Loving Memphis: A List of Bright Places to Enjoy and Meet People

Memphis, TN is a city known for four things that people typically know of before making any travel plans there: BBQ, blues, Elvis, and crime. I was raised in Memphis, and returned for two years after college graduation. I quickly realized how much easier it was to enjoy the city as a 21-year-old with a car than anyone under the age of 18. I have since maintained a list of the best and brightest places to visit based on my own experiences:

Restaurants:

Huey’s - This is hands-down my favorite place. Known for their burgers. I always get the World Famous Huey’s Burger and Tennessee Tea.

Osaka - A nice sushi and hibachi gem in Poplar Plaza. I recommend the Big Daddy sushi roll.

Bluff City Coffee - The cutest little coffee shop downtown! They get their pastries from a local baker, and offer homemade dog treats for your furry friends. The chai tea latte and all of the sandwiches are faithfully good.

The Green Beetle - Downtown on Main Street, this seems like a dive, but has food that’s rich in flavor. The Philly cheese steak, patty melt, hot wings, and fries are to die for!

Jim ‘n Nicks - BBQ win!

Central BBQ - Another BBQ win, but the dry rub especially!

Jerry’s Sno Cones - Crack in a cone in the depths of North Memphis.

Scoops - A black-owned gelato and crepe bar downtown. Red Wine Sorbet is my flavor of choice.

Onix - A black-owned soul food restaurant that features live bands. The sweet tea is everything, but the lemon pepper wings are good, too.

DeJa Vu - A black-owned New Orleans-style restaurant in downtown Memphis. Can be pricey, but the food’s delicious.

Coletta’s - An Italian restaurant in Bartlett with an old-school, family feel.

Happy Mexican - Guess the style? lol The staff is always friendly here, and the food and drinks never fail. I recommend the fajitas, quesadillas, Taquitos Mexicanos (my fav), and the Margarita Dip! Also, please drink a Walk Me Down while you’re there. Thank me later.

Boscoe’s Squared - A cool spot in Overton Square with a huge beer menu, cool brunch menu, and intimate seating.

Babalu - A Mexican-Cuban fusion restaurant in Overton Square known for their tapas. They have really good seasonal drinks around the holidays.

Sweet Noshings - A sweet shop in Overton Square with their own candy, chocolate, ice cream, and popcorn! Let your inner child run wild!

Don Don’s Hot Wings - Wangs and thangs.

Dixie Queen - Absolutely love their lemon pepper and honey gold wings, their seasoned fries, and their lemonade.

Rendezvous is our claim to fame a la Food Network. I’ve also heard fabulous things about Southern Hands.

Tourist Attractions:

Stax Museum - An incredible history of the music of the South, particularly Memphis and Stax Records artists, starting all the way back with the significance of “field songs.” It’s beautiful and so enlightening.

National Civil Rights Museum - Fun fact: I worked here as a tour guide for a year. Your experience touring the museum after its renovation will be much better than mine working there, lol. But it’s extremely profound and an experience the whole family can appreciate and learn from.

Woodruff-Fontaine House - A cool Victorian house for an old, famous family in Memphis, known for its architecture, décor, and hauntings.

Slave Haven - A small house-turned-museum that allegedly served as a safe house for slaves traveling on the underground railroad. Historical accuracy is contested, but still cool to see.

Yes, Gracelend is here, but most natives have never been! There are also the Blues Hall of Fame and Memphis Rock ‘n Soul Museum.

Bars, Clubs, & Lounges:

Fox & Hound - If you’re a foxy lady or hound dog who likes great drinks, sports on every flatscreen, and pool, this is the place for you. I always go for the beer-battered fish and chips, and the Kryptonite ‘Rita.

Greencork Wine Bar (closed until 2018) - A snazzy little spot near the Cooper-Young district that allows you to buy a card to test out wines from about 20 dispensaries as you lounge by the fire or sit at tall tables with friends. Food options are more expensive than they’re worth, though, and you’ll need to know which types of wines you favor before testing to get more bang for your buck.

Club Love / Love Lounge - A recent business development, this lounge that typically caters to the 30s+ crowd is an excellent mix of throwback jams and new music as the night goes on. If you want a more sophisticated night out, this place is great. Hosted my 23rd birthday here.

Mollie Fontaine Lounge - Across the street from the Woodruff-Fontaine House, this historic home turns into a lounge at night with great truffle fries, girls dressed as vampires, and men Vogue-ing. It’s lit!

