A classic piece of Memphis dining history
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/8/07
The Arcade has been in M-town for YEARS, is family-owned, and most native Memphians have never heard of it. It's on South Main Street, which has recently been booming with business and condos, so I anticipate that the place will have (if it hasn't already) a big revival. The exterior and interior is classic diner, complete with vinyl booths and a gorgeous light-up sign. The menu's great, offering diner classics, as well as pizza. The food always tastes very fresh and well prepared, but the pizza is most impressive for a diner. My favorite is the Ms. Pollly's Greek Lover. However, it also boasts awesome breakfast. I especially enjoy the French toast. Price is good, staff is friendly, and it's an overall great place to go for a meal...even if it's just for the history and surroundings!
