Server's mustache was fire. Vibes were fire. Burger was fire. Yeah! Minus points, none of the ceiling toothpicks fell into my bf's food. (Bf's review) very good! Glad no toothpicks fell into my food! read more

As always, the food was fooding. The shrimp (Cobb Salad w/Buffalo shrimp) was cooked to perfection with the right amount of buffalo! The salad, very fresh and filling - loads of variety. The bacon (while real bacon) isn't my favorite, but it's on the side. My tummy thanked me!!! Tonight was probably the slowest and quietest night that I've been to the Poplar Ave. location. The service was abnormally off - not horrible, but off. 7/10 overall - honorable mention always goes to the extended patio! read more

Huey's Poplar - East Memphis - Burgers Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Huey's ... They are all pretty much the same. I have considered copy and paste for all locations... But I will resist. Fried pickles are always tasty. Service is almost always efficient (you do get a bad server every now and then). My last two visits at this location ... Had terrible service ... So it looses a star. All food is pretty consistent ... I always order the Grilled Tuna sandwich or Salad. It's not fantastic but it is pretty tasty and pretty consistent every visit ... Every location. I don't generally like steak fries ... But Huey's does this particular offering just rite. Crispy outside and tender fluff inside. And this location seems to get it rite every time (some locations kinda hit and miss). All in all Huey's is a consistent, reliable, relatively quick spot to grab a bite. Hope to see ya there! ;) read more

I can't say enough good things about Huey's This is the second location we have been to and everything was perfect. Fun and inviting atmosphere... Friendly and helpful service... Fantastic food... I would rather eat a good Smashburger than a filet mignon .... I don't know if that puts me in the minority, but who cares... Their burger starts with a great bun! And it gets even better from there..... great caramelization on the meat too! You can see we had the fried pickles, haystack onions, the chips and salsa ..... all so, so good This is mandatory eating when we come visit our son at school.... read more

Went to this place late night. Wasn't crowded. The server took our drink orders. Server took our food orders. Food came very late and was served by other server. Since the 1st server was getting their 18% tip since it after 11pm, they did the bare minimum so they didn't get any extra tip from us. The place was getting cleaned up after the fact since patrons were leaving. I've been to several Huey's locations and I don't think I'll be going to this East Memphis location anymore. Music was not the rock and roll music that I usually hear at a Huey's. It was more like Jamaican or Bahamas music which I like at other restaurants, just not Huey's! read more

I asked for my wings to be made a lil crispy, and they are burnt and dry...I had to go by inside of The To Go...and ask for some sauce to make them a little better, I didn't have time to reorder read more

There is a reason I keep coming back to this place. This is hands down the best bar in Memphis. I guess I am going to review this place every time I come to Memphis because I come here every time I visit Memphis. I don't even live in Memphis and I visit this bar more than any other bar in the US. I don't think that I have ever had a bad experience at this venue. I came here to watch the game with friends. They have opened a new section in the back. The drink prices are very good. My friend ordered a Manhattan for $6. I got a double shot of whiskey and coke for $5.25. Huey's is one of my favorite bars in Memphis. read more

After hearing about the experience my friend and their family had at the Poplar location of Huey's, I honestly have no desire to support this establishment. A family should be able to enjoy dinner without allegedly being stereotyped, threatened with police involvement, or treated unfairly while another intoxicated customer is protected and accommodated. The details shared about racial slurs, management escalating the situation, and repeatedly referring to "Black people being aggressive" are deeply disturbing if true. What makes it worse is that responding officers reportedly found no crime had occurred and determined the situation had been unnecessarily escalated in the first place. Businesses in Memphis receive heavy support from the Black community, and situations like this leave people questioning whether that support is genuinely respected. Customer service, professionalism, and fairness should apply to everyone equally. Based on what was shared, this situation appears to have been handled poorly from start to finish. I hope ownership thoroughly investigates what happened and holds the appropriate people accountable. read more

Dining review based on my visit 12-27-25. I ordered the Texas toast burger and a basket of fries. My friend ordered the smash burger. My burger arrived cold, the Texas toast was not toasted, cheese was cold, some grilled onion, no jalapeños. The fries were cold and limp. The smash burger was good. We sent the fries and Texas toast burger back. They brought a new basket of fries which were warm and crispy (much better). The toast on the burger was brought back toasted but there was still no jalapeños. They took it back again and put lots of cold jalapeños on it. It was horrible, sent it back and did not want replacement. They did take it off the bill. The service was extremely slow. Needless to say I will not go back to that location. I have recently eaten at the Hueys in Germantown and it was excellent. read more

Huey's cheese fries will always be college nostalgia for me. As always these were amazing. I also got the Old Tyne A1 Burger. It was good though not my favorite thing on the menu. The service there was very nice. Our server checked in on us a few times and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night, but we had no problems with having to wait. read more

Hueys is always a good experience, even if their prices keep creeping up. I've never had a problem with service or food. It's a bit loud and service drags sometimes, but that's just in the nature of this kind of place. read more

One of the staples of Memphis which is why they continue to thrive! Consistently great food and service. Thank you for being such a great part of our city/community! read more

