My girlfriend and I asked the front desk of our hotel upon, the valet driver, the custodian worker, anyone we could where the best soul food restaurant was near or in Downtown Memphis; and it was like trying to find a needle in the haystack! We googled every recommendation and it wasn't the real soul food that we were looking... More

Located close to the STAX museum in Memphis is a gem of a soul food restaurant that shouldn't be missed. The food is simply wonderful! The restaurant is a local classic, about 10 years ago enlarged and with abundant onsite parking. The people were extremely friendly and the Bates family, who own the restaurant, provided us with personalized attention and... More

I am so glad we went to Fourway. The food was amazing. The service was excellent. We really wanted to go back the next day, but wanted to visit other restaurants. This is a very inexpensive restaurant, but great portions. Food is fresh, well-cooked, delicious. I can't wait to return to Memphis so I can eat here again. Do not... More

If you like soul food, you will love the Four Way. If you don't like soul food, you will after you eat at the Four Way. Do not leave Memphis until you have eaten here. The food is plentiful and tastes beyond belief. The baked chicken is so tender it literally melts in your mouth. Our server told us there... More

We heard of this restaurant from the NY Times Places to Visit and boy were we glad we did. There were five of us, including 2 kids, and we all enjoyed every bit of everything! We ordered baked chicken, turkey with all the trimmings and fried catfish. WOW - everything was amazing! This is by far the best catfish I've... More

I read about this restaurant on Tripadvisor and we had to try it. The food was absolutely delicious. All home-cooked and made with love. Friendly staff and efficient service. We stuffed ourselves but still had to have dessert. Everything was awesome!! More

Visited Memphis with a bus load of Seniors from Ms for the Weekend. A Memphis resident told us about this place and said their soul food was excellent. After visiting several museums we stopped for lunch. They had been told of our arrival but didn't have enough help as we were a group of 55. The wait time was very... More

We first went to Four Way Friday after reading the high marks on Tripadvisor. We arrived about 6 pm Friday, an hour before closing. When we entered the business, we were not received right away. Later someone asked us did we want to place an order for a To Go. We replied no we would like to Dine In. She... More
