Jim & Samella's Restaurant

Jim and Samella's is the real deal. My friend and I were traveling from Kansas City and stumbled on this restaurant near closing time and at the end of a very busy day they had filming a documentary. They welcomed us in and fed us very well. Warm home, great food and the nicest people you'll meet. Don't miss the fried catfish, smothered ribs, greens and bread pudding. You taste the love in every bite. Thank you everyone! Hugs, Di & Shelly from KC!!

Lord behold, I found a diamond!!! Walking into this place felt like a warm hug. Yes, it is a restaurant in a house!!! I love the concept of fellowship and having dinner with people you don't know. We all set around the table like one big family. And the smells that were coming from the kitchen just took me away, and when I got to taste the food. It was just like my mom's, God, rest her soul. I truly enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere n the hospitality was phenomenal. I will definitely be back ! P.s try the kool aid😍😍

We traveled from South Louisiana and found a down home gem! Mrs. Darlene and her son make food with love. We were welcomed as family and thoroughly enjoyed their and the other patrons company.

Have been coming for YEARS! Today I enjoyed Sunday dinner sweet potatoes cabbage pinto beans fried chicken fried fish hot water cornbread Mac n cheese heart of South Memphis . Brunch food is good-all food is always good!
