THIS FOOD IS DELICIOUS. And the service is great. Just eat here. We passed through on our way home from Storm chasing and I just picked a place on Elvis Presley Blvd. I chose wisely! The ribs are wet BBQ, not dry rub. Meat fell right off the bone. I didn't even have to pick it up - just used my fork. My friend got the BBQ chicken - we both bought barbecue sauce in the gift shop after this meal! It was so good. The potato salad - excellent. Fries - excellent. But the star was the mushrooms - they are whole and come in their own gravy. If you are from New England, get the mushrooms AND the fries, and enjoy them together just like old school fries and gravy. Pure decadence! Our server V was too fabulous. She knew the ropes and served us so well we even got a photo with her afterward. Super great tourist spot with good food - totally worth it! read more

4.5 First time here and the service was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance was super fun and nicely laid out with all Elvis. And let's not forget about the food. We had the ribs and brisket and the food just fell off the bone. Wow was it good. The sides were as well really good. Basically, the food was fantastic and this place is recommended to go to at least once if you're in the area. read more

What an "amazing kindness-filled experience" at this famous Elvis Presley restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was pure Elvis--such a cool memoir-style tribute to his life and legacy. The gift shop was adorable, and the girl working there was so sweet and welcoming. Now let's talk food --because wow. We ordered 4 entrées and 3 sides (pork ribs, brisket, plus potato salad, baked beans, and fries), and everything was absolutely delicious. Generous portions, great flavor, and all for around $60, which felt like a steal. Our server was incredible--so friendly and genuinely kind. He's been working there since 2002 and shared some really cool history about the place, which made the experience even more special and personal. They even surprised me with a free birthday shot served in an Elvis Presley shot glass--such a thoughtful and sweet touch! Bonus: they also offer limo services, which is such a fun and unique option if you're looking to do something different in Memphis. If you're ever in Memphis, this place is an absolute must-visit. Great food, great people, and a whole lot of Elvis love. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Great food, our server Ron was awesome. We tried a bit of everything, chefs kiss. I rated 4 stars because as a Texas girl, my brisket expectations are really high. But overall, tasty BBQ and the Elvis inspired atmosphere makes this place a one of a kind. read more

Not my style, ribs were fall apart, kinda like a little bit to my ribs. Everything was extra sauced. The food was not bad, just not what i prefer. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love to celebrate my birthday each year by eating ribs at my favorite barbecue places. For the past two years, I have chosen Marlow's. I first ate there in the late 1980's and loved it then. Now, I don't know how it fell off of my favorite barbecue joints. The ribs are fall off the bone tender, with a great smoke flavor. Marlow's has a large selection of sides to go along with the ribs. Marlow's is more than just an Elvis tourist spot...it is legitimately a better than good barbecue restaurant! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant - Two Entrée Combo - ribs and brisket. Sides of coleslaw and green beans. Sauce on the side. - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The brisket was tender and flavorful, and the BBQ sauce had a nice tang. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The fries arrived soggy and barely warm, and the green beans were bland to the point of tasting like nothing at all. Service was cold and disengaged. After I signed my receipt, the server snatched the receipts and what was left of my drink without a word. The only acknowledgment I got was a flat "have a good day" as I was walking out. Bottom line: you're paying for the tourist attraction, not the food or hospitality. read more

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." read more

Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant - Chicken Strips with French Fries. - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Directions: Easy access off Bus Hwy 51 (Presley Blvd) on the corner of Presley and Mosby Rd. see map in photos. Plenty of parking and several Handicap spots in front. This is a popular place and busy so plan accordingly! There is also bar service. We (6 adults) arrived from the airport around 6pm and were seated right away. It is a very nostalgic place with Elvis collections all over and even an Elvis movie playing on the tv! Ask to be served by "V" which I think is fitting to call her "Vivacious", as you can also read from other customers! Very comfortable seating with both chairs and booths available. Are server "V" greeted us very quickly with a big authentic smile and took our drink orders. Being the only server we saw on our side of the restaurant, she was fantastic though-out our entire time there. All our orders were promptly delivered, heated and fresh! We had the sausage and cheese platter which had a large portion of both cheese and very flavorful sausage! We also had the fried gouda which did not last long being soooo goodah! The fried pickles were perfectly cooked and not greasy! My wife and I had the ribs for 2 which was perfect! The loin ribs were incredibly tender with the meat falling off the bone and seasoned perfectly with flavorful rub and smoking! The green and baked bean sides were delicious! With the generous portion of rib meat we had enough for the next day to make a rib sandwich! A very nice experience for all of us and when leaving, there was a party of four girls having a drink party next us and they were having a blast respectfully! The bathroom was very clean and sanitary! I can't say enough good about "V's" service! We highly recommend Marlowe's! Great job management! read more

Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant - BBQ pork dinner with beans and slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Ok maybe we went on a bad night.... I see so many four star reviews and I just don't get it... Maybe it's because we didn't do the ribs and ribs are in the name of the restaurant, but one would think barbecue in Memphis... Hostess was great. She greeted us, and she was very friendly. Our waitress was freaking awesome. But the taste of the food was terrible. We each had pulled pork, and there were three of us in our party. The pork was completely bland and I soaked it with barbecue sauce to tolerate it. My two kids had mac & cheese. It looked delicious, but again, very bland. I ordered a side of okra. Come on, frozen okra.... Then the banana pudding - yes followed the bland train. Will not be back.... read more

Amazing brisket that was smoked for +16hrs just fell apart when you went to cut it apart, no knife needed! Only $20 for everything so you can have great tasting bbq without breaking the bank. Server was attentive and gave great recommendations. The Elvis theme inside was tastefully done. We visited the gift store after we were done which I'd also recommend. read more

Simple menu executed well. If you seek a delicious & tender bbq rib dinner. Stop! You GOT IT!

I agreed with my one bite taste too. The brownie sundae we shared was just wonderful! A HUGE factor of our appreciation & BEST part of our visit to Marlowe's was our server..."V".
