This is the OKD mania plate for $11.99. You get 5 wings and a big fluffy waffle
Gabrielle D.

I have been craving Chicken and Waffles for so long now. I was happy to find this place on Yelp for Chicken and Waffle. Y'all this food is so DELICIOUS!!! You will not be disappointed at all. I give this place a well deserve 5 stars because The CHICKEN was seasoned so good, and The waffle was the Best waffle I ever had. After you pour the hot melted butter on the waffle..... The waffle absorbs the butter and syrup...and it oozes back out after every bite. Also, I truly enjoy the hospitality and friendliness from Jamil and E. They were so inviting and funny. It felt like we knew each other.It was definitely top of the line service. The food was cooked in ready within 10 mins as promised. The restaurant was clean, and they offer Kool-aid as a beverage!!! I was excited to see Kool-aid as a beverage decision. LOL! If you love good comfort food, drunk, or crave Chicken and waffles. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place

Ita only one place in Memphis that seeves comparable chicken and waffles and it Mrs Pollys. This place is absolutely great. Crispy Chicken, fluffy pancakes. Great food.

Decent meal of crispy crunchy chicken wings and a waffle that seems like banana is in the waffle mix! It's sorta pricey but we had no complaints so it was ok!

The wings breading reminded me of catfish. I loved it!

This area has got to be the Capitol of chicken wings. What are there? 15-20 chicken wing places within a square mile? Not even counting the other various restaurants that also have chicken wings on the menu. I'll bet if you were dropped off anywhere on Winchester between Hickory Hill and Hack's Cross, you could walk like 100 yards and get chicken wings. I like wings, but I'm particular about them because most wings suck. Nothing really stands out between one place and another to lure me in. Except this place. It's chicken and waffles. True, there's a Waffle House about to open, but they don't have wings. Waffle Mania has that something different about it. The business started as a food truck but now is a store. He is a smart guy. He has his image on the walls and even made into the tables. They were putting a cool sign above the door while I was there also. I wish him the best of luck with all the local competition, but I think his edge might be the key to his success. As for the food, it was great. I've had wings till I'm nearly sick of wings and unless they're really good, I'm not impressed. Well it turns out I was really impressed. I've never had them quite this way. They were breaded much like catfish. Cornmeal and seasonings. The flavor even reminded me of catfish. I know that sounds strange, but I liked it. Usually I cover mine with hot sauce, but I liked these just the way they were. Also they were timed just perfectly in the fryer. The cornmeal had that perfect golden brown crunch and the meat was still juicy and tender. They were a bit on the small side, but perhaps they cook better this way. The menu promised me 3 wings but I was served 4 instead. Not sure if that's common practice, but it's what I got. The waffle was pretty dang good too. It had a hint of cinnamon and it worked well with the wings. They gave me a to go syrup, but there was syrup on the tables as well. I felt that the waffle was a bit doughy and could have cooked a bit more for that crunch. I'll add that the brix on the Coke was perfect! That's the term for adjusting the syrup and carbonated water in a fountain machine. Ever notice how McDonald's has the best tasting Coke? That's because most fools don't maintain and adjust their equipment. Most people don't know how to. I do. I have the tools. The Coke at Waffle Mania was that good. Another smart move. As for price, I spent $12 for the Mania Special, drink, and tax. It might have been $2 too much but I felt the quality was worth it. Also, this being fast food, tipping is not necessary, so it cancelled out. I felt like I got what I paid for. It seemed a little odd ordering through a window. I felt like I was buying a bus ticket. I was the first customer at 11 and the whole area around the drink machine was sticky. Other than that the place seemed clean. Service was fast. I didn't even have my drink made and they were handing me my food. If it was pre-made, mine didn't sit more than 2 minutes. It was super hot. I'd just wonder how much they pre cook and how long they keep it. All in all a good lunch. I'll return and try some sandwiches. 9/26/17. I'm going down from 4 stars to three. The chicken philly sandwich was a sad excuse. My friend ordered chicken and waffles. He was nearly done when I got my sandwich. I couldn't even pick it up once without it falling out. Wrong bread. Barely had cheese. Chicken itself was just ok. And why don't they have beef philllys? 8/21/18 I'm going down to two stars. They are playing rap music that has filthy and offensive language in every song. This is not appropriate for a public setting.

