Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Downtown

We are from Michigan and dined here a few years back and loved this restaurant. We came back last night and had the same great experience. The wait staff are very attentive and timing of the food is perfect. My husband got the steak entree flight and they were all cooked perfectly. I got the fish entree flight and they were all great but loved the red fish the best. It’s a fun quality experience with great service food and drinks

We love McEwen’s! Have been coming here for 20+ years. The food is amazing, service is topnotch and super friendly and ambiance is second to none. I recommend McEwen’s for date night, casual dinner or family holiday dinner like we did last night. There’s no place better in Memphis!

A fantastic venue, as always. We ate dinner, and the highlight was the chicken and waffles. The music was high-energy and fun, and Memphis Jones did a grand tour of blues, soul, and Memphis history themes. Entertaining, upbeat, and fun with some great food. Wonderful night out.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Texas de Brazil in Memphis, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you walk through the door, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality, enhanced by the rustic yet elegant decor. The quality of the food at Texas de Brazil is simply outstanding. The meat selection, a highlight of their churrascaria style, is unparalleled. Each cut, from the juicy lamb to the savory picanha, was cooked to perfection, showcasing the rich flavors of the grill. The variety of meats, all seasoned and prepared with care, ensured that every bite was a delight. The side dishes complemented the meats beautifully, with the cheese bread and the lobster brisquet standing out as personal favorites. The service was equally impressive, with servers who were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the dining experience they were providing. They managed the continuous flow of meats with such grace, ensuring no one's plate was ever empty for long. The diligence and attentiveness of the staff made the dining experience seamless and enjoyable. What truly elevated our visit was the impressive leadership of the manager. Their presence was felt throughout the lunch, not just through their oversight but through their active engagement with both staff and guests. The manager's leadership was evident in the well-coordinated team and the smooth operation of the restaurant, despite being busy. They took the time to visit tables, ensuring customer satisfaction, and their passion for providing an excellent dining experience was infectious. In summary, Texas de Brazil in Memphis offers an exceptional dining experience characterized by high-quality food, diligent service, and exemplary management. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a must-try for anyone looking for a memorable meal.

We had a great family christmas dinner tonight. The Paullete Filet was amazing as always, the sauce over the steak is the best, also the popovers and strawberry butter are always a hit. Our server Yolanda was kind and attentive . Thank you for a nice evening
