Tasty Tuesday almost didn't happen tonight. I got off work and immediately went to the old man's house to get in my gear for the Grizz game. I was tempted to type on the little distraction device made by Samsung that I carry around my pocket all day and all night. Instead, I came home, and then started getting distracted by other things, the most important, food.
So here we are at almost 10:40 pm on Tuesday evening, and we are going to give a shout out to one of my favorite places to eat in all of Memphis. Belly Acres is that kind of place where every time you go, no matter what you eat, it is going to be pretty darn good. Loosely translated, that means their food is awesome.
If you are a meaty burger type with lots of stuff on it, your burger will be amazing. If you are one of those 'ole portobello mushroom burger types, your taste buds will definitely be satisfied as well. Crave a sweet ice cream shake? As Stuart Scott would once say, "booyah"! How about some good some of them good stringy fried onions? Yes, yes, yes.
Belly Acres has a little bit of everything for everybody. As I am typing this Google notified me that it has actually been over five months since I last took in the experience known as Belly Acres. How could it be? How could I do such a thing to myself? Yeah, I am not sure either, but I suggest you experience the wonderful world of Belly Acres at Overton Square.
The atmosphere is great. They have this "down on the farm" type feel when you walk in, as suggested by the tractor that little ones like to have their pictures taken on from time to time. You might even walk in and feel as if you are inside a barn. You probably need to feel that at some time in your life, especially if you do not have to travel far to eat at Belly Acres. Much credit should be given to the designers and owners of this fine establishment for the homey atmosphere provided inside.
As I mentioned there really is a little bit of everything. I have had really good meatless burgers, and some good burgers with meat on them as well. Honestly, I have had a fried egg on all but one of them, and that time they just didn't put it on there. I really love their portobello burger, which comes with goat cheese. You can always have it taken off, and it is tasty with or without it. You can get burgers with beef, chicken, and even with seafood. I suggest you try one with buffalo if you are going for a meaty one though. I do recall those being super tasty.
Now for those side
items on the menu. On my last few visits there I ordered some of their fried pickles, and I had to make sure that there was not a single one left. The dipping sauce is just right, but I could eat those pickles all day long (which probably wouldn't be the best idea). They have some onion strings which are just right, and the average person will definitely love those. If you like sweet 'taters, then go right ahead and order their sweet potato fries. You will definitely clean out that basket once you taste the first one.
As I mentioned earlier, I have second hand knowledge that their milkshakes are a huge hit. I don't dabble in the milkshake game much these days, but my friend Jeff threw one down when we went to eat there back in August. He was very pleased with that life changing decision to tango with the milkshake side of life. I could be exaggerating a slight bit, but he was definitely reminded of his childhood with that awesome milkshake.
Go ahead, and let me know when you want to go experience Belly Acres for yourself. If you just want to go again, I will be more than glad to join you. It is very kid friendly, and heckfire, you can even sit outside with your pups when the temps are warm enough. Be mindful of the parking when you go, and remember the parking garage is very conveniently located behind the the restaurant. When you finish, you can go with your friends or family members and play a little corn hole on the Square.
Belly Acres is located at 2102 Trimble Place in the Overton Square area.