Wet Willie’s - While the history behind this place is pretty ugly (see Ida B. Wells placard outside), it now serves as the best place for a frozen alcoholic beverages. The Bob Marley is where it’s at! I once went with the girls, recognized a guy I knew having a birthday outing, and his crew bought 20 jello shots for us all to share. Such is the Beale Street party life.

Peabody Rooftop - This is something different. You can see the sun set, hear cool live bands, and enjoy drinks and complimentary food if you’re there on time when it starts. Great chance to be with a different crowd and have some fresh air as you sweat out the liquors, lol.

Arts & Entertainment:

Studio on the Square - A quirky, old-school theater in Overton Square that serves alcohol and real food to go along with your movie. Along with typical showings, has indie films and other cool stuff.

Paradiso Theatre - Styled like an Italian villa, this theatre also serves alcohol to accompany your film.

Hollywood 20 Cinema - More in my neck of the woods, aka in Bartlett.

Hattiloo Theatre - A black-owned performing arts theatre that hosts plays and musicals with African-American casts and narratives, as well as panel discussions and other events with topics related to the black community.

Playhouse on the Square - A theater in Overton Square.

Crosstown Arts - An art gallery in the Sears-Crosstown area that hosts changing art exhibits and other artsy-fartsy events.

Rumba Room - A nightclub that specializes in salsa dance lessons and Latin foods, while also hosting poetry nights and dance recitals from other companies and troupes around the city.

We’re also home to the Indie Memphis Film Festival and On Location: International Film & Music Festival. That scene is slowly building.

Nature:

Memphis Botanical Gardens - Make sure you go in full bloom or else it’s like your backyard, lol. But it’s really great, with a relaxed path through the entire thing as well as a Japanese garden bridge. I also enjoy their on-location restaurant Fratelli’s.

Shelby Farms - This huge, huge, huge plot of land is the best place for a wide variety of hiking and running trails. They’re also home to the Starry Nights drive for Christmas, and Earth Day in April.

W. J. Freeman Park - This little park is tucked into Bartlett, and it’s usually empty if you want some privacy for a quick jog or to walk the dog.

Mississippi River Walk - Beautiful and serene location if you want to go for a walk near some water. Just don’t stay too long into the night or when it’s storming, for obvious reasons.

Shopping:

Wolfchase Galleria

Wolfchase Commons

Collierville Carriage Crossing

Poplar Plaza

Polish Girl - A black-owned nail shop with cool sugar scrubs, mixed drinks, and a playlist that your girlfriends will enjoy.

Diva Nails - An Asian-owned nail shop designed like a Venetian spa.

Events:

Grizzlies Games - Basketball is what makes the world go ‘round here.

Redbirds Games - Good family or work event if it’s not too hot out. If so, wear a hat to shade yourself and buy some frozen pink lemonade.

Africa in April - A festival of art, food, and performances celebrating the diversity of Africa in Robert Church Park downtown!

Latino Memphis Festival - A festival of the same things, but in Overton Park with the country of celebration changing every year!

Events on my to-do list are Beale Street Music Festival, Latino Memphis Dia de los Muertos, Curtis Givens All White and All Black Affairs, Omega Psi Phi Sundresses & Linen Party, Best in Black Awards, 40 Under 40 Urban Elite, and Wine on the River.

That concludes my recommendations, everyone. A lot of things are coming to Memphis in 2017, so keep your eyes peeled for new adventures in the 901. I can’t wait to explore even more places to add to this list. Enjoy!

What. A. Week.

This work week has been CRAZY. I worked late Tuesday, Wednesday and will do so again Thursday. To top THAT off, I had to spend two hours on a conference call evaluating a new software application. “Can it do this? Can it do that? How does this work?” If new technology can make my job easier and the customers experience better, I am all for it.

