Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Memphis

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

I went there today (Wednesday) for the express purpose of enjoying the Daily Special: Short Ribs. One of my favs at Char. As always, delicious and enough beef to carry some home. I had to have my favorite dessert there….pecan pie. Large piece served warm with vanilla ice cream. Perfect lunch coupled with good service. My friend also ordered the Short Ribs….her first time to have this dish, and she was pleased.

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!

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 love the atmosphere and food at the Beauty Shop. Went twice over the holidays and it didn’t disappoint! Fun place to meet friends for lunch or dinner.
