My son and I took a Saturday drive to visit some unique places in West TN...Loretta Lynn's ranch near Waverly, Alex Haley's home in Henning, The Mindfield in Brownsville (sadly not enough time for the Tina Turner Museum there as well:)! We drove to Ripley specifically to eat at Fish's Wing Shack! It was amazing!
First of all, the Shack is filled with memorable signs with saying, quotes and Bible verses--one-of-a-kind decor!
Second, the food was outstanding! We had the fried catfish (fresh, moist, great seasoned crust), fries and hushpuppies with corn in them, and of course the world famous coleslaw (with a sweet poppyseed dressing not mayo). My son also added an order of the honey habanero wings and they were juicy and spicy and absolutely delicious. Hats off to the cook whose name I can't remember...WONDERFUL food! Made fresh while you wait!
Finally, in today's lack of service culture, Wayne, our host, was a shining star ! He was courteous and friendly, helpful, spot on in his recommendations, and made us laugh and smile and share stories as he did with us! I can think of many places in cities with good food and much higher prices:) that could take a page from Wayne. He enjoys people, has a heart of service and blesses everyone who comes in with personal attention and focus. He is curious, enjoys learning about other places and foods ... but it is the way he made us feel like honored guests in perhaps the 10-15 min we spent with him that knocked our socks off.
We just wish Fish's Wing Shack were less than a 3 hr drive away as we would return often (if only to try the authentic Italian Beef and Philly sandwiches on the menu which lure hungry northerners off the beaten path!). Highly, highly recommend!
Very clean,fast service, good food!
The food was hot and the prices and people great
Wings were on point. Had the Honey Gold sauce... would for sure go there again.
If could give more starts we would bc OMG that was the best catfish I've ever had!! Besides being great food the prices are awesome too, where else can 2 adults eat for under $20? Already making plans to return and get stuffed again!
That definitely has to be the best fish I've tasted in years! Wings were cooked to perfection! I've been missing out! I urge you to try it. Clean, friendly environment
