Eating in Memphis is an experience for the soul. Our specialty may be barbecue — Memphis is home to more than 100 barbecue restaurants — but make no bones about it: Dining out in Memphis doesn’t stop at ‘cue. We dish up soul food, fine dining, twists on Southern classics, authentic Italian and Mexican cuisine, burgers, wings, vegan fare and so much more – there’s a diverse culinary story to tell. And our award-winning chefs and restaurateurs, brewers and distillers will welcome you with a dose of Southern hospitality every time.
Beyond feeding your soul, we’ll serve up a side of music and an energy that is unlike any other destination. After all, we are the home of the blues, soul and rock and roll. We’re home to legends like Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Three 6 Mafia and Justin Timberlake – with plenty of options to learn music history, whether it’s at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, by visiting Graceland, or just by seeing and hearing live music on Beale Street any night of the week.
