We have a new tradition where we find the oldest bar/pub in a town we are visiting. The Green Beetle was that in Memphis. We went on a Friday mid afternoon was welcomed the moment we walked in. Great atmosphere and great burgers. Thanks to Josh and his friendly staff for making us feel welcome. The regulars are a pretty good crowd also.
Been here off and on for years. Usually get a B.L.O, not B.L.T. Had the Ribeye for steak night. A bit thinly cut, but it was a good cut of meat and was cooked to a proper medium rare as I requested. Both the steak and potato were very tasty. Good price and efficient service.
Energetic servers and bartender! Be sure to try their signature drink, the bushwacker!
Great burgers and fries, serves hard cider and beer. Not an extensive menu but what they do, they do well. Accommodating to gluten-free, very friendly and helpful staff. I recommend the Bacon, black and Tiger blue burger.
Really good, juicy burger. My girlfriend's catfish wasn't that great though. Also they serve no liquor, only beer. Cool place to hang out and watch games.
Best burger in Memphis. I didn't have very high expectations since I had eaten at Huey's for lunch and thought their burgers couldn't be beat. I was very surprised and have found my new place for burgers! The bun was even to die for. The service was also excellent and the atmosphere very cool. I can't wait to go back!
Massive Burgers and big Beer selection. I like a good burger!
I really like a good burger on a fat bun.
A burger with a fat bun, and hash browns, and a fried egg on it? Yeah, that's one of the best things on the planet.
Now, price, not so much. I substituted sweat potatoe waffle fries and had a Red Bull to drink, $19.00, so after a tip I'm out $25 for the experience. Maybe it was that good, but it was Thursday night, so I also had to sit through Trivia.
I'll be thinking twice about my next visit, but not because of the food or service. Price and noise are the issues.
Place is old but clean, regulars and tourists are here. Blocks from National Civil Rights and MLK. Access from the trolly line too.
Local hangout. Admittedly, I only ever the grilled cheese...but it's a darn good grilled cheese! My husband generally like everything he orders, but his favorite is the meatball sandwich. Overall, the food is tasty, the staff is friendly and it's a nice laid-back place to hangout to watch a game or listen to live music.
My wife and I are in Memphis from Alaska and tried the green beetle last night. I had the best cheeseburger that I have ever eaten and my wife had an excellent catfish poboy. Let me tell you, you can't find food like this in Alaska and if I lived in Memphis I would probably eat here once a week. Two thumbs up!
Best burger in town and they deliver! How can you go wrong? Plus great beer selection on tap.Hidden jewel downtown.
Excellent place for happy hour. I suggest the nachos as a starter when you place your order for one of the local brews on tap. I had the sausage with peppers po' boy and onion rings. If you like onion rings, you must get theirs! They were cooked perfectly with the beer batter crisp and the onions not overcooked.
3.4 stars. Food: 3.5
Ambiance: 3.5
Service: 3
The burger was really big, messy, and juicy! What more could you ask for? Maybe a little salt on the patty, but other than that, everything was really yummy. The tots were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft in the middle. We left stuffed and satisfied. I certainly highly recommend giving them a try.
This big willy chicken sandwich was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. On the Monday before fourth of July, we weren't certain that any venue would be open. My girlfriend had the mushroom Swiss burger and she could only eat a third of it. Big ol fried chicken breast dipped in a sweat heat concoction. Server was great as well.
Overall a great meal. My dad has been trying to get us to go for years, and we are glad we finally got to. Our server, Tasha did a great job anticipating our needs. It's a hot day, so she kept the drinks coming. We ordered the Cajun chicken tater tots first, and they were a taste explosion. The Fiesta salad was perfect for me and my husband loved his Sly burger. The egg was a perfect sunny side up. My daughter and father got burgers as well and loved them. The new chef is certainly on her game. Highly recommend, even if you are like us and don't drink.
Food, drinks and service were all very good. Pub grub. Highly recommend.
Cool bar with a lot of seating inside and an outdoor patio. Looks like a comfy pub with great drinks and large selection of beers, but it also has awesome food. The burger had a great meaty taste, and the fried catfish was perfect, crunchy and juicy at the same time. The grilled chicken was a surprise star. My MIL got a goat salad and added grilled chicken. It was delicious. Juicy with a great flavor. Def will go back next time I’m in Memphis.

It is beyond dangerous that I live within 5 miles of this place. I came here to celebrate my friends birthday a couple weeks ago and we couldn’t have had a better time or better food anywhere else in the city. The service was quick and very very hospitable. I don’t remember our servers name, unfortunately, but he was very funny and welcoming. THE. FOOD. THOUGH!!!! We got the Cajun chicken tater tots as an appetizer and i didn’t want to order a burger after trying them because I just wanted about 76 more orders of the tots!! The cheese was soooo good (and my husband is snobby about melted cheese and he had no complaints lol!), the chicken was divine, the tater tots brought tears to my eyes. After much deliberation, I didn’t end up ordering more of them as my meal, and I’m so glad I didn’t. I got the green beetle burger (without mustard) with tots, my husband got the bacon cheddar burger with fries, my friend got a quesadilla, and her husband got the pimento cheese burger. The burger was absolutely cooked in heaven…sooo melty (can meat be melty? Here it can!), well seasoned, the cheese was perfect, and all the fixings worked amazingly. Now the time for the age old question: fries or tots???? I was very on the fence (with indecision because they both looked sooo good), but after the appetizer I KNEW I had to get the tots. My husband got the fries. Both were amazing(!!!!), but I *slightly* preferred the tots (sorry, fries, you were beautiful too). Oh, and for my ranch family, the ranch was also good!! Everyone loved their dishes very, very much! I was able to get a picture of those marvelous Cajun chicken tater tots, but that was before I ate them. Once I ate them, I was in sort of a trance until my burger got there and didn’t take a picture because I no longer had the control to take one before I ate, knowing now what the food was going to taste like. So I just included a bonus picture of the stained glass window inside. I know, I apologize. Just go eat there. You’re welcome.
Edit: added pics of the burgers and the new menu after going back the day after they reopened!
I really love to support local businesses. This restaurant was so quaint and the food was good. I had the catfish dinner dish, and we ate the chicken tots for the appetizer, really good!! Our server was so sweet too, I don't recall her name but she had long dread type braids with pink tips. :)
Food was great! The service was amazing! I'll definitely be coming back. If anyone is thinking about trying this place out don't hesitate. It's by far some of the best burgers I've had in the Memphis area.
Got the Goat burger takeout. Big juicy burger cooked medium with a touch of pink (how I like it) good amount of fries. I would go back and eat here again.
We walked in close to close and the server was kind when telling us the kitchen was close. She allowed me to use the restroom. I forgot my wallet there. By the time I realized it, they were actually close. We called over and over and someone picked up, checked, and allowed us to pick it up at open the next day. I was grateful.
