Tam's Backstage

We came here as a group of 5. We all had the Stuffed Flounder + Steamed Vegetables. The flavor was amazing. As a Cajun from Louisiana, I had some reservations on the flavor, but I was wrong. The fish was beautifully deboned and the vegetables had decent seasoning. We finished with the Crème Brûlée which was detrimental to our calorie restraint. The entire dining experience was great!

We came on a Monday night, so there wasn't a wait. The service we received from Amber was great, too! I definitely recommend this location for a wonderful Monday night excursion in this area!

Fresh food presented well and so delicious. The waiter
was very helpful as to various entrees regarding ingredients. Very knowledgeable and experienced.
The restaurant is in an old elementary schoolhouse.

Our first time here, we frequented the other Tams Tupelo (now closed) for quite some time. It must be prom night here as there are many youngsters all decked out for the evening.

Short version: seated quickly with reservation, place was nearly full. Waitress came quickly and took our drink order. our apppetizer, calamari, entree roasted duck ravioli and carbonara pasta, added the three sausage creole gumbo side. The gumbo was very tasty, a light colored roux but great spice and flavors with some heat, very good. Both our entrees yielded leftovers as well and were very tasty, everything was very flavorful and spiced just right for our taste. Bread. Fresh out of the oven tasted yeast. Dessert key lime pie. Service and food were fantastic. We were done in 90 minutes. Priced very reasonable.

Long version: we arrived at 6:25 for our 6:30 reservation and were seated immediately. Only 2 tables open downstairs. Our waitress Kim came over to offer us drinks. She was back quickly and ready to take our appetizer order, and we ordered calamari. Prior to bringing out our appetizer, she took our entree order. We ordered the roasted duck ravioli, and I ordered the carbonara pasta, and we both added the three sausage creole gumbo side. When our appetizer arrived, it was very hot and a lot of food, enough for another meal. The breading was perfectly thin and crispy, cooked perfectly with a marinara dipping sauce that complimented the flavors, a very tasty appetizer. We did have to ask for bread, and the taste was heavy on the yeast. It was still good. Our entrees came and wow, very tasty. We finished up with a slice of key lime pie that had very good sweet and tart flavor, a perfect way to end the meal. A very nice evening service and food were great.

A few items are worth mentioning: Between the booths is a 3" wood place where a waiter at the table next to us kept slaming empty glasses down instead of holding onto them, very distracting and annoying since it was right at my shoulder.
The AC has one main duct, and it blows cold and far, but when it goes off, the temperature is comfortable. The guy next to us put on and took off his jacket no less than 5 times during our meal. So if you are prone to getting cold, come prepared.
A small thing but important to me, my water was empty for quite a while before someone noticed.
The last thing was, we had to ask for bread. Other tables got a basket with butter, where we got two rolls on a plate. I'm not sure what that is about.

We will be back as those are all small things but annoying at the same time.

Cute place trying to be more than it is. Had the stuffed mushroom app and it was flavorful, calamari was just ok but they definitely ride on the portion size. Really craved a steak tonight but decided not to because their two items were both "choice" cuts, lol my grocery store at least has select as their lowest option, so I found that to be really weird especially at these prices. Menu was NOT very creative; most items were essentially the same thing with one ingredient being different. Ordered a pasta dish, yikes they use dried herbs. Overall food was eh, can get the same at an Olive Garden but at least you get unlimited salad and breadsticks!
Highlights: wine/liquor prices HOLY COW super cheap! Not sure how they are making any money but get it while you can!! Just sit at bar, no food.
Service was decent enough nothing outstanding and nothing horrible. Don't expect them to give you a menu tour or highlight anything unless you inquire.

atmosphere and service was excellent!
Great date night. Thanks to the staff there. Very friendly and food was top notch. Seafood mushrooms, pink salmon and veggies cooked perfectly and good ticket times. Nice job y'all

Food - Service and Ambiance are all wonderful. This is kind of a hole-in-the-wall place but very worth the visit!

Been here a few times and always good food. Service is outstanding which to me as important as the food . The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food items. Drinks came out fast .

Service was below sub par, and the food was cold and was not very good. Most plates needed to be sent back. Thank with such poor service it sat a long time and got cold before it came to us. I would pass on this place.

Great food, upscale atmosphere. You'll always get great service. Be sure to check out the playhouse when you visit.

Awesome food and a great time had every time we go there. Why do I need to add 85 characters!!!!!!!
