I am a southerner born and raised. The food is very well seasoned but not spicy. I loved it and tried to eat there everyday during my stay in Memphis. I can't say enough about this place from the corn bread...

It was o...k... This was NOT the best homecooking that I've had. I tried them twice and I still came out with a puzzled look on my face. Just my opinion.

This was my first waitressing job. I specifically remember getting reprimanded for throwing out rolls that had been on someone's table. They take the uneaten bread and put it back in the warmer!!!...

I have been eating at the Cupboard for about 30 years. It never recovered from its move west on Union from the storefronts associated with Kimbrough Towers. I don't know the year of the move, but it...

It's a meat and three that's not F&%@ing Cracker Barrel or Dixie Cafe. That alone makes it worthwhile. It even edges out (and I'll qualify by saying Barely), the Blue Plate for tasty, quick turn...

I was a bit disappointed. It's okay. First, there were a ton of "older" people, quite a few white-hairs and it also smelled like an old person's home. It wasn't bad, it just was. I did appreciate that...

I'm not huge on the "down home southern cooking" because regardless of what kind of restaurant holds that kind of title. It always seems to be fitting of the "greasy and unhealthy" connotation....

It's hard to find good soul food and country cooking when you're vegetarian. Everything's usually boiled with hamhocks, or seasoned with bacon grease. So imagine my delight when I discovered that all...

Used to be a tiny 'meat & three', across Union. Now, housed in a former Shoney's Big Boy, The Cupboard serves up good, basic southern fare: meatloaf, veggies, fried okra and (of course) fried chicken....

On a family trip, I decided I needed some real food, so by chance I came across this place. The line was long but I tell you it was well worth the wait. The food was homecooked like grandma's and just...

If you want a real home cooked southern meal without doing all the work, you cannot come any closer than at The Cupboard Restaurant. My husband is a real meat-and-three kind of guy, and this is his favorite...

What can I say? I'm a Southerner, born and raised, and I know home cooking when I have. The fried chicken alone is worth visiting for.

Just like Grandmas cooking. Pick a meat (fried chicken if you're smart,) then fill the rest of your plate with vegetables and fresh bread. Creamed corn, collard greens, and other southern standbys will bring a...

This place is usually packed with Memphians having a filling home-cooked meal of the Southern-style meat and vegetables variety. "Meat" includes a range of protein foods such as baked chicken, hamburger steak,...
