Restaurants & Bars
Earnestine & Hazel’s, like many other Memphis bars, is housed in a building that has a lot of history behind it. The building was formerly a pharmacy, then a cafe and lastly a brothel, but it’s now Memphis’ favorite dive bar and juke joint.
Though the beer list isn’t as long as in some bars, all the domestic and foreign standards are available. For food, don’t miss the legendary “Soul Burger.” The secret “Soul Sauce” is what takes this burger from simple to extraordinary.
Another main feature of this place is its excellent jukebox. Live music is played on the second floor. You may need to be just wary, though: this place is also known as America’s most haunted bar.

Open on South Main Street since 1919, The Arcade is Memphis’ oldest operating restaurant and a local institution. It’s also the restaurant where Elvis Presley ate fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches while sitting in a blue booth.
Now, a century after Arcade opened, third generation owner Harry Zepatos Jr. runs The Arcade as a modern diner. However, he hasn’t forgotten the past – Elvis’ booth is still intact and his PB&B sandwich remains on the menu.

When it opened, Slider Inn’s main draw was the Lobster Roll (the only one in the Mid-South, made with lobster flown in from Maine three times a week).

Housed in a space that was once an actual beauty shop frequented by Priscilla Presley, this eatery from celebrated Memphis restaurateur Karen Carrier is suffused with aesthetic details you just won’t find at another Memphis restaurant. Booths are tucked into former salon stations, with seating beneath hooded Belvedere hair dryers.
But the best part is, of course, the food. “Watermelon and wings” is a good example of the type of eclectic dish you’ll find here: chicken wings dipped in white Sichuan pepper and sweet chile lime juice, dusted with sugar, and then deep-fried, served with a side of fresh watermelon and sprinkled with toasted cashews.

Memphis chief Felicia Willett has owned and operated her eponymous fine dining establishment in Downtown for almost 20 years.
The menu showcases her own creative riffs on classics from across the South, along with dishes inspired by her childhood. That translates to a unique mashup of Gulf Coast seafood cooking, Creole cuisine, and Charleston low country traditions. Willett is also a familiar face at the Memphis Farmers Market, a result of her insistence on a farm-to-fork tradition in as much of her menu as possible — a menu, by the way, that serves up such treats as crispy Gulf oysters with New Orleans BBQ sauce, chicken crepes, fried Carolina quail, shrimp and grits, roasted salmon, and duck and mushroom lasagna, to name a few favorites.

Itta Bena (above BB King’s Blues Club) is always a good happy hour option. Open nightly from 5pm-10pm, it’s a very come-as-you-are joint, despite the swanky vibe. Take the fire escape up and arrive before the sun sets so you can bask in the blue glow of the majestic room.
The center bar offers plenty of seating and friendly service. Live music starts around 6pm-7pm and enhances conversation rather than drowning it out. Chances are you’ll want to stay for dinner, or at the very least for a bowl of the famous She-Crab soup.

Payne’s is neither fancy nor conveniently located. Instead, this ramshackle restaurant operates in a former gas station about four miles from the center of town. Other than red-checkered tablecloths and a few flowers, the decor hasn’t changed much since the Payne family starting barbecuing meat with hickory coals in 1972.
At Payne’s, it’s all about the food. Famous for its pork sandwiches and bright yellow coleslaw, this barbecue joint finishes their ribs to a slight char before smothering them in a spicy vinegar sauce. Payne’s also adds mustard to their coleslaw, a practice that sounds weird but works as a zingy flavor enhancer.
