"The Four Way is exactly the kind of cozy diner people have in mind when they get a craving for soul food. It’s a South Memphis institution, having served staples like vegetable plates, hamburgers, and turkey and dressing to the community from the corner of Walker and Mississippi Boulevard since 1946. Civil rights luminaries of the ’60s frequented the restaurant, including Martin Luther King Jr. When A-listers passed through town — people like Al Green, Elvis Presley, Ike and Tina Turner, and so many others over the years — more often than not, they made a beeline here." - Andy Meek, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
