But sometimes the tables are sticky or the floor is sticky. Lastnight my beef Philly cheesesteak was dry. It tasted like gryo meat unseasoned tough dry thinly chopped meat. The chicken Philly was flavorful. However, it didn't reheat good. Cheap thin shredded ice burg lettuce. The baklava wasnt as tasty,either. Usually it has pastashio on top along wit a sweet syrup..no crushed nuts on top n no sweet syrup. Still buttery but not as tasty. I will try the chopped beef Philly next time. But I fear sadly its time for me to loosen them. I spent $50 and it was mehhh at best. Still friendly customer service, tho.

The combination of freshly baked bread, smoked turkey, pickled avocado, and crispy bacon creates an incredible flavor in every bite. The atmosphere is just as enjoyable as the food. With its laid-back vibe and cozy seating, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Today, I paired my sandwich with Jalapeño Ranch Sea Salt chips, and to top it all off, I grabbed a Jarritos Pineapple soda--the perfect drink to complement an already amazing lunch. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich and a welcoming place to unwind, Hardtimes Deli is definitely worth a visit.

They…read moreare packed full of meat and toppings and many of the sandwiches put a unique spin on classics. The staff are always super welcoming. The only downside is the price, as spending ~$20 on a sandwich is never fun, but it seems like that's just about everywhere these days. However, if you're not that hungry, these sandwiches can be stretched to 2 meals to keep the cost down. A few of my favorites are the Turkey Bacon Ranch and the SSS Chopped Cheese. THEY ALSO HAVE CANNED GATORADE. IYKYK Being able to pop over to Slowdown Dry Goods next door while you wait for your food is a big plus. They always have some cool stuff to check out while you wait.

I took a pic of our sandwiches, potato salad and kimchi to send to my son in Dallas to brag that Memphis finally has a real Deli!

My sandwich was very good! $10 is pretty fair for what I got. I loved the sauce, the meat was also really good. The tater salad was AMAZING! I'd get a large of it everytime I eat there if this was a local place for me. The meal was a solid 9/10 If you're in Memphis and you want some good BBQ made with heart and soul, then you should try Elwood's. The only thing missing from my meal that would've completed it for me was some hot buttery cornbread. I'll certainly be back to try their ribs and other foods!

The smoothie bowl was melted, the fresh juice was pre juiced and poured in to a cup, and the zucchini noodle bowl was just... bleh. In this economy to toss a plate due to undercooked sweet potato and over cooked zucchini noodles as well as lack of flavor is sad, but expected. My advice to this establishment would be; plant based does not mean lack of flavor. Nor does it mean lack of presentation bc my food looked like it was thrown into a box. Very unappealing. Cashew ranch is impressive! Hence my two stars. Would not recommend and won't be coming back.

The wings were just alright in my opinion. It took about 20 mins for our food to get ready but the wings didn't seem like they were cooked fresh. They had good flavor but i just felt they could've been fresher for the amount of time we waited. I also ordered a chicken quesadilla - it truly stole the show! It was piping hot like i like my food. The flavors were very good! I'd def go back to get another quesadilla. Lastly, we got the honeybun cake! They make it in house! I would def order an entire pan of that cake! It was so good!

I have visited this location a number of times and the food is always good and prepared at the time…read moreI place my order. The wings that I've gotten have never been overcooked or cooked multiple times. This visit I ordered the Hwy 64 wings and fish with okra and fries. I liked everything except the okra, but it wasn't bad enough for me to never do back. The okra was just bland, and while I ordered no season I will ask for seasoning next time. Many times places coat the okra in seasoning salt and it is just a salty mess. Now the mask issue...the employees were not wearing mask, but their is a sign in the door for patrons to wear a mask and wait in the car until your order is ready. I did as the sign states and my food was brought to my car. I'd visit again,but not really sure if they are really enforcing the mask policy.

Best Wings lives up to the name--but the catfish is the real standout…read more Perfectly seasoned, fried to a golden crisp, and consistently done right--this catfish is unmatched in the city. The fried okra is just as impressive: crisp, well-seasoned, and not greasy. What really separates Best Wings is the attention to detail: House-made coleslaw and tartar sauce--fresh and balanced Toast that's actually toasted (an extra step most places skip) That toothpick in the box? It's intentional--it vents the container so your food stays crispy, not steamed That level of care shows they understand food, not just cook it. Hands down, my favorite catfish spot in the city limits.

But the spaghetti was fie, epic. Really saucy, not too thick nor too watery, with a really good flavor. I don't like most restaurant's spaghetti, but this one I love. Hope it's this good all the time. Will be back.

I ordered the 100 party wings for an event being held for my niece. I ordered 25 honey hot, 25 lemon pepper, 25 bbq and 25 seasoned. The freshness, favor and texture of each one was amazing. One last thing about the Best Wing establishment in Memphis. Big Myrt's has the best prices of all the wings places I checked with for a 100 party wing platter. Trust me if try out this establishment it will become your favorite wing spot like it is now for me...
