"... and a little bit of chicken fried." - Zac Brown voice Tuesday's special is Chicken Fried Chicken!
Sauced or Smoked Wings. Memphis MoJo I think I got Buffalo. She described as "sweet & spicy" but not sweet to me. Good though.

The mayo is flavorful and really good. I suggest getting it on the side so you can add as much or little or you like.
The Firebird. Asked for no cheese, also got no bacon, pickles, or fried onions. I ordered 5 things, 4 have been missing ingredients.
The Famous Smoked Wings w/ Mojo Sauce and Ranch
Best Bloody Mary I've had in Memphis in some time. I requested bacon and celery in mine.
Chicken tenders ( mojo sauce ) Sour EX - they name the drinks fun-kooky names
Came back for Tue special. This time the veggies are different than what is advertised and they forgot the gravy on my CFC.

The food was great considering it was a small bar and a random place I chose. I had burger and fries and wifey got wings. The staff has a great attitude and are cool folks to chat with. The establishment has live entertainment on Fridays I think which is a plus. Every day has a special it event going on also. Definitely going back...

I like this place. I really do. In a former life, I'd either be a regular or staff. It's a dive bar. A dive bar of dive bars, but it's a glossy, well-curated version of a dive bar dive bar.It's kitschy as all get out...welcome to the world of big rigs, tow trucks, and backroads travel. Part museum of the open road, part homage to the interior set designer of Roadhouse, bar and kitchen all in one, it's impressive. Ample patio space outside the fairly narrow confines of what's built atop the slab. And in a seedy (but oddly, it doesn't feel as dangerous as South Main or the Core/Beale- I guess because you don't expect bad there, but here amongst warehouses on Crump, there's a weird vibe of 'hey, this feels safeish!'). You kind of have to know it's there to find it.Had a late lunch; sat at the bar and the barkeep was very courteous. I get that navigating the food portion of the menu isn't always a drink pourer's purview, but I asked her to help with a rec between the Firebird and the (whatever the Philly is called). I had the Philly with a cup of chili.The chili was hearty, pretty good with a touch of cumin that was noticeable (?). The Philly was a Philly. The onions did a great job of playing their part, but nothing above-par-noteworthy about said sandwich. All told, I should have gone with the Firebird.This is a solid 3 star joint by my math. Nothing bad, nothing great. The thing that stands out is the decor; I imagine it's a helluva bar that also happens to have good food. Aldo's stuff, especially Bardog, elsewhere is more refined in the area of exceptionally executed bar food. And it's closer to work. Momma's falls in line with his other offerings, but there something slightly less awesome about it.

When you think of a dive bar, you envision this place. It's tucked away in an industrial area, filled with locals. Plenty of choices of ice cold beer. Judging by the assortment of trucks in the parking lot, this seems like the lunch of choice for area blue collar workers. Food is excellent! The Bubba Burger is a standard patty - lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and a slater of homemade mayo. Perfectly cooked medium, it's juicy and flavorful - and sloppy! Potato salad side was equally delicious; tasted homemade with the right ratio of potato, mayo and seasoning. This place is nothing fancy, and maybe a little intimidating from the outside, but inside it's good stick-to-you-ribs food and friendly service.

On a road trip, we searched for dog friendly places. This one has a great dog friendly outdoor, shaded patio. We had the roast pork chop and spicy chicken sandwich. Both were very good. The service was excellent. The menu is diverse and has something for everyone.

Food was excellent even without me caring for the sausage. Cooked excellently, just not my jam and my order got mixed up. No biggie because it was in the midst of a rush from sitting patrons and those looking to be seated. The bartenders here are nice, and knowledgeable and I've never had anything less than great service. I like the options on their menu as I'm almost always subbing some part of meal. So kudos to her! I went on a Saturday and they had live music and patio seating. It's a dive-ish bar, buy upscale level cleanliness. Lot and street parking is available! I'll be byke for my bacon and gravy lol

This is a good restaurant for the area that provides both residents and workers in the area a choice of a big food menu, nice drinks, and big patio. The inside is kinda tight and the bathrooms have interesting decor. I ordered the Big "M" because the bacon and bourbon onions fascinated me. However, it was just ok. The other menu items are interesting sounding too. I'll give it another shot.

Tucked back in an industrial part of town. Nice outdoor seating with Trivia going on. Food was okay and waiter was very nice. We were traveling with our dogs and the staff was very welcoming. Even after my dog got grumpy when startled by another dog entering... waiter calmly said accidents happen... it is okay. I appreciated his support and was disappointed in my dogs sudden reaction.
