More than a restaurant, The Arcade is an experience to remember in Downtown Memphis.

If you are looking for an old school vibe, look no further than the oldest cafe in Memphis. Their slogan, “Eat Like The King”, is a nod to Elvis’ affinity for the place, and entering The Arcade is like taking a trip back in time. The nostalgic charm runs deep, though they have expanded and modernized with additional seating, a bar, and a waiting area. 

Their Sweet Potato Pancakes are a Food Network Favorite and The Travel Channel highlighted the Eggs Redneck. If you are still around for lunch, grab a Peanut Butter N’Banana in honor of Elvis himself. Starting in 2019 an expansion introduced extra seating, a liquor bar and an espresso bar. Afterward, take a ride through downtown on the South Main Trolley!
