Elvis: Guided Food & Drink Tour

OVERVIEW
In partnership with the Elvis on the Coast exhibit, we are offering a limited-time walking food tour that brings the story of Elvis' infamous Summer of '56 to life through the flavors of today. Make your way through Downtown Ocean Springs, stopping at four beloved local restaurants for Elvis-inspired tastings while your guide shares the real history of Elvis’s time here. It's food, history, and a little rock ‘n’ roll all in one afternoon.

June 17 – August 27, 2026
Wednesdays & Thursdays, 1:30 – 4 PM

NOT INCLUDED
Guide gratuity. Optional, but appreciated.
ITINERARY
– Government Street Grocery (Meeting Point) — We kick off with meatloaf and mashed potatoes — fitting, since Priscilla Presley once revealed Elvis ate exactly this every single night for six straight months. Your guide will set the scene for Elvis’s summer on the Coast while you dig in. Cocktail pairing: TBD
– The Garage at Cash Alley — The dish that needs no introduction. Elvis’s all-time favorite was a peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwich, this version fried in bacon grease — rich, indulgent, and utterly Southern. Cocktail pairing: Screwdriver
– Mosaic Restaurant — A double-bacon cheeseburger is right in the King’s wheelhouse. Cheeseburgers were among Elvis’s well-documented favorites, alongside the Southern comfort foods he grew up craving. Cocktail pairing: Blue Suede Sidecar
– The Lady May (End Point) — A sweet, decadent finish, just as Elvis would have wanted. Beyond his savory obsessions, banana pudding, icebox cake, and rich Southern desserts were beloved staples at Graceland. Cocktail pairing: The Elvis Whiskey Cold Brew
