I'm passing through town and I was looking for affordable seafood. I had the grilled catfish with Peri Peri mushrooms, Asian slaw, and a side salad along with grilled asparagus the food was mostly good but the experience was mediocre. Despite few customers, there were dirty dishes on tables. The music was a bit too loud and the TVs were off or on with a black screen. There was food along the base boards. The windows between the kitchen and dining area looked filthy. When I called to ask if there was a wait, the person did not seem to understand what that meant despite sounding like a native English speaker. The person taking my order at the counter didn't seem to know how certain dishes were made and didn't try to find out. There were no other customers waiting behind me. I wish I had gone somewhere nicer. read more

Came here for lunch (March 2) with a coworker (who recommended this place). It was fairly empty when we arrived as it was a late lunch and the customer service was fast. There were a few dirty tables but we were able to find a table to sit and eat. I ordered the Grilled Salmon with Sautéed Piri-Piri Mushrooms and sides of Grilled Zucchini and Side Salad (an up charge). The food was very delicious and large enough portions to have leftovers. I would definitely visit again to try out other items on their menu as this visit was decent. read more

Love the salmon! Healthy tasty food. We like the piri piri seasoning as well. We get salmon with veggies or a salad.

Really good quick place to get quality food. Their shrimp and grits special on Friday is awesome.

We love Humdinger's. My husband says he is sometimes still hungry afterward, but I am always quite full when we leave. Really friendly staff. read more

My wife and I came in here one night and left because of the fact we discovered it was counter service. We wanted a nice date night place to eat. So I put it on my list for lunch and finally made it. The parking lot was packed and I had trouble finding a spot because I was pulling a trailer. There's a security guard working the parking lot and he directed me to a spot. I thanked him and talked to him. He said he's there every day and employed by the land lord of the building. I got the crispy shrimp poboy. It really sucked. Really, I think Popeyes has a shrimp poboy and I'll bet it's way better. My wife makes some kick ass poboys so I know what is good and what isn't. Instead of making a remoulade, they put cole slaw on it. Yuck! And the shrimp were just deep fried breaded popcorn. The frozen kind. The sandwich wasn't very big, but the worst part was that nasty bread. I don't know exactly what it was, but I know that bread wasn't fresh. Fresh bread only lasts 1 week tops. This was like the kind of bread you can store for 2 months. Preservatives and dough conditioner or whatever, it was crap. Also it wasn't toasted which when I was asked I said yes. The best part of the sandwich, ironically, was the tomatoes. Now they weren't as good as home grown, but they were good tomatoes. It's sad to order a shrimp sandwich and that's the best thing on it. The grilled zucchini was surprisingly good, but then again, why wouldn't it be? It's a nice enough place and they had plenty of workers. I paid over $13 for lunch. For what I got, I paid too much. I'm not thrilled about the idea of going back. I'm glad I didn't try the fish! read more

I have quickly fallen in love with this place. First off, we traveled to England years ago and fell in love with Peri Peri Chicken. This is the only place, I know of, around here that sells it and it's delicious. The daily specials here are amazing and definitely keep us coming in frequently. Their fish and chips deal on Fridays is awesome and very tasty. Their Peri Peri Shrimp appetizer is a must try and is half off on Saturdays and Mondays. read more

What a great little counter service concept! Choose your protein and peri peri! I had the grilled chicken breast with a double order of brussels. The only gripe I had was that the brussels were still a bit raw and I wasn't super into the seemingly blanched/boiled then put on the flat top. It could've been a bit more roasted. That said, it was all delicious and a great bargain. read more

