Our first time in Memphis and we lived this place. We were greeted immediately by the staff, given a thorough rundown of the menu items with recommendations. We chose the Texas trio - ribs, brisket, and sausage. All 3 were outstanding. The mac and cheese was different, but really good. The Texas twinkie was a solid classic, and the cole slaw was cole slaw. If we ever make it back to Memphis, we'll be back to Bains. We had a gluten free member with us and she had zero issues.

Great experience. Menu items were not your standard run of the mill options. But server was great at answering questions and confirming which items were, or could be modified to be, gluten-free or vegetarian. And I got to sit in the Priscilla chair! Would definitely recommend or return when I'm in the area.

My husband and I were extremely happy with our visit again last night. The staff was super friendly and answered questions with knowledge. I'm gluten free and I was told they could modify almost anything there to be gluten free. What?! We had the Wasabi Deviled Eggs for appetizer and they were delicious. I chose the seared tuna which had a sauce that contained gluten so they modified it with something else. Once they did that they suggested a new side to compliment the sauce, which was fine with me. It was wonderful! My husband had the scallops and he said it was the best he ever had and they were huge. For dessert we shared the banana pudding pavlova (?), which they also adjusted to be gluten free. It was amazing as well. It melted in your mouth. It is great to have someone who actually cares about my allergy just as much as I do!! Thank you to the staff and cooks.

Friendly, cozy place. Breakfast was amazing! I had scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, grits, home fries, gluten-free toast, and what I think was honey butter. YUM! All of it was delicious! I generally don’t care much for grits but these were maybe the best part of this perfect meal… creamy and delicious! The bacon was crispy and flavorful. The eggs were light and perfectly cooked (because the server asked if I wanted them scrambled hard or soft! ) My decaf coffee was delicious and my cup was filled frequently! Several friendly and welcoming servers pitched in to make sure I was taken care of even though the place was full, with several people waiting. I hesitated to review it cuz I don’t want it to get too crowded since it’s so small, but it deserves a great review and hopefully it will be so popular they can expand soon!

We had a big group of people in our party and the service was so good. I haven’t seen caring service like this in years. The portions were generous. I felt like I was overseas because of the amount of food served and great service. We asked about gluten and daily free options and the cook came out to answer our questions it! I recommend this restaurant.
