I came here recently for the first time for a good friend's birthday brunch on a Sunday morning. I ordered chicken and waffles and a hot chocolate. The chicken and waffles were not bad, but not as good as Local's chicken and waffles. The hot chocolate tasted like they dumped a packet of Swiss Miss in hot water, if I wanted that, I could have just made it myself when I got home. We sat on the nice enclosed porch and had it pretty much all to ourselves because we were a pretty large party. The service wasn't that great though, considering they actually weren't that busy. It took to long to order our food, The food took too long to come, and it took 3 times to get out bill correct. I would give it 2 1/2 stars if I could. read more

I've been coming here since college circa early 80's. While it has undergone a few construction changes and ownership changes everything remains the same. FANTASTIC place to kick back for quick lunch, or after work drinks, easy delicious dinner, weekend hangout, Sunday football FOR SURE! There is THANKFULLY an enclosed, covered outdoor area for those pleasant days and nights. Fun to watch the kids from the local college mingle. The food is standard bar fare. Nothing fancy but well made and liberal portions. Vegetarian options are plentiful. They aren't thrown off by special requests either. The waitstaff are fun, pleasant and always on the go. The bartender is one of the best! You can't get a decent wireless signal outside but let that go. Enjoy being in the moment with your friends. Pool table is decent, but they took out the dart board which broke my heart. A few large tables for groups, otherwise they can put tables together. If planning a large group, say over 6, I'd call ahead. It's busy but never overly so. You don't feel mashed in or claustrophobic. Their prices have steadily risen over the past 5-7 years but that's to be expected in today's economy. I highly recommend pretty much everyone the menu. read more

I've been here too many times to count! Every campus needs a good ole fashioned college bar/grill/restaurant, and this is a perfect setup for the UofM. Inside and outside seating, plenty of tvs to watch the games, a few pool tables as well! Food is excellent, price isn't too bad, Memphis brewed beers on tap, and many other beer choices. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it took 30 min to get my food out and it was pick up. We got the grilled chicken burrito and buffalo chicken quesadilla, chips on the side. Mmmmmmm....and every other burrito and quesadilla choice is on point. read more

I have been going here off and on since college. Dates, study groups, meet ups, that quick pint (and a shot), as a vegetarian, and as a present carnivore. It was their chicken strips that brought me back around. I regret nothing. The atmosphere is local and comfortable. The staff is friendly and menu savvy. Bring your id. It's the law. Take a friend and some internet jukebox money (a debit card will do). Try the Vegan Nachos. Have a great burger with any one of the many beers offered. You'll have fun. read more

Great for late night food. #bbqtofu Also burgers and quesadillas are great Dig the selection of beer and liquor. Downside is that it's kind of a college bar for folks who think they've "outgrown their favorite college bar" but they never left. read more

We sat at the bar to have Mimosas and Gretchen was our bar tender. She was delightful & friendly. Meanwhile we were waiting for a table for a Food network approved restaurant in the corner of Walker. She was fantastic. read more

My friends and I have been going here for years. The drink selection is great and the food is even better. The food here is not the typical bar food. We come here often to grab lunch or dinner when we're in the area. If you stop by, I highly recommend the quesadillas, or if your looking for a snack, the bacon grilled cheese sandwich is amazing. The staff here is wonderful. There are many that have been working here for years and keeping the spirit alive. The restaurant is divided into a non-smoking indoor area and a semi-outdoor smoking area. Stop on by, grab a drink and some food. This is one of the places that you shouldn't miss if you live in the Memphis area. read more

R P Tracks was a permanent fix in my weekly diet when I was living in Memphis for 6 years. Honestly hands down has the best sweet potato fries I have ever had in my entire life. Actually, this is the very first place I ever tried it since, and have ever since been hooked! Get them, and get ranch on the side for dipping. Though it is not the healthiest option, you are literally about to endure heaven in your mouth. This is the kind of place you could consider the 'local' bar or a college bar. The crowd is always mixed, and never boring. I love their shots, drinks, food, and if you are lucky enough -- you will get a train to pass by where you get 50% off of the shots. If you enjoy sweet drinks, get the Down Home Punch as a drink instead of a shot. It is infused with all the fruity flavors, and gets the job done too if you know what I mean. Another wonderful thing would be their jerk chicken sandwich. A large portion chicken breast between two slices of sourdough bread. It comes with lettuce and tomato with the option to add cheese to it for .50 extra. Really it is fine without the cheese because the spices are good enough as it is in my opinion. This is not a spice sandwich, just simply has some good ole simple flavor. The billards are fun over in the side room next to the restaurant portion of the bar. They've got a couple of pool tables you can enjoy. They have an outdoor smoking patio as well. The windows are open during the spring - fall months or when ever you will get the random winter 70 degree day. The bar is nice to sit out where you can tall with one of the bartenders who usually have been working there for 2+ years. Everyone is friendly, and don't be surprised if you end up striking up with a customer sitting next to you in the following bar stool while the game is on. They have a couple of tvs. One being on the right nex to the bar. If it is Memphis affiliated, be guaranteed they have it on. Relax and enjoy. Definitely one of my favorite places in Memphis. read more

