If you like nuts at all you need to go here. The inside is a little rough, unchanged in many years, but the owner more than makes up for it. He is truly a character and hilarious. He roasted some pecans for us to order, and they were amazing. Worth a visit, I plan on ordering some from the website now that I am back home.
I advise anybody and everybody to visit this place before it closes for good on Dec. 31, 2021 😫😪😤😢 The service is excellent! I got the dark chocolate cashews and picked up two more orders for family members! This place is for The Nut Lovers! However, you can get some freshly popped popcorn, a cool beverage and some candy as well.
Owner was so funny and nice and let me and my boyfriend try some fudge and drinks on the house since it was our first time there! Fudge was SO good and the drinks were STRONG but yummy! Will definitely be coming back
Awesome guy!!! And excellent peanuts for sale. I now have a preference in peanut type and variety.Truly an excellent guy. It was clear that he knows his regular customers by name and that he knows his stuff inside and out. He knows of different peanut shops around the country and their addresses. He also showed us how the peanut roaster worked!!
The owner was the most interesting and genuine person Ive met in a long time. He took us back to try this new honey spiced peanut mixture hes been trying. He talked to us and even our daughter like we were family. He even suggested a few places to site see and have lunch. What a wonderful, cozy shop full of interesting items and great looking treats.
I LOVE this store and Rida, the owner is awesome. Hes been there for a long time and I can see why. Hes so personable and helpful. He wants you to try a product to make sure you like it before you buy. We came here last year and he left a big impression. The Red Skin Salted Peanuts are DELICIOUS. Please support this business!!
The owner is fantastic! If you walk out of the shop in a bad mood, there is something wrong with you. He was wonderful with the children, and the adults. Great products as well. He is closing at the end of 2021, go visit while you still can. There is a great articel in the Desoto Magazine about the shoppe. They also ship and have a web site.I just cant say enough good things about my visit.
This place is amazing!! such friendly owner, great products amazing prices. A historic gem and a must go to for all!
This peanut shop holds fond memories of my childhood in the mid-60’s. Memorial Day weekend plans are to visit this wonderful shop with grandsons and let them shop the fine chocolates and pick up a big bag of peanuts so they may feed the squirrels in Court Square!! Can’t wait!!.
Candy, Nuts, Popcorn, oh my! Such a wonderful downtown, family owned institution! Wonderful experience as soon as you walk through the door and you are pulled in by the smell of roasted nuts and fresh popcorn! The owner is helpful, friendly and ready to tell you stories of the shoppe and Memphis! Go visit today and grab some extra for the squirrels along the way~🥜🍿🌰
Everything I go in the peanut shop. Im greeted with a smile. Best customer service ever...fresh peanuts. I would give them 100 stars if I could. Oh the popcorn fresh cashews, pecan 🐢 turtles and chocolate 🍫cover pretzels mom loved them all. Great 💝Valentine gift!
Owner is so nice, honest and sincere.Decent pricesGreat varietySweet, salty and spicy options
The owner was really nice he even took pictures for us,we are going back today
Quaint little shop with a variety of treats. The owner was rude, yet blamed it on us. I honestly do not know how he stays in business with this attitude.
Delectable treats! Very clean and sanitary as well. What is not to love about this shop!
The owner was very welcoming & goes out of his way to make the customer happy. Small little shop but well worth the visit! Definitely check this place out plus, there are a couple of beautiful murals near by.
Chocolate covered peanuts are great!!! Try the popcorn too.
Excellent selection of various nuts. Salted and candied
Delicious snacks make for great Christmas gifts. Drop by the Peanut Shoppe for a tasty treat that will make you return often
The selection of treats the shoppe offers is awesome, but the customer service is even better.
The peanut shoppe is a place out of time with the most incredible customer service you’ll ever get. Rida (Mr peanut) made us try all his handmade flavored nuts and took cute pictures of us in his incredible shop.We love you Mr. peanut! Thank you
Rida is the greatest.He is always cordialand always has a very friendly smile. Ima regular customer and will continue tobe.
I forget the gentlemans name please forgive me but I will tell you what hes most heartwarming man Ive ever met what a decent human being
This place was awesome and the guy at the counter educated us on the business and a great person and excellent customer service 👍. Id go back just to visit him.
Speaking of service! I have never been in a business where I was waited on with so much attention and care! As if the service werent enough the product is fabulous! Everything there that I tried from cinnamon roasted pecans, Deluxe salted mixed nuts, spicy pecans, and their specialty caramel popcorn. Oh my on the caramel popcorn, best ever! They have a specialty of a blend of buttered popcorn, caramel popcorn, and cheddar popcorn. Who would think a blend like that would be so yummy oh, but it is! This is a must visit shop, especially for gifts, but for personal pleasure also.
Went for the hit peanuts with my candy corn. Still the same place and good environment
Staff were very friendly. They gave me time to look around while also engaging me which is a skill. At the end they gave me a nice suggestion for a meal. Great local business.
Delicious halal treats! Wonderful kind and amazing owners. So happy to be a customer and made to feel as if i am a great friend
I Love this little Shoppe. The owner was so nice, helping take our picture . Great selection of fresh roasted nuts. Nice selection of chocolate covered nuts also. Really great people doing a great job. Downtown Memphis dont miss it.
LOVE THIS PLACE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM
Use to Go down town with my Mom we stop in the Peanut place and they still there that been 40 years ago and I got some Brazil nut today they was great.
This is an amazing place for nut lovers. They have many kinds of nuts and candies, including different types of peanuts. Also all the store is decorated with peanuts. There is a really big peanut man that you can take pictures inside the store. And a little one in the shop window.
