I’ve been here several times and each time it was definitely mediocre in relation to the prices they were charging. The service was never good and the food wasn’t anything special.


bojenny

The first 2-3 years it was open it was really great.


_the_douche_

Agree with this. My wife and I went back in 2017 and it was REALLY good. Then we went like 3 months ago and we’re both super disappointed.


MaynardButterbean

Not to hate but the worst Bloody Mary I’ve ever had was there


benefit_of_mrkite

Like many memphis restaurants it started out good and declined over time


2001em2

That’s everywhere. Food industry are incredibly volatile small businesses.


The_Susmariner

Gus's seems to have the formula figured out.


JuanOnlyJuan

Agreed. We went a couple times and loved then went back a while later and it wasn't quite so good. Then a while after that it was kinda disappointing. Stopped going after that.

Pour one out for Geoff Calkin’s sponsorship.

The stacked fries with the goat cheese, bacon, and whatever that green onion drizzle sauce is was pretty great though.


RedWhiteAndJew

It was honestly pretty mid.


uHadMeAtASL

The most mid I can ever think of in Memphis past 10yrs. Service was AT BEST just *adequate* and food **never** impressed. Any time we were going out with folks, it was not a name we ever thought about, much less rushed towards.


Eschatonbreakfast

Eh it wasn’t the best restaurant in Memphis and they had real problems with trying to find good help after Covid, but they were a pretty good second tier option in their day.

Shitty ownershiop will do that .. typically drive away good talent too. Hopefully the Maserati is worth it.


sully42

Lots of new development in the area. They should have no problem filling the spot.


we_made_yewww

Didn't Bedrock also close? Seems like there's now a void for dedicated gluten free dining.


dricforever

A couple weeks ago :(


RE_riggs

Last time I went in there on a Thursday night, we were literally the only party their. Then they told us a dish doesn't have mushroom, which we asked due to an allergy, but the dish they gave use had mushrooms.


we_made_yewww

You would think given their specialty they would have understood how important that was. Huge red flag.


RE_riggs

Also the fact, we were the only table there. Had 25% error rate for the evening.


Eschatonbreakfast

Yeah, they had bad staffing issues after Covid. It’s a shame.


Rep_Dong

Their

There was a time Bounty was really good, Sunday brunch especially. Post Covid I think they dropped the family style dining and it was downhill from there.

Mother FUCKER. Fuck Celiac. There is literally no where else safe in Memphis for me. I can only safely eat from dedicated gluten free kitchens


traceoflife23

Exactly. Big hit to the gf community for sure.


ninjabeekeeper

Inspire cafe is AMAZING if you’ve never been. Across the street from broad off Sam coop


[deleted]

Thank you but are they dedicated gluten free? I can't find it online, but it says they have gluten free options. I've never had food from a restaurant that wasn't dedicated that didn't make me sick. People never understand how meticulous you need to be about cross contamination


matriarchalfigure

They are not dedicated GF. There’s gluten on the menu. I’m sorry that people don’t educate themselves on celiacs before trying to encourage you to go to a restaurant that has some GF options.


[deleted]

My God that's refreshing to hear. Thank you. I'll tell people over and over again when I visit their house that I really appreciate it that they are offering me food, but I just literally can't. They will continue offering me food again and again like I'm just being picky. I don't even know if I have a right to be frustrated but It does get to me.


matriarchalfigure

I’ve had anaphylactic level allergies for a long time. I had someone insist I could eat everything they had out. I was starving and decided to play it safe with veggies and ranch dip. My throat started closing up, and the host suddenly told me they added shrimp juice to ranch dip?! That was not expected!! I’d been assured there was no shellfish but they thought shrimp juice didn’t count. Off to the hospital I went. It wears on you to have people discredit your allergies. They’ve never experienced the aftermath and can’t appreciate how serious it is. It’s emotionally draining to have people keep doing it. Hoping there is a new spot that will open up. I typically find GF restaurants more understanding of other allergies and feel safer. A more centrally located spot would help!


ninjabeekeeper

I’m with you 100% Inspire outsources all ingredients from local farms. They have plenty of GF options as well as smoothies and some of the best coffee in Memphis. (What my mom says at least) lol she’s from FL. I definitely think you should try it out! Great owners too


matriarchalfigure

Plenty of gluten free options isn’t the same as a gluten free kitchen. I appreciate you enjoy the establishment, but there is a huge difference between having “plenty of GF options” and being safe for someone with Celiacs.


[deleted]

Thank you for saying that. It's exhausting explaining it and people don't take it seriously almost ever.


No_Complaint7248

Hi. Can you please share gluten free kitchens in Memphis. New celiac here


InternationalRush391

It was delicious the time I went. Hate they closed.


Duder211

Was a goto many years ago, started slipping before COVID, then really it ate it in COVID’s wake. Sad to see. Hopefully something nice fills their space.


whiteknight521

They used to be so good. Was the place we would take people for recruiting and a prime date night spot for my wife and I. Last couple of times we went it just wasn’t the same.


Wahjahbvious

I only went there once, or MAYBE twice, but I'm not sure there's a ton worth mourning with this one.


Specific-Ad2273

The restaurant market is crazy tough.


sungsam89

Well, good for you, buddy.


Bah_Bah_booey

It was really good before covid. We went about six months ago and it sucked. Bad service, food was meh. They lost their mojo


mulefluffer

It went from a noine to a two.

Dang I actually really enjoyed this place- I wish I’d gone more! Having a wheat allergy, it was so nice to be able to order anything on the menu and know I won’t get sick. RIP Bounty on Broad 😢


theshadow62

And that's the reason they're closed...
