Sweet Grass

Memphis


Contemporary Lowcountry cuisine (the seafood-heavy cooking of the South Carolina and Georgia coasts) wins rave reviews at this casual Midtown restaurant, split between a more rambunctious bar side called Next Door (go for the fried-egg sandwich!) and a more refined bistro side with a more sophisticated menu, a new raw bar and some unforgettable shrimp and grits.

Oysters go for $1 each during the 5pm-to-7pm Tuesday-to-Friday happy hour. Save room for that deep-dish sour-cream apple pie, which ain't a bit like your granmomma's!