I felt unwanted at the establishment. As if my skin color was a problem. Lady who served me was rude , threw straws on the table. I tried I flick my pick on the ceiling like the tradition is but I was told to stop. I noticed the hostess also sat me further back in the restaurant where they put waste. I noticed other black couples in that area too. I seen a white man flick his toothpick and there wasn't anything said to him. Food was mediocre. Do not recommend. read more

My family and I experienced a deeply disturbing and racially incident at Huey's Restaurants (Poplar Location) as we were waiting on our table. One of their visibly intoxicated guests arrived and hit my car door due to parking in a tight space. I approached him and asked him if he'd move his truck because the space was tight and his girlfriend had already hit my car door twice trying to get out. He immediately started making cocky remarks about being able to afford a big truck and he can park anywhere he wants. The young lady he was with agreed with me once I told her, I just watched you hit my car door twice and you could barely fit through the space. I also stated on that same side I have a car seat there and that will not be enough room for me to be able to open the door and put my son in the car. As he saw her engaging in conversation with me and that she was in agreement, he really became angry and that's when my spouse stepped in and told him to direct all his comments to him and not me. The incident escalated because the white guy walked in and started cursing and yelling out racial slurs. That's when management came out. They immediately sat this couple and they continued to be served alcohol while being disruptive, yet management chose to side with them and asked us to leave instead of removing them or fairly addressing the situation. As we attempted to calmly express our frustrations of what just happened, two managers escalated the situation by calling the police and stating they had "Black people being super aggressive" and needed officers to hurry before things escalated. That statement alone speaks volumes. We had already decided we would no longer patronize or spend our money at an establishment that clearly lacks basic respect, dignity, and fairness toward Black customers before they even suggested that "y'all should just leave." However, once the threat of "we called the police" was repeatedly used against us, we chose to stay because we had done absolutely nothing wrong. The word "police" was used over and over as if we were criminals who should be intimidated into leaving. It was degrading, unnecessary, and felt like blatant racial profiling. The female manager also appeared visibly intoxicated while on duty...low eyes, slurred speech, and clearly under the influence. When we directly asked her if she had been drinking on the job, she admitted "yes" with a smirk. How can someone effectively manage a restaurant or properly de-escalate conflict while impaired? A bystander who witnessed the entire situation even stepped in and told management they were asking the wrong people to leave and expressed how wrong the situation was. She requested the store manager's information, and the manager confidently handed out cards that read "Ashley Hooppaw-Ranson, General Manager," almost as if she believed there would be no accountability for her actions. In the climate we live in today, racist injustice and racial profiling are still very real, and experiences like this are exactly why so many Black families no longer feel safe or respected in certain establishments. That restaurant was approximately 70% Black patrons last night, and businesses like this continue to thrive in this city largely because of the support of the Black community. Yet when conflict arose, we were immediately labeled "aggressive" instead of being heard. Two police officers initially responded...one white officer and another officer I believe may have been Indian. I truly wish I had gotten the second officer's name because he approached us respectfully and professionally. Both officers quickly realized no crime had been committed, no disturbance had occurred, and that the situation had been unnecessarily escalated. They listened to our concerns, did not ask us to leave the property, and even advised additional responding officers and National Guard personnel that they were not needed. They advised this was civil and I should take pictures now if we decide to escalate this to insurance. It was humiliating and heartbreaking that a family of 10 could not simply enjoy dinner without being racially stereotyped and treated like a threat simply because we were Black and frustrated about not being heard...while a visibly white patron was allowed to be loud, belligerent, intoxicated, and out of control without consequence. The managers involved should be held accountable for filing a false and exaggerated police report, and I absolutely intend to report the female manager to the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Situations like this make you wonder how often restaurants call the police on Black customers instead of taking the time to properly de-escalate situations fairly and respectfully. It is a waste of resources, a misuse of taxpayer dollars, and most importantly, a painful reminder that racial bias and injustice still exist in everyday spaces. I ask you to stop supporting this establishment. read more

Great food. My husband and I both had the club and my 7YO had the grilled cheese, which was good. The cheese fries were also good. Great service. We were grateful they were open late. read more

saturday at Heuys has been a thing for myself and my grandson for 11 years. Southaven to Millington we eat at them all. And while there have been hiccups along the way, today was unacceptable and we will never eat Heuys again. Location was poplar at Erin Brennan dr. at noon. We waited at the door for an inordinate amount of time to be noticed, ok fine we get a table super nice waitress, all is well.....until we spilled a drink. The table was so unlevel it was more like a rodeo ride rising and lowering 3-5 inches each time the kid leaned forward. Water goes everywhere, my shoes are wet, the table is soaked and its running in the floor like niagra falls. we waited over 30 min for them to clean it up. We went to bathroom ourselves and got paper towels to dry what we could, it needed a mop or large amounts of towels. Finally I ask, um can someone come and clean this up. again we wait, and then we get Ashley, the GM, she doubles as the general bit$$ as well. She was defensive and immediately blamed staff for not informing her of the spill, I was thinking as the general manager you would be mindful and wouldn't need to be informed and told her as much. She then became stupid and acted as if I was the one in the wrong for bringing it up, after enlightening her on this faux pas she tried to backpedal. Anyways enough, best of luck Ashley pashley people can decide where to spend their money and we will not spend it at Heuys. The burger good as always, customer service and respect negative read more

