Six Places To Eat In Crosstown Concourse
The Crosstown Concourse is open and full of delicious restaurants. Below you’ll find a list of places to eat in the Crosstown Concourse.
Get this: if you live within 4 miles of the Concourse you can order online from Farm Burger, Saucy Chicken, Curb Market, Global Cafe or Pizzeria Trasimeno, they’ll deliver to your front door for free.
All the hours are subject to frequent change, so be sure to call ahead to confirm.
Get your chicken tenders, chicken wings, seafood, and po-boys with lots of sauces and sides. Most things come either grilled or fried, and everything is priced to please. This is located at the front of the building, or you can order online for free delivery ($15 minimum, 4 mile radius of the Concourse).
Open 11 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday.
Get your fresh-baked breads, cookies, pastries, and cupcakes from Lucy J’s bakery. They pay a living wage and work to hire and train Memphians who are transitioning from experiencing homelessness.
I stopped by the other day and heard a guy with a beautiful French accent order croissants, and then I met one of the bakers, Aretha, as she was filling a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling. It smells great in their little nook, which is accessible from the front of the building or in the hallway between the West and Central Atriums.
While they aren’t a part of the delivery program, they do offer curbside pickup.
Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m.
GLOBAL CAFE
Global Cafe is like a mini international food court, where you can order from counters featuring Sudanese, Syrian, or Venezuelan cuisines. There’s also a full bar with beer and craft cocktails, too.
Everything I’ve tried there was delicious and reasonably priced. I also thought it was cool that they have speciality non-alcoholic drinks for each cuisine. Juan Viramontes is the bartender and creates mocktails like his super-fresh limeade in additional to alcoholic drinks—like the ultra-popular and eye-catching mangorita.
