    One of Elvis's costumes
    Tom K.

    This place is amazing. Our server Lexi was perfect and really had a handle on our order. We got the fried Gouda cheese sticks and oh my what a different flavor than ordinary cheese sticks. The breading was exceptional very crunchy and light. We shared the full rib rack with 2 sides a piece. The ribs were so tender that they fell off the bone. The rub and sauce was such a taste treat I bought them at the gift store. We had the green beans, baked beans, and corn fritters. The sides were all so delicious. We opted for the banana pudding for dessert. It was awesome banana pudding with vanilla wafers and whipped cream. The whole restaurant theme is Elvis Presley, which was pretty cool even had old movies of his running on the TV. A very cool experience if you're in Memphis.

    Date Night a day early! This was my first time ordering the Elvis Burger--medium, crisp bacon, smoked ham, and American cheese top burger! The burger was omg, rightly seasoned! It was fit for a King! We ordered his usual Half Rack wet and spicy! Per my husband, the drinks are always strong (I agree), which is a good thing! We even ordered dessert tonight, severed in an Elvis souvenir mug! Loved it, but wasted my morning workout! Our server is always energetic and reasy to chat!!

    Figured we had to check out one of the restaurants Elvis ate at, and we landed on Marlowe's. Our server Valisha (goes by V) was absolutely fantastic; so funny and super friendly! Definitely request to sit in her section if you can. We got the Three Meat Plate and tried the ribs, pulled pork and brisket. For our sides we went with Mac'n'Cheese, corn fritters and sautéed mushrooms. Coming from California we were excited to try some Tennessee BBQ and while it is very different from our more western versions it was pretty good. Definitely different but good; the Mac'n'Cheese is a white cheddar and black pepper dish which is absolutely new to me, but it was good. The ribs were soft and pulled away from the bone with ease. The pulled pork was very moist/soft, we enjoyed that. The sautéed mushrooms are basically mushrooms in brown gravy (again, something new for our California palettes). The ambiance was everything Elvis (and there is even a Gift Shop). Definitely worth a taste if you are in the area.

    The service was great and the portions are huge. I saw one couple sharing a meal and you could definitely do that. The chicken tenders are hand breaded. You get 3 tenders and fries for $14. My teenagers couldn't finish them. The ribeye dinner was perfectly cooked and delicious. We sat in the Elvis room, which had Elvis everywhere. They also have a gift shop.

    The spirit of Elvis is alive and well at Marlowe's, especially when you get front door service from their pink stretch limo. Rides are free from several nearby hotels. So fun. I had the pulled pork entree and left with a meat coma. So much food! Pork was tender and sauce was tasty. It came with baked beans and slaw which were also good. Wish I wouldn't have been traveling because I could have had leftovers for two sandwiches. So much food. We checked out the memorabilia around the place and there is a lot of it. Service was good. Fun stop.

    We came, we saw, we ate! I couldn't think of a better eating experience when recalling my visit to Memphis, TN. The hotel provided the information and it was VIP from there. We were picked up at our hotel by a pink Cadillac (I am really not sure of the make /model) but we were picked up for FREE (I did remove a star for the driver - they need to reconsider the driver). What a great marketing tool!! While waiting for our table (short wait) - we shopped at the giftshop and although we had visited a ton of giftshops, they had unique items. The menu was extensive and we tried a little bit of everything (even Elvis' favorite - Fried peanut butter and banana sandwich). How was it - you ask???????????????? I didn't like it and I think given a different brand of peanut butter - maybe! MAYBE.... The corn fritters were my fave and someone ordered a steak - it was huge! money well spent... The restaurant also had a Elvis impersonator. How fun! Also, great marketing too....give the marketing team a raise. Great experience. High Five to the wait staff, as well....they were very accomodating.

    This is a must stop in Memphis,Tennessee! BBQ was great staff was amazing. The Pink Limo ride was the icing on the cake. The driver was hilarious and fun! Al-Texas

    This place is very lively, food is amazing and the service is good. Definitely recommend.

    The food and service here is remarkable. From the moment we sat down we were taken care of and the waitress tended to our needs without having to flag her down. Which in itself in today's world means a lot. The ribs were some of the best I've tasted in Memphis.

    The brisket platter
    Lisa S.

    We found this restaurant on Yelp while leaving Graceland. We both had the brisket with two sides. He had baked beans and mac and cheese and I had spaghetti and coleslaw. All was very good and if we're ever back in Memphis we'll go again! The service was also very good and they were very friendly. They had a lot of Elvis memorabilia to look at, which was appropriate since we had just left Graceland.

    Shelley S.

    This was recommended by our hotel. We had a free pink Cadillac limo drive. Food and service was great. We had spaghetti and bbq. Great service. The 3rd generation owner came out to us to give us our gift card we ordered, and was so impressed. Decor, Service and food all amazing! Go to place is you are in town.

    Two Entrée Combo - ribs and brisket. Sides of coleslaw and green beans. Sauce on the side.
    Mark R.

    What a great BBQ spot with fun atmosphere. Our server, Elisa, recommended ribs and brisket. I was skeptical of good brisket this far away from TX, but Elisa was right... and she is an excellent server. The brisket had a great smoke ring and better smoke flavor with just the right pull to it. Probably the best brisket north of the TX state line. AND THEN there's the ribs. Perfect pull from the bone and perfect chew. We ordered sauce on the side. The sauce is good but the meat is better. Also, lots of good side options. We ordered coleslaw and green beans; we would definitely order both sides again.

    Blue Suede Burger with Fried Okra

    Last night was not my first time at Marlowe's (or even my first review), but they're so good I just gotta say it again. We stayed at The Guesthouse at Graceland & one of the perks is that Marlowe's famous pink limo will stop by and pick you up, so you arrive at Marlowe's "in style". Of course, the limo is not in the best condition but who cares? To me, it just adds to the effect. Plus, the driver is hilarious and entertaining and will even take your picture in front of the limo, which is a must. Then you walk into Marlowe's and it's just so fantastically decorated with Elvis pictures and memorabilia. Elvis Radio (Sirius XM) plays overhead and they had the new Elvis movie on the tv. Oh and of course, the food is off the charts. They're known for their BBQ Spaghetti, which I got last time I was there. This time I tried the Blue Suede Burger and swapped out fries for fried okra. Burger was cooked at a beautiful, perfect "medium well" : no pink and very juicy. My husband ordered the BBQ Brisket plate with mac n cheese and fries and was so pleased with it, he bought a Marlowe's t-shirt in their gift shop! Yes, it's probably a tourist place, with its Elvis memorabilia and close proximity to Graceland. But it's been owned by the same Italian family since the early 70s and they just do a fantastic job, so they'll have my business every time I visit Graceland, which seems to be an annual event. As I told my husband when we left, "Marlowe's makes me happy. The atmosphere. The food. Everything. It just makes me happy."

    See all

    Great spot the bartender is nice. And the food is really good. Get there when it opens because seats will be gone in the bar area.
