Passing through Memphis on our way to Louisville, KY our group voted to check out this place. Saw it on one of the Food TV shows just not sure which one. We arrived early on a Wednesday, around 10:45 AM, the burger joint opened at 11:00 AM, and we were the first ones to walk in. Service was great, sit anywhere we liked, the waitperson came straight to our table to give us menus & take our orders. Quick and easy. I ordered a Dyer's Double Double without cheese, my husband ordered the same WITH cheese and of course fries. Our friend ordered the onion rings which were very good. Shakes with the burger, nothing special at all. I must say I was very disappointed with my burger. It was not good at all. I had to add salt to give it some flavor. Maybe we walked in too early, maybe the burgers are better after a few alcoholic beverages I don't know we were all disappointed. The ambiance is cool, love all the old pictures, historical vibes.

On this trip through Memphis we decided to stop and walk around downtown. This Memphis staple has been here since the early 1900s and I was told by a friend that this was one of the best burgers he's ever eaten. Well if you want a very moist burger this is the spot. Super juicy. Great cut fries and the onion rings were crispy and delicious

This place was good, but not worth the hype. I've heard it's "famous" and the best burgers. I wouldn't go that far. Glad we went on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't busy and parking was close and free on the street. I like the diner look, but I was expecting more of an old school diner experience. Our waitress was nice and attentive. No issues there. The food was decent. They do not have a kids menu, but the single burger is maybe slightly bigger than a kids meal burger from McDonalds. The fries were nice. My husband got the chili cheese fries and while the chili tasted good, I personally felt there was way too much on the fries, so I'm glad I just got regular fries. It was all fine, just nothing to brag about other than the fact I can say I've been to the historic Dyers Burgers.

Dyer's Burgers on Beale Street serves up legendary patties cooked in century-old grease, giving them a one-of-a-kind flavor you won't forget. Add crispy fries and a thick, creamy shake, and you've got a true Memphis classic.

I've heard about this place for years, but had never been. I love places that have stood the test of time. But unfortunately, I didn't get much out of this place at all. 1. The burgers are deep fried. Yes. You hear it right; deep fried. The burger was ok at best. Nothing had this standing out as some fantastic or better burger. I've had tons of better burgers elsewhere. 2. Fried bologna sandwich was underwhelming. Not the best quality bologna in this sandwich....giving it a slightly ground bone texture. 3. Memphis Chili: the chili looked good and had a nice consistency. But there is some different spice...kinda resembles a burnt coffee taste....which is way forward and off putting to eat. I'm not a fan at all. 4. Fries were the best part of the meal. Get some salt in the fresh cut first...they were decent. 5. Service: terrible. The place wasn't even busy when we went. Had plenty of staff all around it appeared. But everything took for-ev-er! I hate to say it - but it's a place I never need to go back to.

If you're a tourist in Memphis, this should on or near the top of your list of places to eat. In case you didn't know, Dyer's has been dishing up burgers for over a 100 years, so they must be doing something right. They claim that they have never changed their grease that they cook in. They strain it daily. And they will add to it as needed. But they never throw it out. I got the double burger with chili, fries, and a beer. I thought it was awesome. It tasted great and the fact that it was in one of Memphis's oldest institutions just made it even better. The service was friendly and fast. I imagine it can get busy at times. But when I dipped in on a Monday afternoon I darn near had the place to myself. Again, this is the type of spot that is unique to the city. I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Look, this review is completely affected by the fact that I went for a late dinner on St. Patrick's Day. It's probably one of the busiest days on Beale Street, and by 7pm people had clearly been celebrating for a while already. The result was that it took me over 45 minutes to get some food. The food is great- but not worth a 45 minute wait. That being said, if you could go to Dyer's on probably any other of the 364 days of the year you will probably have a great time. The burger was really special, and came with all the toppings including onions and pickles. The fries had some magical seasoning that was a little salty, a little sweet, but completely irresistible. Plus the restaurant is a cool throwback to another time. Try it out- as long as it's not really busy!

Now who would've known. This place is world famous.... featured on many big platforms. We order burgers.... mine a double bacon cheese..since they SMASH the patties...they give u 2. My friend got the patty melt and looked delicious oh almost forgot the onion rings.....omg I wud return just for the onion rings. So filling, I took most of my meal home. 10 outta 10.

