Today I ordered the lunch special: pulled pork barbecue with fresh homemade coleslaw, crispy French fries, and a Dr Pepper. Everything was delicious, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. I had the pleasure of meeting Kenzie, who provided excellent service, and the manager, Cory, who was friendly and welcoming. I learned that Kenzie makes all of the restaurant's homemade fried pies. Cory recommended the chocolate fried pie as one of his favorites, and after trying it, I completely agree--it was absolutely outstanding and the perfect way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself is older and a bit dated, but it is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, hometown atmosphere. During my visit, there were plenty of locals dining in, and I noticed a steady stream of customers picking up to-go orders, which says a lot about the quality of the food. I have high standards when it comes to food, customer service, and cleanliness, and I'm happy to say this restaurant met every one of them. If you're looking for authentic barbecue and friendly service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth the drive. John Lobato, DIT

The atmosphere is old and could use some remodeling, as it feels very dated. The staff is always very nice and professional, and they do a very good job. I eaten here now at least 8 or 9 times in last 7 months. They could expand the senior menu to include the burger and pizza. Just a recommendation since most of the people who eat here are retirees. I am sure the management or owners won't care or take anything I say seriously but I hope the general public that reads my reviews will care.

When I order…read morefor pick up I've ended up waiting 30-45 minutes after the initial 45 minute wait time (total of 1.5 hours). This has happened 4-5 times in the last year. The past two times we went around 6:30-7:00 p.m. with our grandkids and ended up waiting over an hour for our food and it was cold. This last time we paid for a salad bar and drinks and left after waiting over an hour for our entres. The manager was rude , acted like we were causing trouble for her. We love supporting local businesses but we're done with Olympic. I don't see how they will continue to operate like they are now.

If you think small-town restaurants can't surprise you, this place will prove you wrong…read more A friend and I chose it because it's exactly halfway between us for weekend meetups. In a small town, I usually expect decent food at best--something reheated off a Sysco truck. Instead, this place completely surprised us. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We were told the food is prepared fresh daily and the menu can change, which explains a lot. Portions are huge--we actually ended up sharing plates just so we could try more items. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and helpful without hovering. The staff was happy to talk about what they've tried on the menu and what they recommend. There's limited outdoor seating, but if the weather cooperates I definitely recommend grabbing a table outside. From what we saw, the inside looked very clean and well kept. This has officially become our new weekend meetup spot. We're already going back this Saturday, and I plan to keep trying something new until I've worked my way through the whole menu. One last thing that meant a lot to me: they allowed me to bring in my sugar-free root beer. Since that's the only beverage I drink, that little bit of flexibility made the experience even better. Highly recommend.

Yet somehow, I'm also enjoying an elegant dinner that I didn't have to cook myself. The drinks are reasonably priced, and so is the food -- especially considering each dish is truly a work of art. You can absolutely tell this restaurant loves what they do, and they do it beautifully every single time I've been here. It may not be for everyone, particularly if you're used to heavily processed fast food at "fast food" prices -- which, honestly, aren't much cheaper these days. The difference here is that the meals are thoughtfully prepared, healthier, more filling, and far more delicious. If you appreciate quality, creativity, and care in your dining experience, this place delivers every time.

Then I got home and went to eat my burger but there is cheese on it. It's not just sitting there and I can't easily scrape it off, it's melted in. If someone can eat cheese, I'm sure this is the preferred way it would come. It looked good.

I don't know why last week was my first time getting food from here. My husband has been eating at…read moreThe King of Wings (perfect name for this place) his entire life and it's the go to for him and our son when I'm out of town working. I'm hesitant to even put a review out there on how truly wonderful it is, with the major city that sits right next door to us and not wanting everyone to just rush out here and take it over, but I have to give credit where credit is due and The King of Wings is spot on. Immediately, when you walk in the door you're greeted by the sweetest southern lady that makes you want to bring a lawn chair on your next visit just to sit outside and talk to her and a gentle giant that you just know is a shenanigan stopper, but you want him to be an uncle to your teenage kids when they mess up. The environment is like home and welcoming and I haven't even gotten to the food that is going to make you question where have you been ordering wings your entire life. They have numerous flavors to choose from and their wings are whole wings, not the divided up wings that you're going to pay double or more for from other places. If you know, you know. Their onion rings are homemade, just like they came from your grandma's fryer and the fried green tomatoes, I will with confidence say are the best I've ever had in my life. The night we ordered was the night of the football jamborees in West TN so we knew we were going to have several hungry teenagers at our house that night. We got a 50 wing platter with a few different flavors, tenders, onion rings, fries, and Ofcourse those fried green tomatoes. All of this, for under 80$. They could charge double that and still beat out other wing places but they keep their business small and more like you're ordering from family. A few things to know before going 1. They are cash only. I had to go to the ATM to get cash because I didn't know this and to my surprise they started my order while I was gone. I love this about them, that they are keeping it small and instead of having to keep up with credit card charges and bank fees, they take cash and instead invest that into their food and keeping their prices affordable for everyone. 2. It is carry out only, but on that note as sweet and kind as the owner is, I think she would probably sit down with you and talk while you ate your food from your lap and it would be the best meal of your life. 3. They close at 6PM, so this isn't going to be that late night place to eat. They are a gem in a small town and keep to that small town appeal with their hours and pace. Seriously, in a town that sits up against a major city with hundreds of wing places to choose from, come to small town Somerville and give the King of Wings a try. It's going to become your favorite spot and you're going to leave there smiling and feeling better about your day.

The biggest issue was the service. The employee working the cash register came across as rude and unfriendly, as if customers were inconveniencing him. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like we were being treated poorly, which put a damper on the entire visit. While the food tasted good, the portions were a bit skimpy on ingredients for the price. Considering how expensive everything was, I expected better value and a more positive customer experience. I know this restaurant has plenty of fans, but I found some of the employees to be arrogant and dismissive. The treatment we received felt rude and unprofessional, and it left a lasting negative impression. Overall, I am deeply disappointed. Good food can only make up for so much, and the poor service overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable meal. I would not return based on the way we were treated. It's very clean but very old stuff and to much on display with old plants everywhere.

If you're looking for good home cooking and a friendly atmosphere, this is the place. The food was delicious. I ordered the catfish with greens and purple hulls. It's very hard to find good fried catfish that's not soaked in oil and way salty. I usually steer clear of fried food. My significant other order a 4 veg plate. Everything was seasoned perfectly. I didn't even use hot sauce, which I normally do. We also tried the cheesesteak fries which were awesome. The only downside was that no coffee was available (not that big of a deal because the tea was good) and we didn't leave room for any freaking dessert (our fault). Thank you to the chef and thank you to the lovely lady that greeted us and took our order!
