Barksdale Restaurant

"Country ham is a breakfast meat with character, and Barksdale serves some of the best!"
Cliff Strutz






"Light airy biscuits, straight from the oven; you couldn't ask for a better way to start your day."
Cliff Strutz



"On the plate: grits, over-easy eggs, and a slice of country ham. In the background are biscuits and to the right, this side of the coffee, is red-eye gravy."
Michael Stern



"A perfectly cooked sausage, bacon, and cheese omelet sided by hash browns with cheese and onions."
Gregg Pill



"The well-worn booths serve as a reminder that Barksdale is no Johnny-come-lately to the Memphis dining scene."
Cliff Strutz



"Expect to be treated well by the staff here at Barksdale."
Cliff Strutz



"A true Memphis cafe, where the locals eat. But in this case, it was a traveler from afar who left his knapsack and two puppy companions outside while he went in for a meal."
Michael Stern



"During a recent visit, we were too busy enjoying breakfast of ham, grits and gravy to take pictures before we ate. But on the way out we shot this one to show what the place looks like."
