Grove Grill: A Go-To for Shrimp and Grits in Memphis

Advertising that you serve the best shrimp and grits in Memphis is a bold move, considering that just about every eatery lists this local specialty on their menu. But in the case of Grove Grill, that boast might just be accurate!

Regulars rave about the Mississippi stone-ground grits prepared with tasso gravy, sublimely creamy and paired with amazingly fresh shrimp, finely-cut local sausage, and vegetables; it's comfort food that goes above and beyond the call of duty. For an appetizer, locals go for the fried green tomatoes, thickly sliced and served with pepper jelly. The wood-grilled yellowfin tuna also draws raves, coupled with a mango salsa and lemongrass rice. For dessert, the deviled chocolate mousse cake is a decadent treat that will leave you stupefied. Service is spectacular, with attentive waiters always there when you need them.

Dyer’s: A Memphis Institution for Burgers on Beale Street

Beale Street, as any true music fan knows, is the birthplace of the blues, a historic avenue commemorated in dozens of songs. Today, it’s a popular tourist destination for lovers of live music.

If you’re down on Beale and looking to fill your belly, stop in at Dyer’s. This Memphis institution has been serving up some of the best burgers in town for decades. Elmer “Doc” Dyer has been serving up delicious, juicy hamburgers since 1912, and the secret, as the locals say, is in the grease. Unlike other fast food joints, Dyer’s strains and filters its fry oil, meaning that you’re potentially tasting almost a century of history in every bite. This may seem bizarre, but locals claim it’s the secret to their success! These thin, deep-fried burgers—served without any trimmings—are best enjoyed with a side of hot, crispy fries. If you still have room left over for dessert, give the famous deep-fried Twinkie a go.
