The Most Delectable Fast Food in Memphis

Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (170) • $

"Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers is a great burger Shack that brings me back to another time with its burger shack ambiance and friendly service.The hamburgers are kind of a no-frills approach to burgers and a welcome and superior burger than those fast food burger chains.It is great to see these mom-and-pop independent burger joints are still around to remind us all that before those national burger monoliths became the norm, these independent burger joints were the place we headed to to get a burger and fries. Karin's Kustard & Hamburgers shows us how good a burger can be."

Margie's 901

★★★★☆ 4 (99) • $

"Great stop as you're walking on Main Street. Check out the flavors and combinations on the wall or make your own. The waffle bowls and cones are delicious, and they make them fresh. There are many options to choose from. You can definitely get a sugar rush and all of your calorie intake for the day with a stop here. There's some seating right outside the doors or you can enjoy it outside along the walkway."

Costa Vida

★★★★☆ 4.1 (82)

"Came here for the first time since moving to Tennessee and I'm so glad we did. I originally went in Arizona, and the food was decent. Since there's no Cafe Rio's in Tennessee, we tried Costa Vida again. I'm still a Cafe Rio girl (sorry!), but this was delicious! All our food was great, but to be honest--the service was the best. The guy working to-go orders (maybe the manager) checked all my food to make sure it was there. That's going above and beyond in my opinion. We'll definitely be back!"

Oscars Taco Shop

★★★★☆ 4.2 (70)

Mr. Rusty's Real Taste of Chicago

★★★★★ 4.6 (58) • $

"Great Chicago food! I was just recently back in Memphis (4-2024)and had the three tray tacos. Them tacos are good! They have the authentic Chicago food and it's top tier. Everything is good!"

Chicago Express

★★★★☆ 4 (68)

"This is a hidden gem! Definitely get food here if you are debating!!!!! Love all the Chicago paintings on the walls!!! The people that work here are awesome!! They are good people that appreciate their customers. We made it there with only one person ahead of us, but when we left, the line was out the door! We had a group order and they nailed every bite!!!! We had pizza pockets, Italian beefs, breaded mushrooms, fried ravioli, spaghetti, a burger, gyro, and wings. Definitely get a pizza pocket!!! The spaghetti has a bit of a kick in it. The wings are spicy, but good. The gyro is freshly cut and the pita was super fresh!!! Can't wait to get back there for more food!!!!"

Chick-fil-A

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (124) • $

"I dine here at least 3-4 times a week either for breakfast or lunch. I usually use the mobile app to place my order. But, it doesn't matter what time of day I visit, the staff is always friendly and makes sure you have a great experience. Sometimes you can catch franchise operator, John Francisco assisting his team as well. That's true leadership!OMG! The mac-n-cheese is so yummy. I add bacon to mine to make it even more yummy. That's the Southern girl in me. Bacon makes everything better! LOL This is a delicious meal all by itself. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I don't care what people say, Chick-fil-A delivers not only great food but great customer service."

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (61) • $

"Lunch time special.Skinny sandwich combo $7.99always great and fast service . pricing is managable love this place"

Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (124) • $

"Great food. Great service. Friendly staff!It's been a while since I'd been to this location. In the past the service was sub par. HOWEVER the service was excellent. Jasmine, the GM, made sure we had everything we needed, took the time to speak with us, and made sure we were taken care of. She has absolutely turned this place around. I highly recommend coming here.If it's a nice day, I recommend sitting on the patio and enjoying your burger and shake."

Hunan Express

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (75)

"We've lived here over four years and regret only now discovering HunanExpress. We ordered online and used the drive through so I didn't notice if they are seating inside. We got Hunan tofu over fried rice and LoMein with tofu. Both dishes were quite similar, the biggest difference being one was over rice and one over LoMein noodles. They both were full of vegetables and somewhat milder in spice than I anticipated so I was glad I'd asked for hot chili oil on the side. Each entree was enough for two meals and under $7 each. The small cup of hot sour soup was also mild, but flavorful. All dishes were piping hot so ready to eat when we got home. We'll definitely be picking up dinner here again, especially since eating out now during the pandemic is proving difficult."

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (55) • $

"Their subs are always very fresh and tasty. The steaks is fantastic. Italian sun is loaded with great meats. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and quick."

