    Fried catfish
    Welexi H.

    I really enjoyed the food at The Crazy Coop Downtown, Memphis location. For my appetizer I ordered the fried pickles and they didn't stand a chance for leftovers. The pickles were hot, fresh and crispy. Dipped in the ranch dressing to add extra flavor. I will be going back for the fried catfish, I dipped my catfish in the sweet Cajun sauce and it was 10/10.

    I'll give them 4 stars, simply because the food is great. I've visited here twice the first time I dined in. I was blown away by the ambiance. So cute! However the service was horribly slow, but the servers were so kind and again, the food (I had the catfish twice) was 10/10. All of the sauce options are a little overwhelming because you really do want to try them all. The second time I learned my lesson and just ordered it to go. I've

    Food was phenomenal. The burger was the bomb and the wings was fire as well. Bar staff was excellent and they pour nicely. The ambiance was dope. Had a DJ that played later in the evening. A must visit while in Memphis.

    Great whole and boneless wings. They season their wings and fries very well. The inside also looks very swanky.

There is plenty of parking in a lot across the street. We went inside and found it to be pretty busy, but we got a table for 4 quickly. The place was clean and homey-feeling and I loved the fact that they used disposable plates, utensils and napkins! It is probably way easier on the crew to clean up, and it adds to the relaxed atmosphere. I had the corn nuggets to start, yum! We finished them easily, they were so good. Then the entree of my chicken tenders, beans, and Mac and cheese came out, along with my sweet tea. The sweet tea was perfect, I drank a whole one during my meal and they gave me another to go in the souvenir Gus's cup. The food was just great, chicken was juicy and perfectly crunchy on the outside. Beans and Mac and cheese, delicious! I ate all of it even though I was stuffed. I even went so far as to order a piece of pecan pie for dessert, but unfortunately our server came back out to tell us they were out of it! Guess it wasn't meant to be (this time)! Our server was really friendly during our whole meal, chatted with us a little and made sure we had a great experience! Bottom line.... Go to Gus's!

Some fried chicken is not so good. This fried chicken, however, is very good. All fried chicken is good though. I will not hate on any fried chicken other than the fast food sponge type. That shit is gross! I have been to all locations that these folk have. I hope they make it here (more on that in a few). This location seems pretty dead mostly and they are not doing many things to help themselves I am afraid. But then again, I have seen this at the other two as well in the past and they are still growing. They must be doing something right. I'm the dumbass that thought Soul Fish would never make it, so... don't forget Adam. The workers are very pleasant, all seem to be Filipinos in the FOH, maybe since that's the basis of the concept. They are super nice but there can be a small language and cultural barrier when communicating with them. It's pretty low key inside. They have minimal decorations and did not much more than paint the place on the remodel. The chairs are uncomfortable, especially loud when they hit the floor, and oddly light. Why I think they may be in trouble... The front door is permanently closed. The other door had a closed sign on it twice when I have been there. The last visit the staff disappeared into a closet and two people came in and stood there alone. A guy that didn't speak English came up front and the customers asked, "are you open"? Additionally, the one side I found I liked here at the chain is different at this location. The onion rings are terrible here. They are crappy panko versions that get soggy and nasty really fast. The prices have skyrocketed at this location as well. Since last time I was here the 3 pc combo had increased 25% from the prior visit. That's an insane increase! On top of that, the website doesn't work and the pics they posted on Yelp themselves show the old prices still. Hate that mess!! Love this fried chicken but probably done with this location. I do still love the chicken. I'm done with the combos because the sides are all absolute trash, and the cookies suck too! They always have. Never eaten more than a bite of one. Only chicken for me from here on out. '25 - 116/111

I haven't had the best of luck with Chinese food in Memphis so I did everything I could to suppress this unwanted craving, however, I just couldn't help myself. Little Petals pops up on Yelp as a possibility. I read the reviews and scrolled through the pictures. After looking at the location, I realized it was only an 8-minute drive from where we were. Why not, right? The restaurant is easy to miss. It sits right on the corner in an old shanty building nestled in the middle of downtown Memphis. The furniture and décor were of a standard Chinese eatery, nothing special; but the employees were warm and welcoming, greeting me with hellos and smiles. I got the black pepper chicken that came with a spring roll. I ordered an extra side of pork egg rolls because that's usually my go to. Everything was fantastic! It gives you the taste of that old school Chinese food you used to have as a kid, but better quality. The chicken was moist, flavorful and peppery. The egg rolls had the perfect amount of crispy crunch---they seemed handmade as well! Pricing is a little higher from when I was a kid, but you still won't break the bank here! As I started to think that great Chinese food was not an option for Memphis, Little Petals showed up at the right time and made me a believer!

