Most Popular Bar food in Memphis, Tennessee, United States
Reviews on Bar food in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. Memphis is a pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all recorded at the historic Sun Records, which is now a museum. Graceland, the second most-visited home in America, welcomes visitors from around the world who yearn for a peek into the life of "the King." Beyond the music, Tennessee's largest city also offers much more. It has more sunny days each year than Miami, and combines southern tradition and hospitality with modern amenities. You'll enjoy great dining (be sure to sample the barbecued ribs), art galleries and exciting nightlife.

The atmosphere is great. The tacos were ok but pretty small. I only ordered two and it wasnât enough. I had a special watermelon margarita that was underwhelming. We were seated in a sunroom area that got pretty uncomfortable (temp wise) by the time we left. OldLawHog, thank you for your review of Babalu. We are disappointed to hear that your dining experience with us was less than impressive. We would like to continue this conversation with you. At your earliest convenience, would you please email us at [email protected]? Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Hueyâs has been serving up Blues, Brews, & Burgers since 1970. Perhaps the most unique characteristics of our Hueyâs locations are the graffiti wall and shooting toothpicks into the ceiling! Our mouthwatering burgers have been voted Best Burger since 1984

An awful meal. Food is swimming in grease and not drained. I ordered butterfly shrimps which didn't taste very nice because of all the oil. They use frozen chips rather than fresh but they taste quite good. Wine is not available in a bottle but served up in a glass. Waitress service was good but the most horrible meal! Avoid!Katie, Thank you for visiting Huey's. We're so sorry to hear about this experience. Please know that we take all reviews very seriously and use it to continuously improve our services. We would like to discuss this with you more detail. I will send you a private message so we can talk. Thank you.

If your on beale Street and want solid food here's your place. Walk in, no reservations busy and noisy what more do you want if having a few beers and walking around for the night. Its great and the food is good, steaks are massive, and gumbo not bad, if your hungry you'll love it

We visited the Lafayette Music Room on the recommendation of a friend and planned on spending an evening there having dinner and listening to music. We took an Uber from our hotel to the venue and back. The good - Lafayette is a spacious venue with tables and seating on the main floor and the upstairs. There is also outdoor seating. The stage is relatively large so seeing the performers from either level is not a problem and the sound is well managed. The night we went the cover charge was a very reasonable $3.00 per person. Service was friendly and prompt. The venue has a full menu with plenty of selections. The chairs have metal seats. I did not find them uncomfortable but I noiced there was at least one person that brought along a cushion to sit on. When we arrived there was a jazz/blues group on stage on their last set. The group was good and we enjoyed the music. That group as followed by a singer songwriter backed up by a four piece band. The group was also good and we enjoyed listening to their music. The bad and the ugly - The following is the reason why I could not rate this venue higher than a three. When we arrived and were seated very close to the front and the interior bar. The first thing that struck us was how cold it was in the room. We were seated in direct line with the air conditioning duct and it was blowing very cold and very strong. After a few minutes the blast of cold air became untenable and we moved to another location that provided minor relief. We ended up eating our meal and trying to enjoy the music but were distracted by the frigid atmosphere.We noticed the bartender was bundled up and several patrons were wearing sweaters and/or light jackets. Mind you this was the deep south in mid - August. We ended up finishing our dinner and leaving just as the second act of the evening was beginning their second set. We had planned on stying through the entire show but it was just too cold and we could not relax and be comfortable.If you go to this venue bring along a sweater or light jacket.

After touring the Civil Rights Museum we wanted a place to relax & wind down; this was the ideal place a short walk from the museum. Our server, Alyssa, was great. My husband had the Italian Sandwich & I had the Penne Pasta, both were fabulous. The prices were extremely reasonable. It was a great find
