    The fried chicken with the Sweet Spicy Love sauce was the best! The corruption carrots were delicious. Will go out of my way when in Memphis to go to Uncle Lou's.

    Gotta have the fried bologna or the home style chicken. Make sure to get a side of the fried pickles!

    Much different than Gus's fried chicken definitely as good, maybe better. Great place! Go for the sweet spicy goodness!

    Amazing fried chicken. Get there early gets crowded. Anything on the menu is good and take some sauce or rub to go. It's that good.

    If you're going for lunch, get there early, because this place gets PACKED. After you try the chicken — with a little Corruption — you'll see why Uncle Lou's has been featured on The Food Network. Read more

    Uncle Lou's was featured on Food Network as a must-eat place in Memphis, so it's always packed. Call ahead with your order & get a bottle of sauce to take home.

    Definitely get the chicken with the amazing sweet spicy love sauce. You won't regret it. Fried okra and Cool-Aid for the trifecta of deliciousness!

    Everyone knows about the chicken and the burgers, but you owe it to yourself to get the banana pudding. Make sure you have slow afternoon at work, because you won't be able to do anything else.
