DejaVu Creole Soul Food & Vegetarian Restaurant Description:
Located in a former downtown church house, this Memphis eatery packs them in at lunch. Though Southern-style cooking isn't typically vegetarian-friendly, the menu at this modest "soul food" joint features meat entrées and daily vegan specials. To make both sides happy, all of the side dishes---red beans and rice, collard greens, smothered okra--are free of meat and animal by-products. Chef Gary Williams dishes out such classic Southern favorites as chicken-and-dressing, grilled tilapia, and chicken wings. Meatless mains include barbecue tofu, fried veggie rolls, and a mock chicken salad sandwich that could fool any omnivore. Both meat-centric and vegetarian dishes are served with a choice of two sides. All desserts offered---including a rich chocolate cake with strawberry sauce---are vegan. Word of advice: Arrive a little before noon (or go for a late lunch after 1 p.m.) to get a table since the tiny eatery fills up fast.
