Huey's Poplar

Definitely a local favorite. I go for the burgers, especially the Bluff City burger, wings and steak sandwich. The black bean patty is great if you don't eat meat, or even if you do. They are known for letting people write on the walls, the ones they can repaint, so bring a sharpie, and some friends.

The food quality here is pretty average, with a decent pub fare menu mix and bar. Only saw one local beer on tap. They had half the restaurant sectioned off so seating was super tight. My husband and I came here for a quick lunch and there was only one waitress working the entire restaurant. She was as attentive as she could be with the tight crowd, but our apps sat for a while and were lukewarm when we got them. The entrees were decent, nothing great. Super busy parking lot, but overall not an unpleasant experience!

Did take out 2x here and the food was really good. Had a burger and cheese steak. So being from Philly and ordering a Philly cheese steak I am always laughing when I see onions, peppers and mushrooms on the sandwich. Well not here it was only grilled onion like in Philly, and it was good and definitely should be called a Philly cheese steak. The burger was good also, juicy hot and made just right. Good place for a bite if you're looking for one.

Truly a Memphis classic. I've been going to this location for years, and there's a good reason there's sometimes a wait. However, in the middle of the day when I go for lunch, there's always a table and smiling person to seat me and take my order. While any of the burgers is excellent, the salmon and veggie plate (while a little pricey) is very good (and pretty good for you).

My son went to hang out with his coworkers yesterday after work. We drove to meet up and ended up deciding to dine-in ourselves. Typically I am a picky eater for many reasons: what to eat, where to eat, and the presentation of my food - looks and size wise. I was going to order a sandwich, but decided to stick with what I know so I wouldn't be disappointed. The restaurant was packed out which lets you know it isn't a bad place to patronize. My dinner companions enjoyed their food while I sat there staring at mine. Once our waiter came to check on us, I addressed my concerns with my meal. Although, I can be picky about my food, our waiter even addressed his own shared opinion as myself. He stated that their fish is weighed, but that mine were small. Needless to say I sent it back and did not order anything else. I just sat there enjoying my family's company and drinking my unsweetened Arnold Palmer. I was told to find an alternative meal somewhere else by my spouse prior to going home. However, I ended up going home and eating reheated chicken wings and making a pot of rice and green beans. I hold no ill feelings toward this establishment and will definitely return. I just needed to shed light on my meal choice. #memphisfoodblogger #catfishbasket
