About this tour
Follow the flavors of Memphis from South Main toward Beale Street on a three-hour food tour with five tastings and stories of the city along the way. Memphis Food Tour with 5 Tastings begins with a surprise dish inside one of the city’s oldest restaurants, then serves two styles of ribs side by side: sauced and dry-rubbed, with coleslaw and beans. Taste spicy fried chicken and gumbo before finishing with a deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a playful nod to Elvis’s sweet tooth.
Between stops, walk through Memphis history. Hear about the yellow fever epidemic, pause outside the Lorraine Motel, and learn how Beale Street helped carry the blues around the world. The route brings local food and landmark stories together, with a guide leading the way from South Main toward the neon glow of Beale Street. The menu and itinerary can change with venue availability, weather, and other circumstances; contact the provider ahead of time about dietary needs.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