So let me recap. Last Saturday I…

Here are the more than 35 Memphis burgers that you absolutely have to try. These best Memphis hamburgers and cheeseburgers are in no particular order. I list my personal favorites and controversial opinions at the bottom of this post. This certainly isn’t everywhere you can get a Memphis, or leave your favorite in the comments! You can click on the links for more information about the best Memphis burgers. A Mr. Goodburger from Roxie’s Grocery: a greasy, gooey, beloved Memphis burger in Uptown. The West Coast Burger from Huey’s (Memphis’ classic burger restaurant, with locations across the Mid-South) comes with all the fixings, plus guacamole and Monterey Jack cheese. The BBQ Burger from Tops, a greasy griddle burger topped with pulled pork, is a local favorite. Get the Greek Burger from Alex’s Tavern: legendary, juicy, and served with Greek seasoning and cheese. Cash only and available very late. Order a Soul Burger from Earnestine & Hazel’s, a Memphis burger classic, griddle fried with all the toppings (cheese, onions, and pickles, if you like) melted all together. Go for an Original Jerry’s Burger from Jerry’s Sno Cones. Did you know the infamous Memphis sno cone stand has more than just cold treats? Try the Good Night/Good Cause from Hopdoddy. Yes, it’s a chain, but $1 of proceeds for this particular burger (with cheddar, caramelized onions, caffeinated BBQ, jalapeños) are donated back to the Stax Academy. Burger from Hopdoddy Mojo Cheeseburger from Memphis Mojo Cafe in Bartlett is a solid choice, or you can go for one of their more adventurous burgers with all kinds of toppings. Find the Gourmade Burger from Gourmade Food Truck at breweries and fests around town. The Beetle Burger is from the Green Beetle, downtown’s oldest tavern. On Tuesdays, this Memphis burger is $7.99 with fries. Do the Double Double from Dyer’s – either on Beale Street or at their Collierville location. Fried in 100-year-old grease, this burger comes with two patties and two slices of cheese. Eat a Bibimbap Burger from Kwik Chek, which adds bibimbap veggies and a fried egg to a grilled cheeseburger. The Wimpy from Wimpy’s – which you can get in midtown or Southaven – is a classic grilled cheeseburger with whatever toppings you can handle. Get a side of sweet potato fries with praline sauce. The Whiskey Burger from the Flying Saucer downtown: it’s a chain, but Memphis is the only location with a menu of gourmet-style burgers. The Poutine Burger from Kooky Canuck is available at their downtown and Cordova locations, and it’s topped with Canadian-style fries + gravy + cheese curds poutine. The Big Deuce from the Slider Inn in midtown may not count technically as a burger even though it’s got two patties, cheese, and all the fixings, but it won’t hurt anyone to be on this list, right? (The parameters of what constitutes a Memphis burger sound like a debate we can have another time, preferably while consuming said burgers/alleged burgers.) The LBOE Burger, from LBOE just west of Overton Square in midtown Memphis, goes all out with Havarti, garlic cream, bacon, green chilies, and yes, corn chips! The Last-Burger-On-Earth folks took home the trophy for “Best Burger” at the World Food Championships last fall, so you know they’re for real. The John T. Edge Burger from Hog & Hominy is named for the famous food journalist and is included on a couple of “best burgers in the country” lists. The Pub Burger at Local Gastropub (Overton or Main Street) is good for $6.99 (with fries) during lunch and all day on Mondays. Nice. Grab a Vault Cheeseburger from The Vault on South Main, which comes with bacon and spicy mayo on a Broiche bun. Babalu Burger from Babalu is available at their Overton Square and East Memphis locations, and people really love it. Get a Sidestreet Burger from Sidestreet Burgers in Olive Branch, Mississippi, perhaps paired with a beer from the MS Ale House next door. Go for a Prime Burger from 117 Prime, which comes with Jarlsberg, sauteéd mushrooms, and Dijonaise. The Bomba-B Burger from Sabor Caribe in the Medical District is more than your average burger; this Memphis Venezuelan restaurant adds all kinds of stuff to their burger including but not limited to an egg, salami, avocado, and slaw. The Southern Gentleman from Belly Acres in Overton Square comes with greens, bacon, and sweet potato. Chef José’s Sirloin Burger from River Oaks in East Memphis: it’s a thick, juicy patty on a crusty bun with your choice of cheese. The No. 1 Farm Burger can be found in the Crosstown Concourse. It’s a chain, but they are all about that grassfed local beef, so here they are. The Homestyle Seasoned Burger from Young Avenue Deli goes beyond the cheese sticks and fries you love, with a half-pound patty – add cheese (or pimento cheese if you’re feeling frisky). Get the Stuffed Burger from Mot & Ed’s Southern Eatery – you have the choice of Angus or Turkey patty. (temporarily closed while they move to a new location) Try the Pimento Cheeseburger from Sweet Grass Next Door, topped with house-made pimento cheese. Go for an Awesome Sauce Burger from Buon Cibo in Hernando, Miss. This burger comes topped with fried onions, bacon jam, and piquillo pepper aioli. Eat the Chopped Steak Burger from Off The Hook in Arlington, which is top rated by local burger experts. The Wing Guru’s speciality is obviously chicken wings, but please don’t sleep on their Cheesburger. I bet 75 percent of restaurants in Memphis serve hamburgers, so this isn’t a list of every place to get a burger in Memphis. That list would take forever, and I got more stuff to write about today, y’all. I’m already thinking of several spots that have a decent burger that could (and maybe will) be added. But, as promised, the juicy, greasy details…guaranteed to make someone mad. If you follow me on Twitter you’ve heard this all before. I know a lot of people go for Tops, and rave about Babalu and hate on various “best of” winners every year; everyone has their own passionate and perfectly valid opinions. So here are mine: Brass Door’s classic cheeseburger has been perfectly cooked, juicy, and delicious every time (sadly, they’re temporarily closed). Flying Saucer downtown brought back that thick gastropub burger with the froufrou toppings and I. am. here. for. it. Back during the Foodnado of ’14 when a bunch of burger places opened, I thought LBOE had the best of the bunch- I actually loved the Fritos on it. For a greasy griddle burger, I crave Soul Burgers from E&H and Wimpy’s, and Sear Shack. I would probably marry the Alex’s Greek Burger if I could, but Roxie’s—my other love—would get too jealous.  I also really like Huey’s and eat their burgers and big fat onion rings on a regular basis. This post is about a) some of the well-known Memphis burgers, b) burgers endorsed by one of my trusted sources, and c) ones I have tried and think are worth you trying. Got one you adore that’s not on the list? Leave it in the comments! We’ll have the best comment section in town! Are you a home owner in Memphis, with a broken garage door?

