Breanna T.

Black Owned Alert So let me tell y'all about this Classic Locally BLACK Owned Memphis food truck. KCs Southern Style Fried Rice. Baby let's get into it. I don't think I've been to this spot since I was as in middle school but I am here to tell you that they are still as good as I remember so many years ago. Though it may look like Chinese rice I can assure you the flavors that come with KCs rice is incomparable I am 99% you that this fried rice is def made with some soul! I highly recommend for your next takeout you should consider stopping by KCs!! Let them know @tastingwithabreeze sent you Pictured: chicken fried rice #foodie #KCs #Local #travel #traveler #foodgasm #foodporn #memphisfood #foodie #reviews #explore #explorepage #viral #blackfoodblogger #blackfoodie #nolaeats #neworleansfoodie #memphisfoodie #downtownmemphis #memphisdrinks #901food #southern #summerdrinks #drink #memphisTN #rice

Love the food here! Made to order piping hot! This chicken fried rice is delicious so much meat.

Smoked fried rice with chicken, beef ,shrimp and ,extra egg.
King G.

Food always is good I call and order ahead usually 20mins. The rice has smoked meats and it gives a sweet Smokey flavor that makes this rice very unique.

Smoked rice and fried apple pies. Thats all im going to say. Get with it... yummy yummy in my tummy. The outside view from parking lot

This spot is my fix for chinese rice with a spin. The smoky flavor of the rice is mesmerizing. O snap don't forget about the fried apple pies .....Sugar Honey Iced Tea.

Rib tip fried rice

This is one of my favorite little known yet known (that doesn't make any sense but I don't care) places in the Memphis. The line is always long and parking lot is always packed when I go. I started calling ahead of time, but 75% of the time they barely answer the phone. Crazy. The fried rice is great BUT the rib tip fried rice what you need. With COVID going rampant, you need the smokey goodness of rib tip fried rice. I'm just saying. 45 minutes and 3 unanswered phone calls. Worth it.

My client took us here and he didn't really say what type of food they served, but it ended up…read morebeing pretty good. Later during the meal, he admits that Momma's is one of his spots, so that's saying a lot. It sort of looked like another bar/restaurant from the outside, but they have a nice outdoor patio overlooking an old decrepit building which is at least some scenery. Once inside, you'll quickly see it's highly decorated and has a claim to be one of the only trucker themed bars in the US. Inside is decked out to the ceilings with signs, neon, old mirrors, collectibles, and many other items. I swear it looks like it's been in business for 30+ years, but my client said only a couple of years. I looked over the basic menu and saw burgers, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, a famous pork chop, wings and a few other items. The client and my colleague quickly ordered devilled eggs, cheese curds, and chili cheese fries. The first two apps were really good, I didn't try the fries though. They had a burger of the day, and a food special of the day, but I settled on the wings. With those I chose the 10 pc, Buffalo with dry rub, smoked. Kind of a weird combination since most people usually order dry here apparently, but I like saucy wings. When they come out, they are huge and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish them. I think I could only eat 6-7. My colleague had a ribeye steak salad which was a protein bomb he loved, and my 2 clients ordered a big rig grilled cheese which he also loved and a fried chicken sandwich (firebird) which looked really good. Overall, I really liked this place and it's one of the best meals I've had in Memphis the handful of times I've visited.

I went two separate times and had two different experinces. One experience with an invited group…read moreand second experince was togo order. With the invited experience the food was hot and fresh because we are featured guest. However, even with food togo there is a reasonable hottness that stays with fresh cooked food. I ordered a Cobb salad with fried chicken and a burger with wedge fries at a lil after 5:00p and text to pick up was 5:21p. I was there to pick up at 5:28p. I walked in and stood in the entrance, near make shift board hostess stand, not sure but to my left was a hostess counting money, a guy at a kiosk eating with an apron on and the busy bartender. The hostess saw me, smiled and finished talking with guy at kiosk, they talk briefly until he sees me then walks over. I grab the order and feel no warmth. I figure the buger on top of salad maybe but nope, sure enough I get home and it's old and the fried chicken on the cobb salad is frozen. It was dried out and reheated. The amount of blue cheese was insane the lettuce was not fresh. The cheese on the burger was two different colors, the toppings looked old as well. $45 for a salad and burger, trying to support our local spots and the inconsistency is appalling. The burger was so good and fresh at the invited event only for me to remember it, and want to go back months later. The I pay my hard earned money, use my expensive gas to drive from East Memphis to Downtown and get a frozen breaded chicken patty on a salad and an old burger. If my feelings ain't deeply hurt because why are you not cooking real chicken breast?

The rebranding would have been a better choice for our tastes, with big foot. The theme now is a trophy lodge sort of thing! The food is good, this is a Memphis original here. The food was great! The menu has all sorts of interesting things that are unique to the area. Having some food allergies they made me something off menu. This is a great choice to complement anything you do in the evening of Memphis. The staff was great, and pricing was excellent!

This was one of the most upsetting dining experiences we've ever had. We looked at the menu and…read morewere charmed by the food, so we decided to try it out. The food was fine but our meal took forever because each person's food was delivered one person at a time, and so slowly that #1 was finished before #2 arrived. There were four of us. It was excruciating. We finally asked about our last person and realized the order hadn't been put in, and when it was brought out it was missing a side. I don't know what was off, but it was not a good experience. The vibe wasn't bad, and the food was great. I think on a better night it could be a great place to go.
