What Memphis Restaurants Are Open On Mondays?

Ed. Note: It's the natural way of the world that some restaurants are closed on Mondays—they need a weekend, too! Contributor Wesley Paraham noticed this issue and decided to simplify it for us all. He brings to you: A list of Memphis restaurants reliably open on MONDAYS, listed by neighborhood with hours and takeout, dine-in, and curbside information.

I've added some descriptions and links to more info about the restaurants. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list, just a few suggestions. Feel free to add yours in the comments! 


Have you recently tried to order some food on a Monday, and it just didn’t work?
