Great place for seafood and chicken with a unique flavor. They have some healthy options that allow you not to break your belt. But the piri-piri seasoning (which you can purchase also) is amazing and goes well with all their offering. Don't miss out on this place, it definitely be on the list of your favorite places if you give it a try. read more

Food is OK. Lunch push starts at 11:30. Get there early.

Humdinger's is one of the few restaurants in the Memphis area that I truly enjoy. I almost always get their baked half chicken with rice and fries. Everything on the plate is delicious and there is rarely anything left on my plate by the time I am through eating. read more

I absolutely love humdingers! The fish tacos and grilled shrimp with zucchini are my favorite! I like the food here because it tastes so fresh, in Memphis it is so hard to find fresh seafood. They season everything great! They also have this stuff called pirahana sauce and it is delicious ! read more

Good quality seafood for cheap. Met my mother and her friends here. I got the grilled Salmon with mushroom topping. It was pretty good and the sweet potato side was excellent as well. I ate there for dinner, but this is definitely a lunch spot. Check it out. read more

I ordered over the phone for pickup and it only took 20 minutes and was ready when I walked in. Fair prices for large amounts of food. Very fresh and flavorful. Will be back! read more

For the price I would expect that if I want to drink water you don't give me a small plastic cup that has to be refilled while dining. And why ask for tips on the receipt if you don't refill beverages? $11 for three taco and a side isn't really that cheap, so why does this place have such a tacky 80s fast food/cafeteria in Florida atmosphere? Yeah, I like that they serve the food on real dishes with real silverware and I like that you can get grilled veggies, but... The veggies weren't really cooked enough. Too crunchy for me anyway, and the tortillas were cheap and thin. Why not have some nice thick corn tortillas instead of these weird wafer-thin flour ones that have no taste? The chicken was a little overly spiced I thought and the fish was a little, well fishy. I'm speaking of the tacos here. And the guy at the register was just plain strange. Much better options. I'm finished with this place. read more

For sure try the Portobello Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries...delish! Although a bit pricey and the place can get very crowded at lunch which makes the parking situation there a nightmare! I recommend going early (before 11:30) or late (after 1:00). Keep in mind that this is pretty typical at any decent eating establishment in the Poplar/Kirby/Ridgeway area at this time. read more

Here again, trying to find another place for lunch, we wandered into Humdinger's. I don't like ordering at a counter but this place had a pretty efficient process. The tilapia tacos were huge and really quite good. I enjoyed their bottled sauces. This place will make the lunch rotation. read more

What a find! Humdingers is in a strip mall hidden behind Chik Fila in a crazy crowded parking lot. Came here with girlfriends for lunch and it was crowded. The line moves efficiently with ordering at the counter and good brought to your table. Unlimited drink refills with a great iced tea and fresh lemons are a nice touch. Lemons were nice to add on my grilled shrimp tacos served with a corn and black bean salsa. I was pleasantly surprised the shrimp was not overdone and the mayo had a nice zing without being gloppy. The cabbage on the taco was crunchy and the salsa was seasoned well. I'm coming back to try the chicken next. Total cost about $12. read more

Great lunch place if you're looking for a piece of grilled fish or grilled chicken. The piri piri mushroom topping on the fish is what I'd recommend as a topping on your fish. You will get plenty of food and the cost is very affordable for lunch. Their grilled zucchini is also very good. If you've had the bang bang shrimp from bonefish and like it you need to try the Humdinger's shrimp appetizer. Their black bean corn salsa is also a great side and each time I've had ordered this as a side it always taste fresh. The staff here is very friendly and they get your food out very fast right after it comes off the grill. read more

Amazing meal! I had talapia and my friend had salmon so good we wish there was more!

Humdingers is a great option for healthy fast food. Great fish selection and sauces. I had the salmon with sweet potatoes fries. Everything tasted great! read more

Now that i have changed my diet, its important I find fresh healthy food to eat when out and about. This place is the ticket.. I got the Grilled Amberjack over rice with Pineapple salsa. It was fresh, perfectly cooked and just wonderful. I highly recommend if you are in this side of town you must try this place... read more

LOVE! OK, so being Jamaican I often crave grilled food... Jerk -esque. The food was amazing and satisfied my grill craving. I almost cried, like seriously I would have. I got the 1/2 chicken and grilled sweet potatoes....so amazing...with a honey sauce. I tried to have my whole family join in the humdinger love. I love how healthy the options are without being too granola...like you actually live the food not because it is healthy but just because it's that good. read more

Fresh, fast, and tasty. I had the Ahi Tuna salad. Fantastic! Great for a casual, lunch counter quick meal.

