Memphis Restaurants

... hotel (The Clay Hotel). It is in a great location just a couple of blocks back from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. Today we have just been wandering around the local area. We decided to hire a car for the next week as transport is very ...

... .... Not sure at what time it starts, but at a certain time several blocks of Beale St. are blocked off. There are bars, restaurants, shops, etc. and you can walk up and down with your drinks ala Vegas. The majority of the restaurants are BBQ and southern ...

... a terrible time finding the hotel - had to all and get additional directions - I would have NEVER found it otherwise. And the only restaurants in the area were closed - so it was cheese and crackers from the gas station, and a (lukewarm) shower. Oh ...

... so far we are getting quite hungry. After walking around so called Main Street for about 20 minutes, with only closed stores and restaurants, we found something that caught our interest: Beale Street. We found an Irish Pub, with live music, and we sat ...

... them), looked suitable for a family, and that didn't have loud music blaring - harder to find than it sounds! Quite a few of the restaurants/bars had people outside trying to convince you to come in. In the end we got sick of walking around (it was HOT) ...

... is better.  But, as we only had one night in Memphis, we had to go to the Rendezvous.  How many packed restaurants are hidden away in alleys?  And being from a place that takes its barbecue only marginally seriously, we are pretty easy to ...

... peddling back to segregation in the early 20th century. There were plenty of examples of segregation in schools, buses, restaurants and public places. In Birmingham, Alabama the mayor received praise from the community for closing the public parks rather ...

... tour also walked along the famous Beale Street, an important area in African-American history that sports many blues clubs and Southern restaurants, such as Blues City Café & Band Box, where many enjoyed lunch. Monday evening’s concert was held ...

... moneyed live.  Tonight we checked out the famous Beale Street, Home of the Blues, a three-block mecca of restaurants, bars, and music venues, very similar to Bourbon Street in New Orleans. In its earlier days, this was a primarily black ...

... in Memphis was a lot better than what I thought it would be. It really wasn't very different from Nashville, just a lot of restaurants and bars but there was one thing that made it different from the previous city. Instead of sitting on the corner begging ...

... along the great river. We spent an evening on Beale street where Memphis' "soul" can be felt the most - in the bars and restaurants that line the street and play host to live bands, both upcoming acts and cover bands. We popped into "Coyote Ugly" for a ...

... its bustle and variety and, yes, money.  The downtown is alive with tourists and people going to the numerous good  restaurants, but it's still in the process of being gentrified, not fully occupied. And  heat envelopes you like a warm ...

... separate museum for his cars (finally garaged), more costumes, two of his jets on display, Sirius radio station, at least four restaurants and twice as many gift shops…Graceland is quite the enterprise, Lisa Marie is set for life.  Off to ...

... in Memphis better than I can in my actual home town! On this trip, I'm trying to "do Memphis" differently. Instead of going to all of my pet restaurants, I'm working to find some new favorites. So far, I have found one, Las Tortugas Deli ...

... to car traffic, with police barriers set up around the perimeter. But once inside, it was one huge party. Bars and restaurants lined the colorful blocks. Live bands were rocking outdoor patios and bar stages left and right. The bars all had windows ...

... walk past! This seems to be in A LOT of public restrooms, in Rest Areas off the side of highways, and in restaurants. Some sort of security measure?? Who knows. Another pain: Highway signs/numbers that are all clustered together, so it's difficult to ...

... laughed off of 'Cribs'. We had lunch in one of the two diners on the museum site and it was good to find that the restaurants were doing 'home-cooked' food instead of the fast food (albeit Taco Bell and IHOP - not just McDonalds).  D and Yvonne had ...

... soul and R & B fans. It was the black culture in the 20's that gave the street its fame, now full of bars, clubs restaurants and live music. At the trolley stop on the way there, we were "engaged" by an old black panhandler, who claimed he had helped ...

... shady tree and set off to explore Memphis!  Our destination was Beale Street, home to the "blues", with music, clubs and restaurants.  Our first stop was dinner at Pigs on Beale.  We ate great Memphis BBQ and enjoyed watching the street ...

... flowing backwards! It's time to reevaluate our priorities. We are staying in part of the large Graceland complex that includes restaurants, hotel, museums, gift shops, yadda, yadda, yadda. The RV park is a short walk from the Graceland ticket ...

... is more expensive (nearly double the price) than taking an interstate bus, go figure that. Memphis is very nice and hot. Lots more shops and restaurants (I use that term lightly) here than in Birmingham. Unfortunately there is limited internet access ...
