There are a few locations in Memphis. (There is a location on Central Avenue that is the closest one to the house.) The downtown location is walking distance to the Civil Rights Museum - literally across the street. They're known for their ribs and BBQ nachos, and they have many local beers on tap.

Somewhat of a hole in the wall spot that has gotten tons of accolades. The original location was across the street, but it caught fire, so the new location isn't as homely as the original, but still don't expect too much with the ambiance or the location. However, the food is delicious. No alcohol.

The best fried fish in the city. There are many locations, but the Cooper Street location is close to the house. Depending on what time you go, the wait here and at Gus’ can be a bit much, but during the week you should be fine.
