By , Daily Memphian Updated: October 16, 2026 4:00 AM CT | Published: October 16, 2026 4:00 AM CT

Bartlett’s restaurant landscape is a-changin’ as new eateries have opened recently, a couple of spots are sitting empty after closures earlier this year and two prominent locations are for sale.

The former Baby Jack’s BBQ restaurant at 7610 U.S. 70 is still on the market after more than a year. The restaurant shut down in July of last year after 15 years in business.

Also opening in recent weeks in Bartlett, Oasis Fire Grill brought its Mediterranean fare to guests at 6525 Memphis-Arlington Road.
