I just discovered your websites - especially the one re restaurants - and was surprised to see that no mention was made of what I feel is the best restaurant in Memphis - which is actually not in Memphis - it is in Bartlett. The Brickhouse Buffet. https://www.brickhousebuffet.com If you like vegetables - the way your mother or grandmother cooked them - you will love it. Salmon at the carving station on weekends - and so much more.
