10 Places to Eat in Memphis, Tennessee

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!

Tops BBQ has good food!! Their cheeseburgers are cooked to order!!!

Local for all Memphis people like my self. The best breakfast in Memphis is Bryant's Breakfast on Summer ave.

I’ve heard cozy corner is one of the best for BBQ. Is this true?

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

Blue city Café on Bell Street.

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! 💖

Cozy corner has the best barbecue ribs and chicken in the city is in North Memphis minutes like not even minutes for like right around downtown like literally around the corner from downtown you walking in Memphis you walk around the corner your downtown

Don’t forget your bulletproof jacket

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!

Pancake Shop on Summer Memphis, my wife ate there so many times during her 1st pregnancy. We still go back a few times a year. Jerry Snow Cones are a long time family favorite.

God I love Memphis!

My friend and I had a bad experience in Rendezvous. It was also different eating a mustard slaw.😢

Dam right

I suggest the "Death by Gangster Gunfire" restaurant ! 😅

Cozy Corner is the best bbq in Memphis.

Central BBQ is definitely the top of the heap rn. Also, the people who own Gus's now own Leonard's BBQ, the oldest BBQ place in town. It's still really good and they just moved to a new location.. And ahy place that brands it'self as "hip" and "trendy" is just that. When everyone who wants to post a selfie of themselves eating there has done that, it will be gone.

Gus's! Mason Tn. Chicken, 40 ounce beers........nuff said right?! Ha! dont curse and keep your feet on the floor or find out why you should have! Dont know if it even exist anymore but THAT'S Gus's fried chicken. Thats the legendary legend!

Redezvous is not very good. They are over priced and their so called full rack of ribs is a half rack at most other restaurants. I was highly disappointed when I went several years ago. That's why it's important to ask the locals rather than the hype of things being called historical. Just because something has been around a long time doesn't mean it's good. It's average at best. I will never go again. Cozy Corner is the best barbecue in Memphis.

Rendezvous is such a tourist trap. It is a cool place atmospherically, but the food is pretty average and the barbecue has nothing on many of the other places in the city. Bar-B-Q Shop is definitely my recommendation. Cozy Corner is my second recommendation. Central, to me, is fast food barbecue, but as someone mentioned below, their smoked wings are amazing. Also, everyone talks about Gus's, but the best chicken is town is at Uncle Lou's.

Patrick's Restaurant, Paradise Cafe, Dim Sum Cafe, Buckley's Restaurant, Side Porch.

Missy left central!! No flavor

Are they handicap accessible

Thanks for highlighting BBQ Spaghetti! A Memphis Classic! ❤

You can go to messages and not try their very own barbecue

Central is awesome. If you like heavy smoke Corky's BBQ is the place

In the summer the lines are sooo long at Jerry's snow cones. I've only been twice and stay right around the corner! I have to go more often especially on warm days.

Firstly, I have to say that I loved visiting Memphis. I also enjoyed my BBQ ribs at Cental BBQ. However, the service was atrocious, the mac and cheese tasted like it came out of a packet and the price of the food was just unbelievably expensive! Even though the exchange rate between England and the USA is rubbish.....thank you Tory Politicians......it would still have been over priced otherwise!!

Go to Chattanooga and sample the food, sprits and town. Pretty good.

the fact that you did NOT mention Corky's means you really do know what you're talking about esp being able to separate fact from fiction.

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 😉.

As someone from Memphis, and somewhat of a foodie, the best place for Pizza in town is actually the Memphis Chess Club located downtown. 100% recommended

umm, drrrool, I miss Rendezvous, best dry ribs. Hey, Don't forget Interstate BBQ and Neely's both started by same founder, Corky's BBQ, and there's another BBQ called Tops BBQ for BBQ sandwiches.

rendevouz... tourist trap for bbq

If only the old Service Cafe owned by George Vergos was still around. Mabel was the best waitress ever. I sure miss that place.

make more “places to eat” videos, they are awesome!

Rendezvous is not great, actually I didn’t like it. The Arcade is such a bad place too…
For better food, go to Germantown or East Memphis

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.

I spent a week in Memphis eating barbecue and of all the places I tried rendezvous was the worst barbecue in the city. Pigs on Beale street was the best.

Memphis BBQ Company is the very best for ribs. Not even close.

This entire video is just a tourist video. All the places listed, while fine on their own, are not the best. They just have history with them. It really hurts me that most videos send tourist to these places because they don't have the greatest BBQ nor even the greatest food. Being a Memphian the only place they mentioned that I liked was Central BBQ. My recommendations? Payne's BBQ has the greatest BBQ. Central BBQ - The one on Summer Avenue - doesn't compare to Payne's but it's a nice second I guess; I like they're wings. Hattie's Fried Chicken is good though I don't know if it's native to Memphis. Gus's is really meh. I had their chicken once and wasn't worth the hype. Muddy's Bake Shop is great. I'd eat Krispy Kreme before I'd eat Gibson's Donuts.

Great video! You hit a lot of the good spots. AR bbq, One and Only, Meccos has great snow cones, shakes and sundaes! Just tried Jerry’s today, it was good but not like Meccos!! Memphis does have great BBQ!!!Tops is also good!

Should do one for Nashville

Wiseacre Brewing Co., Andrew Michael restaurants, Young Ave Deli has the best bar food with The Cove having some of the best cocktails in the city.

Actually Gradys and Lils were the first place I had barbecue spaghetti, that was the seventies. The best Donuts was Thorntons on Lamar and a bakery on Madison Avenue downtown, can't remember the name also had the best Donuts. The best barbecue joints are long gone. Locations were all over the city. Now I don't care whether you are at home or visiting another city enjoy it,if you don't like it just don't waste your time and money.ever again.

I've lived in the Memphis area most of my life and I can confidently say it's like no other city! Come for the food, stay because you got carjacked and stabbed 😂

Man there's so many more then just "10 hot spots". Tops BBQ, Interstate BBQ, Brad's BBQ, Momma's BBQ, Memphis BBQ Co. In Southaven MS, so many food trucks that will blow your mind! Wings galore like JD's wings 😋 not to mention some delicious steakhouses. Can't leave out the Korean BBQ and Japanese sushi/samshi spots. Right at summer and 240 Ryu's has the best sushi. Try the fried Godzilla it will change your life. Plenty of curry to eat if you like it. So much food I gained 12 pounds talking bout it. Don't forget the soul foods too!

Dominick distillery don't offer much but a whiskey "hotty toddy" and vodka. They have a restaurant as well.

Hey from Memphis. Well, actually Southaven, MS (considered South Memphis) just across the state line. Love following you around the country.

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