    We had a wonderful experience. Our server was excellent. She was very friendly and attentive. She made excellent suggestions. Our meal was awesome. The filet was cooked perfectly. The shrimp and grits were excellent. The Cajun pasta was flavorful and delicious. The Cajun shrimp with Abita beer bread was incredible. We finished up with bread pudding and creme brulee. Both were very good. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    We’ve been to Memphis a bunch in the past and found Amelia Gene’s on a recent trip. I will always make a point to come here whenever I visit Memphis again. If you want an outstanding meal, great selection, and unbeatable service, you need to come here. It’s a classy but comfortable setting. Great music playing over speakers but not too loud to where you can’t have a conversation at the table. The building it’s in has been rebuilt from a 1800’s blacksmith’s foundry. Still has some old equipment to keep its heritage. It’s a must visit when you come to Memphis. We got the cheese cart, hummus starter, ravioli (more like onion soup in a lasagna noodle bowl, fabulous). Get the carrot cake! You won’t be disappointed!

    If you are going to Memphis, do you definitely need to visit B.B. King’s restaurant. We were there on a Friday evening around 5 PM and were able to catch the band Memphis Jones. They were outstanding!! We shared a plate of nachos with pork and had a couple cold beverages, and it couldn’t have been any better.
