And you'll have a lot of time to do that, because this restaurant is always packed. My wife and I have had to wait between 30 minutes and an hour every time we've gone. The cheese dip is great, and I'm a big fan of the mushroom fajitas, but otherwise this is just your average restaurant. less
Rum Boogie Cafe	Memphis, TN

It''s one of the first restaurants that opened after Memphis began redeveloping Beale Street into a tourist haven. So it's not so overrun as nearby Hard Rock or Have a Nice Day. But it's usually crowded and the atmosphere is unforgettable. I met Rufus Thomas there. The food is average, but the atmosphere makes this place memorable. less

The place is funky and fun, and I highly recommend sitting out on the patio. It's the best place in Memphis to kick back with a Corona or margarita. The vegetarian burrito is good, but watch out for any item with spinach; I think they use canned spinach. But overall, a great place with good food. less
Cafe Society	Memphis, TN
A small but memorable restaurant. The service is friendly and the food is outstanding. The place has a really elegant feel to it, and you see a lot of people going here before the theatre. A hidden treasure, but worth the search.
Bela'	Memphis, TN
A fine restaurant, but not the best in town. I particularly liked some of the spicier entrees, but I found the vegetables to be less crunchy than I prefer. A nice place to take a date, but not the place to propose.
Frank Grisanti At Embassy Ste	Memphis, TN
Our favorite Italian restaurant in town! It has the same menu as Ronnie Grissanti's in Midtown, but the service is much better! The hotel atmosphere is a bit disconcerting, but the food is spectacular. Try some of the spicier entrees. It has the ... more Our favorite Italian restaurant in town! It has the same menu as Ronnie Grissanti's in Midtown, but the service is much better! The hotel atmosphere is a bit disconcerting, but the food is spectacular. Try some of the spicier entrees. It has the best Caesar salad in town! Go there. You'll be glad. less

This restaurant offers a rich assortment of Italian food, but the overall flavors tend to be a bit more bland than at Grissanti's or other Italian places in town. It's very crowded and lots of suburban Memphians really like this place, but I still think Frank's is better. Find out for yourself! less

This is a more casual version of the Frank and Ronnie Grisanti Italian food monolith that has taken over Memphis... thankfully. Fine service and a cozy atmosphere complement the tasty food.

Fine service and a cozy atmosphere complement the tasty food. Try some of the specials. They're most excellent. This place is so enjoyable that you might even forget you're on Germantown Parkway. less
