Best Wings of Memphis
is a restaurant that is very
upfront about its strengths.
Sure, they have other stuff like
burgers and fried catfi sh, but
it was crowded with people
when I went for lunch. They
were all ordering wings.
These aren't the tiny, finger-
sized wings, either. It's the whole wing. They are served soaked in the
sauce of your choice-hot BBQ, hot honey, honey glaze, etc.-with a side
of ranch dressing, carrots, and celery. I myself had the honey glaze (I'm
weak when it comes to spicy foods), and they were delicious and messy.
The restaurant itself is not much of a restaurant. It is more like a
concession stand. There are a couple tables, but most people seemed to be
taking their food to go. The food is inexpensive and unassuming, delivered
to you in a Styrofoam box.
The point is, Best Wings of Memphis knows what it does well and
sticks to it. They have listed on the menu their party sized trays with anywhere
between 50 and 700 wings. This place is clearly a neighborhood favorite
(it is located on Summer next to the Subway and the Family Dollar),
and if you like wings, you are sure to enjoy.
