    This is the OKD mania plate for $11.99. You get 5 wings and a big fluffy waffle

    I have been craving Chicken and Waffles for so long now. I was happy to find this place on Yelp for Chicken and Waffle. Y'all this food is so DELICIOUS!!! You will not be disappointed at all. I give this place a well deserve 5 stars because The CHICKEN was seasoned so good, and The waffle was the Best waffle I ever had. After you pour the hot melted butter on the waffle..... The waffle absorbs the butter and syrup...and it oozes back out after every bite. Also, I truly enjoy the hospitality and friendliness from Jamil and E. They were so inviting and funny. It felt like we knew each other.It was definitely top of the line service. The food was cooked in ready within 10 mins as promised. The restaurant was clean, and they offer Kool-aid as a beverage!!! I was excited to see Kool-aid as a beverage decision. LOL! If you love good comfort food, drunk, or crave Chicken and waffles. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place

    Ita only one place in Memphis that seeves comparable chicken and waffles and it Mrs Pollys. This place is absolutely great. Crispy Chicken, fluffy pancakes. Great food.

    Decent meal of crispy crunchy chicken wings and a waffle that seems like banana is in the waffle mix! It's sorta pricey but we had no complaints so it was ok!

    The wings breading reminded me of catfish. I loved it!

    This area has got to be the Capitol of chicken wings. What are there? 15-20 chicken wing places within a square mile? Not even counting the other various restaurants that also have chicken wings on the menu. I'll bet if you were dropped off anywhere on Winchester between Hickory Hill and Hack's Cross, you could walk like 100 yards and get chicken wings. I like wings, but I'm particular about them because most wings suck. Nothing really stands out between one place and another to lure me in. Except this place. It's chicken and waffles. True, there's a Waffle House about to open, but they don't have wings. Waffle Mania has that something different about it. The business started as a food truck but now is a store. He is a smart guy. He has his image on the walls and even made into the tables. They were putting a cool sign above the door while I was there also. I wish him the best of luck with all the local competition, but I think his edge might be the key to his success. As for the food, it was great. I've had wings till I'm nearly sick of wings and unless they're really good, I'm not impressed. Well it turns out I was really impressed. I've never had them quite this way. They were breaded much like catfish. Cornmeal and seasonings. The flavor even reminded me of catfish. I know that sounds strange, but I liked it. Usually I cover mine with hot sauce, but I liked these just the way they were. Also they were timed just perfectly in the fryer. The cornmeal had that perfect golden brown crunch and the meat was still juicy and tender. They were a bit on the small side, but perhaps they cook better this way. The menu promised me 3 wings but I was served 4 instead. Not sure if that's common practice, but it's what I got. The waffle was pretty dang good too. It had a hint of cinnamon and it worked well with the wings. They gave me a to go syrup, but there was syrup on the tables as well. I felt that the waffle was a bit doughy and could have cooked a bit more for that crunch. I'll add that the brix on the Coke was perfect! That's the term for adjusting the syrup and carbonated water in a fountain machine. Ever notice how McDonald's has the best tasting Coke? That's because most fools don't maintain and adjust their equipment. Most people don't know how to. I do. I have the tools. The Coke at Waffle Mania was that good. Another smart move. As for price, I spent $12 for the Mania Special, drink, and tax. It might have been $2 too much but I felt the quality was worth it. Also, this being fast food, tipping is not necessary, so it cancelled out. I felt like I got what I paid for. It seemed a little odd ordering through a window. I felt like I was buying a bus ticket. I was the first customer at 11 and the whole area around the drink machine was sticky. Other than that the place seemed clean. Service was fast. I didn't even have my drink made and they were handing me my food. If it was pre-made, mine didn't sit more than 2 minutes. It was super hot. I'd just wonder how much they pre cook and how long they keep it. All in all a good lunch. I'll return and try some sandwiches. 9/26/17. I'm going down from 4 stars to three. The chicken philly sandwich was a sad excuse. My friend ordered chicken and waffles. He was nearly done when I got my sandwich. I couldn't even pick it up once without it falling out. Wrong bread. Barely had cheese. Chicken itself was just ok. And why don't they have beef philllys? 8/21/18 I'm going down to two stars. They are playing rap music that has filthy and offensive language in every song. This is not appropriate for a public setting.

