Lew's Blew Note Bar & Grill

If I could give this place no star I would and that's all due to the OWNER we came in with some regulars we order a lot of food there was one plate that was sent back out of a table full of food we were planning to stay for the night mind you we can in early before the band if got there anyways owner came over and ask what was wrong nicely said that the shrimp didn't taste good and just would like to trade it out for something else didn't happen that way he grab the plate and said YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT. And walks off we never got something else and we were told we couldn't order anything else the owner yelled very loud at his sever NOOOOO cause she asked if someone else could order at our tableNever going back and would highly recommend not going here

There's lots of choices of restaurants on Beale Street to eat at and a tough choice for a foodie, with a lot of pressure from the inner voice to go with bbq. I however, decided to go with catfish, and it was pretty good, not the best I've had, but pretty good. My bf and I shared a platter for lunch, and it was plenty for both of us to eat since the portion of catfish was nice. Wish the portion of coleslaw was a little bigger, to make me feel like I had some veggie with all my fried food. Premium fries would have pushed it to 5 stars.

So met the owner during our group outing with A Tour of Possibilities www.atopmemphis.com. Our guide highly recommended his place. He bragged on his 1 & 1/2 wings and live music with Ms. Nikki. Well he was right!! By far my favorite wings from my entire trip in Memphis. I had Lemon Pepper & I enjoyed them immensely. My BFF had the catfish filet & it was seasoned to perfection. My other friend had a bacon cheeseburger and she enjoyed it as well. The venue is nothing fancy, but the live music made up for that. Ms. Nikki and the band were amazing!!! The lead guitarist did a solo of Purple Rain and got a standing ovation. Will definitely come back, it is a great piece of Beale St.

Leaving this review for my parents:Parents visited on a Friday afternoon, sat and ordered some Cokes and their food. Only one other table in the restaurant at that time and their food was delivered incorrectly. They sat and waited, after ordering, for an hour at which point they asked the waiter where their food might be. Another hour went by, no other table came in, no refills for drinks and no acknowledgment of the time passed. At just about 2 hours, the server came by and stated that the food would be another 30 seconds, at this point my parents were no longer interested in waiting. They said they would pay for their drinks and go, the restaurant insisted they were on the house, and apologized for their wait.They would not recommend a visit if my wife and I were I town.They did love Memphis, overall.

Run. Don't walk. Is the food good? We don't know. Waited forever for it & had to leave without it. We weren't the only table to do so.

Expensive!!!! Ridiculous little drink in a small plastic cup and 2 well drinks were $19, not cozy at all. And I'm easy to please. Won't be back...

Just didn't like the feel or service probably better with a band kinda dirty dingy in daytime

My review is simply for the food. On October 14, just prior to the Pearl Jam concert at FedEx Forum my wife and I dropped into this spacious new bar/restaurant for a quick bite. Located at the very end of the strip, the place was empty when we arrived and we were nervous we had chosen a sinking ship. I ordered a Blue Note burger which was served on toasted white bread. The bread had obviously been buttered and grilled - similar to a Grilled Cheese - which gave it an extra level of fucking awesome and the crinkle cut fries were cooked to perfection. My only negative was the poor beer selection. I had really hoped for a nice Hoppy IPA, but instead settled for a Heineken. Oh well, you can't always get what you want...you get what you need.

We stopped in for a pre-game bite to eat. The whole wings were big, seasoned well, and surprisingly tender. We were there on a Tuesday night and old school jams and blues bellowed from the speakers up front. We sat at the bar. Drinks were two for one. Spacious and inviting atmosphere. Friendly staff. No cover charge. Far end of beale st. Away from the hussle and bustle. Great find for us.

Came here right before new year's eve as a friend's recommendation.Cousins 3 was the group playing that night. They were really good music, including several covers including purple rain. The front man was a good emcee too. My host bought a CD of theirs too.The establishment itself was nice. The chicken wings and fries were really good. Had Lemon pepper and mild "naked" wings. Highly suggest the lemon pepper flavor. PBR was only $2 too, which was the cheapest beer I had anywhere on beale during the trip.Waiter was extremely nice and very good at coming back often to make sure we were good.Lew's started out busy and definitely died down since we were there out of season with record cold outside, but this place is on point.
