Medley of Southern Dining Options Await Visitors at The Guest House at Graceland

Every aspect of The Guest House at Graceland reflects Elvis Presley’s personal design, style and preferences, from the 20 lavish themed suites to the five dining options offered at the 450-room resort. Whether travelers are enjoying the comforts of a guest room or the warm, signature biscuits that are served in Delta’s Kitchen, they will feel the warm southern hospitality for which Elvis was known.

“The dining experience at The Guest House is as memorable as the one-of-a-kind resort. We are procuring ingredients from local, sustainable farms to ensure the highest quality and freshest ingredients,” said Keith Hess, vice president and managing director of The Guest House at Graceland. “Whether you’re dining on the go or celebrating a special occasion, there is something to please every palette and schedule.”

All of the restaurants offer guests a broad assortment of fresh, regional dishes made from locally sourced farms and markets such as the Newman Family Farm, Earth Sprung Grains, Harris Farms Tifblue blueberries, and Bonnie Blue Farm Goat Cheese.

Delta’s Kitchen (Seats 152 indoor/20 outdoor)

The hotel’s premier restaurant, Delta’s Kitchen, is located adjacent to the Lobby. It celebrates the culinary history of the Tennessee and Mississippi River Delta with renowned southern fare such as buttered grits, Tupelo tater casserole, and southern biscuits and gravy.

The breakfast buffet is served daily and includes fresh fruits, juices, yogurts, cereals, three flavors of house-made signature southern biscuits, artisan breads, muffins and scones, made-to-order eggs, a robust selection of fresh vegetables, meats and cheeses. The menu also includes breakfast meats, southern grits, Johnny cakes, sausage gravy, and hash browns. An a la carte menu includes some of The King’s favorites such as Spanish omelet, country skillets, stuffed French toast, grits and sausage bake and Tupelo tater casserole.

Each evening, lights in the large round, shaded chandeliers are lowered, candles are lit and the restaurant transforms into a warm and intimate dining room. The farm-to-table menu includes hormone free, grass-fed beef and lamb from the region for steaks and filet mignon, and shrimp and oysters are sourced from Louisiana and the Gulf. Hand-selected wines and locally produced ice creams, gelatos, fruits and cheeses are also featured on the menu. Prices on the dinner menu range from $7-12 for appetizers; $8-12 for salads and $18-$36 for entrees.

Interiors of the restaurant feature high ceilings and two walls of glass that provide beautiful natural lighting. Wood floors are finished in a shade of mossy green, gold-washed light oak.  Walls are covered in contemporary patterns of goldish-beige and mossy green, offset by cream-colored fabrics on wood-framed chairs. Additional seating can be found in several high-back, upholstered banquettes. The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner daily.

E.P.’s Bar & Grill  (Seats 106 indoor/33 outdoor)

Casual diners will enjoy E.P.’s Bar & Grill, a relaxed, southern–style pub featuring “soul of the south with a contemporary twist” appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and sides, along with Tennessee spirits, local drafts, burgers and Memphis barbeque. Many of Elvis’ favorite dishes are tweaked with fresh and regional foods and beverages served in galvanized buckets and platters, wooden cutting boards, Mason and apothecary jars and mini-milk bottles.

The restaurant features open ceilings, a galvanized tubular metal bar with a white quartz bar top dotted with shaded lamps, black leather bar stools and gray walls, illuminated glass shelves and quartz countertops on the back bar, brown leather banquettes and galvanized gray-painted chairs.