Chicken was so good just too greasy

We've eaten here once, and they got our orders wrong after it was clear as day. Anyhow. The food was DELICIOUS.. but extremely, EXTREMELY small portions for the prices. Won't be back any time soon. But once again, the food's flavor was fantastic!!

Kadence mania delicious!! 2 wings and a golden waffle
Ramona P.

Superb!! From the reviews, I was expecting great food. I already had it set in my mind that it would be delicious. On Fridays at work, we usually go out for lunch. It was my turn to pick, so I decided to give this place a try..especially since I've been craving waffles for about a week. When we walked in there was along line, but we were to the front in no time. The inside reminds me of a check cashing place...the order/pickup window. The decor seems to be outdated and the tables could use a mean scrubbing. I was here for the food, so I kind of looked passed all of that. I'm really weird when it comes to sitting on seats with any kind of tear marks. We both ordered from the kids menu. I ordered the kadence meal (2 wings and 1 golden waffle). After I received my ticket, we found seats on the side, due to it was getting really busy and people were crowding the front dining area. They call you by your ticket number when your food is ready, which took about ten minutes. You pickup your order in the same place that you make your order...so it was kind of difficult squeezing in to get our orders. The food was hot and fresh!!!! Delicious!!!!!! I would say, next time I will order the chicken tender kids meal..more meat..lol. I will definitely order again!

I finally got a chance to eat the popular Waffle Mania truck let me start by saying the chicken was seasoned to perfection hot and delicious the Waffle was hot and fresh as well it was an absolute pleasure to eat.

I have eaten here several times!! Every time just gets better and better. The owner is always there making sure each order that goes out is perfect. The food is the bomb especially the mania burger. The place is very clean . They will forever have a customer

Chicken tenders dipped in honey gold sauce
Key L.

Chicken & Waffles are my favorite combo in the ENTIRE world. I believe them to be an inseparable duo, even better than batman & robin. Before trying this place out, I would order my waffles from ck's or Waffle House and chicken from a lot of different wing places. Although content, I was unable to find a single place that could respect the chicken & waffle duo...until now. I tried the Regina Mania (3 tenders & a waffle) for about $10 (Came with one syrup, butter, & ranch). I had the tenders dipped in honey gold sauce and y'all , I have found heaven on earth. Let me provide a list on how I came to this conclusion. Pros: -The chicken was not frozen. It was hot, freshly prepared, seasoned just enough with a right kick, juicy, and a pretty average size. -The honey gold sauce was so good ( I legit used my finger to scoop up the remainder off the paper separating it from the waffle) bringing the chicken up an extra notch. -The waffle was big and subtly sweet and fluffy. -The employees were very respectful and the place was very clean. Cons: -$10 is a little steep to not come with a drink in my personal opinion. -The waffle was kind of soft and could have been more crunchy. Overall, the meal was delightful, very fulfilling, and I will surely be back!

3 pc special
Kayler H.

Started from a food truck and now we here. I've always wanted to try this place but would always miss the truck location. I ordered the chicken and waffle. I believe it's called the waffle mania. It comes with 3 pcs of chicken and one waffle. My only compliant here is the chicken the wings were so tiny. The seasoning of the wings was great with a spicy kick and the waffle was pretty tasty as well. The food was hot and fresh with little to no wait time. The fries were a little too seasoned for my taste but still was good( nothing a paper towel can't wipe away). My only suggestion would be larger wings and everything would be perfect. No worries I will have to try this place again.

Sunrise Memphis did not disappoint. We stopped in around 12:30 p.m. on a Wednesday and didn't experience any crowds or much of a lunch rush. That being said, after eating here, I completely understand why people mention waiting hours on weekends. The ordering process is simple: walk up to the counter, place your order, grab a number, and seat yourself. I appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch all day because it meant we didn't have to choose between the two. I ordered the chicken tenders with tater tots and an Arnold Palmer. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly the kind of comfort food you crave in the middle of a long road trip. Kyler ordered the Kitchen Sink, which came with eggs, bacon, hash browns, grits, and a biscuit. He asked if he could swap the cheesy grits and biscuit for biscuits and gravy, and they ended up bringing him everything anyway! It was a massive meal, but absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also loved the fun, eclectic atmosphere. The colorful Memphis touches throughout the restaurant gave it so much personality, and there was even a bar area that made me think this would be an absolute blast for brunch with friends. Sunrise Memphis ended up being one of our favorite surprises of the entire drive. If you're passing through town, do yourself a favor and stop here.

