Arcade Restaurant

The Arcade Restaurant is Memphis’s oldest cafe, founded in 1919 and popular with Elvis Presley in his early years. The site is frequently included on local ghost tours and in media accounts of haunted Memphis; some visitors and staff have reported unexplained footsteps, moving shadows, and odd noises in the building’s older dining areas. These reports are anecdotal and typically presented as part of the restaurant’s long history during guided tours and local storytelling.
