First time in Memphis, parked around Beale street, and walked around main street to dine in this very good diner restaurant. Majestic grille has a lot of good food selections. The pork back ribs was really good, perfectly cooked and the meat was very tender. A wide selections of wine, and also great burger.

Food was very good, although they under cooked my steak. Ribs weren’t fall of the bone but they still had a great flavor. A little bit of a sweet taste. Clam chowder was very salty but I enjoyed it. Side dishes (broccolini and spinach) were very oily but they had good flavor. Our waitress (Henry) was very good and sweet. Ambiance is great. A little movie is playing in the background the whole time. Very dark, quiet, and intimate in there.

Everyone, as promised… I came to Majestic Grille for dinner these are the same owners to my previous review Cocozza, was welcomed by the staff and proceeded to the bar. Ordered a glass of red blend, and went straight to dinner. I ordered 8oz. Filet mignon medium of course with some garlic mash. Wow! The food was amazing, the steak had that distinct grill flavor as I wanted to stay classic on the flavor; the mash was very tasteful and creamy. These guys put nothing but heart & soul into their dishes! The restaurant is so elegant and beautiful to match the ambience which has plenty of room for guests. Both restaurants are not far from each other so if you are in the Downtown Memphis area, pencil these great places in! You will love them!!! Thanks guys! I suggest reservations if more than one person.

We stopped for dinner on a Sunday in August. We sat at a booth. Our server was polite and attentive. The food was very good. We had two side salads and shared a seafood pasta dish. The atmosphere was laid back and easygoing. We walked from the hotel so not sure on parking but I’m assuming street parking. I think this was one of the best meals we had while in Memphis.

One of my favorite places to grab dinner, downtown. The atmosphere is always so nice, not too loud but not too quiet and stuffy. I love how decked out it is, at Christmas!! Park in the parking garage and pay before you leave (less charges).

Food was great! We ordered Ribeye, chicken pizza, shrimp and scallops spaghetti, kid’s burger and kid’s pasta. All were delicious! My 12 years old gave 6 stars out of 5… his opinion, 5 would be underrated… so he needs to give 6!

We were staying in downtown Memphis and found The Majestic Grill online. Close to the hotel so we went over and had no problem getting a table. The restaurant has a 30s or 40s retro vibe which was appealing. Tables were on several levels, and there is a second floor level. One feature is a large overhead screen that plays old, black and white silent movies. The service was above average but not outstanding. Our server seemed uncomfortable in his interactions. He actually carded me, and I can say it was decades ago since I was 21! Food was middling. One of us, a vegetarian, ordered the salad and it was basically a pile of lettuce with a few apple strips, some lines of dressing, etc. Very unsatisfying. I ordered pork chops, carrots and mashed potatoes. For the price, the dish was disappointing. The awesome desserts we saw listed in the online menu were not available. Another disappointment. The cocktail was delicious! Parking would be in a garage. The block this restaurant was on was a pedestrian walk through.

Popped in while waiting on reservations at another location. But ended up grabbing a cocktail(gimlet) and a tasty appetizer(egg rolls). While be back for a longer dining experience.
