Description:
The Arcade Restaurant in Memphis, founded in 1919 by Greek immigrant Speros Zepatos, is the city's oldest continuously operating café and still sits in the 1925 building that replaced the original structure. The diner took on its iconic 1950s look when Zepatos’s son renovated it, helping preserve its retro charm through decades of downtown changes. It became a local landmark with ties to Elvis Presley, who often visited and favored a specific booth that remains marked today. Popular dishes include sweet potato pancakes, Eggs Redneck, country fried steak with eggs, classic biscuits and gravy, and the famous fried peanut butter and banana sandwich associated with Elvis.
