Best Authentic Restaurants in Southeast Memphis

Not a good and quiet date place, and the food was average to good. Good service made the experience better but not what we expected for the amount of the overall bill. The desserts were awesome, creme brulee cheesecake and the carrot cake. We'll give it one more try and hope for a better chef. Great location and curb appeal is over the top but neither made the food better.

Ronnie Grisanti’s is consistently excellent. One problem, the veal piccata is so good, I order it every time. My wife is the same way with the eggplant Parmesan.

The food was delicious and our server was very attentive. We had the tender sirloin grilled cheese paired with a loaded baked potato. Everything was cooked exactly as expected. We also enjoyed their brownie for dessert. The portion sizes were large so you definitely get your money’s worth. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return in the near future.

Excellent meal, great food, fair prices. Z is the best waiter, very helpful with suggestions!!! Ravioli is the 💣, bow tie pasta with sausage excellent!! Will be back more frequently, blows a lot of other places away!!!

Was looking for a good Mexican spot while visiting Olive Branch. After seeing the reviews, thought we'd give Mama Rosa a try. Doesn't look like a Mexican spot from the outside. It's in a small shopping center and very bright on the inside. Upon entering, very modern and cute decor. The hostess was super sweet and immediately got us sat. Somehow we didn't get any silverware (just menus) but we were able to ask for it later. Our server was Kira. Friendly, gave wonderful recommendations and constantly checked on us throughout the evening. We decided on two of her food recommendations and then Rosita for cocktails. We also did queso. Our queso actually came out a bit cold and wasn't completely melted but she immediately took it back and it came out hot the next time. Our dishes were amazing! The shrimp were big, fresh and the cheese they use is different than other restaurants. The only thing I'd change is charging guests for chips and salsa and then for queso. We ordered chips and queso (no salsa) so it should have only been one charge. Granted it's only an additional 2 dollars so we didn't mention but was just weird to have two separate charges for that. We would definitely come back as the food was amazing, service was good and the staff was super welcoming!
