“Visited the franchise location in downtown Austin, TX in November 2023 and the Marietta location in Georgia during the summer of 2023.After I read the story, I needed to visit the original location! As a culinary journalist, these are my favorite types of restaurants to document, I love a mom and pop generational establishment.It was a pleasure to meet the granddaughter of the original owners, Gus and Gertrude. She was pleasant and helpful in picking the perfect meal for our family.We went with the 8pc family meal - came with 2 breast, 2 wings. 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks with baked beans, cole slaw and fried green tomatoes.She forewarned us that the flavors are not the same as the franchise flavors. I was a bit scared as I highly enjoyed what I had in Austin. It was such a happy surprise that the chicken here was even better! The skin is much spicier, and the meat was just as juicy.The cole slaw was my favorite side, with the baked beans following and the fried green tomatoes coming in 3rd place.If you enjoy fried chicken, I would definitely recommend a stop at this tried and true TN state staple! Worth the drive and 20min + wait for this legendary chicken!”
“After moving away five years ago, we were excited to stop by Crave Sweets when we were driving through Arlington and it was just as delightful as we remembered! Delicious cookies and treats. Friendly people too. Give this lovely place a try!”
“We love Sling Shot Charlie’s! So DELICIOUS!! I had the catfish fillet, purple hull peas, and onion rings. The onion rings? Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness! Purple hull peas? Just like my grandmother’s! Yummy! Catfish fillet? Perfection! Only thing I didn’t care for were the hush puppies. They just didn’t have any flavor. They were big and well cooked. Others in our group had the pork tenderloin and said it was tender, juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The Mac and cheese were very cheesy too. (My BIL and SIL loved them.)Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids and kid friendly menu items.”
“My wife and I had been in Memphis for a long weekend with family. And we were heading back to Michigan on Wednesday and stopped there for a coffee and a sandwich to go. We both had a cappuccino which was delicious. My wife ordered a burrito and I ordered the sausage egg and cheese on croissant. The burrito was so big and delicious that we both shared it and brought the croissant home and I just ate it for dinner on Thursday and it heated up beautifully and was very delicious.Great staff and great atmosphere.”
“EVERYTHING made here is amazing! I love the Amish white and cinnamon bread. The danish are always sooo good. Cannolis are to die for…: the pb cream horns! Big Debras! You can’t go wrong with anything from bad boy!”
“Sandwiches are great. Service was great very clean. Just thought the meat was a little high but you do pay for convenience and it is all quality products. I will definitely be back again for a great sandwich.”

“Fast service. The food is delicious and fresh. Did not have to wait a long time for it. The waitress was kind and made sure my cup was never empty. I recommend this place!”
“The cashier was incredibly friendly and attentive! I was the only customer there between the lunch and dinner rush, but everything was still fresh and made to order. I had wings with a delicious golden bbq sauce and the fried Oreos. They have generous portions, and the service was fast and friendly. I’m excited to go back and try a burger sometime!”
“We use this place all the time and have never had a bad dish! The owners and their staff are awesome, friendly and always professional… The food is authentic and on point!”

“This is the best restaurant in the entire world. You can’t order bad food here. Everything is good. The price isn’t bad for the amount of food you get. Truly a gem and my FAVORITE food in all of Memphis, which is already an amazing food city! I will always love Mezcal! ?”
“Absolutely great food, servers were attentive at removing plates and filling drinks but otherwise kept distance and were quick to respond if needed. Kitchen staff were very attentive to the buffet bars and had replacement trays up fast. I also appreciated their attention to limiting food waste by encouraging smaller portions and multiple visits to the buffet, as well as utilizing smaller food trays on the buffet. This resulted in the food being fresher and tasting better than all other buffet restaurants. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Panda China in Arlington, always fresh with consistent quality and they are fast. 5 stars for this well run, quick Chinese restaurant that is a very good take out option for Arlington.”
“Waitress and owner waited on is and kept checking on whether we were fine and was all okay and were we satisfied.Vegetarian options: Numerous options to serve all person's satisfaction.Parking: Has some set up for the hand I capped folks.”
“Arlington you've got a great crew. A car hop waitress Actually on skates! Talented! I finally made it there for corndog special. Hey Texas state fair has fair food contests. If you can cook it on a stick, you win first place! Corndog on a stick is good once in a great while. Yes, great while, don't tell my heart doctor.”
“1st visit & it was great! Pizza (deluxe) tasted incredible. Sweet tea was spot on for a southern place. The cheesecake was soooo good!! Sadly, we missed out on the pepper jack cheese bites on the appetizer menu. They are a popular item.”
“I guess it is the wave of the future. No one takes your order. You have to use the app on your phone or the standing stations. Did not make getting my food any faster.”
“Great customer service. New manager is friendly and you can tell he wants his customers happy. Had a delicious salad with a ton of chicken! I’ve had two this week and it’s been very consistent. Sandwiches have also had good amounts of meats and toppings which it seemed they used to skimp on ? Very pleased with this location! ?”
“Traveling back home and stopped here. Great food, great service and it was nice and quiet, which we like. Thank you for the good food. I definitely recommend this place.”
“My wife hates Waffle House because it's usually so dirty behind the counter, so I've actually never been to a waffle house with her in the 10 years we've been married. We just moved to the area and she saw this one while browsing the Internet for breakfast places and she was impressed with how nice it looked from the outside rather than looking like the generic waffle house in a 50 year old building. So we went and she was impressed with the cleanliness of this establishment and the customer service was great.”