Here’s a list of Memphis and Mid-South restaurants and whether they’re offering pickup, takeout, or delivery, or if they’ve opened their dining room. Be sure to wear a mask. It’s required in most places. Question: What restaurants are open for takeout or dine-in in Memphis and the Mid-South? Answer: See the list below for what restaurants are open in Memphis, Germantown, Collierville,  and the rest of the Mid-South. Masks: Required in certain areas. Wear them when not actively eating or drinking. Soi Number 9 food truck, Thai street food for take-out. I’m getting a lot of questions about which restaurants will do take out.

Just call ahead to your favorite places and arrange it. PLEASE TIP. These restaurant employees risk their health to serve you in a very difficult situation.

Updated August 2020 Ed. Note: Restaurants are FREQUENTLY changing their hours, open status, dog-friendly status, and patio availability due to the pandemic. We are trying to keep up with information but things change hourly. For that reason, I recommend calling the restaurant for the most up-to-date info! Here it is: Memphis area patios, listed (generally) by neighborhood. I will continue to update this list of patios, so if left off your favorite patio all you have to do is leave me a comment! Belly Acres I’ve created this based on older posts about patios here, here, and here, and many, many more. While those other blog posts give a bit more commentary on the patios and have more pictures, this post you’re reading right now is meant to be more of a big reference list of patios. I have added *dog friendly if the restaurants allowed leashed dogs on their patios. Some of these patios are big, some are tiny, some are just table or two, some are covered or partially enclosed, and some patios are not. I can’t control when a restaurant decides to open their patio or not, so call ahead if you have a doubt. Many of these places technically do allow smoking outside, so call ahead if  that’s a dealbreaker for you. If there’s a place I think you’re likely to encounter smoking, I’ve made that note. OK, without further ado, here’s a list of patios in Memphis, including pet friendly patios and Memphis dog friendly patios. Sunglasses on, bottoms up. Downtown – Loflin Yard *dog friendly (the whole place is basically a patio) – Central BBQ Downtown *midtown and downtown locations are dog friendly – Automatic Slim’s (just a few tables)  – Terrace at the River Inn (the covered rooftop bar/restaurant at The River Inn at Harbor Town) – Blue Monkey Downtown (might be some smoking) temporarily closed – Cafe Eclectic Harbor Town – Lunchbox Eats patio is temporarily closed, sometimes to-go orders available – Momma’s *dog friendly (might be some smoking) temporarily closed  – Carolina Watershed (open Fri-Sun. only) – Old Dominick Distillery (rooftop access via the upstairs bar when it’s open) temporarily closed – The Greyhound at Hilton Garden Inn *dog friendly temporarily closed – Slider Inn Downtown *dog friendly Main Street – Felicia Suzanne’s *dog friendly (water bowls sometimes available) – Cafe Keough – Maciel’s *dog friendly (just a few tables)  – Aldo’s *dog friendly – Local Gastropub *dog friendly – Blind Bear Speakeasy (might be some smoking) temporarily closed – Blue Fin – Majestic Grille *dog friendly temporarily operating as Cocozza American Italian/temporarily closed – South of Beale *dog friendly – Green Beetle *dog friendly – Bluff City Coffee – Rizzo’s (just a few tables) – Max’s Sports Bar *dog friendly when they’re not crowded (might be some smoking) temporarily closed  – Ghost River Brewing Taproom *dog friendly patio temporarily closed, you can still pick up beer curbside – Pontotoc Lounge (just a few tables – call ahead for dog-friendly patio info) temporarily closed – The Vault *dog friendly – Hu.

