Desserts

Banana Foster Pie

Southern Pecan Pie

A traditional favorite, and it's pronounced puh-con. If you say pee-can the server won't know what you are talking about.

Fruit Cobbler

Ask your server the flavor of the day. Whatever it is, get it. They are all delicious.

Key Lime Pie

This ain't the Caribbean and but we do get a nice breeze off the big muddy. Goes best with an ice-cold draft beer in a frosty glass.

We went here s couple of times, and the best night was on Wednesday because of good music. However, both nights on Wednesday and Thursday the food and staff were absolutely great. Highly recommend this place, especially on a Wednesday night when a great band plays.

Rum Boogie Café on Beale Street is downright cool! Not an inch of this place goes untouched! There’s so much to look at, it’s incredible. You can feel the energy and history that’s passed through here, even during the day!

We had the breaded mushroom appetizer, which hit the spot, and the drinks were heavy pours, a definite plus! Loved the cherry margaritas! There was just one guy running both the bar and food service, and he did a fantastic job keeping...

Awesome place to sit and have a few drinks while listening to a good band! We loved sitting outside on the patio people watching as well. Had a great time there. Will definitely visit again when we travel back to Memphis.
