Founded in 1919 by Greek immigrant Speros Zepatas, the Arcade began as a small wooden café serving simple meals. In 1925, it was rebuilt as the brick structure that still stands today, earning its name from the popular architectural style of the era.
Over a century later, the Arcade holds the title of Memphis’s oldest operating café, a rare survivor in a city shaped by change. Its walls carry the stories of generations who passed through its doors.
Among its most famous guests was Elvis Presley. In the 1950s, he often slipped into a quiet back booth, now preserved for fans. His favorite order—a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich—remains a signature menu item.
The menu celebrates Southern comfort food, from hearty breakfasts to milkshakes and the famous Eggs Redneck. Every dish reflects tradition, warmth, and familiarity.
