviled eggs, and house made chips and my friend got a catfish sandwich.

My food was really good and my friend said hers was too. To be honest, I was a little disappointed at the amount of barbecue on the nachos -there wasn't very much- but what was there was good. Other than that, I didn't have any issues.

There was plenty of food and I had enough left over for a second meal. 

The prices were reasonable. I believe the entire bill before tax was about $45.

I will definitely go back when I get over that way.

 

Other recent trips of places I've already reviewed:

 

Kublai Khan, Southaven, MS - Las Vegas roll and a crazy grill

 

Jersey Mike's, Southaven, MS - tuna sandwich

I haven't actually reviewed them because I don't normally review large chains. It's new to Southaven. They are a little pricey but the food is pretty decent. Most people seem to like it better than Subway.

 

Riverview Buffet, Fitz Casino, Robinsonville, MS - various

Little Jamaica is a new Jamaican restaurant in Southaven on Stateline Road just west of I-55 at the corner of Stateline Road and Hamilton Road. They have a location in Memphis as well. It's only been open 2 or 3 weeks but I had a chance to try them out a few days ago.

I know essentially nothing about Jamaican food so I didn't know what to try. One thing I noticed is they don't have an overly large menu so it was reasonably easy to choose something.

I ordered the jerk chicken, my friend ordered the curry chicken, and we also got an order of sweet plantains. I didn't care too much for the plantains but I assume if you like them they were good however my other food was great and my friend said hers was too!

The service was excellent and the food was ready pretty quickly. The prices were a little higher than I expected, the total for all three items was around $60 but we got plenty of food for the price. I don't actually have a complaint about the price at all, it was just higher than I expected. I ate three different times off of my plate and my friend told he that she did too.

I highly recommend checking them out. I will definitely be back!
