    Strawberry shortcake
    Neil M.

    Great place. Best ice cream anywhere around. I've had the strawberry shortcake and the hot fudge cake. I also love the patty melt. The French fries are stray cut and I'm not fun of steak cut.

    An absolutely incredible place to eat. We stopped by here on a recommendation from a friends and couldn't be more pleased. The food and service were perfect, not to mention that it was the most incredible hamburger in west TN. Don't forget the ice cream, it's great too.

    It is a run of the mill,small town,greasy spoon,hamburger joint.The food is average,nothing particularly stands out on their menu.Last time I went there,they seemed not to know how to react to someone having a service dog.Even after I told them,I would look up over at the women behind the counter to see them eyeballing me.(Not conducive to a comfortable dining experience)It has been in Milan for years,but that does not make it special,just familiar.The clientele usually consists of good ol boys and elderly people.The staff is a mix of women who should be of retirement age already or teenybopper girls. All in all,an okay place though if you want something on the cheap or are just totally starving.

    Hot fudge cake. Enough for 3 people and DELICIOUS!

    A MUST STOP. Chow Wagon is everything you want in a local restaurant. People are nice, food is delicious, you won't spend a lot of money, and you're bound to run into someone you know. Have been many times but stopped last week while in town with my family. We all had double cheeseburgers and fries. I'm a sucker for crinkle fries and these were straight out of the fryer. The double cheeseburger was delicious. For dessert, we split the hot fudge cake. It was more than enough for three people and was incredible! I can't recommend enough.

    Grew up in Milan and now live in Long Beach, CA. I can tell you when you move away from these parts…read moreone of the unrequited cravings you have is for an authentic Tennessee pulled pork BBQ sandwich with hot sauce and cole slaw (ask for that on a sandwich in California and wait for the funny looks). Milan and great BBQ are synonymous in my mind. From the time my family moved to Milan around 1962, The storied Silver Kitchen was the popular spot for the best pulled pig sandwich around. I'll forever remember the big hickory burning oven's you could see cooking up the next batch of perfectly smoked deliciousness. I also shall not forget the delicious feeling of naughtiness I got from eating in a place that served beer. OK, so after sharing my bona fides on Milan BBQ History this review is to recognize Smokin' Hot BBQ as a worthy successor to Robert and Joannne Appleton's legendary Silver Kitchen. Mark, the Smokin' Hot owner (LOL, I just called him that because I'm sure no one else ever has) is someone I've known since the first few months my parents settled in Milan back in '62. I've watched from afar all the hard work he has put into creating a great product and growing his business. On trips home my tastebuds always lead me to the SH drive-through. This trip home I've eaten several times in the new sit down restaurant and got great service and food each time. I'm sure they have some kinks to work out and I'm sure they will. Highly recommended--a favorite with locals. And they serve beer.

    Stopped at Walgreens to pick up scripts and saw this little place and since it was dinner time…read moredecided to stop in . Boy I am glad I did! I got the half rack of ribs beans and smoked cabbage. I got the regular bbq sauce on the side just in case I did not like it. They also offer a hot spicy one. Well the ribs were so tender they wanted to fall off the bone. The beans had chunks of brisket mixed in and the smoked cabbage was awesome. I loved the bbq sauce . If you are in the area you have to give them a try!
