BBQ
A local, hole-in-the-wall BBQ place. Only open for a few hours day, and that’s during lunch, so check the time before you go.

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.

Breakfast/Brunch
Near the University of Memphis. Very hefty breakfast. Known for their omelets, open-faced omelets. The line can be somewhat outrageous sometimes, though.

You actually have to go here. It’s as important as the BBQ. Only go to the downtown location.

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.

A bit further out (and more expensive) than other spots on the list. An interesting mix of southern and Italian food, but quite delicious.
