As the most famous street in Memphis and one of the most iconic places in the country, Beale Street gets a lot of love for its music and its drinks. You'll find some good eats too.

Here are nine places to eat on Beale Street in no particular order.

Midtown's favorite Southeastern Italian restaurant celebrates 20 years of delicious food and amazing cocktails this all. 

Bari ristorante in midtown memphis

In 2021, Bari Ristorante moved from their original Overton Square spot to a bigger, brighter location just down the street at 524 S. Cooper Street. The new space is lovely and light-filled and there’s outdoor seating!

I'm not sure what I can say about Gus's that hasn't already been said at this point? It's a simple but beloved place, and while it's now a national chain, the original location was in Mason, Tennessee about an hour from downtown Memphis.

The second location is on Second Street downtown, and you'll usually find a long line, so be prepared to wait. The theme of the restaurant is Fried Things. Gus's has a handful of appetizers aka crispy-fried vegetables, slaw, baked beans, fries, white bread, desserts, more sides, and the main event: fried chicken.

Ed. Note: October 3, 2021 is the last day or get a lobster roll or lobster bisque at Slider Inn, at least until the spring! 

I know that you probably are addicted to the sliders or the nachos at the Slider Inn, but I have to recommend that on at least one trip, you skip the sliders and go for the lobster roll.
