Babalu, Soul Fish, Huey's if you've never been, Pyro's and Amerigo in East Memphis.
I'd take a trip to midtown or downtown for even better grub if you get the time.

He didn’t say he lived out of Tennessee just he hadn’t been up there in 20. Up is relative at this point.
Midtown Restaurants: Babalu, Local on the Square, Second Line
Downtown Restaurants: Central BBQ, Rizzo's, Majestic Grille, Rendezvous (some think it's a tourist trap but I love it)
East Memphis: Babalu, Hog and Hominy (probably the best food in town), Porcellino's.

These are solid suggestions for this area. Also consider Porcellino’s for breakfast/lunch. It’s the same people who do Hog and Hominy and Andrew Michael. Other good options not far away from where you’ll be are Gibson’s Donuts and Gus’s Fried Chicken.
Someone else mentioned breweries. Wiseacre and Meddlesome are both solid and not far from you. Wiseacre is a cooler set up and there are a few decent little stores, restaurants, and coffee options along Broad where that is.
Edit: Las Delicias is a good and cheap Mexican option not far from this area too.
Hit up Jack Pirtles for starts. Gravy and chicken. Grab a blunt and some blue top on your way to National and chelsea. Look for lil trik and get some white skag. Next hit up some karaoke in nutbush before the afternoon entertainment on Brooks rd (RIP Da Purple Church). Finish up at the Crystal Palace for the local thick junt talent.
Errrrrbody will be der mane!

Gotta figure anybody flying UP to Memphis for the first time in TWENTY years is probably not a TN resident. Memphis is about as far south as you can go in TN.
If you like Italian go to Ciao Bella, it a a “locals” spot.
Hog and Hominy is a really nice mid-range place for food but they serve high-end (read expensive) drinks. Great bar though.
Fino’s is a great deli for lunch. They have great sandwiches and good hot pasta dishes daily.
Folks Folly is the best steak place in Memphis hands down. It’s kinda like a Ruth’s Chris in terms of everything being a’la carte and family sides.
Heading toward Germantown you have Germantown Commissary, one of my favorite BBQ places. Back in East Memphis you also have One and Only which is newer but is really good.
Right near you there is Owen Brennan’s, Babalu’s (same as the one in Jackson), Amerigo’s, Capital Grill (but got to Folks Folly if you want steak), Las Tortugas which is southern Mexican (think tortas and elote instead of what we usually get like tacos, enchiladas, etc.).
If you want to go to midtown you can find TONs of stuff. Just go to the square or Cooper-Young and you can’t go wrong. Tsunami and Beauty Shop or some awesome CY choices.
Have fun!

Tops in Frayser is best Tops but Paynes has the best pulled pork sammich. ...and bring cash. They don't take American Express or any other plastic.
One more really good place that just opened in Germantown if you are out that way is Wolf River Brisket Co. it is owned by the same guys who own the Pyros pizza places and the brisket is outstanding