How can you not love this place. This restaurant is a seafood and fish-lover's dream. Talapia, salmon, amberjack, swai, mahi mahi, ahi tuna, shrimp, calamari, crawfish, crab cakes, calm chowder and the list goes on and on. Wheeewww I'm getting hungry again just thinking about all of the options that I have here at Humdingers. When I visited yesterday, I had my usual. I absolutely love the salmon fish topped with crawfish with rice and asparagus. The grilled asparagus is amazing. I can eat their asparagus everyday of the week. What I really enjoy about their entrees are that they are not oily or greasy. They are cooked perfectly and taste excellent. For dessert, I recommend the orea cream cake. It is awesome. I've had it at least 5 times and every time I have it I'm thoroughly satisfied. The service here is fantastic. 5-stars for Humdingers. read more

Humdingers - Salmon topped with crawfish and grilled asparagus - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

My wife and I visited before going to a movie. She had the Piri-Piri chicken. i had three fish tacos with a side of the bean/corn combination. All very good. I should have only gotten two tacos, because they were quite filling. read more

I love this place! It offers the quality of fine dining food and a casual dining atmosphere for a reasonable price. Every time I have been here, the fish and chicken have been cooked to perfection. The chicken tenders are amazing on their own, but when mixed with their unique Piri-Piri sauce, the flavor pops. The Piri-Piri sauce has a sweet taste with a spicy kick at the end. The sauce varies in different levels of spiciness that you can choose from. But be warned, if you order an item with the mild Piri-Piri sauce, it has more kick than other mild sauces found elsewhere. You have a choice of ordering your fish grilled or blackened and there are many different toppings you can choose from. I got the pineapple salsa which added a zing to every bite. The fish I ordered, blackened amberjack, was very mild and very flaky. The fish by itself was delicious, but then add the burst of flavor from the pineapple salsa, this is a dish I will definitely get again! The breadsticks are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with seasoning sprinkled on top. They will ask you if you would like to add one to your dish. I highly recommend them. Also, if you are looking for an inexpensive date night, they offer a special on Thursday nights. You get one appetizer, two glasses of wine, two entrees, and two malco movie passes for $40. read more

I've eaten Humdingers when it was catered for work a few times and it has always been good. I like that the fish options are not fried and that you can have grilled veggies as a side. I went to the restaurant for lunch on a Tuesday and it was packed. Our food came out in a timely manner. I got the fish tacos and grilled sweet potatoes. Both were excellent. Next time I think I'll get just fish instead of tacos (less carbs!) The only negatives were: 1. It was really warm in the restaurant that day but the temperature outside was almost 100; 2. The water had a weird aftertaste. read more

Several people on several occasions have told me about Humdinger's and how I need to go check it out. Well, I finally did one evening, for a much needed get-together with my friend Eula. Humdinger's is counter service, but they also have lovely staff member to come around and check on you as well. Everyone is very nice! They serve fresh fish and piri piri chicken in many different ways. I was excited about this, as there are not many reasonably priced places around town where you can find many fresh fish options. If you want it, you basically have to pay upwards of $25.00 an entree, or you have to go with the frozen kind (which is not always terrible). Your choice. I was highly impressed with all of the options that this place had. I had a hard time figuring out exactly what I wanted! I did know that I needed a drink, after working several long days in a row. I ordered wine, but they did not have any. That was okay with me, as they also had Samuel Adams. Sold. Their menu is decently extensive, but I chose one of the fish platters. You choose your fish, choose your topping, and choose your side. It also comes with rice. I had never heard of either Amberjack or Triggerfish, so I googled both to see what they were like. The Triggerfish got better results on Google, so that is what I went with. I chose the pineapple salsa as my topper and grilled sweet potatoes as my side. I also got a cup of New England Clam Chowder. Eula got the Grilled Tilapia, covered in pineapple salsa, with a side Caesar salad. Eula said her meal was really good. I loved mine! The fish was very flavorful and flaky, and the pineapple salsa was sweet, but not too sweet. It also had a good kick to it as well. The grilled sweet potatoes were fantastic. They were cooked perfectly and had a great, spicy seasoning on them. I do not prefer my sweet potatoes overly sweet, covered in sugar, butter, etc. These were not that. You could taste the natural sweetness of the potato, along with the spiciness of the seasoning. The clam chowder wasn't the best I have ever had. It did not have as much flavor as the rest of the meal, but it was still good. It was wonderfully creamy and full of clam and other yummies. They didn't skimp on ingredients. Overall, I am only upset that I did not try Humdinger's sooner. It is the perfect place to find a healthy meal at a great price that still has a lot of flavor! You just can't find that in many places around town. I will definitely be back again. I just wish there was a location closer in town. read more

