With Rhodes being located in the Midtown District of Memphis, we are fortunate to have easy access to a plethora of local, delicious restaurants. However, it can sometimes be difficult distinguishing healthy from non-healthy food choices, especially off the name of the dish alone. Below are some of the “popular” restaurant choices by Rhodes students. Under each restaurant is a healthier menu option to consider swapping next time you visit!
