    10 Wings and Fries Combo

    Bought two 10pc Combos ,came out to $33. The price isn't the issue,the wings were so da*n tiny. They could've at least threw in a couple more pieces to accommodate us !

    I asked for a 10 piece order of boneless Teriyaki flavored wings with seasoned fries and a soda. I got some of the hardest fried pieces of chicken ever. They were suppose to have a flavor of Teriyaki. I have some liquid lying in the bottom of the plate. I had to cover the chicken with extremely liquidy sauce ever. There's a difference in having crispy fried chicken and your teeth may fall out when you bite into it. Sad part it doesn't have a taste at all and its like touching rocks.

    HOLD YOUR HORSES! This is NOT an exaggeration. I was flabbergasted to find this little gem out on Highland and Park. The inside is remarkably clean and tidy. They have two tv's while you feast on the delicious wings, burgers, and fries. I am amazed that this place isn't that busy every time I go (maybe that's a good thing, for me!). If you frequent Ching's Wings, do yourself a favor and break from the trend: give this joint a shot!

    The wings are dry and it looked like it has been sitting out for a while.

    Fries were thicker than the flats. Thought I would break a tooth if I kept trying to chew them. Can't give lower than a 1 or I would.

    I love the Shrimp and chicken fried rice, 10pc. Honey hot wings with a large fruit punch/lemonade. My favorite.

    Don't bother going after 9. They only serve foods that they don't have to clean up a lot after. Laziest service in the city.

    Tommy's Burger California Style - A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting Again and Again…read more Tommy's Burger California Style has become one of my favorite lunch spots, especially when my coworkers and I get together about once a month. Every visit has been consistently great, and that's something you don't find everywhere. The food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor, no matter what I've ordered. From their street-style tacos to their loaded California burgers, everything I've tried has been delicious and made with quality ingredients. On this visit, the California-style burger was a standout. The juicy beef, crispy bacon, melted cheese, crunchy onion ring, and fresh toppings all came together perfectly. The fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right, making the meal even better. The tacos were simple but incredibly flavorful, proving that this place does the basics extremely well. One thing that really keeps us coming back is the service. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and incredibly fast. Even during busy lunch hours, our food comes out quickly without sacrificing quality, which is a huge plus when you're on a work break. The only downside is the parking lot. It's fairly small and can fill up quickly during peak lunch hours, so you may have to wait for a spot. Thankfully, once you're inside, the great food and excellent service make that minor inconvenience easy to overlook. If you're looking for a reliable burger spot with consistently great food, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere, Tommy's Burger California Style is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely keep coming back, and it's an easy five-star recommendation from me.

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!

I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

This building has had many years of abuse. It's a former Burger King, then it was a Pirtles for many years after that. BK built across the street because they were over it, Pirtles came and left because the building was in such bad shape. AD said we don't care!! Paint that bitch and let's goooooooo! Fried rice and chicken wings is the combo that I never knew that I needed in my life but I am here for it now. Lemon Pepper Wet is a killer flavor and I've liked all the food I have gotten here. Pro tip.... Go when it's cooler outside or roll through the Drive Thru because it's only 3 degrees less than outside temp in this place. Hot ass hell! '24 - 55/100

They have great lunch options and specials that isn't too costly. I get the same thing when I go which is the Ham & Turkey sub with the wings. The wing sauce is really good. They are party style and you get five as a part of the combo. The sub sandwich is really delicious. Whatever bread they have is also so soft and buttery. The meat and vegetables are always fresh and plentiful. The service is pretty quick as well and the drive thru staff are always friendly and courteous. All that to say....I will definitely be back!

The baked beans had a beautiful bbq sauce with a little heat from jalapeño. However... the other sides were completely lacking. The coleslaw tasted like it came out of a bucket. Just premade. The potato salad was overwhelmed by pickle flavoring and tasted like sweet relish. That seemed to be homemade though. The Mac n cheese was just underwhelming, unfortunately. It was missing a little something something... like soul. I can't speak on the service as I had it delivered. It came quick and hot. I was worried it the chicken was going to steam and get soggy but that was not the case. I can't speak on the ambiance since of the place either. This place was recommended by some locals so I thought I give the place a try. Stick with the chicken and you'll be safe.

I was hesitant considering that it's a touristy spot and I should have listened to my gut. The food was mid. I was expecting crunchy fried chicken and was disappointed as all of the chicken was soggy. Granted I took it to go but I also picked it up as soon as I got the message it was ready and I was not even 5 mins down the road. I also ordered a side of Mac n cheese, greens, and fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes had no flavor and were... soggy. The Mac n cheese had no flavor and was coagulated. And the greens... the greens yall!!! So disappointed. They were bone dry and tasted like they were from a can. Was this place horrible? No. Will I be going back next time in town? Probably not. I gave 3 stars because I'm not from Memphis and maybe this is how yall like it. I'm just disappointed.