Fresh, fun, and fast. It's a great place to sit down and eat without having to wait forever on your food. I love that the kitchen has only a glass between it and the restaurant... you can actually see what they are doing and know that your food is fresh! I love the lemon sauce that they offer... You can only find it here and it tastes good on everything. It's a great place to go with your family! Love this place. read more

I have been coming here for years and the food and service are always good, but today both of them were exceptional. The food was delivered quick and perfectly cooked and I didn't want to let this moment pass without a positive review due to this awesome visit. Thank you management and all the staff. read more

This is one of the best options for a filling and healthy lunch in Memphis. My favorite is the Mahi Mahi with Piri Mushrooms, and Zucchini on the side. Sometimes Mahi Mahi is not available, and the Amberjack is a great alternative. The Grilled Sweet Potatoes are another great side option. There is often a long line during the lunch hour, but the line moves swiftly, and orders are delivered quickly to the table. read more

Great fish tacos with healthy choices for sides. I got the grilled zucchini. Spices on both were tasty. Good casual environment. Family friendly but you can still get a beer. read more

Even after all of the good reviews, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I got the salmon with grilled asparagus and then also sides of the seasoned fries and brussel sprouts. The food was quick to be brought to the table, flavored very well and hot. It was a wide range of clientele in there. The real only downside is it was really loud in there. I'd planned to go in and make some customer calls at lunch, that just wasn't doable. But the food was really very good and the staff were all very pleasant and attentive. I'd go again next time I'm in town. read more

Got the salmon with zucchini and it was awesome. The rice that comes with it is great. The bread sticks are really good too. Hubs LOVES the shrimp and grits. Excited to go again and try more stuff. ...also I've been to the other humdingers location and it was empty and I got the chicken sandwich and hubs got the shrimp and grits and neither were good so I'd recommend going to this location! read more

I think previous reviews are overdone. It is definitely not "upscale". This place is a cross between a fast food place and a real restaurant. The food is really good though, hence my 4 stars. I had the Mahi Mahi with mango chutney with rice and grilled sweet potatoes. All were excellent. The price for that and a drink was $16.15. You order at a counter and they bring your food to your table. The service was quick also. I would come back. read more

I like this place, but it's not as good as a couple of other piri piri places I've been. The piri piri doesn't have quite the depth of flavor as Nando's or Boneheads, but it will definitely satisfy a craving when it strikes. I'm not sure why this place is rated as "$$" when the average fast food meal is $5.00+. I can get a chicken breast meal for $10 or so and be getting REAL, somewhat healthy food. Overall, I like this place. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and accommodating. read more

The pari pari chicken is nice. They will make it as spicy as you like. They have a great selection of fish, too. I will frequent this place. It's a nice taste of South Africa/Porto in Memphis. read more

Good food, I went so often when it opened that I've lost the taste for it but definitely give it a try. The food is definitely different and good for lunch. read more

Consistently average food quality although the fish portions are small for the cost. Tonight, they were out of rice (?) which is usually served with every meal. Most other vegetables are grilled which tends to make them dry. Tacos and crab cakes are our go to favorites. The chicken is always good. One of my pet peeves is any restaurant/office/store that broadcasts opinion news (regardless of the opinion). Humdingers gets demerits for their insistence on having a channel always tuned to Fox News. It may be silly, but I'm there to eat and take a momentary break from talking heads hating on my beloved countrymen. Maybe, it just me... read more

Loved this place. I hadn't been in a while but still delicious. The grilled salmon was juicy and not dry. My husband had the shrimp & grits. It was flavorful as well! I enjoyed the fish tacos but the chicken taco was a little dry. They give generous portions. The cashiers were very nice and helpful. We will most definitely return. I hope the pesky fly is gone. LMBO!! read more

Last Friday, I tried this place for the very first time and loved it. I just wish I would have discovered it earlier in Lent! Great soup and fish and chips. read more

Terrible food!!! my husband got the club sandwich, They burnt the bacon and it had hard chicken with burnt edges!! My fish on my fish tacos was dry and almost burnt as well. Not going back read more

Didn't expect it to be soo good. Quick, reasonably priced for the tasty food. Tuna was perfect.

