We are on Beale Street the very best of the blues here in downtown Memphis! We all need something to show that we were here. They have some great ideas for those memories. How about duck as your favorite iconic figure or character. Angus Young the Duck . Aretha the duck or Elvis! That coffee mug that has Memphis memories each day you sip your coffee from your home city! They have postcards here too! It's a great little store! Lots of great deals! The store is well organized and priced! The staff is friendly but it's a tourist friendly area. read more

What is wrong with people? How do you let a teenager walkup to the counter and purchase a harmonica? Don't people realize that people have to be in a car with that kid for hours and they now have a freakin' harmonica? All joking aside, this is a cute little store and everyone in our group found something to take home to remind them of their trip to Memphis. read more

You know me I'm always looking for the best T-shirts in town. That's what landed me here. The best customer service ever. We had such a good time talking with them on the famous Beal Street in Memphis, Tennessee. #BucketListCheck #5Stars #WalkingInMemphis read more

Only giving it one star because they had a nice selection of souvenirs and tshirts. Service is awful. Cashier JF which is what the receipt says is horrible. She's so rude to customers with a nasty attitude. Very unfortunate that a person like this works there. Go somewhere else where they will appreciate your business. read more

Things and stuff Elvis... Located next door to the cafe that bears the same name we stopped by "just to look." This souvenir shop sells all things Elvis, Memphis and Beale Street plus anything from magnets to clothing to BBQ sauce and seasonings to lottery tickets. Did I mention anything Elvis? :) I purchased souvenirs to bring home to my co-workers including this 1-lb bag of dark roasted ground coffee in which I'd rather not mention the name (see photo). They better not be complaining about being sleepy coming to work. Great place to shop for last minute Memphis souvenirs. A little tight inside... lots of merchandise! Review #1878 read more

They discriminate on hiring people . A friend of mine got her there after a few days she was told smtold not to bring her bag. She let another young lady there know that she brought her bag because she had stomach cancer so she needed to keep her medicine with her. My friend was called the next day she had to work was told by the manager that her boss got mad she hired my friend because it's a slow season and that they didn't need any help so she told my friend that it's just not working out we don't need you anymore meanwhile on indeed I saw that they were advertising for help again so which is it a lie that y'all do not need the help or y'all just fired her because of the cancer oh it doesn't matter. She finally got another job so that's not the point the point is y'all found out she had cancer and y'all fired her but now all of a sudden it's back on indeed as y'all are needing help all I can say is my friend dodged a bullet when y'all fired her I just wish we could prove that it was due to her cancer, but we can't. It's all good though. read more

I am a sucker for souvenirs since I was a kid because my folks would always stop at places that put names on them everywhere we went. So who doesn't want a sand snow globe from Myrtle Beach or a ceramic Mom & baby dolphin on a pedestal that says Key West, yep those were mine. Anyway if you're looking for anything that has Memphis painted or stamped on it then this is a pretty darn good place to shop. Plus if you're into Elvis like I always have been, then Blues City General Store is a wonderful all-in-one stop for a fan, we're talking Elvis stuff galore! (thank you, thank you very much :-) Pro tip: Elvis week is pretty crazy so if you don't like crowds, well be warned. If it's Memphis memorabilia you're looking for well you'll find it here too, with Sun Records, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and B.B. King stuff, along with others from floor to ceiling throughout this very stuffed store. This shop is located in the middle of Beale Street in close proximity to The Peabody, Hard Rock, Hall of Fame and lots of music venues (juke joints more like it) and of course lots of food. There's everything from postcards to glassware, blankets. candles, records and lots fo t-shirts and so much more. Plus they are open until 1am! Bottom line: if you want a souvenir in Memphis, this is THE place to stop. read more

I thought this shop was super cute and tidy! Great prices for some unique, high-quality Memphis tees, vinyl decals, and .25 postcards. Staff members were pleasant and everyone wears masks, which is appreciated! read more

A tight spot, rather small, right on Beale and next door to the cafe. Very reasonably priced souvenirs where I was able to pick up the infamous Elvis Christmas ornament and a comforter colors t-shirt. Good prices and friendly service. read more

This is a souvenir store on Beale Street. One of several. I am writing this review only because I stayed in this store long enough to give an opinion. The selection of Memphis. South, Beale Street, Elvis, Bues Music, etc. was decent. They also sell lottery tickets if you are feeling lucky. read more

BEWARE----RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!! I LOVE Memphis and always have a wonderful time, BUT this is my one and only bad experience! I will never understand why people that hate people work with the public??? The "owner" is the most hateful nasty person I have ever met!!! I understand she has a business to run, BUT we were in there to spend our hard earned money also!!! I have never been so disrespected, humiliated, and embarrassed in my life!!! She is ridiculously rude, she will scam you, and rip you off!!!! Do yourself a favor and take a few more steps to one of the other fabulous shops that treat you like a human being. They have the same great stuff and more for cheaper prices. We ended up having a great experience at Strange Cargo....great people, souvenirs, and prices!!!! PS this place is worth ZERO stars, but that is not a option....such a horrible place!!!! read more

Ribeye steak was awesome, ribs awesome. Server was really good"Chad". Place was busy and food came fast.

I am giving this little Elvis tourist attraction/ souvenir shop 4 stars, but I hesitate to do so. The only reasoning behind this is because at Yelp 4 stars reads "YAY! I'm a fan!" Which, I particularly am not. Let me explain. A wise man once told me there are 2 types of people in this world- Beatles fans and Elvis fans. I never really thought about this till he said it, but it is so unbelievably true. I am a Beatles girl through and through. My dog's name is Eleanor Rigby and my children will be named Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr (regardless of their sex), I have "Let it Be" tattooed on one wrist and "Imagine" on the other, and my iPod has 350 Beatles songs vs 1 Elvis tune - and that Elvis tune is a remake folks. So yes, it is safe to say I am a Beatles fan. I don't hate Elvis, just don't particularly love the man or his music. (And, if you are wondering- yes there is more to Memphis than Elvis, or else I obviously wouldn't have moved here. ) So, you can imagine my hesitation on giving the 4 starred "Yay! I'm a Fan" rating. I'm not a fan. However, if you are a fan- this is the place to go. Within the confines of this very tiny space, you can find everything imaginable in the way of Elvis. My sister in law is a huge Elvis junkie, so I took her here yesterday and spent more time in this store than I thought humanly possible. They have everything from flip flops, shirts, ties, ornaments, magnets, stickers, posters, blankets and even 4 glass cases dedicated to Elvis "room dandruff." You know, the chatchkeys you set out around a room that do nothing but collect dust. My husband even discovered that there are so many different Elvis ties that he could buy a different one for every day of the week for a month. Yes, a month. So, if you are an Elvis fan- or know one visiting, take them here immediately. I only wish they would open one dedicated to the fab four next door. read more

We spent just a little time in Memphis on our way back to Texas and had to have some Elvis before we left. Blues City General Store was a wonderful all in one stop for a fan. Wonderful friendly staff and all over fantastic experience. Lots of unique gifts. read more

On a recent trip to Memphis, my daughters and I visited this gift shop. I bought a shirt with the help of the friendly staff. After I tried it on, I found it to be poorly made and not true to size. My advice, go to another souvenir shop. read more

This is just another in a long line in this street of sub par shops. There are cheaper places to get stuff and with better workers.
