Huey's
Ask Memphians where to get the best burger in town, and you'll invariably be directed to Huey's. With a layer of melting cheese, the thick, perfectly cooked hamburgers are definite two-handers, and they come with fries that are simply addictive: crisp around the edges and full of creamy potato goodness inside. With a graffiti wall and ceiling full of toothpicks (shot up by patrons using straws), this affordable, casual tavern has been a favorite local hang since the 1970s. The original Huey's, at 1927 Madison Ave. (tel. 901/726-4372), in the Overton Square area, is still in business. In recent years, 10 locations have sprouted in East Memphis and beyond.