What a surprise to find such a gem. I ordered mahi mahi with pineapple salsa topping and grilled asparagus. Everything was quite tasty and I'm hard pressed to say what I'd do differently except I wish the pineapple in the salsa had been diced more finely so that I could have enjoyed it with more fish bites. As well, the woody, inedible stems of the asparagus could have been trimmed down. Then again they wouldn't have been as pretty! read more

Went again today and took my family. Ordered the wasabi tuna salad, it was pretty good although pricy for a salad (10.99). My daughter had the fish and chips - she said the rice seemed bland, the fish was good, and the fries were a little salty. We also had he hummdingers shrimp which were good as usual, and the zucchini which is seasoned nicely and grilled. Good service and a clean location. It was a little chilly in the restaurant. read more

I gave them one star because it's the lowest I could go. Bottom line, it's 9:19 as I write this and while the sign on the door said they are open for another 10 minutes, I was refused service because they were 'closed' I'm done with this place, but to the owner, how about this, put your hours on the door and stick to them. If you stop serving at 915pm, post it and make people aware. read more

I've eaten here before, but forgot to give it a review. A little unique for fish and chicken, but very good. Fish is grilled and you can watch them cook it. Had the Humdingers shrimp, very tasty, has a bit of a kick but very good. You order and then sit and your food is brought out to you. They have several different sauces at the table to try. Definitely would recommend to anyone wondering whether it's worth it or not. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

The crispy fish and chips were really good. The fish was fresh, and the fries were seasoned nicely. The sauce it comes with made it even better. Didn't know rice came with fish and chips, I just picked at it since the fish and chips were already so filling. My boyfriend got the rainbow trout with slaw and zucchini. I tried the zucchini and it had a nice kick. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

A lot of healthy seafood selections. I chose the shrimp and rice and it was awesome. I checked the nutrition information afterward, and it was ultra-low in calories. Also, Crystal Light is a drink selection, which is pretty cool. Read a full review at my blog: http://www.foodforfatgirls.com/?p=35 The ordering process is like Newk's and McAllisters.

Humdingers - Seafood Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Humdingers is a good option for those watching calories. They have a number of healthy, grilled options and everything is pretty tasty. Be careful if you're sensitive to spices, as the seasoning they use is pretty fiery.... you can request it "plain" and they're happy to oblige. Oh... free wifi also. You've got to ask them for the network name & password, though. read more

So one day the line at Chik-Fil-A was wrapped around the building and I wasn't in the mood to wait. So I decided to try Humdingers instead. Well, turns out they are muuuuch slower than Chik-Fil-A but you get to hang out in a pleasant enough atmosphere so it's OK. Next time maybe I'll think to call in my order. I got three chicken tenders with grilled zuchinni and it was awesome! I can't remember what sauce I got. I guess it was Piri Piri. I found the sauce selection process a little confusing and annoying. I really don't want a bunch of options. Just make it. Don't ask me a bunch of questions. Just do it the way a panel of experts determined it tastes best. Don't make me decide. I'll muck it up. Luckily, I made a good decision. Hopefully, I'll make the same choice next time. read more

What is Humdingers?? I've asked myself this question after driving by so many times and not stopping in. Well last wknd i got bored and didn't know where to eat. Called up a friend and she suggested by Humdingers. Once i walked in, i noticed a nice lit casual place to have some dinner. We went through the menu while watching the chef cook on the grill through the open kitchen. I ordered the Blackened Salmon topped with Pineapple salsa along with Grilled Asparagus and Grilled corn. My friend ordered a chicken breast with a side of grilled asparagus and salad. I thought the food was great. I love anything grilled that tastes like it came fresh off the bbq grill. The Salmon was grilled perfectly still juicy on the inside, the asparagus the same way and the corn was grilled slightly with a little cajun seasoning. My friends chicken breast however was a bit on the dry side but her asparagus and salad were good. Overall i thought the food was prepared nicely and its healthy if u wanted to eat early or late in the day. I'm glad i stopped in. read more

