Energy Famous Pasta - Memphis

Stopped here during early hours on the way to New Orleans. Staff was friendly and showed us where the restrooms were while we waited for our pickup order. Thank you for the hospitality! The chicken and crab pasta was absolutely delicious on our drive throughMS!

The service here was pretty terrible. Firstly, the table wasn't very clean, so we had to clean it ourselves. The music was absolutely blasting too, but they finally turned it off halfway through. The waiters gave our order to the wrong table twice (apparently, they happened to order two of the same dishes as us, but they had arrived after us). You could tell all of the waiters started getting frustrated with each other with one of them shouting around loudly and storming off. They also had the audacity to charge the included gratuity for a party of 5 after the disorganized service given.Our food took a while to come, but when it did, I have to say that it did taste pretty good. We ordered the New Orleans Pasta, Lasagna Pasta, and Veggie Pasta. All three dishes were tasty (maybe the Lasagna Pasta was a tad too cheesy, though). However, the cost per dish is just way too expensive for the portion sizes you're getting. The prices make it seem like it's family-sized portions (like $30 per dish on average). We ordered 3 dishes for 5 people, and while the portions are big, it's still a bit small for two hungry people. I would think they would serve more for the price.

Delicious food! I enjoyed the R&B/hip hop played by a very talented DJ…this alone made for an amazing atmosphere (and he said he plays EVERYTHING…yes, everything)! Gracious customer service from the staff. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: I had a delicious vegetable Cajun pasta.

Service was horrible. The young lady that took our order was very nice, but she was the only one working. Her other coworkers were constantly yelling at her to to take food to the tables, which she did. She also had to make drinks, take orders, bag to go orders and tend to the dine in customers all by herself while they stood by and did nothing. One of the people that attended this restaurant with me did not recieve the egg rolls he ordered because the employee who was supposed to cook them went on a smoke break. Another employees child (5 yr old) was constantly running around the establishment climbing into chairs and constantly messing with the host who was doing everything. It was a very unprofessional environment. On top of that, one of the employees friend brought a dog into the establishment and he proceeded to allow the dog to sit on top of the table. He proceeded to feed the dog and groom him while other patrons were eating their food.

My coworkers and I stopped by the other night and we were so disappointed. It was 3 of us and 2 of us had been to the location on Jackson but this was all of our first times coming to the location downtown. First I want to say that it was not busy. We were promptly greeted and instructed to pick where we were going to sit. Our waitress come over quickly and was very nice. 2 of us couldn't decide what to eat, so we just ordered drinks and 1 person placed their whole order drink and entree. Our drinks came out quickly, off to a great start...it then went downhill. We all got the strawberry Hennessy and they were so weak. I know not all drinks come strong but I at least want to taste a hint of alcohol. And we didn't taste any. Just strawberry syrup! So there we sat for an hour talking and just chillin when we started to really question where our food was. Well their food because I was so upset with my drink I had already decided that once we left I was going somewhere else. Anywho...one of my friends needed to go and she went to ask how much longer would her order take...she was told that it hadn't even been started!!! A whole hour had passed and her pasta was not even started. She was heated, so we all decided to just pay for our drinks, cancel the food and go. Our drinks came to $23.92 a piece!! Now I know that adding gratuity is pretty standard now but no, no, no. As we were standing there trying to pay the women working there were cursing and getting upset and not being professional at all! Now if the drinks had been stronger I probably would of been slightly in a better mood and it would not of bothered me as much but essentially we paid $24 for juice and to sit. I was so disappointed, I had told my coworker (the one who had never had Energy Pasta) how great it was and she never even got to taste it!! Never again! I'm glad I got a chance to eat it when I did.
