Alcenia's

"There is scarcely anything simpler, or more directly satisfying for dessert lovers, than egg custard pie. "
Michael Stern






"Note the festive plate on which the fried chicken is served. Alcenia's dishware and decor are eye-popping, but not so wondrous as to distract anyone from the greatness of the food."
Michael Stern



"In other regions of the country, cabbage is at best boring. In Memphis, at Alcenia's in particular, it is glorious. Spicy, luxurious, and satisfying."
Michael Stern



"The Memphis Commercial Appeal declared Alcenia's bread pudding one of the ten best desserts in the city."
Michael Stern



"A pretty straightforward omelette. Pleasantly un-greasy with the perfect amount of fillings."
Mike Fuhr



"These croquettes were perfectly done. Nice and crispy on the outside with just the right meaty texture inside."
Mike Fuhr



"The mundane exterior doesn't prepare you for the colorful decor or the interesting food."
