    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.

    This was great about 3 years ago when we visited, but sadly it has gone down hill since then. I…read morehad pulled pork sandwich and wife had what was supposed to be chopped brisket. 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. Cole slaw was OK snd she said the mac and cheese was very good. The prices were very good but the food quality overall was barely 2 stars. We took most if the meat home to the dog.

    Overall it was ok. We came here over Memorial Day Weekend while visiting Cooperstown and expected…read moreit to be packed, but it was a little dead inside. The whole bar area was closed and they only had one small section of tables open. No kids menu but luckily my son is ten and was able to polish off a regular sized burger. The smoked brisket sandwich was pretty good, and my girlfriend enjoyed her Mac and cheese with brisket. Both decent but nothing to rave about. The beer selection was rough. Almost no local beers available, no prices listed, no indication if a beer was available on draft or in cans/bottles. I was surprised that with a world class brewery right in their backyard (Ommegang) they only had one beer from them available, and it was a can pour. Prices are on the higher end as well. $15 for a plain hamburger with fries and $16 for plain Mac and cheese before you add any toppings. It was a decent dinner, but if we are ever in the area again we would probably seek out other options before coming back here.

    I'm not sure why Rusty Bison doesn't have better reviews because their BBQ was excellent,…read moreespecially considering the local options. I ordered the brisket plate, and it was delicious tender, flavorful, and with a perfect bark. We also tried the smoked brisket ravioli, which were more like gyoza but absolutely fantastic nonetheless! The fried pickles were homemade and deliciously crisp. Plus, they have ice-cold beer to top it all off. Honestly, what's not to like? Highly recommended!

    Ordered the chicken dinner and my wife a hamburger. We waited almost a half an hour for our dinners…read moreto arrive. My chicken was average at best, and my wife didnt like her hamburger it had no taste and was soggy. Really the only thing that was normal was the salad bar. The waitress never came over to let us know when the food was coming, which is customary when waiting a long time. Also the home made fries were kind of soggy,, and the smaller pieces were outright crunchy and way overcooked. This placed used to be top notch, with great food, good service, and prices. We have ate at this place probably around 40 times, when it was good, back in the day. Hopefully it will get back to where it was before.

    I was in the area and had to try them out after 4 years. I ordered the 1/2 chicken, Mac and cheese,…read moreand macaroni salad. Which comes with a roll. The chicken here like I stated in the pass is off the charts delicious. Nothing even comes close to them. The Mac and cheese on this trip was good as well as the macaroni salad. Make sure when you come here you get a couple bbq sauces. The sauce is so delicious. So good that you can even find them sold in your local Walmarts. I ordered online which is super easy to do and ready when they say it's going to be. On Easter Sunday this place was jam packed in the dine in section which made my decision to order and take out online worth it. Just pulling into the parking lot your greeted ti the aroma of bbq and their smokers working overtime. Absolutely amazing. So after a 4 year hiatus, I'm glad to say that this experience was great.
