Restaurants in Midtown
A few Midtown restaurants we like
"Smoke is our Sauce" is their moto. You may pick your sauce type. The newer restaurants are nice. The older ones, have a lot of personality, but the rest rooms need renovating. Several in Memphis, all have great food.

Not too far away in Overton Square. I LOVE the guac. The best ever, they make it at your table. Good margaritas and drinks in general. Sometimes they show "I love Lucy" on the wall. Fairly casual.

Distillery tour with good hosts. Be sure to time your tour to end after 4:00 so you can end up in the restaurant next door because you won't want to drive after the generous tastings at the end.
