Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Incredibly great food. Visited from Phoenix, AZ. Never had better BBQ. Great, friendly staff. Shout out to my server named “V” (for short). Thank you for your great service and kindness!

Marlowes was recommended by our tour guide and a lady on our trip who had been previously. So we booked the pink cadillac to pick us up from the hotel, what a fab experience that was! When we got to Marlowes I wasn't disappointed. Full...of Elvis memorabilia and a little shop selling souvenirs, loved all that. Place was packed which is always a good sign, but we soon got seated. I had the Elvis burger, my goodness it was huge and tasted out of this world. I struggled to finish it. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. So glad I went, such a good find. On the way back to the hotel, we asked the driver if he could stop at the gates of Graceland so we could take photos at night which he happily did. Such a fab evening all round and I would highly recommend you give them a visit when in Memphis. Thank you to all ❤️More

This place was great! Wonderful cocktails, great food, friendly service and we really enjoyed the ride in the pink limo. We ordered the brisket, fried green tomatoes, coleslaw, beans, fried gouda, dinner salads, bbq spaghetti, bananas foster, and banana pudding for desert. This was all...split between three people and of course, we were absolutely stuffed. Such a great dinner!More

The food was very good. The ambience is cool! I had a half rack of pork ribs with coleslaw & pork'n beans sides and a small sourdough bun. The ribs were cooked to perfection. Fall off the bone, juicy, not overcooked. The ribs were prepared...with a dry rub with a bbq sauce over the top. The mix gave a good sweet/salt split to each bite with a strong smoky finish that I thought complimented the seasoning well. Some in our party thought the smoky flavour overpowering. The sides were very good. The coleslaw was balanced between sweet and sour, maybe with a slight sour lean. The beans were creamy, sweet onion flavorful with a little bacon finish. The Pink Caddy transport to and from the hotel was a big hit!! I would definitely eat there again!! The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars': The ribs are very good. However, when you say "Memphis" you want "great" bbq.More

This restaurant had amazing food! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious! I had fried green tomatoes and the corn fritters and they were amazing too! For dessert, I had the best brownie Sundae and my friends had scrumptious banana pudding. They are known for their pink...limousine rides from area hotels to their restaurant! Service was excellent as well! I would highly recommend this place!More

Memphis isn’t known as the BBQ capital for nothing. If you are looking for a mix of Elvis nostalgia, bbq so tender you can leave your teeth at home, and a fun environment with great service, Marlow’s is your pick. The most fun we have...had dining out in a long time. Shout out to V, our guide for making the night extra special and David for the ride in the pink Cadillac. ThanksMore

Ate at this excellent restaurant 2 nights on our friends trip. Food was excellent: brisket, chicken, catfish, fried green tomatoes, especially. We loved the Elvis theme. Our waitress Vee made the dining experience the best! So fun and friendly and efficient. She even hosted trivia...the second night we were there. So fun!More

We had a little trouble with the drink service, but keeping in mind that our server was only 19 years of age, we should not have expected her to know much about wine and beer anyhow. The portions here are huge. The food was delish....I ordered the Brisket because the menu stated that it was "melt in your mouth tender", and indeed it was! Everyone enjoyed our visit here.More

I traveled from NH to Alabama. Met up with a friend to go see Graceland. We rode the pink caddy to the restaurant where we were greeted with true southern hospitality. Our waitress V was absolutely amazing. After a truly delicious meal, We visited the...gift shop where chatted with the original owner who was so nice and friendly. While waiting for our pink ride back to the hotel. We met the pitmaster who was of the third generation. Our overall visit was outstanding and will forever be a great memory.More

Unique dining experience and if you're at one of the select hotels you can enjoy a ride in Marlowe's own pink cadillac! Driver was entertaining, food was amazing! For sure worth the time to hit up this dining experience.

The best BBQ in Memphis. This was our first time at Marlowes and it will definitely not be the last. I could eat the creamy coleslaw everyday! I had a pulled pork sandwich with fries and ordered an extra side of coleslaw because our daughter...wanted to try it. She loved it just as much as I did. My husband had ribs and the bone came right out. We all tried them and were so good! Both of our kids had the spaghetti and they enjoyed it. The employees are great and always had a smile on their face. There is also a cute gift shop inside, which was awesome. We picked up an ornament for our collection.More

We had a FABULOUS time from having their pink limousine pick us up at the CAMPGROUND, to the great meal and atmosphere at the restaurant and return trip to the campground. Our driver was kind and generous. There’s a great DJ in the restaurant and...people got up to dance several times during our meal. Great little gift shop also! The food was delicious and the specialty cocktails were fantastic! Marlowe’s was the best thing about our whole trip to Memphis!More

Overall very happy with our meals. Generous portion of food. You could taste the smoke. I personally like my ribs with a little more tooth/bite to them but my friends enjoyed the fall off the bone style. BBQ sauce was good - tangy and not...overly sweet. Coleslaw had good flavor but was watery.More
