Menu

The menu of The Arcade from Memphis comprises about 199 different dishes and drinks. On average you pay about $10.4 for a dish / drink.

Located in Memphis, the restaurant has a long history as the oldest cafe in the city. Visitors were thrilled to attend the 100th Anniversary celebration, which was more of an event than just drinks and dinner. Despite some cleanliness issues, the staff was sweet and accommodating. The landmark establishment offers a mix of historical charm, good food, and friendly service. With a limited but excellent menu, live music, and a central location, it's definitely worth a visit for those looking for a taste of Memphis history.

Was OpenTable Diner at The Arcade a mag?
I grew up in Memphis and my wife and I were traveling through on a recent visit to relatives in Arkansas. We wanted to have lunch at a place with fun people, good food and a classic Memphis feel and Arcade is definitely all of those things. And if you’re out and about for the day it’s an easy walk to plenty of historical and contemporary sights. View all feedback.

What Gustave Nolan dislikes about The Arcade:
The whole place was grimy, food was below adequate in taste and portion. Too loud to even have a conversation in a booth. We knew it was a ‘landmark’ but is my worth the trip. View all feedback.

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 theup-keep of the place. Such a historical land mark deserves a bit more TLC than what it is currently receiving. If Elvis werearound today and he might be inclined to find a new spot for his pb banana bacon sandwiches, somewhere that owns a featherduster, a good mop, and a cleaner bathroom

Hailed as Elvis 's favorite restaurant where he would eat his legendary peanut butter and banana sandwich, this diner is your typical hole in the wall in historic Memphis. My companion ordered Elvis 's sandwich and was unimpressed. I ordered the grilledcheese and weirdly, it had very little cheese and was mostly bacon and avocado. It was fine, but not what I expected. The frenchfries were decent and the salted caramel milkshake was absolutely delicious. I wouldn 't necessarily go back for the food but itwas cool to sit in the booth where Elvis sat and have a little bit of fun harking back to the '60s.