Call ahead to be sure. – Slider Inn *dog friendly – Cafe Eclectic Midtown – Huey’s Midtown – Railgarten *dog friendly – I Love Juice Bar – Blue Monkey Midtown (might be some smoking) –  Hattie B’s Cooper Young – most everywhere has at least a few tables outside  – Memphis Made Brewing taproom *dog friendly – Beauty Shop / DKDC (there will 100% be some smoking late-night at DKDC) – Tsunami – Alchemy *dog friendly – Hammer & Ale *dog friendly – Mulan *dog friendly – Sweet Grass Next Door *dog friendly – Young Ave. Deli *dog friendly (might be some smoking) – Cafe Ole *dog friendly (might be some smoking) – Celtic Crossing *dog friendly (might be some smoking) – Stone Soup Cafe *dog friendly – Soul Fish Cafe *dog friendly Loflin Yard Overton Square – Babalu – Second Line *dog friendly, please inform the hostess you have your furry friend with you – Memphis Pizza Cafe Midtown (2087 Madison Ave.) *dog friendly – Bayou Bar and Grill – Bosco’s – Local on the Square *dog friendly – Deli on the Square *dog friendly – Side Street Grill (might be some smoking) – Lafayette’s Music Room – Belly Acres *dog friendly – Robata *dog friendly – Hopdoddy – Saltwater Crab Broad Avenue – Maximo’s on Broad – City & State *dog friendly – Wiseacre Taproom *very dog friendly, like, so many dogs – The Cove  *dog friendly (likely to be some smoking) – The Liquor Store *dog friendly Wiseacre Taproom East Memphis – Lost Pizza Co. *dog friendly – Cheffie’s *dog friendly – High Point Pizza *dog friendly – RP Tracks (likely be some smoking) – Swanky’s Taco Shop (4770 Poplar Avenue) – Memphis Sports Pub *dog friendly – Memphis Pizza Cafe Park Ave. (5061 Park Ave.) *dog friendly – Elwood’s Shack *dog friendly – Sam’s Deli *dog friendly – Ciao Bella – Las Delicias on Quince – Newby’s – The Bluff – The Casual Pint *dog friendly – La Michoacana – Cafe Eclectic U of M – ACRE – Ronnie Grisanti’s  – Gus’ World Famous Fried Chicken East Memphis – Lucchesi’s Beer Garden *dog friendly – Owen Brennan’s – Patrick’s – Los Jarochos – Mortimer’s *dog friendly Brookhaven Circle – Hog & Hominy *dog friendly (temporarily closed due to fire) – Brookhaven Pub (695 West Brookhaven Circle) *dog friendly – Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen – Bogie’s Deli – Fox Ridge Pizza Hammer & Ale Suburbs – The Half Shell Southwind (7825 Winchester Rd.) – Huey’s – pretty much all the Huey’s – East End Grill – both Bartlett and Southwind locations – Casablanca (7609 Poplar Pike) – Russo’s New York Pizzeria in Germantown (9087 Poplar Ave. #111) *dog friendly – Mesquite Chop House in Germantown (3165 S. Forest Hill Irene Rd.) – Mellow Mushroom in Germantown (9155 Poplar)** *dog friendly – Kooky Canuck in Cordova (1250 N.

When I started to update the old posts and realized I’d gotten past 100 total patios, I got worried the list was too long. So, I did what I always do when I’m wondering something and I posed the question to Twitter: How many patios are too many patios for a list of MidSouth patios?
