Lunch in Memphis

[NYCfoodgirl]

My family and I are planning a trip to Memphis and we're looking for spots for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. My husband wants to check-out Midtown so that would be our first choice for location (we'll be at Automatic Slim's for Saturday night dinner.). We'll have a baby with us so we'd would prefer not to have an insane wait for Sunday brunch. Thanks in advance!

Most people I know think Automatic Slim's has gone downhill since it changed owners a few years ago. If you don't have an event or a reason to go there, I agree with dailybread, I'd look at other spots downtown.

Beauty Shop is a fun and tasty Sunday Brunch in midtown (owned by the woman who used to own Automatic Slim's, when it was better, actually). There are also a ton of places downtown doing brunch now - Majestic Grille near the Orpheum and South of Beale a little further south both come to mind. The Peabody has a Sunday Brunch that used to be a big deal but I haven't been in ages and I think they've changed it up - I'd probably skip that.

It's sad to hear about Slim's. It was very good and very unique when Karen Carrier owned it. She has been a tremendous asset to the Memphis culinary scene.
