| Despite its Southern location and position near the Mississippi River, Memphis doesn’t boast many catfish joints, more typically found along country roads in rural areas. But Soul Fish is an urban catfish shack, offering down-home cookin’ in the middle of the otherwise bustling Cooper-Young neighborhood. Besides fried catfish, Soul Fish offers a Cuban po’ boy, smoked chicken and fresh-daily Southern-style vegetables. Bring the kids, as the diner is very kid-friendly. And arrive early for lunch or dinner as this place fills up fast. A so-so beer list and a short but decent wine list are available. Dessert means caramel pecan pie or caramel pecan pie à la mode (or if you feel like drinking dessert, there’s also a root beer float). Also located at 3160 Village Shops Dr., Germantown, 901-755-6988. |
