Four Memphis places whose own sites name a patio, deck or rooftop: Loflin Yard downtown, Aldo's in Midtown, Big Bad Breakfast and Coastal Fish Company.

Last checked 2026-10-18. Refreshed every three months.

Outdoor dining in Memphis that we could confirm sits south of downtown at Loflin Yard, in Midtown on South Cooper Street, and in East Memphis and Cordova, along Poplar Avenue and by the lake at Coastal Fish Company. Check each place’s site before a cold or rainy evening.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the Memphis city limits, the same records behind our local business directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 18, 2026. A place is on this list only if its own site says it has a patio, deck, rooftop or other outdoor seating; an outdoor-seating tag in our records is not enough on its own. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run a Memphis restaurant with a patio? Write to us and we will add it at the next check.
