10 Places to Eat in Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis, Tennessee is a fantastic city for food with some of the best BBQ in the United States. The city is home to many different types of food but BBQ is overwhelmingly the reason that people visit Memphis. I spent the better part of a week in the city and tried all sorts of restaurants ranging from a cafe that Elvis frequented to the creators of BBQ spaghetti. Here are some of my favorite spots and let me know what I left off in the comments.

We only send tourists to rendezvous. Much better ribs in a lot of other places. Gus, central, bbq shop, Jerry's are all good spots. The arcade is more of a tourist spot for the Elvis angle. If you want a really good breakfast go to Bryant's or the pancake shop on summer. The liquor store is a good spot and often over looked.

You may not be aware, but the guy that started Voodoo doughnuts is from Memphis and based his doughnuts on Gibson's recipe. They are truly unreal

I’m gonna be honest, rendezvous is a tourist spot, in my opinion one and only barbecue is the best in town, their pulled pork is amazing and their barbecue sauce is my all time favorite

Thanks for highlighting BBQ Spaghetti! A Memphis Classic! ❤

You did a great job hitting the “hot” spots! Memphis has some great dining spots! Too many for just a few days!

I don't know how you didn't include Corky's, my favorite BBQ by far.

I love BBQ Shop, and Central, Rendevouz is great for visitors, but Cozy Corner food must be sampled.

Just visited last weekend & Payne's was my favorite. Loved Cozy Corner & Central as well. Breakfast at Sunrise Memphis was SO good! Best grits I've EVER had! The food was so good in Memphis, I can't wait to go back!

The Pancake Shop - x-cellent.for breakfast and lunch (cash only), Jack’s Rib Shack, now gone, had the best Ribs for 20+ years. Fox Ridge Pizza. Uncle Lou’s Chicken and Crumpy’s Wings - so many

Rendezvous is overrated, in my opinion. I love Soul Fish Cafe, and Huey's is a local burger place with a lot of history.

This channel doesn't even need a fancy camera work, drones, cool music, fancy shots and complicated editing to keep me entertain. Sometimes I never realized some of their content is 1-2 hours long because every single clip keeps me interested. Thanks for taking us all the time in your trip 😉.

Take a ride to Marlowe’s for the great BBQ and especially if you’re an Elvis fan—they’ll pick you up in an EP-inspired pink limo! 💖

[dylanhatton]

Yeah you hit all the main spots! There are many other good restaurants in Memphis, especially around Overton Square that you missed, though.

Payne's and A&R are two more amazing barbecue joints... and they are joints... Payne's is located in what once was a two bay auto repair shop...

I love the look of the Cafe That Elvis loved to eat at 😊

[greggmorris]

The pro-move I'd recommend tourists is to order the smoked wings at Central BBQ. Also the cornish hen at Cozy Corner. There are a lot of good BBQ joints all throughout town that all do a very good job. I second the B-B-Q Shop from the video. But as much as I love Memphis BBQ, I'd get sick having pulled pork or ribs for every meal if I was doing a tour of the all the BBQ joints.

Thank you again for sharing so much with us !
I don't even wait until the end of your videos to hit the 'like' button anymore, I already know I am going to enjoy the video even before I watch it now.

Can't go wrong with any place that has delicious BBQ

[crazyadventures]

IMO, the best ribs on Beale Street is at Alfreds! Also, if you ever go back be sure to get a burger and deep fried twinkie from Dyers!
