I especially recommend the Blackberry Cobbler I had one Sunday afternoon! The place was packed, but we got a table and we were served fairly promptly. The food was great, as was the service. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

Excellent " off the beaten path " find for Memphis area travelers looking for soul food. This family establishment has a real down home feel and the food is great. I had catfish and a side of fried chicken livers (couldn't resist) with rich white beans and ham, juicy turnip greens, jalapeño cornbread and an Arnold Palmer in a giant mason jar. The place was packed on an early Saturday eve but the 15 min wait for a table was worth it. Then the 20 min wait for the food was worth it too. The servers were all attentive, affable and helpful. My dinning neighbors friendly. Come hungry and with enough time to slow down to a more "Southern" speed. It's a popular place and really the only restaurant for miles. One thing I couldn't help but notic was the demographic. It was 99.9% white. I felt a bit sad there wasn't a better representative mix of folk in the area, but I guess it was the lay of the land and due to a fair number of confederate flags on neighborhood porches. A shame IMHYO. This food would warm the hearts of us all. I do believe that's why they call it "Soul Food. "I'll definitely be routing back here again!

We had a horrible experience at Slingshot Charlie's. We waited an hour for our food went to the front to talk to someone about why it took so long. The hostess said she would look into it and never came to our table. Got up to leave stood at counter to pay for salad. Mgr/ owner told me we aren't fast food. I told her 3 tables seated after us are thru eating and leaving. It didn't faze her she said the next time you come in we still won't be able to serve you in 10 minutes. We are not fast food.Disappointed after may great meals with friends previously.

We ordered catfish and burger with bacon & cheddar to go. My husband liked his burger and I didn't like my catfish. First of all, they didn't put catsup and tartar sauce in the bag. I don't think customers should have to ask for condiments. Restaurants should be the one asking customers if they want condiments. Additionally, the girl that took my order over the phone put me on hold for about 10 minutes, so I hung up, but she called me back. I should not have put my order and should have gone to Sonic or McDonalds instead of entertaining her call. Anyway, the catfish batter was too thick for me and it just didn't taste good--it was bland. I ate one of the catfish filet and unfortunately, had to throw the other one. The restaurant was loud as we wait for our to-go order. I wanted to like this restaurant but for me, I will not be back.

This estblishment is a little ways outside of town but well worth the drive, food is amazing, somewhere between Piccadilly and Grandma's house. Their meatloaf has a very special brown glaze on it which I must admit I was a little nervous departing from what I what I was used to which is tomato sauce on my meat loaf, however the brown glaze was delightfully amazing. Also this is one of the few places that you can get Fried Green Tomatoes, and they do not disappoint. Also this place is by no means fancy inside, which is fine by me, overhead is low, prices are low as well for what you get. Do yourself a favor take a little drive and have an unforgettable food experience.

This place is AMAZING! The place on the outside is not appealing, but the food is off the charts. I had the country fried steak and the fried fish, both of which were hot and delicious. The only thing that would've made it better was a nice cold beer, I did not get a chance to try the dessert, but I have heard from other customers that they are made from scratch and are absolutely to die for. Our waitress was funny and felt like family. This is by far the best local owned restaurant in the Arlington area and I will for surely be back to try the rest of the menu.

Tastes exactly like my great grandmother's used to make it- out of their family gardens and on to the table. Every thing is mind-blowingly authentic to this 6th generation west Tennessee lady. Some time I would love to order all the homemade dessert and try them all with a few friends. Every thing is absolutely wonderful mostly fried southern foods Ex- catfish, pork chops, fried steak, asparagus, eggplant, green tomatoes. I love their Mexican cornbread best but the homemade rolls and plain cornbread are great also!!!'This place should not be missed!!!!

Excellent food! It's difficult to find so many vegetable options these days and they are all great. I recommend the fish or fried chicken. Cozy atmosphere and really good service.
