Just over the bridge from Memphis sits the aptly-named West Memphis. Although it is much smaller than its big-city counterpart, and lacks some of the glamour that envelopes the Birthplace of Rock ‘n’ Roll, it possesses its own unique charm and hotspots. One such must-stop location is Bourbon Street Steakhouse and Grill. 

The steakhouse is located in Southland Casino, but don’t be fooled: this restaurant is high-class and worth every penny.

As the name implies, Bourbon Street Steakhouse and Grill is themed after New Orleans, Louisiana.

A fan favorite is the gumbo, which is as authentic as if guests were dining in Louisiana. It is rich and flavorful, with plenty of sausage and shrimp.

The signature cocktail is the French Press Hurricane, which is described as a traditional hurricane with a trio of rum, passion fruit, muddled oranges, cherries, and limes.
