Marlowe's Ribs - Memphis, TN

In 1973 my Dad decided it was time to move to Memphis so he could live out his dream and start his own restaurant. In 1982, he changed the name to Marlowe's, expanded the dining room and added some of his favorite Italian family recipes. He also started experimenting with some new barbeque techniques and sauces. Little did he know that he had discovered what would later become the staple of our menu.

By the early 1990's, we came up with the idea to offer delivery to the local hotels. Soon we started a shuttle service and refurbished a limo, painted it and the pink Cadillac shuttle was born and has been delighting Elvis fans for over 10 years.

That single limo has become a fleet of six bright pink cars that can be seen driving up and down Elvis Presley Boulevard on any given night, picking up and dropping off Elvis fans at the local hotel. The fleet has become almost as famous as the food, as it has been featured alongside the barbeque on travel and food segments at the local and national level.