Great college bar with fantastic food and good beer prices. Really friendly staff, and a nice place for meetings (especially meetings you want to have beer at!). Tables can be reserved for groups, and the pool tables are really nice. Plus the food is amazing. Everything is god - great burgers, the Lots O' Stuff is insane, and the quesadillas are fantastic. Try the vegan and vegetarian options as well! read more

I love the food at tracks. There are so many veg options here that I actually struggle to pick something. I went with the BBQ tofu sandwich tonight, that is always delicious. Their beer selection is ok but it's pricey. Some of the employees are friendly, some not so much. It's nice that it is so close to campus and open late. read more

This was a favorite college hangout for me, and I still like to go back occasionally and grab a burger. University of Memphis students flock to this bar because it's just a short walk from campus. Here, they can eat, drink, shoot pool, hear live music and watch soccer on the big screen. What more do you need? There's even a laundry close by so you can drop off some clothes on the way. The place is certainly a lot less dingy and a lot more accommodating than when I attended college. The menu has expanded and the decor vastly improved. I kind of prefer the old dive bar from bygone days, but I must admit that this one is pretty nice. One last thing...the bar is so close to the railroad tracks (hence the name), that they used to pass out free shots to all bar patrons whenever a train rolled by. Not sure if they still honor that practice, but it sure did make for a good time. read more

I miss this place so much ever since I graduated and I go back every time I visit! This is a great place to either start or just spend a really chill evening. Beers are very reasonably priced, staff is friendly, and food is good! The "Lots-of-Stuff" is my favorite menu item with chicken strips, fries, mozz sticks, onion rings, and 2 dipping sauces. It is right by the train tracks (obviously in my book) so when a train goes by, of course it's noisy for a minute. Parking can, on very busy nights, be a challenge as they don't really have very many spaces. They have a jukebox, pool table, and an outdoor patio area. read more

Close by the U of M Tracks is a staple of the Highland Strip and has survived serving quality food with consistency. The bbq tofu is some of the best tofu. Nachos are amazing- and you can ask for your nachos separate so no more soggy chips. Chicken and waffles, a good burger, good chili- so a spot for all to eat, from vegan to carnivore. They pour a good drink and the servers are all friendly. Oh, and if something is ever wrong they fix it. If I sound loyal I am 16 years, that's 8 graduating classes. read more

Used to go to RP Tracks just because it was close to college and a great place to meet before going out.. they have food and drinks.. both of which are cheap the service is horrible, they bring the wrong drinks and argue with you that you ordered that, and never get refills if you order water/soda The food was good and lots of it, and if you want a drink the bar is good, with a huge selection... being so close to college its always packed on nights read more

In search for a brunch spot after church one day, my girlfriend and I wanted to try something new. We're basically regulars at Tracks, but more for a quick lunch or to hangout at night with our friends. It's been a crappy-ish hangout bar for years, and I've enjoyed it. However, they've gone through their own changes and seem to want to appeal to a different audience now. They've added a new outdoor patio and have renovated their old crappy and nasty smoking pit patio. Both are great. Now, back to brunch. We were kind of nervous to try it there. We ordered our typical brunch Mimosas which came back perfectly mixed and delicious. I then ordered the Steak and Swiss Omelette - something simple for my first brunch experience, and it was a delicious. Tracks isn't a popular first choice for brunch, but it's a hidden brunch gem in Memphis - at a good and affordable value. You should try it! read more

Well I am back for the chicken and waffles. This is probably my favorite in town. We came in Saturday afternoon and was told that the brunch menu was the only food available. That was ok since I either order the alpha beta pita or the chicken and waffles. Decision was made for me. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go in memphis. I've been coming here for 3 years and I'll be coming back many more times in the future. The atmosphere and the staff are great! The food is MUCH better than other bars and they have some amazing vegetarian options as well (bbq tofu nachos). Excellent brunch and a damn good Bloody Mary. Also kid friendly if you go during the day. read more