I ordered the Juniper Benedict and my friend ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy. The bacon potatoes were cooked perfectly, soft and slightly crunchy with plenty of cheese and bacon. The eggs in my eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and they used a regular house-made biscuit that soaked up the egg yolks perfectly. The restaurant was pretty big, but the ambiance felt like a small-town diner. The staff was super kind and attentive, too. The cost is par for the course for a nice diner in a big city. TLDR: Not a bad word to say about this place.

I had coffee and ordered the Belgian waffle that came with fruit and whip topping. The coffee was piping hot anso delicious you can drink it straight. The waffle looked good just was not hot and skimpy on the fruit and whipped topping. It had a nice crispy taste and flavor and was really good just not hot when it arrived.

This was probably the worst service I've ever had. Everything except getting seated took at least four times what it should have. So why five stars? My fiancé and I agree that this is some of the absolute greatest food we've ever had in our lives. We ate well past the point of being full and (consciously and willingly) compromised our dinner because of how delicious the food was. Seven months later, I'm still thinking about this meal. We had the biscuit board, the biscuit bake, and Pioneer Pancakes. I am devastated and almost positive that unless I travel back to Sugar Grits in Memphis, I'll never have a breakfast (or meal) this utterly mind blowing again. I sincerely hope the service improves because this is what food should be. I would gladly wait twice as long as I did just to taste this food all over again. But since I hope this place stays open, I need the service to get better. If you're planning on coming, make sure you don't have plans afterwards. Not just because of the service time, but because you'll be too gleefully full to move. Without the extraordinary quality of the food we received, this would have been the easiest one star of my life. Instead, this is the easiest five star I'll ever write. God, I hope I get to visit this place again.

I had looked over the menu online so I had set my mind on ordering a half chicken but he informed me they no longer offered it. I looked over the menu again and I decided on ordering the chicken salad waffle sandwich and it came with chips and fruit. My sister had the order of chicken wings and we got a side of mac and cheese, two drinks, and a slice of cheesecake. We sat down and waited for our food. It didn't take too long for it to be ready and the very friendly employee brought it to our table. The chicken sandwich was pretty good but it got soggy very fast so it got messy as the waffle kept crumbling. The chicken breast itself tasted really good and the sandwich was stuffed. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The chicken wings were the best ones we've had in a minute! They were juicy, crispy. and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was also delicious. It was hot and cheesy. We decided to eat the cheesecake back in the room since we were super stuffed after we ate all our food. I quickly noticed that it smelled funky as I opened it and it had an overpowering cheese smell. My sister took her first bite and she made a disgusted face. I then proceeded to try it and I did not like it one bit. It definitely did not taste like regular cheesecake or to what we are used to. This was not good. Overall our dinner was good and the service was great. Both guys that were working were friendly and provided great service. I would so come back for some more chicken wings and mac and cheese! Try them out!!

The bartenders were more mixologists, concocting liquid works of art that were pretty in presentation and delicious in taste. I ordered the Key Lime Pie martini, which was delightful. Not sour, but refreshing. The fresh lime juice was tamed by the vanilla vodka, and the Licor 43 brought out the best in both. Deciding we wanted a snack, we ordered the spinach dip. It was fantastic. This was the first time I had chips served with spinach artichoke dip, but it did not taste like a downgrade. The homemade chips were wonderfully crisp, and their subtle saltiness paired wonderfully with the touch of spice in the dip. Slim's is a great spot to visit while in Memphis.

The drinks complemented the meal well--refreshing, properly mixed, and presented nicely. Now, the only miss: the pancakes (not pictured). They were returned due to being extremely thin and lacking flavor. That was a noticeable gap compared to the rest of the menu, which otherwise showed strong execution. Overall, this was still a solid brunch experience, and I would definitely return. With a small adjustment to the pancakes, this place easily holds its reputation.
