At 3rd and Fernwood, our name is as meaningful as our mission. Nestled at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, our restaurant is a tribute to the iconic 'meat and three' joints of the Mid South and Deep South—echoing the soul of Southern dining and celebrating the street corner in Memphis where Subrina's father grew up. We honor these deep-rooted culinary traditions by embracing today’s seasonal bounty, offering a menu that evolves with the seasons and welcomes every guest. From hearty classics to fresh takes on old favorites, each dish is a narrative of our heritage, crafted with locally sourced ingredients and served with pride. Whether you're seeking comfort in familiar flavors or adventure in new creations, 3rd and Fernwood provides a place where every meal is a celebration of community, history, and the rich tapestry of Southern cuisine.

We attended the Leah & Louise Grand Dinner as they drew a close on their stay at Camp North End. It was AMAZING!

EXTREMELY poor experience tonight. Has always delivered an exceptional experience but, I suspect they are in decline to miss on so many things tonight. Our server made us feel rushed from the very start. Before our first course shareables arrived, I asked to double up our order of mussels, but the server said I needed to wait until the first order arrived. Really? Very odd. Was asked to place our entrée order 4 to 5 times in a 10 minute span while we were trying to enjoy our first courses and pace our entrées. If you don't want to offer the same level of experience and service that someone might get at 7 or 8 pm for a 945 pm rez, don't offer up the time slots. Service csme across as pushy and rude. Definitely not the impression and vibe I was excited to wow my out-of-town brother with. Shared $40 steak. Medium rare. Arrived sliced and EXTREMELY rare. Cold and blue. How can the chef slice a steak and not see that it is extremely rare? Would like to have enjoyed another beer with my dinner but was never asked. We would have also ordered dessert and maybe coffee if we didn't feel so unwanted where we were an annoyance for being a 945 pm reservation. Where was mgmt tonight? Especially with an item that needed a recook because it was executed so poorly. The broccolini that came back out 5 to 7 minutes later with the recook was the same from the original plate (only this time the sauce was congealed and a darker color from being under a heatlamp) and was wilted by this point. The recook steak was served a perfect medium rare, but it was not delivered by a manager. That would have given us a chance to alert them to poor service and poor execution and a big miss compared to previous visits and standards.

It was date night! Host was amazing! Enjoyed the food and our friends. Paul was our waiter. All was well until the end. We actually arrived to restaurant early bc we wanted to treat our friends. We explained that I would take care of entire food bill and husband would take care of all alcohol. Despite saying this multiple times, Paul charged my husbands card for the food . I also paid for it and then he had to void it. I paid twice and was not given proof of receipt of the mistake. I was very upset and did not receive an apology or anything. Great experience turned bad

The cocktails were fantastic and there was a nice layering of flavor. Service was okay but can be best described as disinterested with the exception of the bartender.

Was sadly disappointed after reading great reviews. Food was served room temp and even gravy for catfish was actually COLD. Staff were friendly but they seemed woefully short on people. Took longer than reasonable to get drink and food orders plus delivery of food. Ambiance nice. Food overpriced for what you get. Hope they were just focused on move to new place and this was one-off bad experience.

The food at Leah & Louise was outstanding. Unfortunately, the service was poor. The night we were there, the restaurant was not busy at all. Yet, our water glasses were not refilled until we requested it. This is a basic function of any restaurant. Also, we split an entree, and did not get two plates to split it on. Same with dessert. Had to ask for plates each time. Pretty disappointing. I would not let the poor service keep me from going again, because the food was so wonderfully creative and delicious...

The food was bland, mostly unseasoned and flavorless. For the price I would expect something much better.
