    This is the best Pirtles I've ever been to. That unfortunately doesn't say a lot though. I occasionally have a hankering for some chicken livers and they have them available all of the time. Half of the time I get them from here they are good. The other half reminds me why I don't come more often. I've had the chicken years ago and it's just meh. It just doesn't compete with any other chicken out there. The little biscuits are strange but tasty when you dunk them in that heart stopping gravy. That's at least worth a try once in your life. They have been in Memphis for 214 years or so. I guess they are a Memphis tradition you just have to throw a little money every once in a while in exchange for a chance of a good greasy meal. I'm cool with that....

    Great chicken, huge tenders, nice pepper gravy and one of the few places with livers and gizzards

    @jackpirtleschicken #SINCE1957. This a memphis staple. I first time had the chicken I had to be 4 or 5 years. Til this day this is why I LOVE CHICKEN. One of the best in town true homestyle fried chicken. I usually get the chicken livers and rice. The gravy no words! @yelpmemphis chicken foodie #memhopeats901

    Stopped by for after work lunch.

    Imma give them 2 star just because it's hard to let that chicken fried steak go. But as for the workers that was here today get 0 stars . Arrived at window told me to pull up which already had a line. So I parked and went inside to order. Upon entering restaurant worker was arguing and cursing. No one at front counter to acknowledge or take order. So I just left stomach growling and shxt... this is ridiculous, when you try to spend wit us and us just dont never seem to be on point.. this location to me is off limits order at you own risk...hell you might even make it in WORLD STAR...I'm very upset cause my taste buds was ready for that chicken fried steak sandwich...

    Refried/old chicken

    It's like roulette, sometimes the chicken is fresh and others it's not. I normally got through drive thru asking for my order to be cooked fresh (freshly dropped), only to get refried food, unacceptable. Tonight I asked repeatedly and each time I was handed my food, I was disappointed, I just gave up, but insisted on placing this review. Do better, Jack Pirtles!!!

    I'm not going to rant... I've been here about 4x within the last several months and I guess it's not them, it's the new recipes that they've been using. It seems that each location is like this, but Long story short? Jack Pirtles isnt the same. Everything is so very bland and has no taste. Gave this location three stars because the service Is good! :) if you catch them on a good day, the gravy may be decent!

    Memphis has plenty of places to get fried chicken but Jack Pirtle's is in a lane of its own when it comes to flavor. Many talk about the arrow ding areas of the different jack Pirtle's but I don't go for the ambiance but for the flavor. The chicken has a savory flavor that isn't too salty or spicy and you can always count on the gravy and biscuit.

    4 piece mixed box with fries, biscuits, and gravy. After drink and tax, just under $10.

    It's fast food chicken, but it sure is good! That gravy is really the shit. It's an old, worn out building with little attention to the dining room, but they do have a 98 health score. If you don't mind getting messy, you gotta try that steak sandwich! This is 5 stars in my fast food category, which is a lower standard than I judge full service restaurants.

    Anthony at this Jack Pirtle's location is an absolute joy. His customer service skills go above and beyond. I have never had such a great experience and I have visited every Jack Pirtle's location in Memphis. I'm so happy to have found a location with not only wonderful food but also great customer service. Thank you Anthony and all that you do!!!
