Cheffie’s Cafe

I always enjoy eating here. The food is great. They give large portions too. The atmosphere is cool.

I’m a huge fan of this place. Hands down, the best salads in Memphis for an amazing price! Their portions are HUGE and they don’t skimp on the good stuff.
You can make your own salad, or choose one from the menu (but you can definitely make little changes to them). They ask you if you want your greens chopped or not, and they give you the option to toss the salad or leave as is. They also give you the option of having the dressing on the side, or just having them add it in for you. I almost always have the Greek salad. Absolutely delicious and so filling! And everything tastes so fresh. They have sandwich options too, and I’ve tried some, but I have to say the salads outshine anything else they can possible serve here.
They have both indoor and outdoor seating and they are located in a really nice part of town (Highpoint Terrace). There are no servers, you simply walk in and stand in line, tell them what you want, they prepare it right in front of you, then you grab it and pay, and then you just sit and leave when done (nice not to have to wait for the bill/​change). They also have beer options available (I’m pretty sure they have their own pint night), and they have a gelato bar (don’t even get me started on how good that is)!!!
Give this place a shot when you’re tired of eating greasy/​fried food. Your tummy will thank you for it, and Cheffie’s will have you craving their salads no matter how avid a carnivore you are!

Wanted to grab lunch nearby as I had a lot of errands to complete and stopped in.
I was surprised. It is beautiful, open, and it makes me want to hangout here with a beer in hand.
I sprung for the curry chicken salad while my friend grabbed a turkey sandwich. The salad was perfect — I’m definitely going to make this part of my routine of places to eat.
I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and sat outside on their patio. Great for people watching and enjoying the view.
This place is a gem in Highland Park!

This place is pretty neat! Very open and airy and the customizations mean that even the pickiest of eaters can be satisfied.
The concept with cheffies is build your own salads or sandwiches. For those that find this intimidating there are some ideas on the menu. For those that aren’t really in the mood to be healthy there’s chips, desserts and sodas available. There’s also several flavored of tea for those looking to avoid sodas.
The salads are HUGE and like other reviewers I strongly recommend getting your salad chopped

I absolutely love Cheffies. If you like cobb salads, this is your place. Get it chopped, you won’t regret it!

This is one of our favorites spots for a great sandwich or salad. You pay a little extra, but the food is great and the folks that work here are awesome!

I’ve heard about this place for so long yet never ventured over – and boy am I SORRY it took me so long. Hubs and I rented a tandem bike at Shelby Farms and rode down the green line on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Cheffie’s was our oasis from the heat and humidity and what a welcoming. The place is fun, open, with a modern urban vibe. This is the kind of place my family (with their selective3 eating habits and special diets) likes to eat and so YES, I will be bringing the 3 offspring (ages 16 – 22) soon. For those who want precise control over what they are eating this is wonderful. You can build your own salad or sandwich. For those who don’t want to do all that thinking, you can order one of their menu salads or sandwiches (which is what we did). They are wonderful and have good, healthy and creative choices. I got the Tuscan Chicken sandwich without the cheese. The homemade pesto schmear was delish! Hubby got the Crunchy Roast Beef Sandwich and let me have a bite. Also very wonderful! I love that there are vegetarian choices as well. There is also beer and wine and lots of big TV screens (inside and out on their comfortable deck) so this would be a great place to watch the big game and meet up with friends.

This is a great family place. The sandwiches and salads are all very fresh and I have enjoyed each item I’ve ever ordered here. There is something for everyone. There isn’t much in the way of actual service but everyone there is very friendly.

This is a great spot for lunch. You can build your own salad or sandwich, or get a premade one. This time I ordered the Niçoise salad, which I have had a few times. If you like tuna salad and kalamata olives, this is a winner. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The air conditioning is super cold, which felt amazing bc it was insanely humid and hot outside.

I’ve been there twice, getting a salad once, and on the second visit, a sandwich.
My biggest gripe is that it’s overpriced. Each time I’ve gone, I’ve been shocked by how little I get for how much I pay. I ordered a sandwich the second time, hoping that it would be more filling and substantial than the overpriced salad that I’d had there the first time.
During the second visit, I checked online first to see what I wanted to order. When the cashier, who had to ask someone what every sandwich and salad was before ringing it up, rang it up higher than the online price, I kept my mouth shut since it was less than a dollar’s difference. No prices were posted on their wall menu, so perhaps they raised the prices and didn’t correct their online listings.
Each time I’ve eaten there, I’ve dined outside, on the patio. It’s nice, but it’s not necessarily clean. Each time there have been birds flying in to eat off the tables that haven’t been cleaned. There were flies buzzing around because of the food the first time I ate there, and I made a mental not to dine inside the next time, if it was warm.
The first time I ate there, you could smell the bike shop oil smells inside the restaurant. I really didn’t want to return after that first experience, but I let an acquaintance talk me into it a second time, thus, the overpriced sandwich.
Granted, the sandwich was tasty, but not $ 8.29 tasty. Over $ 11 for a sandwich and tea. Next time I’ll go to Fino’s, Huey’s, Boscoe’s Squared, etc., for a sandwich. For a salad, I’ll go to Lettuce Eat. Part of what you’re paying for here is the High Point Terrace experience.
I know food snobs look down on chains, but there are some chains out there with less expensive menu items that feature quality ingredients, and are just as healthy. One in particular is not from from Cheffie’s so I’ll continue to be a frequent visitor there for their antibiotic free chicken that goes on a super healthy salad. It may not have a charming patio with scavenging birds, but it’s cheaper and just as healthy and tasty.
It has a nice patio in a neighborhood. I saw tons of high chairs, so they must do a big business for families with small children.
The food is good, but it’s overpriced. I assume that when one dines there, one is paying not just for food, but ambiance and location.
There’s a sign saying tips welcome. For what? You line up, you order, you pay, you get your own drink, and then you sit down. How is that different from a fast food place or another fast casual place? What’s the tip for?

