"The Four Way is exactly the kind of cozy diner people have in mind when they get a craving for soul food. It’s a South Memphis institution, having served staples like vegetable plates, hamburgers, and turkey and dressing to the community from the corner of Walker and Mississippi Boulevard since 1946. Civil rights luminaries of the ’60s frequented the restaurant, including Martin Luther King Jr. When A-listers passed through town — people like Al Green, Elvis Presley, Ike and Tina Turner, and so many others over the years — more often than not, they made a beeline here." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"The restaurant is open from Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. " - Atlas Obscura

"A South Memphis soul-food anchor since 1946, this unpretentious spot fed Black communities during segregation and became a gathering place for musicians, civil-rights leaders, and local icons. The menu centers on hearty staples—fried catfish, country-fried steak, rotating daily entrees with two sides and cornbread—offering both a taste of Bluff City cooking and a deep slice of cultural history." - Eater Staff
