Uncle Lous Fried Chicken

Uncle Lou's Fried Chicken comes highly recommended by Guy Fieri, and we can see why! For only offering basically one sauce (Sweet Spicy Love), they've brought a refreshing taste to a batch of fried chicken, be it wings or tenderloins. We ordered our wings and tenders with the mild sauce, but added a side of hot sauce for comparison, and both were so good, with just enough kick without too much burn. Their honey butter biscuits are moist with a nice crusty top, and their mac and cheese as also a hit. This cozy little place was constantly churning with customers in the middle of the day. The staff is cool and accommodating with our requests. They also offer burgers and sandwiches, which we didn't get to try this time. Definitely a must try if you've never been here!

The ambiance and first impression is not very good. When you first arrive the parking situation is very tight with extremely limited parking. I don't mean any harm but this is a place I would not go to after the sun goes down.When you walk through the door you have to order at a Self-Order station which is truly frustrating.As a first and last time customer I refuse to utilize any self service kiosks. Come on restaurant owners Covid is not here anymore ‍.The food was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. The chicken was delicious; however the mac & cheese was just okay.The young lady at the cash register was extremely helpful and friendly also.

We attempted to order food from this location yesterday but they were temporarily closed. It would be nice for the business to update their page until they complete the move to the new location. We did not get a chance to order any food. We will return when they move. This is a great place for southern chicken.

Freshly fried hot hot chicken regular chicken and hot hot spicy chicken Friendly and swift Customer Service Busy day todayWhat you can't see is the yummy smell of seasoning on the fresh hot chicken wings yum yum That gourmet cookie looks delicious!!

Was passing through TN to NC and heard about this on a food network show. Was a little hard to locate since it blended with the other stores around. Walked in and was greeted by Kim a lovely lady that explained how to order on the kiosk. As it was my first time there and out of state she assisted with the whole process and was kind. She also recommended me a few options. I order the 4pc mixed fried chicken meal with hot spice level. The food was prepared fast and was delicious. The hot sauce added didn't take away from the crispness and juiciness of the chicken. The honey biscuit and Mac & cheese were also a great addition to the meal. Only wish it was just a little spicier and there was a bit more Mac & cheese. Overall though highly recommended and very fortunate to have Kim assisting in the front as it made me feel welcomed and eased my worry in ordering.

Very solid Southern fried and grilled chicken. Known for their spicy sweet sauce, kind of like a vinegary sweet chile sauce. Paired especially well with the fried tenderloins, which were beautifully moist and impossibly crispy. Grilled was very well prepared and moist as well. Great zippy creamy coleslaw and pretty good crispy fries. Would go back for sure

Great!! And tastes great too! Love the flavor and spice on the hot dipped chicken! Delicious!!

I've been here countless times over the years.A big mistake this time. I walked out with the food and drink on the table. One of my worst experiences at Uncle Lou's and last.

With all of my travels to Memphis I was happy to finally check out this much talked about spot. After all, it was featured on the popular Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Guy Fieri swore by the chicken so it must be good, right?Well I too concur!! The food is really good. Location....well, let's just say I'm going back, but in the daytime. Service, let's just say have some patience. So I ordered the hot 6-pc whole wings, okra, potato salad, honey biscuit, and sweet tea. All, and I do mean all of the food was fresh and delicious. The sweet spicy love hot sauce on the chicken was spicy, but not inedible. It has a balanced heat and vinegar flavor that compliments the wings. They also sell it bottled in a 16oz, 32oz, and gallon sizes. I purchased three 32oz along with the corruption seasoning to bring back to ATL and am glad I did. It makes all the difference on your chicken.

Flew into Memphis on our way to Oxford and needed to grab a quick bite and wanted something authentic. Uncle Lou's did not disappoint. Some of the best fried chicken that I've come across. The sweet heat sauce is a treat. The honey biscuit is tasty. Don't hesitate to give Uncle Lou's a try!
