It was so…read moreenjoyable to see someone as excited as they were to tell us about their menu and what they're doing and wanting to do with the business as they get their bearings. My daughter and I had burgers that melted in your mouth (she even got hers on Texas toast!) my son got a burrito the size of his arm and enjoyed it so much he ordered another, my husband got beef brisket tacos and pulled pork tacos and they FILLED. They were genuinely happy to feed our family, and for all four of us to eat it was only $60! I would tell you about the Mac and cheese but I had to bring it home because I was stuffed. Thank you guys and we will be seeing you again, if my husband and son have their way, it'll be tomorrow! We wish you guys all of the best

Come for the food, stay for the folks…read more Recently moved to Upstate NY and decided I should go on a chicken wing tour of the area. I mean, these people know wings. Running errands in this area and dropped in to try Memphis King's (1st time visit) I always get the same wings (hot buffalo) at each restaurant/bar to keep things fair. Memphis King's wings are smoked, then fried. I've found that you lose a lot of smoke flavor when they're fried to order but these had just the right amount still present. Very tasty. And crispy! (a lot of smoked wings are grilled but, while delicious, it doesn't render enough of the skin to make them crispy and I like crisp!) I've sampled wings from about 30 places (so far) and I would whole heartedly put Memphis King's in my top 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying their other items because their burnt ends look great. As does the house made pastrami *droooool* As for the people, the gal in front of house was wonderful. And the chef (not sure if he was the owner or not) was so nice. Kept checking in on me to see how everything was and kept offering me suggestions and samples. Not pushy, just smart business because I'm 100% gonna go back.

They were very large sandwiches, but herd was mire like pot roast that brisket. And the pork was lacking in flavor. The sweet sauce was thin snd mire like a tomato sauce.

I can say do it now because once track season is open and the summer visitors come up prepare to wait for that BBQ goodness. Service is always top notch. While waiting on line you will be tempted while watching the cooks slowly slice into brisket, ribs etc... if your not a regular try the 5 region tour. You get 5 different meats, 3 sides and 3 corn breads. Perfect for 2 or more people, or if your hungry one solo mission to accomplish.

I wasn't crazy about the potato salad but I normally don't eat potato salad so can't really compare it. Banana pudding was smooth a hit of vanilla and slightly warm which I loved. Will definitely be back to try their other menu items.

We were in Oneonta for a week for Cooperstown All-Star Village tournament. We attempted to go here 3 times. Twice, we drove up and it was totally empty even though their hours said they were open online. When we came up, they were closed for a reservation. Once, we got in line and waited for 30 minutes and the line moved about 10ft total. We were still 20ft from the window. This is not a joke. If you want to try it, I would suggest checking their social media or calling in advance. There is no real schedule during baseball season and it can be an extremely frustrating experience. Good luck!

Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!

I got the Dizzy Chicken with Dizzy sauce with the Mac and cheese and collard greens, it was absolutely phenomenal! The chicken was moist and flavorful, Mac and cheese was extremely cheesy but not super heavy on the first bite, the collard greens had a nice kick to add to everything! My boyfriend got the ribs with cornbread and potatoes... the cornbread was moist and a perfect balance of sweet and savory. My boyfriend doesn't like a whole ton of sauce on his ribs but isn't one to say much about altering an order, but he said he had no complaints! The sauce was sweet sauce but they do have other options! Their menu was pretty simple but that was nice after a long day of driving. The service was helpful and comfortable.

The brisket was perfectly smoked, juicy, and packed with flavor.

The potato salad was fresh and flavorful, and the mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and the perfect side to complete the meal. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service. You can tell they put a lot of pride into what they do. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the Catskills. Highly recommended!

You order at the register and take your very large portioned plates wherever you'd like to sit. There are quite a few baked goods right at the register which looked great but I restrained myself, this time. I ordered the 4 rib platter which came with two sides. I got the mac & cheese and pickled beets. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and had good flavor. They give you a side of BBQ sauce in case you wanted some. The mac & cheese seemed like it was baked which is a plus for me. The only drawback is that it needed a little more flavor. Maybe a sharper, more flavorful cheese would help. I just put some salt and pepper on it and that helped a ton. The pickled beets were as expected - and I love beets! The platter also comes with a mini cornbread LOAF! Seriously, it's a good size mini. It was delicious, slightly sweet, and contained corn kernels. Also, a side of sliced pickles come with the platter and any sandwich. We were warned that they were spicy today and that was the truth! It was a bit over $40 for so much good food. We had to box up some of the food and it can definitely feed another person. Also, service was friendly and fast. I'd come back to try more items - probably including one of those baked goods :)
