Blue Plate Cafe

Went for lunch, it was ok. Nothing special I have had better. Got the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. Out of the entire meal the cornbread was great with the whipped butter.

Blue Plate is the best breakfast spot in Memphis. My mom and I ate here at Blue Plate in October 2017 when we visited Memphis for the first time. We're Chicago natives. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. The food was absolutely delicious. The food was served fresh & hot. We had pancakes, waffles, hash browns, bacon and sausage. The food was very filling and we had no complaints. Blue Plate is not expensive & you get quality food. We would definitely recommend Blue Plate to anyone who visits Memphis and wants a nice inexpensive good country breakfast.

Food was good as it usually is, but today, as soon as you walked in you could smell urine.
We thought it was maybe concentrated just up front, so we decided to stay. Got seated in back, and although it was better, you could still smell it.
Food was on point, coffee was good. Went to pay and mentioned the smell to the lady up front taking all the bills. She said she would call the manager, but I asked for an adjustment to the bill, which she gave. But I said, I cannot be the first one to mention this today. She kind of played it off.

I have been to this location 3 times. Trust me, there was no strong urine smell the other times. Not sure when the bathrooms were cleaned last, but I did not dare go in there to find out.
