Adline Hot Wings Express

During my first «official» visit. I got the Wednesday lunch special that consisted of five whole wings, fries and a 20 oz. drink. When I asked for a mix of hot and Honey Gold wings, I was told that I was limited to one flavor. That surprised me, for I never had a problem of getting that request fulfilled at other places. I ended up ordering the Honey Gold, which are my favorite.
The Honey Gold wings are smothered in a tangy mix of honey mustard and hot wing sauce. The end result is a very good sauce that makes the Honey Gold wings the best that I’ve had so far.
For my second visit, I decided to try the hot wings. Before I go on, I want to say that I’m not a hot wings expert. For me, most hot wings taste the same, regardless of whether it comes from a dingy place in South Memphis (All About Dem Wangs), a popular bar like Slider Inn (who just hired one of my favorite Flying Saucer Girls, Kyla) to a well-​known wing joint like Ching’s. It seems that most places marinate its hot wings in either Frank’s RedHot Sauce, Louisiana Hot Sauce or similar Cayenne pepper sauces. With the exception of a few places, most wing joints don’t think «outside the box.» I’m sure wing experts like Kevin of the blog Burn My Mouth will think I’m stupid (which is a predisposed notion of some of my «fans»), but I can’t tell the difference in hot wings from most places. Adline’s is no exception, for the hot wings (other than being crisper than average) tastes the same as most places that I’ve been to. That said, I will say that the wings are good, yet not worth making a special trip for them. I can get the same thing at most places, including my beloved Flying Saucer.
I got my hot wings as a three-​wing combo with «regular» fries and a Cherry Coke. The fries, while somewhat crispy, were unimpressive. Without seasoning that I had on my first visit, the fries didn’t taste any different from what could be found in the frozen food section of most grocery stores. With the fries not seasoned, they lacked pizzazz. If I order them again, I will sprinkle salt on them to liven things up. Also, dipping the fries in ranch dressing makes for a very tasty side dish.
When I initially ordered my hot wings, I phoned it in with the intention of getting it «to go.» I was about ten minutes away from Adline’s when I placed the order, and it was ready when I got there. This was well within the fifteen minutes that Adline’s promised. So again, contrary to the reviews I’ve read, my order came about in a timely manner. Therefore, I believe that Adline’s doesn’t have a problem in getting out orders. If there were problems in the past, Adline’s must have fixed them.
In summing it up, I was really impressed by Adline’s Honey Gold wings. Even though my experience is limited, I really liked Adline’s version of them. Until I can try Honey Gold wings at other places, I will hold off in calling Adine’s the best. When I go there again, I want to try some the wing joint’s seafood which I’ve heard is good. I may never become a «hot wings» expert, but I believe that Adline’s is as good as some of the so-​called best wing joints in town. If you’re in Frayser, stop over at Adline’s for lunch or dinner. If you do, you won’t be disappointed.

We (son, daughter-​in law, dog and I) were driving (moving) to Nashville from San Diego! We pulled off the interstate in Memphis to get some bottled water and happened to park outside a very tempting place to visit! My son went in to ADLINES & came out with 3 containers of 3 different styles of absolutely AWESOME chicken wings!!! WOW! They were SOOO good! Now we are wishing that Adline would come to Nashville! Please visit Adline if you are in the area!

I was really looking forward to this visit based on previous chicken wings satisfaction experience. Well this time I did get that lovin feelin, the prices have increased, the meat was cool and rubbery. I went as far to put it in the oven when I got home and that did not make it better.
I choose a ten piece, half hot and half seasoned. The seasoned had barely any spices and the hot just tasted like hot sauce. Soooo disappointed. Gotta find a new wing-man…LOL

these are the best Hotwings everrrrrrrrrr!!! go get you some!!! NOW !!! GO!!!

Adlines has the best wings in Memphis! I love the honey hot wings and another secret is there CATFISH. I tried it with my great grandma after church one day and it was really good. Now me and my mom make it there almost every Friday. I would comment on their customer service but i’ve never been to a wing spot with good customer service lol
oh and sometimes they have fried green tomatoes

Max the ice machine is fixed.
I visited this restaurant tonight because my sister said that it was good. However, I love good food but I love good customer service better. I went today and the young lady who was working was acting like she could barely talk. No smile, no greeting, nada. I’m the type of person that will visit a restaurant again because of the customer service even if the food is not the best or maybe sub par.
I ordered a 10 piece, half season & half hot. They were okay. Not anything I will yell at the top of a mountain about telling everyone they must go. However, I probably won’t go back because the customer service was not to my liking.
As my grandma say, «It don’t cost nothing to speak!»
Oh I almost forgot, the lemonade was great! I wish I could have taken the entire jug home but they really need to work on the customer service.

Adlines is one of the best Hot Wing Restaurants in Memphis. This is my go to spot for Wings and should be part of your food rotation also when you’re in the mood for wings.
My other favorite wing spot is Hot Wing Express on Shelby Drive. But, Adlines is #1.
Here are the positives about Adlines
* The Seasoned & Honey Gold Wings are to die for! Especially, when they are HOT.
* I like that they fixed this place up and invested some money into the décor which was lacking previously. The restaurant looks nice now and is inviting if you want to enjoy your wings at the restaurant. My wife and I enjoyed watching a Beyonce concert on their flatscreen while chomping down on some good hot wings.
The Bad
* It takes awhile to get your wings at Adlines, but the wait is worth it since the wings are sooo good.
* They really need to get their ice machine fixed. July has been really hot now in the city and with August approaching their is no excuse for the ice machine to be broken. To be fair when mentioned to management they didn;t say much, but they had someone run to the nearby Shell and by ice so I could have some for my drink. But, hopefully they get this fixed soon.
