Dessert Restaurants in Tennessee – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Dessert Restaurants in Tennessee

When Guy Fieri rolled into Tennessee back in 2008, he uncovered a sweet slice of Southern hospitality that dessert lovers still talk about today. The Volunteer State may be known for its barbecue and hot chicken, but Triple D proved that Tennessee knows how to finish a meal right. With an impressive average rating of 4.9 stars, the dessert destination featured on the show has stood the test of time—remaining open and beloved by locals and pilgrims from the Flavortown faithful alike.

Memphis takes the crown as Tennessee’s dessert capital on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and it’s the legendary Little Tea Shop that earned its spot in the Triple D hall of fame. This Memphis institution, boasting a near-perfect 4.9-star rating, serves up the kind of homemade Southern desserts that make you want to loosen your belt and order seconds. From the moment Guy walked through the door, it was clear this wasn’t just another restaurant—it was a genuine Tennessee treasure where every sweet bite tells a story of tradition, family recipes, and pure Southern soul.