    Chicken was so good just too greasy

    We've eaten here once, and they got our orders wrong after it was clear as day. Anyhow. The food was DELICIOUS.. but extremely, EXTREMELY small portions for the prices. Won't be back any time soon. But once again, the food's flavor was fantastic!!

    Kadence mania delicious!! 2 wings and a golden waffle
    Ramona P.

    Superb!! From the reviews, I was expecting great food. I already had it set in my mind that it would be delicious. On Fridays at work, we usually go out for lunch. It was my turn to pick, so I decided to give this place a try..especially since I've been craving waffles for about a week. When we walked in there was along line, but we were to the front in no time. The inside reminds me of a check cashing place...the order/pickup window. The decor seems to be outdated and the tables could use a mean scrubbing. I was here for the food, so I kind of looked passed all of that. I'm really weird when it comes to sitting on seats with any kind of tear marks. We both ordered from the kids menu. I ordered the kadence meal (2 wings and 1 golden waffle). After I received my ticket, we found seats on the side, due to it was getting really busy and people were crowding the front dining area. They call you by your ticket number when your food is ready, which took about ten minutes. You pickup your order in the same place that you make your order...so it was kind of difficult squeezing in to get our orders. The food was hot and fresh!!!! Delicious!!!!!! I would say, next time I will order the chicken tender kids meal..more meat..lol. I will definitely order again!

    I have eaten here several times!! Every time just gets better and better. The owner is always there making sure each order that goes out is perfect. The food is the bomb especially the mania burger. The place is very clean . They will forever have a customer

    I had the Regina Mania(3 tenders, 1 waffle) with corn nuggets. Super Awesome sauce. Very Friendly staff. I'm writing the review very satisfied, and Pleasantly Full. Many TVs to keep you occupied with watch the football games. Specially now that inzone dancing is back. OH YEAH! GO RAVENS!

    Chicken tenders dipped in honey gold sauce
    Key L.

    Chicken & Waffles are my favorite combo in the ENTIRE world. I believe them to be an inseparable duo, even better than batman & robin. Before trying this place out, I would order my waffles from ck's or Waffle House and chicken from a lot of different wing places. Although content, I was unable to find a single place that could respect the chicken & waffle duo...until now. I tried the Regina Mania (3 tenders & a waffle) for about $10 (Came with one syrup, butter, & ranch). I had the tenders dipped in honey gold sauce and y'all , I have found heaven on earth. Let me provide a list on how I came to this conclusion. Pros: -The chicken was not frozen. It was hot, freshly prepared, seasoned just enough with a right kick, juicy, and a pretty average size. -The honey gold sauce was so good ( I legit used my finger to scoop up the remainder off the paper separating it from the waffle) bringing the chicken up an extra notch. -The waffle was big and subtly sweet and fluffy. -The employees were very respectful and the place was very clean. Cons: -$10 is a little steep to not come with a drink in my personal opinion. -The waffle was kind of soft and could have been more crunchy. Overall, the meal was delightful, very fulfilling, and I will surely be back!

    3 pc special

    Started from a food truck and now we here. I've always wanted to try this place but would always miss the truck location. I ordered the chicken and waffle. I believe it's called the waffle mania. It comes with 3 pcs of chicken and one waffle. My only compliant here is the chicken the wings were so tiny. The seasoning of the wings was great with a spicy kick and the waffle was pretty tasty as well. The food was hot and fresh with little to no wait time. The fries were a little too seasoned for my taste but still was good( nothing a paper towel can't wipe away). My only suggestion would be larger wings and everything would be perfect. No worries I will have to try this place again.