The Peanut Shoppe on Main Street is one of the best places in Memphis. The variety is very good and the freshness is unbeatable. They provide better service than just about anywhere I have ever visited. The owner does an outstanding job of keeping his customers happy and providing a store that you really enjoy shopping. We love going to the store!
Such a cute little place on Main Street. Has original charm, and the people were super friendly and personable. Love all the treats! Definitely look forward to coming back!
Went there on a cold and rainy February weekday. The clerk (maybe owner?) Saw me and my partner shivering and offered us a place near the radiator heater behind the counter. He mad non intrusive and welcome small talk while we thawed, and we cannot express our grattitude enough.Also? The pistachio pastry near the baklava is exactly as good as he said it would be with coffee, and the butter date cookie? Amazing with to go Egyptian root tea . Bet it would pair excellent with a anise or cinnamon based as well.And if the initial kindness and delicious recommendations werent enough to sell you, the man also knew all the best eateries nearby and most def told us the best choices for us with only vague explinations of our cravings. (A faux paus on our part, our fault.)Many thanks to him and his.
My dad had a barber shop in the old Union Planters Bank building in downtown Memphis by the post office in the 50s. Mom and I would go down and pick him up from work and we would walk main street and we would always stop and dad would get me some red skin peanuts. I remember a statue of the Planters Peanuts guy with top hat and cane. What a wonderful place.
Great service and treats everyone like family
Such a landmark. Hand made treasures to eat. From nuts to sweats it is a must for locals and visitors
Wide selection of peanuts, nuts, chocolate and pop corn. The owner is a very nice gentleman. I always stop by the shop when I am in downtown Memphis. Highly recommend.
The customer service was absolutely amazing! With a warm and friendly atmosphere guaranteed to make you smile. Not to mention the excellent selection of tasty treats...The Peanut Shoppe rates top shelf in my book!
I have been going to this place for over 20 years. The freshes Popcorn in the City.
This is my favorite place downtown to get snacks and converse with Nura and Rida. They are as wonderful as the product theyre selling. My favorite items to purchase are the yogurt covered pretzels and the toffee covered peanuts, yum!
Local favorite. No frillsGreat snacks and treats. Rich history. Awesome owners!!!
Great customer Service! Fresh products. Yogurt pretzels, nuts, and dried fruit in some of the mixed nuts. Support your small businesses, this is definitely one to check out. You wont be disappointed!
They have a great selection of roasted nuts and chocolates as well as sorted candies. They are passionate about their business and have great service.
Great place to get peanuts and snacks. The owner is very friendly and remembers my name even though I dont go there that often. I can go months without going and he will remember me and what I usually like to get when I come back.
An amazing store owned and operated by amazing people. Weve been coming for years for all of our nut needs. Go for a snack. Go to replenish your stock of shelled pistachios for making baklava or pesto. Go to ask Riddah advice on cooking. Go to buy a gift of fresh nuts for a friend or family member (they make excellent Christmas gifts). Go for whatever reason, just go.
This is an interesting little shop on Main St. that is well worth the stop. The fresh peanuts and butter popcorn are great. Buyer beware though, if you step out with fresh peanuts there are neighborhood squirrels that will stalk you for the rest of you walk. I guess they are big fans of the shop as well.
Great chocolate covered nuts...and the owner is a great guy.
Amazing service and great selections if you dont see what youre looking for just ask, theres a good chance they can find it before your next visit
A must-see for anyone visiting Memphis. Historic old fashioned candy shop run by some pretty amazing people!
The owner is very friendly & nice. The shop itself is very tight/ small & the nuts are freshly roasted daily. They also have popcorn & several candies. They are not open on Sundays but stay open til 5p mon-sat.
Best nuts and popcorn. The best people too
If you go anywhere downtown you have to go here the best pecans ever and the owner and his daughter are very friendly and caring if I could give more than 5 stars I would believe me this is the freindlest place. You come here you will keep coming back.
An amazing place! I loved it! By far the most delicious peanuts Ive ate!
Nice people,peanuts were fresh not open alot
I just found out that they ship!! You dont even have to leave the house!
Not the cheapest but a very unique place to shop. The nuts were very good. Worth a look see for sure.
Always excellent nuts, candy, and chocolate, and friendly customer service. Definitely recommend this place to locals and visitors.
The owner was just awesome. He has been their for many years. He told us alot of history and has been on the food network channel. The Peanut Man rocks!!!
Im a regular customer here and I love the Peanut Shoppe! They have a great selection and the quality is always top notch.
The singular most enlightening experience of my life.
RIP! Mr. Peanut, You will be forever in my memories.A friend brought me here, to meet the owner. Ill return to shop and take in a story and chat!

In-house roasted nuts, fresh popcorn, and candy sold by some of the kindest people in Memphis.
I love the treat there, all should visit the place.
I have enjoyed each of my visits!
Was excellent, my favorite snack shop
This little shop should be high on any visitors list for places to visit. The owner and family are wonderful, the popcorn and nuts are fresh, and the candy is fantastic!
My favorite shoppe in Memphis! Best cashews in the world!
Fantastic history and lots of great stuff to eat.
Best place to get popcorn in downtown Memphis
Not very good experience _ operator seemed in bad mood because I asked if peanuts were roasted that day - have had a good experience on other visits to this shop - peanuts were good in the past
If you like feeding the squirrels at the court square you can get peanuts here.
If you’re a popcorn fan, the “Memphis Trio” is a must. Don’t leave Main St. without it.
Best chocolate covered peanuts!
The only bad thing is the peanut man doesnt work 😫😥
Favorite place in Memphis. The owners are such kind people!
Love this place
Service great
