Complicated Pilgrim

Complicated Pilgrim is an American restaurant serving globally inspired dishes with a Memphis perspective, from breakfast through dinner. The menu runs from avocado toast, pancakes and steak and eggs to shrimp and grits, steak frites and a double-stack Cooper Street Burger, with pimento cheese deviled eggs and crispy Kung Pao Brussels sprouts among the starters. The kitchen sources from regional purveyors.

Reservations can be made online, and the restaurant hosts private events. Weekday happy hour is served in the afternoon, and weekend brunch runs until mid-afternoon. Complicated Pilgrim sits on the first floor of The Memphian, the boutique hotel in Overton Square, and it has a full-service coffee bar that doubles as a cocktail bar in the evenings.