Great place if you what to eat healthy. They have great salads that you can order or make yourself. They are reasonably priced and delicious. I will definitely be back.

Fast service. Excellent BLT. Relaxing outdoor deck covered with trees. Great place. Will definitely have lunch there again.

I was in town from Michigan and dying for a really fresh, good tasting salad and sandwich… found the best place for both in Memphis! This place has great food and incredible staff. Next trip through this will be one of my stops!

One of the most amazing things about Cheffies is that when people walk in it’s a very no frills unassumingly awesome place. A recent visit with my friend started off with a side glance of «Where the hell are you taking me?» and ended in a «Oh I love this place now, so glad we came.»
The food is outstanding. I don’t know anywhere else in Memphis that you can get a fresh badass salad at a reasonable price (Panera doesn’t count because we’ve all eaten each of those salads 1000 times). The ingredients are always fresh and you can order a specific salad or get creative and make your own. There soups are also amazing. I do wish they offered a half salad and soup combo though. The portions are huge and the prices are great. They also offer sandwiches and gelato (neither of which I’ve had) and they offer beer and wine as well.
The décor is a bit bland, but for the food and value, I easily can overlook it! They also have wifi!

Loved this place! We decided against another place near here and happily landed at Cheffies. I made my own salad and it was so good and fresh — just too big. I added the excellent hummus and no dressing or cheese was needed. The spouse loved his pimento cheese panini and added a bowl of black bean soup. I love that they offer many beers and wines. Th atmosphere is nice enough for dinner, too.

How is that I hadn’t been here until this week? The salad offerings are just delicious! 3 types of greens, turkey, chicken, half a dozen cheeses, fresh and sundried tomatoes, nuts, assorted veggies, dried cranberries, and all manner of tastiness.
When you get your bowl loaded just the way you like it. You can either have the salad tossed or chopped. I strongly recommend chopped. It allows all the flavors to meld and mix.
The bowl is fairly large, so the $ 8.50 pricetag is worth it. I have not tried the other offerings. They have gelato, pimento cheese, and sandwiches. I don’t care for the salad dressings. Fortunately, with the tasty salad, I didn’t really need it.
The staff was polite and quick. Both times I went, the dining room was fairly empty. This is a great spot to have lunch and work on a couple of things or just catch up with friends.

I got lunch to go but I wish I would have stayed and eaten there. The atmosphere is very laid back and the space is great. There were lots of kids and families lunching inside and on the patio. They even had Memphis made on tap. The greek salad was wonderful! The garden sandwich was ok… nothing spectacular. It could have used some pesto or something. The bread was great, though. Everything was VERY fresh and it looked like there were tons of options. Too bad I discovered this the week I moved away from Memphis :-(

I love Cheffie’s!!! It’s a great lunch, but we love it for dinner, too. There are a lottttt of healthy options! Wednesday night is Wine Wednesday and all glasses of wine are $ 2.00 off! They also serve a variety of beers. You can choose their menu items or you can make your own! Get to Cheffie’s!!!

Believe it or not, I do crave salad every once in a while. Like a dog eating grass, you know something is up. I heard about this place through Joelle P, who may or may not be the Duchess. So one day (either before or during work), we had met up here.
Nestled on a street corner right in the High Point neighborhood, there are a few shops joined with it. Cheffie’s looks the newest out of all of the places. When you walk you are greeted with light colored woods and exposed ceilings. There is stuff on the left, but I never ventured over on that side of the restaurant.
There is a large menu on the wall of salads and sandwiches, and I am sure other stuff too, but once I saw the words «Caesar salad» I quit looking. They ask for your order and tell em what you want, and you can pretty much customize it how you like. If you get it to dine in, you get some big ass bowl they serve it in.
For a salad and a soft drink, it came to $ 9.83, not bad since they sell Coke and refills. They also sell chips cookies beer and wine as well. I think they have a patio, but I never took advantage of it.
When I sat down to eat, I realized how big the damn bowl was. I tried and tried, but I couldn’t eat all of it! It was a pretty decent salad, but for some reason, my hollow leg wasn’t open that day.
The tables are pretty big, especially for 2 people, so that is nice. The chairs are comfy but odd at the same time– I thought I was going to break them when I sat in them– thankfully that never happened.
You could sit here all afternoon if you wanted to. The people are friendly and the place just overall seems relaxing. This place is solid!

If you live in Highpoint Terrace, ride your bike over to Cheffie’s! I love this neighborhood restaurant that is right off the green line.
The atmosphere is great with exposed brick and a cement floor.
There isn’t waiter service. Instead you walk through a cafeteria line, which can be confusing your first time. The seating is also cafeteria style, so you’re sitting with strangers (don’t worry, it’s fun not awkward).
Try any of the salads; they are huge and amazing!
