The 19 Essential Memphis Restaurants

"Early risers don’t exactly suffer from a lack of available breakfast options in Memphis. There are plenty of places for the usual array of omelets, bacon, and pancakes. But most daytime spots haven’t garnered laudatory coverage in a raff of national outlets. Bryant’s is among the best breakfast spots in the city, with a line spilling outside of the building to prove it (don’t worry, it generally moves quickly). If it’s your first visit, go for the sampler: three eggs any style, served with bacon, sausage, country ham, and pork tenderloin, plus two house-made biscuits with country gravy, a potato pattie, and grits." - Andy Meek
