A Food Lover’s Paradise
Collierville Town Square has been named Parade Magazine’s Best Main Street in America, and it’s not hard to see why. This vibrant square is home to some of the best restaurants in the Memphis area. Just a short drive from Memphis International Airport, Collierville’s Main Street and historic district welcome visitors with open arms and hungry appetites.
A Feast for the Senses
As you ponder over what culinary delight to indulge in, take a moment to soak in the picturesque scene around you. Collierville’s award-winning Town Square is adorned with Greek Revival architecture, unique boutiques, and home accessory stores. You’ll even find a full-service gas station that has been serving the community since 1927. Immerse yourself in the local history by exploring a 1940s train depot, museum, and railcars.
Music and More
For over 150 years, music has been a driving force in Collierville. Every Friday evening from October to April, the Town Square comes alive with the sounds of bluegrass and traditional folk music. Local musicians from across the region gather to share their talents, creating a truly magical atmosphere. While you enjoy the music, treat yourself to a delicious coffee or specialty drink from Square Beans Coffee, where local roasters have carefully crafted flavors that will delight your taste buds.
Classic Cars and Nostalgia
Another unique experience on Collierville’s Main Street is the Classic Car Show. Every other Wednesday from March to November, classic car owners proudly display their prized vehicles along Main Street. It’s a sight to behold as admirers gather to appreciate some of the finest rides in the Mid-South.
A Taste of History
Speaking of stepping back in time, a visit to the Silver Caboose is like sitting down at your grandmother’s Southern table. This family-owned restaurant has been serving up delicious meals since 1996. Their Silver Plate Special, a classic meat-and-three plate, is a must-try. And don’t forget to indulge in their original 19th-century soda fountain.
International Flavors
Collierville is not just about Southern cuisine. Did you know that curry is one of Scotland’s most popular dishes? At the Highlander Pub, you can savor traditional fish and chips, as well as a variety of elevated dishes that reflect the diverse flavors of the Scottish landscape. Pair your meal with a local brew on tap and enjoy live music on Friday and Saturday nights.
A Charming Encounter
For a truly unique dining experience, head to Café Piazza. This restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored 1900s home, and you can even request to sit in the enclosed porch. As you savor their brunch specials, locally acclaimed desserts, and Italian cuisine, you’ll have a front-row seat to watch the trains roll by, just as they have been doing since 1853. It’s the perfect spot to plan your next adventure.
