Editorial Review for Dyer's Burgers – by Patrick Collins
The Scene
Neon lights brighten this one-room diner, highlighting the chrome bar and the green and red color scheme. Patrons admire pictures of old Memphis and the great view of bustling Beale Street.
The Food
Dyer's uses the same grease that Elmer Dyer (the original owner) used to cook his burgers back in 1912. This ultra-resourceful use of bacon grease--and the savory burgers it helps to create--has turned Dyer's into an urban legend. The patties are thin, and you can order a single, double or triple burger along with one, two or three slices of cheese. Dressed with mustard, onion and pickles, the burgers practically melt in your mouth. Dyer's also serves chicken sandwiches, ribs, hot wings, hot dogs, red beans and rice, and nachos.

I read online about the "legendary" 100-year-old grease, and heard that these burgers have been voted the best in Memphis. I also read that the entire burger -- meat, bun, and all -- was deep-fried. This sounded disgustingly great, and my friends and I wanted to try it. We made this our last stop before we left Memphis, and looked forward to it all weekend. This was the only disappointing part of our visit. The waiter was sullen and had a bad attitude. The burgers were not deep-fried meat, bun, and all, but the thin patty did taste like it had been dipped in grease -- and not in a good way. The fries were soggy -- also not in a good way. There was hardly anybody in there, and our orders were simple, but my friend asked for no onions or pickles, and there were onions and pickles on his burger. The waiter was so surly we didn't even leave a tip -- and we never do that. Don't waste your time on this place. We wish we had eaten our last meal in Memphis at a more worthwhile place.
Pros: Relatively cheap
Cons: Bad food, bad service, bad atmosphere

They stole the name of one of their burgers.The "Double-Double" is the name of a burger from a resturant called "In-N-Out"in California. If the cops find they can close you down. If I were you I would either change the name or take it off the menu. In-N-Out was made way before 1912. I'd watch your back if I was you.
Pros: NONE
Cons: Infringement