Deep Fried P.b. & J. With Ice Cream Add Scoop
Julia S.

Admittedly after walking in I asked to see the dessert menu and with a quick glance I knew I was staying for my last bite for the night. All the other restaurants around here had similar menus to the next which made it seemed almost hopeless. They were very busy. Seating seemed to be difficult with the constant flow of people sitting and enjoying their food then the employees quickly trying to turn tables for the next customer. The gentleman bussing tables did make it hard to sit for a moment after we finished our meal to enjoy. He quickly cleaned our table immediately after I had my last bite which sucked little. I saw him try to clear a table while a customer's kid still grabbing the remaining french fries from his basket of food. The waitresses were constantly moving, and I never saw them stop for a moment, waiting on customers and taking orders. Ours was so sweet. Fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a scoop of ice cream which called for me. And I was not disappointed. The ooey gooey PB&J with the crispy crust was delectable with a spoonful of homemade vanilla ice cream. I loved it so much that I entertain my curiosity of making fried PB and J sandwich at home.

Cheese single burger and fries

I am a sucker for a gimmick so I wanted to try Dyer's burgers made with over 100 year old grease. I will say I am not a huge red meat fan so please keep that in mind for this review. I felt like the burger tasted like a "symphony of grease." You could definitely tell the flavor of it. It was a bit too much for me and I maybe finished half. I think if you're a fan of greasy burgers, you would love this place. I will say I appreciated how fast service was and how attentive our server (Glinda) was to our table. Our drinks were maybe halfway finished & she brought us more drinks. The atmosphere was a standard diner which I liked. It was pretty empty around 1:30pm on a cold Saturday which I didn't mind. Overall, a quick place to grab lunch if you're a burger fan. No real vegetarian options here.

Dyers is a Memphis must try. It's a great place to grab a quick greasy bite to eat to help soak up everything you drank at the clubs on Beale St. I ordered the double double (double meat and double cheese) combo which included fries and a drink. The double double is 2 patties and 2 slices of cheese along with pickles and onions on a soft bun. Dyers is special because they "deep fry" their hamburgers in 100 yr old oil - and I must say that it's absolutely delicious. Their fries were nothing special and to be honest a disappointment. They were very soggy and over salted. If you want to save some money I'd recommend just ordering the burger. Service was friendly but watch out for the bill if they charge you gratuity. I came in alone and ordered to go but they still charged a 2+ 20% gratuity which is fine since I'm on vacation and want to support the community but others might not be understanding and feel like they're taking advantage of tourists.

Customer service is lacking and even though they are the only ones locally I know of cooking burgers this way, it's nothing special.

The women's restroom needs a good cleaning, trash needs attending, and there was hair in the sink. Please clean your restrooms.

A smooth and flavorful cortado and tasty, filling hamburger started my late breakfast day in…read moreMemphis. The atmosphere and decor of this coffee shop are both inviting and antique bringing feelings of the historic times and souls once living in the area. The "team"working here were both professional, kind and friendly. When eating in your entree is hand delivered with a smile in a timely manner. I even got a brief visit from the supervisor/possible owner asking if I needed anything and how everything was going. When I replied with a positive experience he said he will pass on the word to the team. I liked that he gave credit to everyone/team. I will definitely return when in town for business and recommend to my colleagues.

Hustle & Dough in Memphis is such a fun little gem to stumble across. The whole space feels cozy…read moreand inviting, but also a step above your usual coffee-and-pastry spot. The aesthetic is really well done. It's warm, modern, and just a place you actually want to hang out in for a while. The staff were great and super helpful, especially when it came to working around a few syrups they were out of. They offered substitutions without any fuss, and it honestly worked out for the better. All of their syrups are made in-house, and you can really taste the difference! They're fresh and not overly sweet or artificial. We ordered a Bourbon Mocha and a Carrot Cake Latte (which was absolutely to die for), and decided to keep breakfast on the lighter side with a slice of sourdough and two cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls, though, are not your typical style. Instead of the usual big, fluffy roll, they spiral the dough tightly and bake it that way. The result is this super fun, peel-apart situation where you're unraveling layer after layer. It feels like there are eight layers of cinnamon-sugar goodness to work through! Overall, Hustle & Dough has great coffee, thoughtful house-made syrups, unique pastries, and a really welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd go back to next time I'm in Memphis.
