Memphis Cafe

Took my wife here before a show at the local concert hall. We got two beers, an appetizer, two main courses, two espressos and dessert for $100. An insanely low price for the Irvine/LA area. The staff were all extremely down to earth very pleasant to interact with. The atmosphere was cozy, distinct but unpretentious. Perfect for a low stress night out with a special someone. And the food, good god the food. You have absolutely zero idea how good the food is here. An absolute gem. Can't recommend it enough. Thanks again for a lovely evening.

Memphian here trying out a cafe called Memphis. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was so juicy. The gravy was tasty. I don't like waffles, but these waffles were soft and tasted delicious. My cheesy eggs were so hot; however, I still ate them at that temperature because it was so good!!!!

I have been coming here for 20 years! The food is so amazing. I’m a huge fan of the meatloaf, and gumbo and the green chili grits are soooo good. I’m also glad they have breakfast now, and it’s just as good as their lunch and dinner. The service is always good, but I got some of the best service I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time from Kenia. Ask for her as your server, you won’t be disappointed. She is polite, efficient and attentive without overdoing it. As a former server I recognize good service.

I have found a treasure in Costa Mesa, CA. This place is off the chain. The food was incredible. The service was amazing! The atmosphere was perfect. A HUGE shoutout to Honey. She was our server and her customer service was top notch. She recommended some fantastic dishes and we ordered based on what she told us and we WERE NOT disappointed. Thank you, Honey, for being knowledgeable enough of the menu to be able to recommend those dishes for us. She recommended the deviled eggs: excellent. Best I’ve ever had. She also recommended the potato cakes: totally amazing!! And we also ordered the red chilaquiles with pork belly and OMG: next level. If you’re in Costa Mesa, do yourself a favor and eat at Memphis. Wish we had a Memphis in TX! 😂❤️

Went here for my birthday with my partner and had a great time. I grew up in the south so believe me when I say the fried chicken is good it is good. Waffles were perfect and my partner was super happy with his burger as well. Our server was kind and answered questions we had about the food no problem. Definitely would come again to try the catfish!
