Putting Memphis on the Culinary Map
In the heart of Memphis, Huey’s has earned a renowned reputation since its establishment in 1970. Initially founded by Allen Gary, the restaurant underwent a vital transformation in 1976 once it was purchased by Thomas Boggs. Today, Boggs’ lineage continues to helm this much-loved establishment.
Known primarily for its burgers, Huey’s has since carved out its niche in the increasingly crowded casual-dining scene. The success it has seen locally over the last few decades is sure to translate well in its national TV debut on America’s Best Restaurants.
Huey’s Everlasting Legacy
Huey’s has not only served the most delicious burgers in town, but it has also nurtured bonds across generations of patrons. The restaurant takes pride in being an integral part of Memphis’s community fabric.
“People grew up going here as kids,” said Huey’s President Ashley Boggs Robilio. “They bring their kids here; they went with their grandparents. We’re a place that’s built on stories. I mean, we make one [social media] post and three generations of people reply to it, and I think that’s really special.”
The impending America’s Best Restaurants feature will certainly highlight Huey’s massive local popularity, ultimately allowing patrons around the nation to virtually participate in the Huey’s experience.
