They call it a cafe, but this cozy little restaurant is so much more. Known for its "comfort food" the Stone Soup Cafe offers breakfast & lunch. Everything is made on the premises, and some things including herbs and some veggies - come straight from the restaurant's garden.

There are plenty of BBQ resturants in Memphis but my favorite is Central BBQ. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich (you have to get it with slaw) and the dry rub ribs. The ribs are succulent and come with your choice of BBQ sauce.
