Places we ate at in the area

Cat House Café
Very good bbq! We tried ribs, pulled chicken, and brisket with Mac and cheese, potato salad, fries, and beans. Everything was delicious.
Memphis Barbecue Company
Always worth a stop here for a quick drink! Use the app for happy hour all the time
Sonic Drive-In
Across the street from the super 8. Great if you need a specialty drink or snack
Starbucks
Things to Do
Places that are fun to visit
A very cool zoo with an Egyptian theme. My kids loved the Nile crocodile
Memphis Zoo
Definitely worth a stop! Get there at 10 am to enjoy a drink before the ducks come down at 11 am. Kids are invited to sit around the red carpet. Paid parking or valet. Gift shop, coffee shop, bar, and restaurant on site.
The Peabody Memphis
We did not stop here even though we were so close. I really want to some day but my kids are so young I figure we can come again in several years!
Graceland

If we had more time I would have liked to stop at the Goodwill bin store since I have never been to one.

We did not have time to stop here but we heard they have really great deals-Especially at under armor
