    Great chicken, huge tenders, nice pepper gravy and one of the few places with livers and gizzards

    Jack Pirtle's world famous chicken!
    Elliott S.

    @jackpirtleschicken #SINCE1957. This a memphis staple. I first time had the chicken I had to be 4 or 5 years. Til this day this is why I LOVE CHICKEN. One of the best in town true homestyle fried chicken. I usually get the chicken livers and rice. The gravy no words! @yelpmemphis chicken foodie #memhopeats901

    Stopped by for after work lunch.

    Imma give them 2 star just because it's hard to let that chicken fried steak go. But as for the workers that was here today get 0 stars . Arrived at window told me to pull up which already had a line. So I parked and went inside to order. Upon entering restaurant worker was arguing and cursing. No one at front counter to acknowledge or take order. So I just left stomach growling and shxt... this is ridiculous, when you try to spend wit us and us just dont never seem to be on point.. this location to me is off limits order at you own risk...hell you might even make it in WORLD STAR...I'm very upset cause my taste buds was ready for that chicken fried steak sandwich...

    Refried/old chicken

    It's like roulette, sometimes the chicken is fresh and others it's not. I normally got through drive thru asking for my order to be cooked fresh (freshly dropped), only to get refried food, unacceptable. Tonight I asked repeatedly and each time I was handed my food, I was disappointed, I just gave up, but insisted on placing this review. Do better, Jack Pirtles!!!

    I'm not going to rant... I've been here about 4x within the last several months and I guess it's not them, it's the new recipes that they've been using. It seems that each location is like this, but Long story short? Jack Pirtles isnt the same. Everything is so very bland and has no taste. Gave this location three stars because the service Is good! :) if you catch them on a good day, the gravy may be decent!

    Memphis has plenty of places to get fried chicken but Jack Pirtle's is in a lane of its own when it comes to flavor. Many talk about the arrow ding areas of the different jack Pirtle's but I don't go for the ambiance but for the flavor. The chicken has a savory flavor that isn't too salty or spicy and you can always count on the gravy and biscuit.

    4 piece mixed box with fries, biscuits, and gravy. After drink and tax, just under $10.

    It's fast food chicken, but it sure is good! That gravy is really the shit. It's an old, worn out building with little attention to the dining room, but they do have a 98 health score. If you don't mind getting messy, you gotta try that steak sandwich! This is 5 stars in my fast food category, which is a lower standard than I judge full service restaurants.

    Anthony at this Jack Pirtle's location is an absolute joy. His customer service skills go above and beyond. I have never had such a great experience and I have visited every Jack Pirtle's location in Memphis. I'm so happy to have found a location with not only wonderful food but also great customer service. Thank you Anthony and all that you do!!!

That was our second good decision as more people started arriving while we were there and as we were leaving. The service was good and ,even though it was starting to fill up, the food came out pretty quickly. I pray people exercise patience with this place because things could become hectic if the place becomes crowded. Now the food.........oh my goodness the food. My wife ordered the catfish and grits. I got the peach cobbler waffle with smothered potatoes and a side of eggs. That waffle is one of the most decadent breakfast dishes I've ever eaten. One reviewer said it was too sweet for her taste. As a person who loves sweets, this thing was perfect!! I didn't even need the syrup! Everything was seasoned to perfection! We will definitely be back.

The interior is not pretentious by any means and as a matter of fact there's a very neighborhood feel. You have to order for the counter and the young man running it (one of the owners I'm assuming) was exceptionally kind. I immediately picked the catfish and grits and it came out to my table in about 6 min. The fish was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The grits were amazing. All in all I had an absolutely wonderful experience and can't wait to come back and try more!!

The waiter we had was being trained and that made the experience better. We got the attention of two waiters. This place was not busy at all. I think there were only 4 parties there. This place deserves a lot more business. For drinks, I ordered the Peach Martini and Long Island. The Peach Martini was a little too sweet for my taste and I couldn't taste the alcohol. The long island was good. I ordered the Creamy Cajun Pasta. It is not as big as it looks in the pictures but it packs a ton of flavor. They seared the sausage on both sides and thinly sliced it. Everything about the dish was perfection. The apple cobbler was also very good. Be patient with this place because they will be out of certain menu items but the food you get will be wonderful.

I definitely enjoyed the convenience of it being in the Cordova area as well as the ambiance. The art and music were definitely a plus. I had the pasta, which was fine. It was nothing to write home about; however, it seemed that the night I went, they were understaffed. The bar area was particularly quite slow. However, the servers and the bartenders were all nice and doing the best that they could. I will be back to try it again. It is a great stop for a no-frills, relaxing time near the house if you life in the suburbs of Memphis and don't want to make a drive to have a good time.

The hostess seated my wife & I and our server Carter did N excellent job for us. The restaurant is large and well spaced out. It is also clean and the ambiance is a home type feel. We started with the Fried pickles cooked in fresh oil and came out hot. The country dip is good. Basically roast beef cut up and provolone melted cheese on top within a roll plus an au jou dipping sauce. It's chunkier than a normal French dip but it is good. Flavor wise, it was average and could have been seasoned a bit more. The beef is barely above the bland side as far as pot roast beef is concerned. However, combined together the components elevate the sandwich. It's worth the try to see if one would like it. French fries were good and freshly lightly salted. Cole slaw was basic. Not too creamy but also not sweet. My wife got the fettuccini Alfredo with grilled chicken. It was good and you will notice the grilled flavoring on the chicken. For me, the food could have benefited from a bit more seasoning but that is subjective. The meals were well worth the cost and Pop's deserves to be on anyone's go to eateries if you want good comfort dining.

There's nothing like eating a grilled chicken salad dry. Funny thing is, all the people who ordered a salad were in the restroom within the hour with diarrhea. I had the fish and chips. They left out the malt vinegar I requested. Soggy fries were in the same container and we received a roll and a piece of cornbread nobody ordered. Just a total lack of incompetence once more. If this is considered a "neighborhood" restaurant, there's no wonder for sale signs are all in the area. They really need to pay more attention to to-go orders especially when they are getting gratuity. I had to explain to the millennial who picked up our food what Joe Pesci said in "Lethal Weapon 2" in regard about the drive-thru. Needless to say, he never heard of Joe Pesci or "Lethal Weapon." Anyway, Patrick's justs needs to do a better job all around. Everyone else thought their food wasn't fresh. Nothing spectacular. It's a shame they closed Piccadilly down the street because I would have much rather had that instead.
