Blues City Cafe

Sink your teeth into some of the most talked-about BBQ Ribs and Southern favorites with a meal at Blues City Cafe, on Beale Street, in Memphis. This historical restaurant takes up two storefronts and is located right across the street from B.B. King's in the heart of downtown. This restaurant is famous as the home of the late Chef Bonnie Mack, who brought customers back time and again with his famous recipe, or to enjoy a cold beer while listening to the other section of the café, The Band Box, which features live entertainment.

This diner-style café was used in The Firm with Tom Cruise, and with old-style classic seating you will have a great view of the crowds on Beale Street. A local rock band, Free World, plays regularly in the Band Box. Also, ribs are not the only great thing on the menu here at the Blues City Café; they also serve up steaks, tamales, chicken, and fried catfish. If you are looking to lodge amidst all this great excitement, The Comfort Inn Downtown, Doubletree Hotel Memphis Downtown, or The Hampton Inn are just a few downtown lodging options.