Sam's Greek Cafe 3

★★★★★ 4.7 (32) • $

"I've been coming to Sam's Greek for about 2 years now for lunch and I love the food here. The parking lot can get kind of hectic around lunch time but there are some stalls on the side as well as in the front that share neighboring businesses.My favorite is the gyro, gyro plate or gyro lamb salad. Believe it or not, their chicken wings are some of the best I've had. They're big and juicy. I suggest their spicy honey.Their customer service is always friendly. Seating is very limited inside the restaurant. But people tend to eat quick and leave.Prices are great. Super affordable for the amount of food you get.Overall I'd highly suggest if you're looking for Greek or a good place for lunch."

Chicken Coop - Memphis

★★★★☆ 4.2 (40)

"First time here but really good wings and meaty. I like mine a little more crispy but the offset is the meat was really moist. Tasty fries and adding hot sauce to honey gold was nice. Need to try the hot now that I have tasted the chicken. Great service esp during lunch hour walk in and served in about 10 min. Still hot and crisp when I got to the office.A definite place to come back to"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.9 (44) • $

"My favorite sandwich shop.I decided to try something new today, the #10 Tuna Sub. I found this to be the worst choice!!! Someone else may like it but l was terribly disappointed. (I think they put the Tuna in a food processor)OMG it was disgusting. I shall return but l will NEVER order the #10!!"

Hibachi Express

★★★★☆ 3.8 (46) • $

"Greeted and attended very well. Cashier was so helpful on all the questions I had asked. She always had this big smile on her face amazing customer service. Left a good tip To begin with the dish I got was so good its called General Tso Chicken it was so tasty I couldn't believe how delicious it was honestly. Everything was well done. Moreover I also got the Shrimp Tempura Roll oh my god it was flavory. Everything was so good here I was amazed Furthermore I totally recommend y'all to come and try this place out y'all won't regret it."

Flava House

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (69) • $

"A few family members made it in last night and wanted to order food while they settled in. The original order for catfish was cancelled as they were out. In their defense it was around 9p so we understood. A second order was placed using the UBER eats app for the 10pc chicken combos. We chose priority to somewhat expedite the order. The delivery was done without issue. The food was tightly sealed and everything was nicely packaged. They may want to get smaller containers as the asparagus was placed in a large Styrofoam box which is a little wasteful. They noted the chicken was hot and well seasoned. The onion rings were crispy. The food cost was very reasonable for the amounts."

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (45) • $

"Took my friend visiting from out of town to Firehouse subs. I had a hook and ladder. The sandwich was very good. Service was pleasant as well. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a pickle when ordering a medium sub. Also missing the hot sauces, I always would use the mango habanero one on the hook and ladder and it was delicious."

The Burrito Shack

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37) • $

"This is a good little place. The parking lot is small, but that can't be helped. They definitely give you plenty of food."

Denims Barbecue

★★★★☆ 3.6 (40) • $

"Food good service excellent. Menu with variety. Close to home no wait time. Pulled Pork delicious and 2 sides with cornbread muffin was very tasty too."

Sammies

★★★★☆ 4 (31) • $$

"TRIPLE TO LEFT TO DRIVE IN A RUN!Four words: IN. CRE. DI. BLE!!!Man, this place is blowing up! There are like 10,000 items from which to choose, and it's all made fresh right in front of you. The staff is friendly and engaging (unlike some similar sub shops which will remain unnamed), and the prices are reasonable.I had the West Coast Club which was KILLER good. It was fresh and had tons of flavor. I also had the bacon mac-n-cheese which was insanely good (flavortown earthquake). I've been to the other one in Martin, and it's great as well. These joints have a great culture and great model. I'm looking forward to returning."

Mr. Crepe

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"Delicious food and the staff is great! The chicken and beef crepe had so much flavor and it was almost like having a burrito! Don't forget to get ranch with it. The strawberry, chocolate, and banana crepe was amazing too! The staff is friendly and let us try a sample before ordering everything we got. The place is clean and busy but def worth the wait."