Oh how I love Humdingers! I've been going here for almost 2 years now and just getting around to writing a review. This is the perfect example of a fast -casual restaurant. The service is quick, attentive and the staff is friendly. I'm not usually a creature of habit but I can't get enough of the Salmon, with Cucumber & Yogurt, with Grilled Zucchini on the side--so I order it every time I go there. I've tried other things like the tacos but the salmon is where it's at--it's grilled to order and the char on it is always perfect. The array of piri piri sauces are also delicious and you can find the level of heat you're comfortable with. I like the "Hot" sauce. You get all that for $12-15. That's great value. Another thing...I'm a carb-fiend and for me to be satisfied and full after such a low-carb meal is amazing. There's definitely a rush hour during lunch so I try to come here before 11:30. If you come after 12, it's hard to find a spot to sit. I'm excited to hear that Humdingers is planning to expand--they have a good model and I'm sure they will succeed no matter what city the new restaurants are based in. Oh and I just saw that they had a brunch menu too...might have to check that out sometime... read more

The Salmon was excellent with Asian slaw! Try a topping to make it even better! Yum!

I LOVE Humdingers. And when I say love, I mean I'll gladly drive from Southaven to Poplar for dinner. I am really not a seafood person, but they have wonderful Piri Piri chicken as well. Without fail I get the chicken tacos and a side of sweet potato fries. The fries are SO good and the chicken tacos are amazing. They put the special seasoning on them and a special cole slaw and...oh my! I've heard equally as wonderful things about the rest of their menu, but since I am not a fan of seafood I've stayed on the chicken side of the menu. Everything I've had on the menu is fantastic. You go to the counter and place your order, and then take a number back to your table and wait. And I've never waited long, even when they were at their busiest. The location at Poplar is smaller and therefore tends to get busier quicker than the one on Germantown Parkway. I've been in there at the peak of lunch time, I only worried we wouldn't get a table and did not have any drop in the customer service level. Food is fantastic, restuarant is clean, and service is impeccable. I will defInetely go back and defInetely recommend it. read more

The set-up at Humdinger's is like Qdoba, but with using fresh fish as well as tacos. So, you don't order at a table, you place your order and go down the line, somewhat cafeteria-style (with much better food). It's a clever idea and you can choose from several varieties of fish. I had the skewered shrimp, but you can go for Mahi Mahi, tilapia, salmon, crispy fish and chips, then you request a topping. Some of the toppings were corn and bean salsa, sauteed mushrooms, a cucumber sauce, and pineapple salsa. I chose the latter. Delicious with shrimp. Then, pick a side. There are also taco combos, soups, appetizers, desserts, and a selection of beer and wine. read more

Really fantastic spicy, flavorful experience at wonderful prices! Got takeout here for the first time today - my order was ready in about 10 minutes (I called ahead) and they were very pleasant when I got there. I got the Swai, blackened with PiriPiri mushrooms, sweet potato fries, with rice + a couple sides of the Piri-Piri sauce. Fantastic, the fish was really well cooked, very nice portion, sweet potato fries were good, but by no means the best I have ever had. The rice was...well, good rice! I got the medium and hot grades of the Piri Piri sauce - they have great flavor and definitely packed a punch. The other two in the family got the Rainbow Trout (also blacked) and the shrimp skewers (~12 shrimp). Trout was wonderful - had GREAT flavor and texture. The shrimp were also well cooked - not dry at all and very well flavored. Great, inexpensive place to get some very flavorful food! Highly recommend! read more