She was extremely pleasant and welcoming. The portions are massive and the flavor intense. Jacob got the salad which had way more on it than explained. He loved it. I got the truffle sandwich and it was absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It had two giant fried tenders on it which were juicy and crispy with their amazing wingman sauce. It also had a truffle aioli that was subtle but definitely delicious. The fries are season and crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside. We got the wingman platter. For the love of God this was incredible. The wings were juicy as well as nicely crispy. The flavors, now here's where they hit. There was a honey mustard, wingman, lemon pepper and a type of jerk curry. Well let's say this, I NEVER dipped. Not once. The seasoning on every one of these was magnificent. The curry was my favorite. It had a unique flavor with a kick. Best wings Ever!!! The place earns its name. We also had the rolls which were spicy and flavorful. Wouldn't pass on those either. This place deserves more than 5 stars. If you're looking for fried chicken or wings DON'T MISS this place. I am ruined now, because I will forever want this food every time I want fried chicken. Damn that chicken sandwich...damn you!!! lol

When it came to which flavors to pick, I knew I had to try their award-winning flavor, Memphis Buffalo. I'm not a big wing person, so it was just ok to me. It was good, but didn't wow me. Also, I always get boneless, so I'm not sure if the flavor is different on regular wings- so take my review with a large grain of salt if you're a big wing person. The fries were really good but the flavored versions weren't that impressive so I'd rather just stick to the regular fries. The Pineapple Habanero was really good though. I really liked the flavor and the kick. It's one of the spicier things on the menu so I feel like I could handle the spiciest. I'd come back and try more flavors!

I like the face that they travel around Memphis so everyone can try the food. I ordered a couple of Buffalo Chicken Tacos, an avocado taco, and 18 wings with the flavors of honey gold, bourbon, and memphis buffalo. The tacos were great. I want to order some more. The wings are smoked with the sauce added later. The wings taste good but they are pretty expensive for what they are. People should try the wings but I prefer deep fried wings that hold the sauce better.

    SAGE " Serving A Great Experience"…read more The food here is amazing! So amazing in fact, we requested to meet the chef and ask him where he learned to cook like that. Personally, I travel the world in search of GREAT food and this restaurant, SAGE, met the mark! I was a bit weary of the service at first... But, I must say Charles and Rickey (Owners) made sure that my family and I felt and experienced the "GREAT EXPERIENCE" that SAGE aims to provide.

You might try with a side of shrimp, but honestly, the fish with the grits gets the job done-- it's so yummy! You will be ready for a sweet little nap after :) The inside is cute, not overly large, but comfortable enough with a pretty good playlist and sometimes they have a DJ. The drinks are good too! Pro tip: order the spicy margarita (I forget the actual name) and enjoy it WITH the lime! I nibbled little bits of lime and sipped the drink. That was a whole experience for me and I think that others should be so fortunate to have such a tasty treat! Something about the tart lime, the spice they use, and the drink, can't quite put my finger on it, but it's a YES for me! Also tried the mimosa flight. Important that you stir them all first to get the full flavor. My favorite is the lavender. That soul waffle they have on the menu (not pictured) is so unique, you might not think to order it, but I had a taste of that too and I was amazed! The chef knows what he is doing back there!

Unfortunately, we were met with one of the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. As soon as we sat down at the bar, the bartender--a Caucasian woman with a short haircut whose name I unfortunately didn't get--greeted us with an attitude that immediately made us feel unwelcome. Instead of providing friendly service, she was dismissive, impatient, and rushed us through placing our to-go order. She informed us that we could not eat at the bar, which was completely fine. We agreed without any issue and ordered our food to go. However, when my food arrived, I simply opened the container to make sure my order was correct before leaving. She immediately rushed back over and aggressively said, "Didn't I tell you that you could not eat at the bar?" I hadn't taken a single bite--I was only checking my order. Rather than politely clarifying the policy, she continued to scold us and make us feel like we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. We still hadn't even received my friend's food, yet she seemed more interested in lecturing us than providing basic customer service. Once my friend's food finally arrived, we left as quickly as possible. As visitors in town celebrating Pride, we expected a welcoming atmosphere and basic courtesy. Instead, we experienced hostility, impatience, and a complete lack of professionalism. There's a huge difference between enforcing a policy and treating customers with disrespect, and this bartender clearly doesn't understand that distinction. The food may have been fine, but the service was so unpleasant that I would never return or recommend Bar Dogs to anyone looking for a friendly place to eat or have a drink. Customer service training is desperately needed.
