Warm Food, Warm Hearts
As winter weather sweeps through Memphis, shaking up our routines and closing some businesses, several local restaurants are still serving up comfort and community. Whether you’re near Midtown, South Main, Collierville, or East Memphis, there are resilient kitchens open and ready to welcome you and your family.
Where to Dine In or Take Out
Popular spots like Huey’s, Soul Fish Cafe, and Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken have reported open locations despite icy conditions. Locally-beloved coffee shops and diners are also offering reduced hours or curbside service. Many eateries recommend calling ahead or checking their social media for the latest updates, as staffing and road safety may affect service. For a live-updating list, visit Commercial Appeal.

From classic barbecue joints near Cooper-Young to pizzerias in Germantown, Memphis food culture knows how to show up even when the temperature drops. Many establishments also offer hot meal delivery, so you can support local businesses from the comfort of your Grizzlies blanket.
