Tennessee can really show out when it comes to the perfect, crumbly biscuit topped with jam and butter, or a sandwich layered with heaps of perfectly cured meats, but sometimes the tastebuds require a bit of a vacation. If you’re craving something spicy from Cajun country and can’t quite muster up the energy (or the cash!) to leave Tennessee, then Second Line in Memphis is precisely where you need to head. This locally-owned eatery is ready to serve up decadence and Gulf Coast hospitality with every visit. Take a look below, and plan a visit of your own. Happy dining!

Second Line - Facebook The Second Line is helmed by Chef Kelly English, and it specializes in traditional New Orleans dining like seafood-centric dishes and po’boys.

Nicholas White - GoogleMaps The interior is both aesthetically pleasing and welcoming, just like the Big Easy. Chef English states that he wanted his restaurant to mirror a true second line, “casual, honest, delicious and true.”

Second Line - Facebook All the ingredients are sourced from nearby, so you may just enjoy a meal grown from its roots by a local farmer or maker. Memphis is not New Orleans, so finding a perfectly dressed po’boy or a side of red beans and rice can be difficult to find in their traditional sense.

Second Line - Facebook Everything at the Second Line is classically spiced and presented. You won’t find any quirky changes on the old favorite, and it’s comforting in a sense. Order a meal bursting with fresh seafood, and add a cocktail if you’re in the mood.

Second Line - Facebook New Orleans is known for its communal dining and emphasis on good food and good times. You’ll find the same electric mood at the Second Line, whether you choose to dine-in with friends or take your meal to go.

Second Line - Facebook Keep in mind that Second Line serves up classic eats from the Big Easy, none of those tourist eats. Come for a passionately sauced and heaped po’boy, with all the authentic flavor of the Cajun cuisine you know and love.
