48 hours in Memphis: Best things to do, see and eat! | Memphis Tennessee Travel Tips & Travel Guide

[@clairesimoneaux1632]

I live in Memphis and I loved your video! But locals will tell you that Rendezvous is for tourists. Central BBQ is the only bbq I approve of. And I love that you went to Railgarten. It's such a cool place.

[@rameythe1]

You should try Toms BBQ. Them and Central are top 2 for sure.

[@liyamcdonald9823]

CENTRAL BBQ IS THE BEST! Rendezvous is a tourist trap

[@gumshew2007]

Central BBQ is crap. I've eaten there many times and the last time did it for me. The pulled pork was tough and the ketchup they have in large canisters was spoiled. I actually like Rendezvous much better. Cheers from Little Rock, Arkansas.

[@liyamcdonald9823]

@@gumshew2007 everybody's opinions differ. This is the first bad thing I've heard about Central BBQ. Not sure which location you went to, but the one I go to never fails to impress me 🤗

♌️DivineFeminineLeoLeadingLady♌️ I believe y’all may have some good food but seriously are the people really some of the “sweetest,down home people”?because as a soul musician who’s lived in Georgia I am interested in possibly moving to Memphis but I hear of so much crime. I’m currently in Orlando and I hate it. I need a job that I can’t get and I’m not even old it’s anti social and no kind of black unity here or unity period so tell me?

@@johnburrows5444 what's so different about this one

[@johnburrows5444]

Cozy Corner is that hole in the wall. Everytime I go to Memphis it's the first restaurant I go to. It's authentic Southern BBQ Black BBQ. Those other tourist traps have black pitmasters but with a white surroundings. First bite you're hooked like a Crack addict it's that good. In Mississippi there are BBQ joint in damn near every gas station and most are damn good, but you see any black near the food or cooking don't waste your money

I wish you would have gone to Stax music museum, Graceland, the Pyramid where the Bass Pro Shop is located, Mud Island, and Interstate BBQ (the BEST in Memphis..Pat Neely's family). There is so much to do and see in Memphis, so 48 hours is definitely not enough time! Thanks for sharing what you did. Also, those not from Memphis will also be pleasantly surprised at the southern hospitality we are famous for as well.

I lived in Memphis for 42 years, and the last 10 was in Midtown(Cooper Young). The place was like SoHo on the weekends. I'll be 43 in a couple of weeks lol, but I always say "there's nothing to do in Memphis." I built a home in the suburbs almost an hour away... you make me want to explore the city like a tourist lol!

[@countessratzass5408]

I live in the Overton Square area and there’s plenty to do in Midtown. See live theatre and live music. A new boutique hotel is being constructed at the Square and AirBnB’s are plentiful. Rent bikes or scooters and ride on the many bike lanes and trails. The Levitt Shell in Overton Park offers free concerts in spring and fall. Visit one of the best zoos in the US at Overton Park. The Concourse (old Sears Tower) is a vertical neighborhood with shops, entertainment, restaurants, retail, living space and more. Broad Avenue Arts District offers boutique shops, craft activities, bars and restaurants.

[@verda_renee]

There's nothing to do in the 'burbs. (Except maybe Cordova) Midtown and downtown there's literally always stuff happening. Suburbs are mostly for growing families etc not necessarily nightlife or fun. That's how it is most places - not just Memphis.

We've been only to New York so far, but thinking about giving the United States yet another chance as travel destination. :-) As there's a flight to Atlanta from Dusseldorf, a Road Trip throughout the south seems interesting! From a European perspective, those are B-destinations - but with those, you learn more about the country and won't be exposed to German tourists all the time (as in NYC or San Francisco). And I enjoy places with lots of local tourists!
