    Patty Melt w/ House Cut Fries
    Adam H.

    RP Tracks is a U of M area institution. We have been coming here for as long as I can remember. I was twelve when it opened so that makes sense. There have been tons of memory killing clouds made since then. I missed a good 15 year block where I stopped coming for no good reason but have been back with them fairly regularly for the past couple years. The place is divey and has a cool laid back bar vibe. I am old now so I haven't been here to drink at night in a while, so not sure if it's as cool as it used to be. Servers and bar staff are pretty eclectic, but are always really nice, very attentive, and fast. They have one of the best burgers around and I love the Patty Melt. French fries and fresh cut and really good. Chicken tenders and the Nachos are also faves. I messed up once and got the catfish special. Don't do it, not good bruh. They have an "animal friendly" menu and honestly have some of the best vegetarian options around if that is your jam. BBQ tofu may sound strange, but it's actually really good. '24 - 33/100

    Nature Lover Sandwich with fries and a pickle

    Delicious! Went in for a semi-late meal after a long day of traveling and our meal was great. They have lots of options for anyone even those that don't eat meat. Service was quick and very kind.

    Reuben with fries
    Alex A.

    A solid local establishment. I'm a fan of their Reuben sandwich paired with tots, but you can't go wrong with fries. It's tasty and their secret sauce adds plenty of flavor. It pairs well with a Guinness. They have great service and a nice ambience all around. I need to come back to try their patty melt. Overall a solid place in the University area!

    Jalapeño Burger and sweet potato fries
    John S.

    RP Tracks was my go-to spot in college for food and drinks, so I was so happy to return for the first time after a 10-year hiatus. I was excited to see that the menu had diversified quite a bit from my collegiate days. There were a variety of healthier and plant-based entrees as well as some of my old favorites. I ordered the Jalapeño Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger came topped with melted cheddar cheese, grilled onions and, of course, jalapeños. The beef patty was sizable yet on the drier side without any notable flavor or seasoning. Unfortunately, the cheese, onions and jalapeños weren't enough to distract from how dry the burger was. The fluffy potato bun may have been my favorite part of the burger. I think the sandwich would have benefited from a spicy mayo or aioli. The sweet potato fries were unfortunately also underwhelming, lacking the signature sweet flavor profile that is common with these types of fries. A dusting of salt may have helped bring out the limited sweet notes. Despite the so-so food, the service was great. It was so nice to be back at my old stomping grounds, and I would certainly go back and explore more of the menu to see if I could find something I like.

    Parking is usually bad here since it is so close to campus. I came around 4PM so it was not that bad this time around. They also have Happy Hour until 7PM on weekdays so you get about $1 off on drinks. I ordered the jalapeno burger, tots, Surfer on Acid, and Long Island. They asked how I wanted the burger cooked and still gave it to me Well Done. The jalapeno burger was simple and tasty. The tots had no seasoning but they were nice and crispy. The Surfer on Acid is Jager, Vodka, and Coconut Rum. It tastes very sweet. The Long Island was great.

    RP Steakhouse Style Burgers
    Maurisha T.

    I decided to give RP Tracks a try on New Year's Day. We were able to find parking across the street and were seated right away. The restaurant had additional seating in a separate area which appeared to be an open-air area on a beautiful day. I noticed there was also a separate room with a couple of pool tables. I decided to try the RP Steakhouse Style Burgers. We did not have to wait long for our meals. I thought that the Steakhouse Style Burgers were just okay. My husband ordered them as well and he felt the same. The issue was that they lacked flavor. However, our friends that we dined with were pleased with their selections (Meat Lover Burrito & French Toast). The service was great and our server was super friendly. Because of that alone, I would definitely return. However, next time I will try something different.

    Absolutely love this spot ! Never knew it existed until tonight. They have $5 shots , pool, and good food! I had the jalapeño burger and it was amazing. All fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The waitress was very sweet and provided excellent service. The environment gave me college vibes and of course it's in a college area. They have a pool table and smoking area. Will be back to play pool very soon.

    Sausage egg and cheese on wheat with home fries and their signature chipotle sour cream! 10/10

    One of my fave neighborhood spots! The food is super reasonably priced, cooked with love, with awesome servers! Brunch is excellent (tastes like home) and you can't go wrong with catfish Fridays! Dog friendly patio for the double win

    My favorite brunch place in Memphis. When visiting it tops my must to visits. Not many pics as we were all starving and trying to survive a night before wedding. The food was gone before a pic. However I did get a pic of my spicy bloody- hair of the dog! The wait staff is always awesome and they have many vegetarian options.

    BBQ Tofu Nachos

    Came in with a party of 10 for a friends birthday and the staff took great care of us. The food was really good and everyone enjoyed what they had. The restaurant also has a very chill and welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend!

    Very good college town bar. They got the drinks I ordered very quickly and correctly. The quesadilla I have had several times is fabulous.

    Apparently, if you drink more than a shot, the bitchy bartenders will cut you off. Would not recommend this shithole to my worst enemy.

    Vibes- very cool, artsy location with dim lighting and an eclectic crowd…read moreDrinks- pretty & strong, but probably 8/10 on flavor Pasta- 10/10 probably hands down the best pasta I've had in a long while. Rich, well seasoned, and fresh Service was also awesome and there's a secret dessert menu our group really enjoyed!

    It pains me to have to leave this review. I came here once before several months ago and was very…read moreimpressed. I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.