    Late lunch, to go. Glad to see a place with pretty exceptional entrees has taken over this…read morelocation...everything else here before was standard 'I feel like Asian food for (meal)', and then I'd settle for this spot (as the Wang's on Main long ago closed doors and became a Dollar General - Memphis being Memphis) leaving underwhelmed and over spent. So, Little Petals, i.e., Petals of a Peony, Jr.: no one was inside. I assume this to be per usual for 2:30pm on a Tuesday. It follows then, that the service was, um, efficient and bespoke. Ordered the pork eggrolls (very good, the sauce that came with it - oddly the perfect amount was given in a little rectangular container - made these delectable) and the General Peony's Chicken. And this was damned good. Pricey for lunch, but I could have made 2 or 3 meals off of it. A satisfying amount of heat from the szcheuan (sp?) peppers; not overly breaded so as to make it a fried dough dish, but rather to carry the sauce on the chicken; the chicken was a quality cut, nicely sized per bite. A new go-to for lunch downtown.

This looks like the first franchise maybe. Need to read up on them. The wait is over now though! It looks just like the other one on the inside with bright colorful logos and beautiful pictures of fried chicken. I've been to the KCC on Stage many times but it's really out of the way for me. I need a reason to be in the area other than fried chicken. I do love fried chicken but an hour round trip drive for lunch is tough. My fish store is around the corner from this place so I now have new Bartlett food options. Yay! I stopped in eager to try their tasty chicken. It did not disappoint! They cooked it to order as it seems they do with every guest. They wait is 15 mins or more but it's so worth it! My chicken was steaming so bad you can see it on video. I love this fried chicken!! It's got a particular spice involved that I am not familiar with and cannot place it. I know that I love it though! It's so crunchy and still light. Great job!! Just lovely I wished the sides were better. They offer several but I haven't had one that I liked yet honestly. The Mac has changed a lot but has never been good. The mashed potatoes are weird with little uniform potato cubes in them. No on the slaw for me. The fries are the safest bet in my opinion. The meals are super cheap though and they all come with a cookie and a drink, so there is that. I usually just throw away the cookie. It's trash. Next time I will tell them to keep it. You get 2, 3, or 4, etc pieces and can name the pieces you want for no charge (I think). If you tried 4 breast they may balk at that, not sure. Solid place that will be on my regular rotation from here on out. I may just start buying the chicken in bulk and just eating it. I think I will be happier that way. '25 - 52/111

I had looked over the menu online so I had set my mind on ordering a half chicken but he informed me they no longer offered it. I looked over the menu again and I decided on ordering the chicken salad waffle sandwich and it came with chips and fruit. My sister had the order of chicken wings and we got a side of mac and cheese, two drinks, and a slice of cheesecake. We sat down and waited for our food. It didn't take too long for it to be ready and the very friendly employee brought it to our table. The chicken sandwich was pretty good but it got soggy very fast so it got messy as the waffle kept crumbling. The chicken breast itself tasted really good and the sandwich was stuffed. The fruit was fresh and sweet. The chicken wings were the best ones we've had in a minute! They were juicy, crispy. and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was also delicious. It was hot and cheesy. We decided to eat the cheesecake back in the room since we were super stuffed after we ate all our food. I quickly noticed that it smelled funky as I opened it and it had an overpowering cheese smell. My sister took her first bite and she made a disgusted face. I then proceeded to try it and I did not like it one bit. It definitely did not taste like regular cheesecake or to what we are used to. This was not good. Overall our dinner was good and the service was great. Both guys that were working were friendly and provided great service. I would so come back for some more chicken wings and mac and cheese! Try them out!!

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 gave 3 stars because I'm not from Memphis and maybe this is how yall like it. I'm just disappointed.
