Historic diner with GREAT breakfast! It’s crazy to think that this diner/restaurant has been around since the 1920s. Soon as you walk in your greeted, it was about noon and it was pretty full so there may be some wait but it wasn’t more than waiting for a table to be cleaned to sit us down. Had the sampler and I have to say this was the best French toast I have ever had. Deep fried French toast was the highlight. The sweet potato pancake was really good too! Food is inexpensive and the service was pretty good.

All four plates ordered were delicious. Country ham, Turkey sandwich, chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate gravy (tastes like chocolate sauce) and deep fried French toast. I hope these pictures help someone who is considering one of these plates.

What a historical place to have a tasty meal! This restaurant is the oldest one in Memphis and it has become a legend since 1919. Elvis used to have breakfast here and enjoyed his favorite sandwich with bananas and peanut butter. Some scenes from some famous movies have been recorded here. The food is delicious and takes you back in history. Elvis’s booth is the last one to the left. Go and enjoy the delicious meals of this iconic place!

An institution that has been there since 1919, so we had to go. Food was ok. Not a fan of the French toast though…too crispy…reminded me of a Burger King French toaststick. Eggs and grits and breakfast sandwich were good.

Went with a large group of 12 and our waitress did pretty well getting our orders taken care of and drinks out. I ordered the grilled cheese and it was ok but nothing to make it stand out. We also ordered Mudslide pancakes those were good! We liked the experience and will definitely be back.

It’s a fun place to visit while in Memphis. The service was good. They checked on us regularly. The food was okay. My thing was they were so busy there were tables that hadn’t been cleaned yet. The first table we chose to sit at was dirty. We chose a less dirtier table, but still, with people running in and out of the store, you’d hope that they’d clean. Overall, it was a fun experience.

Very cool nostalgia for all those people looking for a place to eat where the stars have eaten. An Elvis favorite, we tried the peanut butter banana sandwich. Look for Elvis’ booth, and check out photographs of many celebrities who have visited the restaurant. Great atmosphere at the corner of the streets which were the busiest in Memphis once upon a time.

I was lucky enough to get the Elvis booth. (One of my dreams come true) the ambience is inviting and home like. I ordered the breakfast platter, and a side of peanut butter banana fried. Wow. Best French toast I’ve had…. EVER.

Cool historic diner, a must see when visiting Memphis. Typical diner fare with a twist. Try the grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich, a Elvis favorite. Also interesting drink choices.
