The Arcade Restaurant

Amy Lee

Our first stop in Memphis was the oldest cafe in Memphis - The Arcade - for brunch. This cafe has a 50’s diner feel and has Elvis’ booth marked with photos. The Elvis. Booth is available to sit in which is cool. Now onto what your here for food and drinks! The arcade has a solid brunch drink menu that surely anyone can find what they are looking for; from spiked hot chocolate to spiked mimosas. We chose the spiked mimosas and they didn’t disappoint. It’s a traditional mimosa made with Deep Eddy’s Orange. Josh and I normally share meals but not today - we came hungry and looking forward to this meal. I ordered the eggs redneck which includes slap yo mama good biscuits and gravy. Josh went with the pancakes because he needed a vehicle for the syrup to make it to his mouth. It was an all around wonderful experience and I left with an adorable souvenir coffee mug!

The food here is actually quite exceptional for diner food! Unique recipes and it seems the chef has a pride in the food they turn out, and the waitresses were great too 👍 But I have to admit, upon entering the diner I was a bit disappointed with the up-keep of the place. Such a historical land mark deserves a bit more TLC than what it is currently receiving. If Elvis were around today and he might be inclined to find a new spot for his pb banana bacon sandwiches, somewhere that owns a feather duster, a good mop, and a cleaner bathroom

This was the closest place open to me while visiting Memphis today, found it just with google, and couldn’t be happier. I did not know it’s history or how cool it was when I walked through the door, but as someone who appreciates that kind of thing I was thrilled. I am on vacation so I started with a local Memphis beer and went with my servers’ suggestion on having the Rainmaker; basically a Turkey club. I was a huge fan of both, especially the food. Everything on my plate seemed fresh, was made to perfection, and the sauce on that sandwich is outstanding. Their menu was exciting as well, ranging from breakfast to pizza to, Elvis’ favorite, a peanut butter & banana sandwich. My server (wish I would have caught her name) was so polite, welcoming, and very attentive. The atmosphere was great and exactly what you want in a place like that. I loved the art, the history, and the nostalgia sitting at the counter as the trolley went by. I can not recommend this place enough and hope I’m back to Memphis soon just to try something else from their menu.
