Table Talk: Getting grumpy before work? Head to The Liquor Store

By , Daily Memphian Published: July 29, 2026 4:32 PM CT

If you find yourself hangry and have some time to spare before work, The Liquor Store has a fairly priced remedy for you.

The breakfast and lunch diner has a new weekday morning special, “Grumpy Hour,” offering customers any menu entree, except the steak and eggs, plus drip coffee for only $10 from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

When my empty stomach started affecting my mood on Tuesday, July 28, I made my way to The Liquor Store at 669 S. Mendenhall Road for the morning deal.
