Today I visited the Genre for brunch & was pretty impressed. I first tried the reggae mimosa. Sooo not really sure what it consist of outside of champagne it’s like a secret elixir but it was so delicious! It was me and a few friends so I actually had an opportunity to try so 3 different dishes! Everything was phenomenal. First … the lamb chops and eggs. Divine. A twist from the normal traditional lamb chop sauce of mint jelly which I personally don’t care for. They had a sprinkle of Parmesan shred & they were incredible. They were tender, soft, juicy, grilled just right. Can’t wait to experience it again. The catfish and grits…. Perfect. Catfish was fried to perfection. Flavor was amazing. The grits didn’t taste like regular grits, they were so soft and silky almost as if they weren’t grits. I was disappointed I didn’t order grits lol. Last but not least, the fish and chips were lovely. The atmosphere is small and quaint, a lot of memphis flavor and decor inside. They also offer hook

2nd time at the Genre & both times were a complete disaster. The first time we began to order the waitress came with a napkin of items they had at the moment. The second time I visited the lady told me I couldn’t order my food in a way that I saw it displayed. The same waitress as the first time. She didn’t bring napkins, silverware or syrup and was sitting directly across from us at the bar eating her own meal. The only thing about this place I enjoyed is the fact they have nice music and the food tastes good. GET IT TOGETHER FOR FUTURE CUSTOMERS, because I won’t be back. Parking: Parking is $2

The food was good. But they were out of some foods we ordered and didn't tell us until we asked about the order. Big Dude Burger is really a Lil Dude Burger???? and served on white bread. And if you want onions you are out of luck. Kid-friendliness: Pay parking.
