Barrett's Diner
Owned by a local son and mother team, who serves a lunch that would make any Southerner feel at home. The most popular item is chicken and dumplings. Other home-cooked dishes offered include red beans and rice, catfish, and country-fried steak. Everything is served with vegetables and cornbread. And what truly American restaurant would be without a delicious selection of pies and cakes. The minute you step into this restaurant you feel like you are in a small, country town. To make the atmosphere truly American, the walls are decorated with Coke memorabilia and Marilyn Monroe posters.
Folk's Folly
This locally owned steakhouse offers some of the best Prime Rib and seafood in Memphis, and also features a large selection of fine wines. Top a steak with smothered onions, blue cheese or crabmeat béarnaise, or select from a variety of vegetables including fresh asparagus and sauteed spinach. Appetizers include fried dill pickles, mushrooms stuffed with lump crabmeat and several other choices. As for desserts, the Famous Folk's Folly Freeze is a good choice and comes served with your favorite liqueur. The atmosphere here is simple and comfortable. A pianist plays Monday through Saturday in the cocktail lounge adjacent to the dining room. Rooms are available for private parties of 2-70 people.
Rum Boogie Cafe
This bar has wraparound windows that let you see the dancers bopping and jiving from the outside, or watch the street scene on Beale from the inside. Autographed guitars hang from the ceiling, offering proof that musicians such as Carl Perkins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Walsh and others have hung out here. The house act, James Govan and the Boogie Blues Band, performs when there isn't a visiting artist. Shows usually go on from 9pm-1am on Friday and Saturday, and from 8:30pm-12:30am Sundays and weeknights. The kitchen serves several dinner and snack items, but the Rum Boogie is famous for its red beans and rice.

The hotel also provides free breakfast to get your day started out right.
Hampton Inn and Suites - Bartlett

This is the fastest growing area of Memphis for business and shopping. It is about a mile to Interstate 40 on the way to Jackson and Nashville Tennessee.
East Memphis Hilton
The only Hilton in Memphis is located way on the east side of town—technically within the city limits, but still with a suburban feel. This hotel has all the amenities you expect from a Hilton, with the added advantage of being right across the street from the Racquet Club, host of the annual St. Jude Tennis Classic. The hotel is noted for its collection of modern sculpture outdoors and in the lobby, which adds to the property's exclusive feel.
