Remembering the Marketplace of the Midsouth

Round the Corner

A distinctive restaurant featuring round windows near the door and a telephone system allowing you to call in your order right from the booth.

The first Restaurant was in the Laurelwood Shopping Center, where Rafferty's is today. Later on there were locations in Germantown (on Poplar where Kinko's is now) and of course, inside the Mall of Memphis.

They served about 20 varieties of gourmet burgers, french fries and desserts. You would enter the restaurant and sit down to make your choices from the menu. When you were ready to order, you would pick up the telephone at your table, and they would take your order over the phone. When your order was ready, they would buzz your table and you would go up to get your order.
