Gus's Fried Chicken on Front Street makes the greatest fried chicken you will ever eat in your entire life.
Dyer's and A. Schwab's on Beale Street are also fun to check out or for a good, quick, incredibly unhealthy meal.

Sun Records is a great thing to see. Just know the area near the place aint the best. So either do like we do and pay a local business to park in their parking lot or find paid parking and walk.
Jerry Lawler's Bar and Grill on Beale street is worth checking out. Food is decent. It is all the memorbilla on the walls that makes it worth going to.
There is a nice parking garage 2 blocks from the bar.

Graceland is very cool and totally worth touring, IMO.

I've never been but I think Ardent Studios has or had a tour, and at one time Jody Stephens from Big Star was one of the tour guides, although I don't know if that's still the case.

Jerry Lawlers.
Dyers Burgers has used the same 100 year old cooking grease.
Silky o’ Sullivan has goats on the patio bar.
The Memphis Zoo still has a Panda… for now.
Meet the woman that’s been protesting outside the National Civil Rights museum for over thirty years.
The Crystal Shine Grotto is kinda cool it’s in a cemetery only like 40 feet from Isaac Hayes grave.
Graceland is kinda like your creepy uncles house growing up.
Bass Pro Shops in one of the biggest pyramids in the entire world.
Go see a duck March at the Peabody Hotel.
See a red birds or a grizzles game.
I had some really good bbq Spigetti. I forget where. Probably just Google that.
They still have trolleys!

I haven't been thru Memphis in 20 years but Kathleen Madigan swears by Graceland. They have over 50 Elvis jumpsuits.
And the Walgreens in-town is where yours truly stopped for hot brakes in the year 2000. 😁
Hit the Crossroads in Clarksdale, MS. I've been by that a bunch of times. Where Robert Johnson sold his soul to be able to play. That's more than awesome.

Go see Rev. Greene. I understand he'll be glad to see you when you haven't got a prayer.
