East Memphis Restaurants

When it comes to true American food culture, barbecue is at the top of the charts. And when it comes to great barbecue, Memphis is one of the most outstanding barbecue cities in America. East Memphis reflects this local love of barbecue, with at multiple restaurants all dedicated to the craft of barbecue. A true southern barbecue joint would be offended at even the thought of using store-bought sauces or prepackaged seasonings. Most restaurants all have their own secret mix of seasonings and rubs that they use on their meats. They also have their own preferred methods of preparation, such as slow cooking, smoking, charring or hickory roasting. For those in the mood for lighter fare, vegetarian options or tastes from the sea, East Memphis also has a variety of American bistros, Italian ristorantes and sushi spots.
