Run! Don’t walk to go to Alcenia’s! I was immediately greeted with so much love, just like I was a local and regular patron.
The food had the flavor and taste of all of that love.
Definitely the best meal I had in Memphis.
You need to go and have everything on the menu!

Let's start off by saying that the employees were pleasant and friendly.
The owner walked around and kissed customers on the head.
(Super weird if that's not your thing.) Apparently, this restaurant has been open 27 years. I ordered smothered porkchop, macaroni and cheese, and green beans.
The utensils were just old and dirty.
The utensils look as if they are the utensils from 27 years ago.
The drinking cups are too.
Please invest in utensils and cups.
Also, update the display.
It looks old and blurry.
Didn't bother to refill our drinks nor offer if we needed anything else.
There were only 8 customers.
It was NOT busy. For a $20 meal, I expected a tender gravy porkchop.
It was hard as a rock and unseasoned.
The gravy was old, lumpy, and unseasoned.
Macaroni and cheese had no flavor.
The super small portion had a ton of oil in it.
The canned green beans were overcooked, super mushy, no meat and unflavored.
The hot water cornbread was nasty and hard.
I'm glad I was visiting from out of town. Alcenia's is way overhyped.
I left still hungry.
It wasn't worth it.
We drove 10 miles to Southland Casino, paid $29 for a buffet, and it was absolutely delicious.

Wow!!!! If you are looking for an authentic southern meal, then look no further.
We were in Memphis for a festival, and others had dined and recommended it.
We went, and it was packed...... This did not dampen our spirits.
We waited and were not disappointed with anything we ordered.
The staff overwhelmed us with good old-fashioned southern hospitality.
If you are in the area, give it a try.
You will not be disappointed.
