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.

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

Every thing is amazing but be sure to try the corrupted carrots

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.

What to say about that place! It seems so old but the food is great! Everything fried! Chicken heaven.

Nash Pleasant

Great fried chicken in its own right with a saucy twist, but still prefer Gus’s

ᴡ Terrell

Get a Jumbo burger & let them dress it- when they ask what you want on it, say "EVERYTHING." you can take off stuff after you've tasted it the way Lou wanted it in the first place. For your side? C Read more

Hot chicken , carrots , pickles , & biscuits ... better come with an appetite!

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.
