East End Grill - Memphis

No fries with our order that came with fries. The burger I had was good. My daughters red beans were good. You really can’t miss with fried seafood which my husband had. My sons burger was ok.

Always a great culinary experience. Fish n Chips and Red Snapper Fish Tacos tonite! No waiting... quick service. A place where the locals go.

Can't say anything bad, can't say anything good, My Wife ate really all the food, but at a different location than the restaurant itself. All I ate was the Shrimp. Which like most places were good. The atmosphere of the overall establishment was okay only because nearly every place I go, I go for one thing into the door to either eat and leave or buy something and leave. Just like working I come to work, not Socialize and certainly not to make friends. Didn't have any in Chi-Town and I still don't.

I stopped for dinner at the East End Grill for a burger and a beer. I also had an appetizer and tried their chicken artichoke soup, which was quite tasty. The ambiance was off-putting because I stumbled into a sports bar that was playing a raucous game of Bingo. Because trivia is for egg heads I guess. But the food was good, and the service was good. However the check, when it came, caused my brain to seize up. There was an entry of $5.96 for a service charge . I asked my server about it and she explained that it was an 18% gratuity added automatically that 's split by the busser, the bartender, and the server. I 'm a good tipper, even though I think underpaying staff so that tipping is necessary is bad business. But I wasn 't quite sure what to make of that. Do they split it evenly three ways? If I normally tip 20% to my server, do I scale it back to 14%? Additionally, the service charge was added into the total before the recommended tip amounts at the bottom of the bill. So they 're recommending I tip on a mandatory gratuity? I tipped about 15%, thinking that even if it was a little too much I was only screwing myself out of less than a dollar. But I don 't care how good the food and the service and the Bingo were, I won 't be going back. I 'm pretty good at math, but their gratuity shenanigans really didn 't fly with me.

Delicious! Atmosphere was was fun and lively! Great wait staff! We had patty melts that were amazing. The onion rings were perfect! I had a strawberry lemon drop martini. Very delicious! Our new go to place!Food: 5/5
