Fried Catfish. Old ass Corn. Pinto Beans. Cornbread is awful. Not sure what the sauce was. I ain't playing with its white sauce self.

Best food in Memphis!FOOD: I got the fried chicken, mac and cheese, turnip greens, corn bread and candied yams. Everything was amazing and cooked to perfection. Good classic soul food flavor. The texture and flavor on the fried chicken was especially perfect. I also had the VIP sweet tea lemonade...it was soooo good!! Best sweet tea I have ever had! SERVICE: Everyone was sweet. You could feel the southern hospitality. AMBIANCE: It was such a treat to eat in this historic restaurant. The decor is classic. Nothing fancy but clean and a lot of character. Overall, would I come back? Yes and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Memphis!

A must stop in Memphis Tn. Family owned and ran! We ordered 3 whole wings with 2 sides meal Mac and Cheese and turnip greens. The fried chicken is the best in the city if you ask meThere is plenty of seating however during peak times there maybe a wait. Parking is on the side and the back of the building. Be prepared to feel like you're at home with family, the space is filled with historical photos of the best and memorable parts of Memphis. There are two lines when you enter one for take out and one for dine in.

Memphis Black Restaurant Week 2024!This time, mom and I tried Four Way...FINALLY! We've been trying to get them during black restaurant week for years, but never seemed to be able to get through to order. They have online ordering now, so we tried again. Online ordering was simple enough, although we didn't realize there'd be a limited menu for this week. It's all good though. I'm glad we ordered to enjoy at home because when I went to pick up the food they were super busy! Now I see why we had trouble getting through in the past. Parking and seating is also pretty limited. Mom ordered the three wing special with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. I ordered turkey and dressing with yams and greens. We ordered VIPs to drink and each combo came with a cornbread muffin. I wish we could give 1/2 stars for reviews, because I truly enjoyed everything except for the greens. I'd probably give them a 4.5 star rating just because I didn't like the greens. The chicken was seasoned and fried perfectly. The turkey wasn't dry and the dressing was very good. The yams, green beans and mashed potatoes were all yummy. The cornbread muffin was moist and sweet. The VIP was mixed just right. Pretty good overall. I would definitely eat here again. I'll just skip the greens next time.

Was first introduced to this restaurant during a Bust-a-Move Monday business support community event. This was movement where our church went to support local black-owned businesses in the Memphis region. I have been patronizing this restaurant ever since. I have tried a lil bit of everything on the menu and it always fresh and delicious. So, if you like soul food then this is the restaurant for you 10+ stars for great service and reasonably priced food

If you want something fried and delicious, this is the place to visit! From the fried chicken wings, to the catfish, to the fried green tomatoes, and even French fries, everything is made fresh to order and is perfectly crispy. When you enter, you will order and pay before sitting down. As you sit, all of the employees provide excellent and efficient service. It has a homey, comfortable feel inside. Make sure you try a VIP drink - their version of an Arnold Palmer. I recommend the yams as a side and any of their fried items, which again, are crispy AND perfectly seasoned. The Four Way has true soul food that heals and comforts.

Four Ways is historical and a solid Southern meal, but the ambience and service was mediocre. I went for a late lunch and luckily there space in the parking lot or I would have kept driving. The area around Four Ways is pretty depressed and didn't feel very safe.When you enter there are 2 line choices: to go or dine in. Either way you go up to a guy manning a computer to order. After order you get directed to a cashier to pay and either wait for your to go or assigned a table. The quick service feel took away from the ambience. Pricing was fair as most entrees with 2 sides were about $12.There are runners to bring drinks, refill drinks, bring your food and clear tables. My chicken fried steak was good sized and tasty with some decent macaroni and cheese. The extra fried chicken wing I order was fresh fried, juicy and crispy--best item on the menu. The potato salad tasted store bought and the corn muffin from a mix. Overall I recommend for its history, but you can get better Southern food elsewhere in Memphis.

The fried catfish, cornbread, and mac and cheese, were incredible however the candied yams and the fried shrimp were the best I've ever had in my life. A must stop in Memphis.

I had an amazing lunch today at Four Way with a large group of my Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Dears. The servers were attentive to every need for almost 60 Dears. The food lived up to its name - delicious, generous serving and reasonably priced. Today I tried a new item- a fried catfish sandwich. It reminded me so much of the famous New Orleans PoorBoy! It was crispy fried and served with sliced pickles, sliced onions and a bit of tartar sauce. Simply delicious!I was too late in ordering a slice of lemon pie. It was sold out.
