The Arcade Restaurant

Billed as Memphis' oldest cafe, The Arcade Restaurant has been a staple of the community for years, offering guests a chance to chow down on delicious food inside a nostalgic, must-see retro diner-style restaurant.

The Arcade Restaurant is located at 540 S Main Street in Memphis.

Here's what LoveFood had to say:

"In Memphis, the ghost of Elvis Presley lurks around every corner, and he loved to park up in a booth at this long-standing diner-style restaurant — the oldest in Memphis — and order the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. That's still on the menu, alongside pizzas, salads, towering milkshakes, and desserts including beignets and banana split. The retro interiors, with their popping blue booths, are worth the visit alone."
