2025 Centurion Award winner

Awarded against five published criteria, checked on public evidence.

The Four Way

Best Soul Food in Memphis · TN

Restaurant · Memphis, TN · Since 1946

The overview

Soulsville's table since 1946

The Four Way has served soul food in Memphis's Soulsville neighborhood since 1946, a gathering place where Martin Luther King Jr., Aretha Franklin, and Stax Records artists all broke bread during the civil-rights era. Fried chicken, catfish, turnip greens, and peach cobbler come plate-lunch style.

Still a community cornerstone, the Four Way pairs some of the best soul food in Memphis with a genuinely historic dining room — its walls a photo album of the city's Black cultural history.
