Food Service Ambiance Chicken wings Steak egg rolls Chicken egg rolls FriesDrinks amazing!At a birthday party it is everything isOh by the way they hookah

I visited with a friend for a birthday celebration and had a chill time. It is a new, fun, and thriving spot (no pun intended, lol). It's spacious, they had a great live band, and good food! The service was pretty fast. It didn't take long at all to be seated and receive food. I had the shrimp and grits. They were super flavorful and had great balance of ingredients I also tasted the fish and grits and they were good as well. The waffles are really good. They taste like funnel cakes, so if you don't want them too sweet or if you want traditional waffles don't get these...but they are worth the try! There is also a twist on there hash browns. They are topped with cheese bacon and sauce. Cool spot in the Midtown area! Love it!

I actually enjoyed this place. I came to celebrate my birthday. I made a reservation before hand and everything was set before I got there but only I couldn't be seated until my party arrived which is pretty much typical nowadays.The atmosphere was nice. The music was nice. I love the decor and vibe here. Cute bathroom . It was a pretty nice crowd for a Sunday. The drinks were strong and the food was ok. The portion sizes are very small for the price in my opinion. My friends agreed. The server did a great job for our party of maybe 10. Oh yea I got a free drink for my birthday. Not sure if this is an always thing but they were doing free drinks for your birthday month.Parking can be challenging if you don't beat the crowd. I believe they charge $20 for their parking lot but if you can luck up and find street parking which I did, it is free. Be sure to take some great pics on their signature grass wall! There are actually great photo op spots all around this place.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Thrive, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Upon entering, my group and were greeted with genuine smiles from the staff. The service was impeccable. Our server, was attentive without being intrusive. What truly impressed me was the attention to detail. We were the group that were seated in the middle section near the entrance. We ordered hookah and drinks. This past Saturday night. Thank you Thank you and Thank you ‼

Friday nights at Thrive are cool which is why I put them on the Edible Memphis Black-owned nightlife guide! I recently went for a birthday and honestly had a blast. We got there in time for happy hour which I enjoyed. Out table friend was really attentive and kept the drinks coming, all of our food was really good, and the DJ Alpha Whiskey was spinning. Birthdays seem to be a big thing here and with the amount of space available, y'all should check it out! We had chicken wings and fries, a Cobb salad and a burger with fries. All were very good! Drinks were strong! My only issue with them is for making those parking spaces in the front $20 a piece. Parking is already a hassle and Also, I think I saw security walk the lot and see people to their cars when they parked in the back. I like that.

Wings was good but drinks was awful smh I will not be back !!!! I will not recommend people to drink when they go maybe just eat because the drinks is not where it's at!!!!

I'd like to start by saying I was only able to find 2 stars for this place because we easily made a reservation, sat down quickly, the dj was good, and the place offered cute photo ops. Other than that I was highly disappointed overall. Once we sat down the waitress brought us water and we ordered drinks. We waited At least 30 minutes before getting the drinks. Keep in mind we had a clear view of the bar and the bartenders were dancing around, doing everything but making our basic tequila and pineapple drinks. When my drink finally came, it wasn't even a full cup. The really disappointing part came when we found out that they were out of almost everything on the menu. We got there at 9:30pm...they still had hours before closing. They even ran out of fries which is the only thing I could get on the menu because I don't eat meat. Unfortunately, When the fries came they were stale, and what was odd was that I had steak fries and my friend had "standard fries". We decided this wasn't the place for us so we asked for the bill and the final kick was when my friend got charged 2 dollars more than what the menu said she should've been charged. My friend was also disappointed to have to eat her salad with a plastic fork.I really wanted this to be a great place. I hope in a few months I'm able to come back and eat my words.

I enjoyed everything about this place. Great music and cool atmosphere! I'm visiting from Chicago and I will def be back! The food was amazing, everything was cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Daisy was on point and very attentive.

Very nice ambiance, however the furniture needs some updating. The table and chairs wobble. The food is outstanding, the wings are so fresh and crispy. Don't leave without visiting the bar.
