Shopping & Dining in the 1980s
 

 

East Memphis

  • Round the Corner Restaurant in the Laurelwood Shopping Center, where Rafferty's is now. They served about 20 varieties of gourmet burgers with great french fries and desserts.  You would enter the restaurant and sit down to look at the menu.  When you were ready to order, you would pick up the telephone at your table, and they would take your order over the phone.  When your order was ready, they would buzz your table and you would go up to get your order.  There were also locations in Germantown (on Poplar where Kinko's is now) and inside the Mall of Memphis.


Berretta's was on the south side of Park, just west of Highland
