    Strawberry shortcake
    Neil M.

    Great place. Best ice cream anywhere around. I've had the strawberry shortcake and the hot fudge cake. I also love the patty melt. The French fries are stray cut and I'm not fun of steak cut.

    An absolutely incredible place to eat. We stopped by here on a recommendation from a friends and couldn't be more pleased. The food and service were perfect, not to mention that it was the most incredible hamburger in west TN. Don't forget the ice cream, it's great too.

    It is a run of the mill,small town,greasy spoon,hamburger joint.The food is average,nothing particularly stands out on their menu.Last time I went there,they seemed not to know how to react to someone having a service dog.Even after I told them,I would look up over at the women behind the counter to see them eyeballing me.(Not conducive to a comfortable dining experience)It has been in Milan for years,but that does not make it special,just familiar.The clientele usually consists of good ol boys and elderly people.The staff is a mix of women who should be of retirement age already or teenybopper girls. All in all,an okay place though if you want something on the cheap or are just totally starving.

    Hot fudge cake. Enough for 3 people and DELICIOUS!

    A MUST STOP. Chow Wagon is everything you want in a local restaurant. People are nice, food is delicious, you won't spend a lot of money, and you're bound to run into someone you know. Have been many times but stopped last week while in town with my family. We all had double cheeseburgers and fries. I'm a sucker for crinkle fries and these were straight out of the fryer. The double cheeseburger was delicious. For dessert, we split the hot fudge cake. It was more than enough for three people and was incredible! I can't recommend enough.

    Solid food. Portions are a little small but the food was enjoyable. By far the best part of it though was my ice cream. Highly recommend.

    Went there late on a Sunday night they were out of the co2 for the drink machines and had a rush…read morebut food came out fresh and hot the staff was apologetic for the drinks and wait and they're over all nice people every time we go in.

    Ok, want a dining experience worthy of inclusion in a modern horror movie? It's an experience you…read moremust have!!!! Go to the Milan TN McDonalds this evening. As soon as you walk through the door you realize their AC is out. I mean it was only 96° outside and but when you walk through the door you realize it's hotter inside. And by the way the swamp cooler was rigged up behind the counter with a dryer vent tube zip tied to it it's likely been that way for a while. Other than one lady (I'll get to her later) the oldest employee couldn't have been older than 16. The girl that took my order had the appearance of an actor of one of the earliest suspense horror films, Black Christmas. I don't want to be unfair by stating her appearance, she was not unattractive just that she jumped through a 50 year time warp and landed in a hell hole. She was also very pleasant and professional taking my order. And the boy making the sandwiches with his purple long hair just seemed to fit right in, posibly also stepping through a time warp from a film somewhere between The Longest Yard and Porky's. Got my cup and went to the drink station. The sweet tee canister was leaking at an erie and hypnotic steady flow almost as if in slow motion and ponding on the counter which seemed so hygienic that even the bacteria vacated. At that time the deli scene in Texas Chainsaw Massacre looked like best practice of food safety. That's when the one adult, a middle age lady (ok, based on situation probably still in 20s but looked older) who I assume the shift manager came out from behind the service station with an order up. Her body aged very prematurely and her face full of scabs like she had been scratching her meth bugs. She looked like she just stepped out of a west Tennessee drug house and was gussied up for her narcotics related mug shot. Finally got my order, and other than not having my chocolate shake was correct and the older lady quickly made it for me. So go back to the outside where it was cool and get in my truck and drive off. Eat my BigMac and fries and start in on the shake. Was my shake frozen? Nope... it wasn't even cold, not even a chill. The one time a McDonald's employee doesn't tell you the machine is out of order you are served a warm dairy drink But thinking positively because I drank it anyways... maybe enough Fentanyl residue dropped off the lady to protect me from food poisoning. Yes, a dining experience you should have... worth the risk as I promise you won't have ever had one like it before. Oh, their billboard on the road states Now Hiring, Competative wages Just if you take the job be sure not to drink the cool-aid at end of shift or else you may never leave. Let me emphasize the girl who took my order was very pleasant and professional. the boy with purple hair also seemed to be doing a good job So thumbs up to these two employees I should have given them my card and offered them a job to rescue them from the sinking ship.
