Whooo wee!!! Where do I start?! I'll start with the presentation because these wings not only delivered on taste, the presentation was spot on as well not only for the wings but also for the establishment.
So I ordered for three people, my 2 daughters and myself. We had just gotten finished with a couple games of bowling and the champ was going so hard I worked up a serioius appetite. Winning burns thousands of calories, ya know. I mean it was so bad my girls had to gang up on me to try and keep me off the lanes. I felt like KeyGlock out there cause daddy was throwing Strike after Strike after Strike...that's a lil Memphis reference if you're not from here. I've digressed. Back to these wings.
The location itself is a little complicated to get to if you're coming from Cordova, as we were. You borderline have to break some traffic laws to get to the place. WELL worth if though, in my very humble opinion. The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and wasn't very crowded, though it was near closing when we arrived. Nevertheless, my stomach immediately began growling upon entrance. Green flag #2. The young lady behind the counter grabbed my order, I placed an online order, and proceeded to show me the wings. My daughters each got a 10 pc boneless, one lemon pepper hot and the other mild hot. My daughters wings came out hot and dripping wet with the sauce. It's nice having that extra sauce to dip the fries and bread in!!! I'm trying to tell you!! Green flags #3 and #4, because my girls KILT and left no crumbs or sauce lmao and they are VERY picky when it comes to their food.
Now I ordered a 20 pc whole wing. Suicide and sweet lemon pepper hot. Now my stomach was already growling when I walked in but when the young lady presented my wings and that sauce scent hit my nose...now my mouth began to water. No Diddy. There is no better feeling than when you get that first smell and the sauce so bussin' it makes your nose tingle. YESSUH!!! Now I don't allow people to eat in my vehicle, not even myself. So imagine how hard it was to drive another 15 mins smelling ALL this good food knowing that while sitting at each red light I could easily demolish 2 wings tip included. Yes...I can. Certified Wingologist right here. Ask my friends, family, and coworkers. I managed to wait until we made it home though.
Once we got settled and started eating, my girls did not make ONE SINGLE SOUND. Listen, I have 2 pre-teen girls that love to talk. There was no chatter during this time...none. Only thing you could hear during this time was my younger daughter smacking!! Should have recorded them but it slipped my mind. After eating, my girls immediately got ready for bed and it was curtains from there. I mean Knocked TF OUT!!! Okay!! No threats, no TV, no cellphones/tablet...OUT got dammit!! That's how I know they ate good and got full.
But wait...what about the whole wings? I'm glad you asked. One word...FIE 🔥🔥!! The suicide was so good I couldn't bring my head up to breathe. I'm talm bout eyes watering, nose running, fingers COVERED in sauce and I'm still going. Sniffing like a mother...didn't care. I understood right then why my girls didn't make a sound while they were eating.
Think I'm playing!! You need to go see for yourself. Crazy Coop is where it's at ALTHOUGH they are a tad on the high side. Well worth it if you would have seen how my girls looked like lions ingurgitating their boneless wings. They have my Wingologist stamp of approval and I will definitely be back. Oh fasho!! Now I just have to decide if i'm going to try the other flavors or stick to the ones that got me hooked. That'll be another review for...
Read moreMy wife and I just finished eating at Crazy Coop. We were so excited after reading the reviews. We drove about 30 minutes actually even passed up Wingstop one of our favorite wings spot. Despite the positive reviews it was empty. The wall to the right was beautifully done. It was a mural painted with some of the highlights of Memphis. We were greeted upon entrance which was nice. We shared it was our first time and we drove 30mins because of all the good reviews. They welcomed us again and told us they were glad we came. (Probably not after this review) That is where it pretty much ended. The prices are ridiculous. 5 whole wings for $13.99. We wanted fries and a drink so that was another $4.29. The wings were averaged sized and the seasoning was a touch above average. However, they weren’t anything special. A couple pieces of chicken were overcooked. The fries were horrible. You could tell we got the end of the bag. A bunch of little pieces. I had the Bourban bacon burger. It was $13.25 by itself. The burger was drenched in the sauce and it dominated any other flavor. I don’t remember tasting the bacon. The worst part of this experience, the lady who appeared to be the owner or at least the HBIC, couldn’t wait to ask us how it was. After I gave her my honest feed back all she said was oh, sorry. She didn’t try to make anything right she didn’t even ask if there was a way to make it right. Usually when an establishment finds out it’s your first time there they put their best foot forward. Their slogan is you would be crazy to not stop in the coop I say you are crazy if you go back!!! Save your money, time and gas. It definitely is not worth it. There are other Wing spots and burger joints more affordable, and better flavor or at least...
Read moreI’m a Food Critic/Business Reviewer from Texas. I currently stay in Memphis. Wings are everywhere in Memphis and surrounding areas, we all know that. But The Crazy Coop is more than wings, and they also have the best wings I’ve ever eaten. Perfectly cooked. I ordered Fish, Sour Cream & Onion Wings, Garlic Parm Fries, and a Jerk Tender. When I say those wings are by far the best tasting wings I’ve ever had!!! Please believe me!!! Even if you don’t like that flavor, you will on these wings the way they season it! The fries were also the best best I’ve ever had!! The seasoning on the fries were magnificent!! The crisp on them were perfect and was still soft on the inside and a nice size crinkle fry. The seasonings on the fish was crazy good and also seasoned perfect, I grew up fishing and frying fish. That fish was so good it brought me back to childhood!! Y’all doing y’all thang at The Crazy Coop. I’m sure every location is the same. And I want to say last but most definitely not least. The service was emaculate, Couldn’t possibly be any better!! They were nice informative funny and happy. Ambria’s knowledge of the menu helped me decide my order giving me ideas. Jacoby was new but he was trying to help as well and they both was super cool and nice. And they helped me have one of the best experiences eating food in Tennessee....
