Description
Speros Zepatos’ son, Harry Zepatos, took the Arcade to a new level in the 1950’s. He made the cafe into the hip, fifties diner you see today. The boomerang table top desgins, now faded and worn around the edges due to thousands of coffee cups, plates, and elbows rubbed across the surface, the spectacular neon signage, and original storefronts have all stood the test of time. Most recently in May of 2019, the restaurant expanded with additional seating, a liquor bar, an espresso bar, and a waiting area. As you look around this old re-discovered part of Memphis, South Main Street, it still has the same look and feel that it did many years ago. The buildings have been refurbished, yet the old-time charm still exists.
