80+ Places To Eat Brunch In Memphis
Memphis Brunch! We’re obsessed with it! Here is a big list of where to get brunch in Memphis, Germantown, and more in the Mid-South.
UPDATE 12/22: Shelby Co. Health Dept.’s Directive 16 limits in-person dining rooms to 25 percent capacity and goes into affect on Dec. 26. Read the directive here. Please follow all health policies and wear a mask!
Everything on this list is subject to last-minute and frequent changes. Call ahead or make backup plans. Any establishment may decide to close or go to takeout-only at the last minute; that’s outside of the control of I Love Memphis. This guide will not be updated after 12/23 due to the holidays.
All hours, menus, and availability subject to frequent change because of coronavirus, so call ahead!

* – no special brunch menu, but still perhaps a good place to eat on Sat. and Sun late breakfast/midday
**** – Curry Bowl doesn’t have booze or BYOB, but they do have an Indian buffet starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday and that sounds so delightful that I’m just adding it to this list. S/o to the reader who sent this suggestion!
If I “left something off”, I promise I didn’t do it to offend you. Just leave a comment and I’ll get it added. #TheMoreTheMerrier

Hi Mark, Do you mean this post that you just commented on (80+ places to each brunch)? If so then yes, it’s the latest list of brunch places. It was originally published in January but it has been updated multiple times since then. Every time I find out about a new place or a place that’s closed, I update this. Hope this helps!