R P Tracks - Sweet inside patio with 2 big TVs! Perfect to watch a game! - American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

One of the best restaurant/bars in Memphis. I can't stress that enough. Farmer, Morgan, Doyle, Jeremy, Brad, Ana, Rory, Logan, Decorian, and the owners make this place the way it is. read more

Amazing bbq tofu options!! We tried the quesadilla, the burger, the tofu nachos. All were amazing. Didn't like the buffalo sauce tofu dish as much. Service is very friendly. Bar feel, with sports games on. Casual. Has parking lot! read more

Just off the University of Memphis campus, the place has a nice look to it. The Chicken and Chips is excellent, it's some of the best fried chicken I've had. It's lightly breaded, the bread coating is thin but completely covers the chicken, the bread adds a light crunch but leaves plenty of chicken. The chicken is also well seasoned, and there are three strips. The chips are what most would call steak fries, these are also done well and have a nice thickness to them. read more

Went for brunch, the Egg Benedict was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive. It's March (previous review was October). Consistently awesome, staff is so friendly. We brunch there weekly. read more

3.5 stars. I saw other people eating brunch-- the French toast looked delicious! My mound of tofu nachos was good, not great. Needed some more zip to it. And a 2nd plate to neatly eat it! It's a ginormous portion! My hubby really liked his burger. Wish i would have ordered brunch! read more

This is a great college bar that I consistently patronize. No matter what I order in food or drinks, I am always happy with it. I've met with professors for lunch here. I've hung out with friends and classmates here. I went on my first date with my boyfriend here. We've even held one of my grad school classes there! The atmosphere is always great, and the service is really great. Considering food, I've had their patty melt, burgers, fried chicken salad, mozzarella sticks, and nachos (both chicken and tofu), and I've never eaten anything here that I didn't like. Maybe one of their best kept secrets (if it's really a secret, I guess) is their weekend brunch. They have brunch on Saturday and Sunday from open till about 3 pm. They serve both mimosas and manmosas along with pancakes, omelets, and the like. You can come here if you want to socialize. You can come here if you want to sit and eat by yourself. You can come here to sit on the patio with your friends. You can come here to play billiards (though I haven't done this myself, the room looks nice). The prices are fair, and it's just really great spot for casual dining and hanging out with good food. read more

Nice little dive bar/diner. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options, and awesome waffle fries. Gets pretty hopping in the evenings but there's a few quieter tables off in a side room. Ideal for a quick bite late at night. read more

I ordered what seems to be one of the most popular dishes here--the BBQ tofu nachos. Eating these overfried cubes of tofu smothered in a mild BBQ sauce is an experience I don't wish to have again. They were hard as rocks and the "bed of chili" that it was suppose to be on turned out to be canned black beans. Nothing to write home about and my wallet is definitely lamenting the loss of that $10 for something that left a LOT more to be desired. read more

TOFU NACHOS. honestly, wtf right? this was the main reason i wanted to try this place. I just arrived in Memphis and was looking for a midnight snack and drink. Honestly, the tofu was a taaad bit over-fried but everything else was really good. It was BBQ flavored and you can 86 the cheese and sour cream to make it vegan. The bartender was super nice and even gave us recommendations to tour the city. Another bartender, who was off that night, was there and even started going through the Memphis Flyer to recommend more spots to hit up around the town. The vibe was super chill and relaxing, I really liked it. read more

I got got. I so want my money back. This is ridiculous. I ordered togo but I seriously doubt it would've been any better there. These so called "Famous Nachos"? Famous for what, no nacho cheese, no flavor? They put these hard chips in a typical plastic grocery store bag if that tells you anything. Then, there's a paperboard container with the larger opening with chili that was sweet and tasted like tomato sauce. It had a negligible amount of shredded cheese on top. Then one smaller opening with mostly tomatoes and a little chopped onion. I asked for extra onion. They actually charged me 25cents for my imaginary extra onions. The menu says that there'll be nacho cheese in a separate tub, but nope! And I asked for extra nacho cheese! The best part is my receipt- $1 extra it says for "2oz of shredded cheese". What?!? How do you charge extra for that teaspoon of cheese, when there's no other cheese involved on NACHOS! If I didn't ask for that extra, there would've been no cheese at all on NACHOS! I'm a little mad because this was my cheat for the month. I was looking forward to. Needless to say, I didn't bother even assembling or eating that. We also got a chicken quesadilla. It was pitiful. Photo provided. I would have put pic of the "Nachos" but I threw that out too quick. They simply ought to be ashamed of themselves to sell this to someone. I'm embarrassed for them. They deserve zero stars. read more

