What the community has to say about Cupboard

Information about this business (2)

The Cupboard Restaurant was established in 1943. It has been a Memphis favorite for almost 70 years. Charles Cavallo purchas...ed The Cupboard in 1992. Charles owned a successful produce company for 10 years prior to buying The Cupboard. After 57 years, on April 1, 2000, the original Cupboard moved to its current larger location down the street at 1400 Union Avenue. This location offers the...

The eggplant casserole alone is reason enough to come here for lunch. Also on offer, though, are a number of plate lunch specials, with an emphasis on vegetable choices. There's a popular selection of desserts, as well, all served efficiently by the long-tenured wait staff. There's always a wait during lunch time at this down-home eatery, but the "community" table makes this a good dining spot...

The veggies alone (22 varieties daily) are cause enough to visit, with the eggplant casserole and the sublime mac 'n' cheese seeming straight from the pages of How to Make the Richest Side Dish at Your Church Potluck. Proprietor Charles...

Located in a tastefully restored historic building, this quietly stylish gallery runs exceptionally good shows (with material sometimes borrowed from the New Orleans Museum of Art), from a detailed retrospective of Storyville photographer E. J. Bellocq to a Haitian-art exhibit (with an emphasis on Haitian voodoo flags) to a New Orleans ReBirth show featuring four artists who have returned to...

Get in line--people flock for the Southern-style specialties found at this Memphis mainstay.

The Scene
This ever-popular restaurant has been around since 1943, but changed digs in 2000, moving to an old Shoney's a few blocks away. The dining room is larger, service is still...
