If you ever come to Memphis, you have to visit Huey’s. It is a Memphis institution! If you don’t come for the food, then at least come for the décor; it is different. There is writing all over the walls and toothpicks all over the ceiling (they take them all down once a year to make way for new ones).
The food here is pretty good, though. The burgers are good-sized and cooked to order. I recommend the traditional Huey burger, as well as the West Coast Burger (cheeseburger with guacamole, onions, and more). The chicken pita is good, and if you are looking at going a little healthier, the Spinach Salad isn’t half bad.
The cheese fries are good, and there were many times that I ordered them as my main course. They are large enough for several to share for an appetizer or a carbo-loaded alternative to a burger. Fries don’t come with the meal, but I would suggest getting them; they are pretty good, and their onion rings are wonderful!
There is a full bar, and on weekends, they have live music at some of the locations.
Don’t forget to spit your toothpick on the ceiling; it’s a tradition! The best way to do it is to put the toothpick in the bottom of your straw and blow. Good luck!