I just moved back to Memphis and already have been to Tracks 3 times meeting folks. The wait staff is absolutely wonderful, the food is great. But. Each time I've seen bugs. Now I know this is Memphis and it's wet and green and we have trees. But they've got to do something about it. Like today. read more

Please check to go orders. My last two orders have been consistently just thrown together....literally could not eat. Very disappointed with quality that has been produced lately. read more

I'm updating this because RP Tracks recently introduced three vegetarian sandwiches, one of which is the Vegetarian Club, which is legendary. I have probably eaten five of them so far. Tofu is the "meat" of the sandwich, and you guys, toasted coconut for the bacon! Genius! It's soooo good. Also? They returned my call after I placed my order to tell me the sandwich came on honey wheat bread (oops, since I've eaten it 5 times, but oh well), so is not truly vegan that way, and offered to replace it with focaccia. Which sounds incredible anyway! But seriously, who cares that much about whether their vegan customer get truly vegan food? In my experience, not many restaurants. Definitely one of the most veg-friendly places in the city. read more

I got something different... alpha beta pita. .. it was very good but still no tree hugger.

Love their food and late night food and drinks, but they filter the music on the juke box so it's not worth it if you wanna listen to your fav songs. read more

RP Tracks has been serving yummy nom nom food for years. Mhm yas. Come on in and ask for Jacob. Ask for his special sause. It's creamy and delicious read more

I had the buffalo chicken quesadilla and it was outstanding. I would recommend it to anyone who Ioves hot wings. My wife had the BBQ tofu and she loved it. Of course she talked me into trying it and it surprised me by being a good sandwich. The only thing I would add is more BBQ sauce. RP Tracks is a unique place and it will now be a regular spot for us. read more

I'm not a vegetarian and I hardly ever eat tofu (because it can be cooked horribly) but the BBQ Tofu nachos here won me over. I was skeptical at first but friends urged me to try them. By the end I was searching for extra pieces of the BBQ tofu it was just that good. Highly recommend the nachos or anything with the BBQ tofu - it's well cooked and delicious! read more

During lunch today, the female manager could be overheard (in the dining room among the guests) ranting about one of her male employees for asking to take the 4th of July holiday off. She also complained that his performance was poor when he was going though a breakup. She wasn't talking to thw employee with which she had a problem; instead, she was speaking extremely negatively about this employee (who wasn't present) to a group of employees, even using profanity. I'm not sensitive to bad language, but the fact that a leader would carry on in this manner without regard for guests or the fact that she was speaking so poorly of one of her team members to a group of his peers is beyond disgusting. What a terrible place to work this must be... And I'd rather not eat in a place where employees are treated like trash. read more

Food was subpar.. and I have heard good things, so I was disappointed...but we had terrible service and the waitress was rude when we asked for anything. Replied, "I was coming back.. I was working." Took forever to get our food and then took forever to get our cards and bring them back. read more

This is a Memphis favorite. My fiancé eats here OFTEN! He lovesssssss their burgers! I always get the alpha beta pita, it's my favorite!

I would not have survived as a student at the UoM without this place. Its a bit divey, but very comfortable, and they remodeled their patio and accessory room. Lots of big TV's so its a great place to watch sports. They used to have the best prices on pitchers anywhere, but sadly, pitchers are no longer being served. Still good, local beers and an interesting southwestern flair in their food. I never liked tofu before I tried the BBQ tofu quesadilla and the burritos are also quite filling. The servers and staff are all very friendly and helpful. It is just the perfect college bar with a low key atmosphere, so you can bring your work or set up with friends to watch a game. read more

Big fan. In town on Friday, out on Sunday. I went in twice that weekend. Wasn't very busy either time I stopped. Super close to my hotel. And apperantly "on" campus. Super friendly bar staff, with recommendations as well and info on the town. Of course you have your brew selections on draft and bottels. I too was raved to about the BBQ tofu nachos. And Yes they are everything I was told they would be. Huge plate. Party size. Haha. Leftovers for breakfast b4 I caught my plane the next morning. And dang it I want to go back to TN if for nothing else a BBQ tofu burrito. I can only imagine. Maybe it'll be different at different times of the day/week but I really enjoyed myself. read more
