    Chicken & Waffles
    Willie T.

    Went through the drive through on Wednesday to get the chicken and waffles which is discounted on Wednesday. Drive through was busy for a 10pm visit. Took about 10-12 minutes to get through it. Typically it costs above around $10.49 but it's discounted on Wednesdays only to $7.67 including tax. It also comes with a medium drink. I think the meal is a bargain. The chicken tenders are good. The waffle was a little disappointing. I like a crunch to my waffles and this one was soft. I suspect it was kept warm in some sort of steam table. The waffle was already cut up into 4 sections. Margarine and maple syrup was supplied. Overall for the discounted price, it was a good meal.

    Food was great! I love all the sauce selection, my fav was the cayenne ranch. The manager was nice and helpful. Inside was clean and spacious.

    Slim Chickens is a hit or miss spot. Sometimes when you go it's really good, sometimes it's meh. I prefer to dine in because the drive thru line usually takes forever whenever I visit. When you walk in, you order at the front counter and they will give you a table number if you are dining in. I've had their chicken wrap and wings. The wrap was missing something, maybe I just chose the wrong flavor so it didn't do it for me. The wings were pretty decent. I like their fries when they are freshly made. They have good tea for making an Arnold palmer. Depending on the staff you can have a clean space but if they are really busy they don't get to the clean up fast enough.

    Hair that was on my food

    To begin with I asked for sweat tea mix with lemonade and a sweet tea. And they gave me a coke and a sweet tea with breading crumbs in it. Then I ordered a salad with grilled chicken and they gave me fried. And to top it off I got a long probably females hair in my salad. Horrible experience don't recommend

    Chicken tenders were delicious and tender , great flavor for meats and dips ,brownies were delicious as well

    Wings and fries
    A E.

    Food: overall, it presents as if it will be enjoyable but their chicken sandwich was okay. The fries were awful (dry and taste of old oil/grease) Their hot wings were over cooked, just too hard to enjoy. Service: was okay, nothing to brag about but it was not terrible! Ambiance: is causal, clean and convenient.

    Looks good but it was not. I even added an egg once I got home. But, still, no good once I started eating.

    I have given them a fair chance. I tried different meals and all have let me down recently. I ordered a slim salad 2 days ago, got home and it was slimy. I called the store, spoke with the manager and was told they would replace it anytime during the week because they were now closed. Went back today to get the replacement and IT'S STILL ALL BAD. Today's salad was WARM, yes the lettuce was warm, the cucumbers looked translucent, the cheese was melted, croutons were soft. It was awful and to the trash it was fed. I do not even want to try again. Garbaged and will not be returning. If you enjoy warm salad, go for it.

    I have eaten there many times, but this last time I ordered the grilled chicken strips. They were great. I will definitely order them again.

    This was my second time visiting Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, with my first experience being…read moreat their East Atlanta location. This time around, I stopped by the Downtown Memphis location, which is tucked away in a residential area not too far from Beale Street. A little off the beaten path, but definitely worth the trip. Now, let's talk about the experience. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged. A few employees made eye contact, but nobody said a word. I eventually learned from another customer that it was a seat-yourself establishment. Interesting! LOL. However, the moment I sat down, someone came right over to take my order. I guess everybody strictly stays in their lane around here! I ordered the three-piece white meat meal with coleslaw, baked beans, and a small side of mac and cheese. BABY, that chicken was GOOD! Everything came out in a timely manner, piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The chicken was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. Exactly what I was looking for! Another thing I appreciated was the cleanliness. Both the dining area and restroom were clean and well-maintained. The prices were also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and amount of food you receive. My only real criticism is the initial customer service experience. A simple greeting or acknowledgment when someone walks through the door goes a long way. Other than that, I enjoyed my visit. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! The food speaks for itself, and Gus's continues to deliver on that front.

The chicken had a good spicy and juicy. The sides needed seasoning and help all the way around. Our service was nice and good just the sides I had a big issue with.

We spent our first night in the state in Memphis and were ready for some good Southern food. We had the ribs, barbecue, beans, sweet tea, and a cold beer--and everything hit the spot!

The service was great, the wait was minimal, and our food came out so quickly it was almost like they were waiting for us to arrive!

I ordered the ribs dry with the sauce on the side, and they were absolutely delicious! They were packed with flavor and literally falling off the bone. The baked beans and turnip greens were also extremely good and definitely worth trying. Overall, I had a wonderful experience from the food to the atmosphere and service. I'm definitely glad I gave this spot a try, and I would absolutely recommend Blues City Cafe if you're looking for good barbecue and a great atmosphere!

    I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

I'm a creature of habit so I get the same thing with fried okra. The service is always attentive and giving.

I recommend going during the lunch hour or during the week for dinner because on a weekend or Sunday afternoon, you're gonna have a wait.
