Ben Yay's was our favorite spot on this trip to Memphis! The house made French bread, the blackened catfish dinner with the crispy sweet potatoes was phenomenal!!!!! The seafood pasta was delicious as well and huge portions. We left with plenty for the next day!...Read More

I went here with a few friends. The restaurant is quaint with a New Orleans feel. Let’s get into this review about the food. It was awful. It wasn’t seasoned, lacked flavor, and everyone at my table needed salt and pepper to add some seasoning....Read More

Food was delicious. My friends grits were cold. I saw a couple of plates going back to be warmed up during my visit. 😯 That's not good. Waiter was attentive but not informative. I will consider revisiting. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30

I ordered the voodoo pasta. The ingredients seem fresh. Nothing hinted at them using frozen produce- if it is frozen then it's good quality. I gave the food a 3 star because I wasn't expecting these flavors. It's not my type of dish. It was kind...Read More