Firehouse Subs

★★★★☆ 3.5 (33) • $

"I like Firehouse Subs ! The subs are hot, full of meat, fully dressed, the bread is perfect. It takes approximately 10 min to get your order, but they produce a very good sandwich !"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★★ 4.8 (17)

"This place is probably my new favorite sandwich chain. They are fast, and friendly. The guy behind the counter took our order, and bashed out the subs as quick as he could, along with 6 other subs! He's like a sandwich machine. The amount of meat they put on a sub makes them well worth more than any other sub chain! The meat is also thinly sliced fresh to order, which makes it soft and melt in your mouth! I prefer cold subs, and their cold cuts are of good quality. They dress them "mikes way" which is onion, lettuce, tomato, oil & vinegar."

Crumpys Hot Wings Downtown

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (30)

"Worth the wait for hot fresh food. I won't even complain about the prices because it's just that good. The dining room is okay but I recommend you get it & go. Not the best location but it's working. Definitely going back again & again."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (23) • $$

"This location is part of a strip mall.The line was short and the customer service was great. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and it was great. Took about 5 minutes. I could have gotten more toppings but I didn't want the sandwich to be too sloppy."

Whataburger

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (44)

"Such friendly staff! Everyone was very hospitable and made sure tables were cleaned off asap. Very clean and the food was fresh!"

Firehouse Subs

"Always have great service when I visit. They give you a warm welcome to Firehouse greeting"

Tommys Burgers California Style

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14)

"We've ordered breakfast from here a couple of times, and were pretty impressed. Today we stopped to get lunch and were blown away. I got the pastrami burger and it was fantastic. I've read in a another review that they thought the burgers were frozen patties, and, I *suppose* this could be the case but they are very tender and flavorful. Not like other frozen patties you get at other burger joints. The pastrami was good, and the sauce tied everything together.My wife got the beef gyro, and I would caution you not to order this if you want a traditional-style gyro. What you get is something closer to a fajita in a pita, but it's excellent. If you're OK with this twist on a gyro, you won't be disappointed.From the breakfasts we've ordered in the past, you can't go wrong with pancakes, omelets, or the Mexican-style breakfasts. Stay away from the biscuits and gravy, though."

Whataburger

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (67)

"For being out of town person I will return to this location. All 13 of my family members had to visit this location and it was great. The girl from the register she was supper friendly has great costumer service and lots of patience. Thank you so much. Food was freshly made and location was super clean."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (37) • $

"When I am at one of my schools, we usually order from this location. I like that they deliver as sometimes it is hard to leave the school to get lunch. Food is usually delivered quickly and our orders have always been spot on. Their sandwiches taste pretty good as well. I usually order the ##4 Turkey Tom, which comes with turkey breast, lettuce, tomato and mayo. Sometimes I add bacon for an additional charge."

Firehouse Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (20) • $

"Firehouse is my go to for a salad with the fixins. I've never been let down. I get the hook and ladder salad with peppercorn ranch. It never seems to make it to my camera roll though because I dig in as soon as I get it. Even my non salad eating kid likes it."

Bad Bob's Barbeque

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (17) • $$

"Awesome BBQ, last minute party is no problem. Bad Bob had everything together within 24 hours. Order tonight and feed 12-15 tomorrow wasn't a problem. Thank You Bad Bob's"

Bojangles

★★★★☆ 4 (11) • $

"Better than chick filet. Good spice and reasonable prices fast service and clean 85 characters"

Arby's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (16) • $

"It's Arby's!!! If you are looking for a good roast beef sandwich with cheese and curly fries, this is your place. I've been here serval times. Service is always good and very fast. Plus everyone is very friendly! I have never had a problem."

Trap House Wingz

★★★★☆ 3.9 (8)

"Mood: It's Wing time! Think we have found our go to wing spot in Nashville. Was really good. The sauces were everything. Must try the trap house wing sauce by itself. Service was great, friendly quality, and helpful. The art wall was a HIP HOP classic and love to see culture inside of restaurants. Kilo box 10/10: not going to lie the mini cornbread stole the show. So moist and tasty. Came with wings, burger, fries, and mini corn bread. Was stuffed! Can't believe the price. Hot lemon pepper wings 8/10: think the hot aspect made it taste like just a buffalo sauce. Not bad but not lemon pepper flavor. Will for sure make this return and try other wing sauces."