I've been a fan of Humdingers but today's lunch visit was a big disappointment. The restaurant itself was busy and moving efficiently. However, the food quality was poor, especially for the amount I paid. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with sweet potatoes. They traded the former sweet potato fries (which were great) for sweet potato medallions--slices of grilled sweet potatoes that were mushy and flavorless. The big issue for me was the grilled chicken breast. It literally tasted like rubber. I kept checking to make sure it was thoroughly cooked. It was, but the chicken was so chewy. Did not taste like fresh chicken at all. I usually order the grilled shrimp, so I was surprised at how bad the chicken tasted. Now I think my former love of Humdingers is ruined forever... read more

I was a little taken back that you had to stand in line to order your food & take a number to your table considering the cost. I've spent a lot less at good restaurants where I sat down & had a waitress. But the food was pretty good. Be prepared on some of the items if you're not into spicy. I had the shrimp & grits & it had sausage in it. It was good but I was a little disappointed due to the fact that there was quite a bit of grease floating on top. My husband had fish tacos that he liked. The Humdinger shrimp appetizer was very good. read more

Humdingers - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Great food with fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Lots of customers. Who could ask for more?

Portobello mushrooms were great and mixing with the slaw was a great idea. That is where the high marks stop. Ordered grilled chicken and grilled brussell sprouts. These were both incredibly bland and the chicken, while looking nice, was the driest that I have ever eaten. Perhaps it would have been better with the piri-piri sauce, but since I didn't get any with my order, guess we won't know. May try them again for the fish, but definitely not the chicken. read more

Completely disregarded the instructions for my take out order. Slaw on the side. They put extra slaw on the tacos. No sauce on the chicken. They slathered the chicken in sauce. read more

from the spot where mama fu's was, there is now humdinger's. humdingers is a fast food chain serving healthy options intstead of greasy ones. most of the choices on the menu are grilled. you can get a variety of fish: snapper, mahi-mahi, salmon, and tilapia. they have different topping for the fish: black bean corn salsa, cucumber lime yogurt, pineapple salsa and piri piri mushroom. the piri piri sauce is their speciality it's a south african pepper and they make 4 different variations of it it: lemon herb, medium, hot, and extra hot. on the night we went, i tried the 1/2 grilled chicken with lemon herb sauce, seasoned rice and grilled zucchini as my side. the chicken was moist. i just wished there was more seasoning on the meat inside. my husband got the tacos combo of chicken, piri piri grilled shrimp, and fish with a side of grilled asparagus. the sides they are offer are very exciting: corn and black bean salsa, sweet potato fries, asian cole slaw, grilled zucchini, grilled asparagus, chilled marinated broccoli, seasoned fries and side salad. anyways, if i go back, i think i will get the fish tacos. the fish in my husband's fish taco was light and buttery even though it was not fried. they were tasty. also, i am a sucker for sweet potato fries. i will have to try those next time as well. entrees are under 10 bucks and the food does come out fast. it's like mcalister's where you get a number and they bring the food to you. if you like fish, i think this is worth it to try humdinger's. read more

I recently visited Humdinger's on Poplar and the expeience wasn't so NICE!Dont get me wrong, the food was excellent and it didnt take long to get my food out to me.However, I was in there with another female friend and I got the feeling that black people really werent allowed in their establishment.We both noticed that the cashier really didnt want to answer any questions we had and she was short with her answers.Then the manager walked around the entire restaurant and asked everyone how was thier meal but he never asked us! I mean I have been to plenty of places around the TN and other states. I have never experienced such hospitality in my life! The food was good but I think they only expect a certain group of people to visit.......:( read more

Price is reasonable. Food is fresh. Service is excellent. As a visitor to Memphis, I wanted to grab a quick and healthy choice after splurging on all the delicious Memphis BBQ. I order the 2 tacos combo with a side of grilled zucchini. My zucchini were bitter tasting and the gentleman, took it away and offered me something else. I appreciate any establishment going above and beyond to ensure their customers are happy with the quality of food. The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious as well! read more

My husband and I went to Humdingers often when the Germantown parkway location was open. Now we occasionally go to the Poplar location. The food is still great, but we've noticed the prices have gone up. We order the same thing every time, and we're paying about $12 more for it. Most of the good side orders are an up charge of a dollar. Even corn! They used to have two salad options: Greek or ceaser. They got rid of the Greek and replaced it with "House". It's my fault for not reviewing the menu better or asking, but the house salad comes with dried cranberries, apple, and blue cheese. I'm sure many people love this sort of salad, but I'm am not one of them. Anyway, great service and great food, but not a fan of the changes. read more
