Best Live Music Restaurants in East Memphis

Mahogany River Terrace was absolutely great to my friends and I. We traveled to Memphis for a girl’s weekend getaway and brunch was a must and boy oh boy did we choose the right place. Not only was the ambience great but the food was amazing and our waitress Tiara was the absolute best. She was extremely attentive, friendly and patient with us as we navigated the menu. She was AMAZING! We will definitely be back. Awesome experience!

Our favorite restaurant with the best food and staff in the city!

If you’re looking for the soul of Memphis in one unforgettable night, B.B. King’s Blues Club on Beale Street delivers. We went for dinner and stayed for the live show—and what an experience! The band was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment they hit the stage, the energy in the room skyrocketed. Pure talent, raw blues, and a vibe that keeps your feet tapping all night. Service? Top-notch. Friendly, attentive staff who made us feel right at home from the start. Our server was warm, helpful with recommendations, and genuinely seemed to love being part of the scene. As for the food—classic Southern comfort done right. From crispy fried chicken to smoky ribs and creamy mac ‘n’ cheese, every bite hit the spot. Generous portions, full of flavor, and exactly what you want while soaking in that bluesy atmosphere. In short, B.B. King’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a Memphis must. Come hungry, stay for the music, and leave with a full belly and a happy heart. 5/5 – A soulful slice of Memphis you don’t want to miss.

Beautiful and classy place. Loved the grits and salmon dish. The smoky old fashion cocktail was quite a fun presentation and Lauren and all the staff were wonderful. Tricky to find but look for the blue awning.

Food was very good. Well prepared and good presentation. However, online menu and menu at the restaurant were not the same. Items advertised online were not available to order. Service got off to a very slow start but picked up. Server was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Seemed to be more of a management issue than a server issue. Parking in the adjoining garage was very convenient. They need to clean up the steps leading up yo the door.