We had a large party of 8, including 2 kids, so we called ahead. They were very accommodating, moving a couple tables together, etc. They seated us in their heated patio thankfully, for the live band was way too loud. Service was quick and friendly. The ambience was good - seems that other groups were there to enjoy (without bothering others). We had a great variety of items, including obviously, their famous burgers. All good. read more

I miss Huey's burgers so much! In the SW USA all the burgers are smashed! I grew up on the big fat burger, dripping with grease! I miss it so very much! My other favorite is their French Dip with onion straws! Service is always quick and friendly. The restaurant is half bar, half restaurant and always poppin! read more

I had heard Hueys had really fallen off lately but I had not wanted to believe it since I go pretty regularly and the food is usually good. Last time I had a West Coast burger where the bun was dry and stale, the guac watery, a 1 inch thick raw onion slice that made it hard to bite and the meat tasted like a generic sysco frozen patty despite asking for medium rare. The onion rings were OK but I got a few inedible hard onion skin pieces. The smash burger seems popular so I will give Huey's another chance, hopefully it was just an off night. But it was clear the kitchen was just phoning it in. I could've gotten a much better burger a whataburger read more

Sarah is the worst waitress, I have ever had here at Huey's. If she is your waiter ask for another. Slow at everything and we found out that our food was on the counter for 15+ mins before she brought it to us. read more

first thing, the host (who later turned into our server) had a really bad attitude when told the size of our party. when coming up to greet the party he clearly did not want us as a table and was very dismissive. service took a minute which i know is not him and us being a 10 person party it makes sense but he came over to greet new guests and completely ignored anyone else at the table. the whole table was in service industry and felt disrespected. with that being said being in service industry we normally tip on grat but not tonight. hope your attitude was worth it KP. read more

Food was 10/10! It took a little bit to get our order, but we snacked on some appetizers. No wait for a party of 5. Very clean inside and on the patio. Can accommodate larger parties. Kid friendly. Will recommend to anyone traveling to Memphis! read more

I was visiting from NY state and saw this place had great reviews, so I stopped by for some take out. I am so happy I did because the place great. It was clean and vibrant and the staff and food were wonderful. The bartender was very outgoing and told me about some cool attractions in the area. The menu is diverse and has something for everyone. I am sure the locals already know about this place, but if you are not from the area, definitely try this place out. You will not be disappointed. read more

The Reuben was really good, and so were the fried pickles, only negative was the small portion size for the pickles. The Philly cheese stake sandwich was really good as well.

Been a huge Huey's fan for most of my life, grew up in Memphis and I'm 50 now. I actually don't even look at the menu when I go, it's "Bluez 57 burger with extra onion straws and side of mayo" This burger has been what I judge ALL burgers against when I eat at other places. Sadly, I met my daughter for lunch who shares the affinity for this burger, and when I ordered the waitress said "sorry that burger is not on the menu anymore". WHATTTT!! Man, that's too bad, I'm sure there is other good stuff there, but my world was shook to it's foundation. I'm sure I will just look for a similar burger elsewhere, but that's been a tough ask. Huey's PLEASE bring back the bluez 57 to the birthplace of the blues. Disappointed customer. read more

Asked a maintenance person where was a good place to eat near our hotel, and he recommended Huey's. It was a cool, neighborhood place that was pretty busy for a Wednesday night at 7. Peyton did great as our server. The wife loved the sausage and cheese platter she got, and my patty melt was awesome. Cooked a perfect medium. I love a good patty melt. We really liked the place and will get back over there again. read more

I was looking for a restaurant that was good and was open later and online everyone rated Hueys highly; after going there i can see why. Overall, good service, good food and great adherence to safety protocols. We had about a 15 minute wait but the hostess was working to seat us quickly, once seated we got the phone on our menus and ordered and onion ring as an appetizer, buffalo wings, hueys burger and thai salad. Each meal was good with good portion size and good flavor - the breading on the onion ring was really good and the salad was surprisingly good the good food was added to by good customer service and good adherence to safety protocols. Overall a great place to enjoy a relaxed meal read more

Service was decent. Not sure who messed up my burger, but it's not good when you order a medium cooked burger and your coworker orders a medium well burger, and they get switched on the buns! SMH! But, the food was OK. And the environment was eclectic. I'd go back but with hesitancy. read more

It's still a nice place and the servers are good but the food has definitely suffered over the years

I was looking forward to going to Huey's. I had never been, although I lived in Memphis for a few years back in the late 80s/early 90s. Overall, it was so so. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the great experience I expected. PROS * Nice server, attentive and friendly * Easy and ample parking * Convenient location * Good seating * Good value * Lots of food options CONS * My fries were room temperature * The bread on my hamburger was cool. Weird. * The restaurant has graffiti all over the walls. That's probably the style / decor. But it seemed weird on the child changing table in the men's room. read more
