Hole in the wall place but great food, and friendly staff. Everything was good, went back to back days to eat here lol, guys at work loved it as well. Fanboy sandwich was amazing, but def try wings and the corn nuggets.

My husband and I stopped here during a recent visit. I had saw this restaurant on food network and it taste just as good as it looked on TV. The chicken and sides were great, fresh, and cooked to order. Will definitely visit again.

Went here on our way home. Uncle Lou's daughter was our server, truly a family owned business. Food was great, sweet and spicy sauce was the best. They served almost a jar of fried pickles sliced the long way, not in circles! Not to mention that "corruption" seasoning! Definitely will return on my next visit to Memphis.

Wow! We ate there tonight and I must honestly say that the food was unbelievable. I had 3 white pieces mild sauce and fries with a Side of fried pickles. Wow! Just when I thought I couldn't get any better then I tasted the honey dipped biscuits. Maybe the best thing I have ever had. Do not miss this place.... More

Heard about Uncle Lou's through several T.V shows and had to try it while in Memphis. Easy to find using GPS, Best Fried Chicken I've ever had, quick and friendly service. We ordered our wings (which were huge by the way)two ways, one natural(no sauce) the other with sweet spicy love sauce. After getting our order we quickly had the... More

While planning our trip to Memphis we happened to catch Uncle Lou's on DDD. We immediately looked up the address and added it to our list. It was very easy to locate and you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. My husband and I shared a 7 piece with a combination of homestyle and sweet, spicy love.... More

I have been here several times over the past couple of years and I have always enjoyed the chicken. Tonight, three friends and I drove to Uncle Lou's to have some of that sweet, spicy love dipped chicken. We were treated a little different this time than we were the last few times...the staff was VERY friendly, VERY helpful and... More

While planning a visit to Memphis, I had been told about Gus's, and read their reviews, but there were plenty of reviews about the long waits for a table and for food, so I looked to see what other fried chicken we might get, and I found Uncle Lou's. Turns out it's about a five minute drive from Graceland and... More

I found this little place through trip advisor being relatively close to Graceland for some authentic Memphis cooking. The restaurant is in a strip mall but I wasn't worried going in. I was greeted and given a menu. I didn't realize it but you definitely want your chicken dipped in a sauce. The mild was sweet and the hot was... More
