At Huey’s, the star of the show is undoubtedly their world famous Huey Burger. This delectable creation features a perfectly grilled patty layered with your choice of classic toppings like mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, mustard, pickles, onions, and your choice of cheddar or Swiss cheese—all sandwiched between a buttered, toasted sesame seed bun.

And no meal is complete without a sweet finish. Indulge in the Homemade Lemon Icebox Pie, offering a refreshingly tangy end, or savor the Rock Slide, a decadent brownie dessert topped with caramel and vanilla ice cream, perfect for sharing or simply devouring yourself.

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. Our server checked in on us a few times and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking is really easy with a lot out front.

Hello! I tried to upload a photo but Google wouldn't let me for some reason... Anyway, I live in Phoenix, Arizona but my dad and step mom live in Memphis. Every time I come to visit we go here (Poplar location) for dinner. My parents LOVE this place. They always order the fries for a starter since my dad says they are the best. I'm pretty sure they go to this location once or twice a month? I have eaten here on a few occasions and I have enjoyed my food and the service is very good. I'm one of those people that will read negative reviews just to see what the complainers say and I have to share I personally have never had those experiences with Hueys. Cold food, bad service, etc. Every time I have gone it's been fine. If my dad ever had a negative experience trust me he wouldn't continue to go.... I look forward to my next visit with my dad and I'm sure we will go here again since we usually do. Thank you!

Your Server May or May Not Bite You: If you’re looking for a burger that hits the spot and a dining experience with a little unpredictability, this is the place. The food’s classic and satisfying, but the real seasoning comes from the staff—equal parts friendly and feral. One moment you’re chatting about toppings, the next you’re wondering if eye contact was a mistake. It’s all part of the charm.

Loves Hueys food was good and it has a good vibe inside definitely worth checking out

If you visit Memphis Huey’s Is the quintessential local grill and bar. Take a seat at the bar and you’ll have new friends in no time! The food is always good. Prices are fair, service is above average always. Not fancy, not trendy…but it works

A cool restaurant. Very nice, attentive staff. The best hamburger I've had in years!
