Sometimes I have the luxury of having a lunch out.  Both kids are in school, and I’ve got enough time to spare to have some ME time.  A lunch out with another mom, or as my November went – with my mom!  She was here in Memphis for three weeks, so I made time to take her to Just for Lunch in the Chickasaw Oaks Village.

It’s inside, but it feels like you’re outside


If you like to eat a nice lunch out and do some browsing this place is a fabulous option.  The food is interesting and quite good.  The atmosphere is great (ask to sit “outside”). Go on a gray, rainy day and somehow you’ll feel like you got some outside time.  Sure it’s all indoors – but they set it up with enough trees, fake roofs and skylights that you might actually trick your brain into thinking you sat outside for lunch.

This was a really good salad

Once your meal is finished you can get to browsing.  Clothing, jewelry, housewares, stationary and more.  For a complete list of stores check out the Chickasaw Oaks Village shop directory.  There is also a pastry shop and the Central Library is next door.  If you opted to have lunch with kids there is even a small playground next to the Pier One parking lot…but I’d make this a moms only outing if I were you – the browsing is too fun to be dragging kids along!
