When your crew needs a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast before a day of exploring the sights and sounds of Memphis, head to Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli.
Located in the Whitehaven Community District, this family-owned eatery is minutes from Graceland. Such proximity makes grabbing a hearty breakfast before touring the King's home easy.
Owners Wendell and Adrena Jackson, whose family operated a deli and grocery store, bring their 30 years of experience to Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli. This expertise is evident in the warm, family-oriented environment and home-cooked meals.
Another reason the diner is a popular hotspot is that it's in a renovated home in a quaint neighborhood. This homey vibe adds to any visit, where you feel like family and not a customer.
The Southern-inspired breakfast, lunch, and brunch menus have something for everyone. No wonder guests travel here for a delicious meal before sightseeing at the Memphis Botanic Garden, Tom Lee Park, and Crosstown Concourse.
So, gather the crew, make a reservation, and head to Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli to get energized on your Memphis adventure.
Vibe
As discussed, the restaurant is a small, renovated one-story home in a neighborhood. The contemporary sign above the entrance and the wheelchair ramp welcome all to the restaurant.
A covered screened front porch adds an additional dining area, making it a popular spot no matter the weather. The pick-up window is at the opposite end of the house, away from the main entrance. This separation makes getting in and out of the eatery simple and less congested.
While the neighborhood homes have limited parking, Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli has a large paved area in front. But spaces are limited, so plan accordingly when you visit.
The interior combines home elements, such as chair railings and lively paint colors, with restaurant decor. Contemporary tables and chairs are scattered throughout the wood floors, while the walls provide privacy to the various dining areas.
As one would expect in a home of this nature, the atmosphere is friendly, engaging, and relaxing. Here, diners can relax or get recharged with made-from-scratch meals for a day exploring Bluff City.
Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli: Menu & Drinks
With so many menus, we can't list all of the top meals. Instead, we'll post standouts to give you an idea of what to expect when visiting.
Let's cut to the chase! For breakfast, the chicken and waffles are the best in the area. This Southern staple features two pieces of golden-brown, dark chicken with a light, homemade, fluffy waffle, served with hot maple syrup and Eggxacty's hot thigh sauce. It's the perfect combo of sweet, heat, and salty!
The Build Your Own Breakfast Bowl is another favorite. First, you choose either pork, turkey sausage, bacon, or smoked sausage. Next, you select a foundation of grits or potato hash. Lastly, you decide how you want your two eggs cooked. Add the cheddar cheese, and you have the ultimate comfort breakfast!
The brunch menu combines the best of breakfast and lunch for a smorgasbord of choices. While not extensive, there are enough options to suit even the pickiest eaters. These include chicken and waffles, catfish and Gouda grits, pork chop, and French toast breakfast.
Drinks at Eggxactly are just as noteworthy. Non-alcoholic beverages range from fresh-brewed coffee and teas to soft drinks, juices, and lemonade. Adult beverages include signature mimosas and cocktails. Standouts include the Strawberry Pineapple Mimosa and the Spicy Bloody Mary.
Eggxactly Breakfast & Deli provides a delicious, homey experience with food that encapsulates the Memphis experience.
