Huey's has blues, brews and the best burger in town. For 26 years, Huey's has had the longest continuous jazz ensemble in Memphis. Some of the finest musicians have played at Huey's before they found fame: Robert Cray, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, Koko Taylor, Katie Webster, Omar and the Howlers and many more. Huey?s was also voted one of the top three music places to visit.
Perhaps the most exciting facet of Huey's is the stucco wall and the frill pick contest. The wall is plastered with graffiti ranging from small messages in ink to large messages in lipstick. The frill picks are found with your entrée and when put into a drinking straw, they are blown up into the ceiling where they stick until the contest. Management decided to hold a contest after customers wanted to know how many were in the ceiling. The money collected is donated to the Memphis Zoological Society; to date,$40,000 has been donated.
In addition to winning best burger in town, Huey's has been awarded best pub grub, best beer selection, best bar and best French fries over the last 20 years.
Now with seven locations, the newest one opened in December 2003. Huey's touts the only restaurant ever to win the Memphis Small Business award. Huey's also received many awards from various community organizations including the Memphis City Council, the Irish Eyes of Memphis, the Tennessee Restaurant Association, the Memphis Restaurant Association and both Mayors. Huey's has also won the Restaurant Neighbors Award in addition has been featured on the Travel Channel and the Best on Food Network.
Thomas Boggs, former co-owner of Huey's, won the highest award given by the 400 members of the Memphis Restaurant Association; the Newt Hardin Award, given for outstanding service to the restaurant industry. He also received the Jefferson Award in 2002, which is given by the American Institute for Public Service in recognition for outstanding community and public service. Boggs has also served on the board of the Memphis Zoological Society as President; the Aloysius Home; Food and Beverage Co-Chair of The Blues Ball, the Memphis Convention and Visitor?s Bureau as Chairman; as Vice-President of Memphis In May in 2001, President in 2002 for Memphis In May; and past president of the Memphis Restaurant Association.
Huey's is very involved in the community and its employees donate hundreds of hours to various non-profit organizations. Huey's donates gift certificates, monetary and food for many, many worthy causes including University of Memphis, Stax Museum, and Christian Brothers High School, Memphis In May, St. Jude, Church Health Center, Metal Museum, Orpheum, Porter Leath, Memphis Food Bank, MIFA and countless others.
