Humdingers

Went here for lunch — it’s a nice place and the food is good. I screwed up and got the chicken philly … The Humdinger approach to cooking it with lemon & herb sauce gave it a different taste and it was kind of greasy — also had a bit of seasoning that was overpowering. Got the sweet potato slices as a side — very tasty. My friend got the chicken taco and sweet potato fries and was satisfied.

Upscale-​looking kind of place with very healthy choices and quality food.
I was craving seafood and visited during lunch, and I didn’t regret it. The seared salmon was great, and the sides were tasty and not particularly calorie. The concept is nice. I would come more often if the price was less prohibitive, but you should try it out if you haven’t.

Got the salmon with zucchini and it was awesome. The rice that comes with it is great. The bread sticks are really good too. Hubs LOVES the shrimp and grits. Excited to go again and try more stuff. …also I’ve been to the other humdingers location and it was empty and I got the chicken sandwich and hubs got the shrimp and grits and neither were good so I’d recommend going to this location!

Today was my first time at Humdingers after months of hearing my boyfriend talk about how great it is, and I was not disappointed!
We went in for lunch around 11:45 and there was no line (although apparently we got there right on time– it filled up quickly!) I don’t even think it took 10 minutes to get our food out to us, and all of the staff was very friendly.
My ONLY complaint was that my plate was too small for the MASSIVE salad that I ordered and I ended up making a mess. But that is clearly not even a semi serious problem. If anything having a salad too big for the plate is a plus!
I would recommend Humdingers to anyone and you can bet I will be back in for lunch again sometime soon (:

What a surprise to find such a gem. I ordered mahi mahi with pineapple salsa topping and grilled asparagus. Everything was quite tasty and I’m hard pressed to say what I’d do differently except I wish the pineapple in the salsa had been diced more finely so that I could have enjoyed it with more fish bites. As well, the woody, inedible stems of the asparagus could have been trimmed down. Then again they wouldn’t have been as pretty!

Even after all of the good reviews, I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I got the salmon with grilled asparagus and then also sides of the seasoned fries and brussel sprouts. The food was quick to be brought to the table, flavored very well and hot. It was a wide range of clientele in there. The real only downside is it was really loud in there. I’d planned to go in and make some customer calls at lunch, that just wasn’t doable. But the food was really very good and the staff were all very pleasant and attentive. I’d go again next time I’m in town.

This place was great! Very very good food! Also had pretty nice service and was clean, too. Excellent all around. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

I’ve eaten Humdingers when it was catered for work a few times and it has always been good. I like that the fish options are not fried and that you can have grilled veggies as a side.
I went to the restaurant for lunch on a Tuesday and it was packed. Our food came out in a timely manner. I got the fish tacos and grilled sweet potatoes. Both were excellent. Next time I think I’ll get just fish instead of tacos (less carbs!)
The only negatives were: 1. It was really warm in the restaurant that day but the temperature outside was almost 100; 2. The water had a weird aftertaste.

I work nearby and this place is one of the lunch spots I frequent. It’s fast, the prices are reasonable and the staff is always nice and accommodating. My go-​to orders are the two taco combo and the blackened salmon. I’ve yet to have a bad experience here.

I tried the Cordova location with a friend and I thought it was really good. So me and my husband were in the area and we came across this location in Poplar. Lets just say we aren’t fish people, however my husband thinks its important to incorporate it into our diet lol As we walked in the staff was very welcoming and helpful. I ordered the blackened tilapia again because its just so good. For topping, I picked black bean & corn salsa, for sides sweet potato fries and asparagus. My husband ordered the mahi mahi with pineapple salsa, rice and seasoned fries. I enjoyed my meal but the sweet potato fries were just too salty :(However, my tilapia and asparagus were cooked well and tasted great. My husband really liked his mahi mahi, rice and seasoned fries. I tried his seasoned fries and they were so good, I ended up eating most of them lol All in all I really like Humdingers. However, since I’ve been to both places, I prefer the Cordova location because they have outside seating.

Fresh, fun, and fast. It’s a great place to sit down and eat without having to wait forever on your food. I love that the kitchen has only a glass between it and the restaurant… you can actually see what they are doing and know that your food is fresh! I love the lemon sauce that they offer… You can only find it here and it tastes good on everything. It’s a great place to go with your family! Love this place.

Healthy fish is pretty easy to find, but a place that makes it fast and with healthy sides too?! I love it!! i asked for mine to be made without butter and light on the oil and they did a great job. The fish and sides were seasoned perfectly, just a hint of spice. I wish I would have taken a picture but I was too hungry! Lots of choices of fish, salads, sides and they have chicken too!

What a pleasant surprise! I was in the area looking for something different, so I decided to give this place a try; it did not disappoint. I got the shrimp appetizer, which was very flavorful (think Bonefish’s Bang Bang Shrimp). I then got the Mahi Mahi with pineapple salsa, yellow rice, and grilled sweet potatoes. Everything was fresh and fantastic; actually, it was a little spicy which is fine by me, but fair warning to those who can’t handle spicy.
Other than the taste of the food, a couple of things really make this place stand out. For one, you order and pay for your food at the counter, and they bring it out to you. For the quality and variety of food, this was unique in a good way; it also sped things up quite a bit. Secondly, variety. This place is not just ‘fish and chips,’ nor is it only fish. They have several fish plates (mostly grilled) with healthy sides other than fries. They also have sandwiches such as the Chicken Philly.
Note: they also offer call-​ahead takeout, as well as wine and beer.
Good job, Humdinger’s; I’ll definitely be back!

So one day the line at Chik-​Fil-​A was wrapped around the building and I wasn’t in the mood to wait. So I decided to try Humdingers instead.
Well, turns out they are muuuuch slower than Chik-​Fil-​A but you get to hang out in a pleasant enough atmosphere so it’s OK. Next time maybe I’ll think to call in my order.
I got three chicken tenders with grilled zuchinni and it was awesome! I can’t remember what sauce I got. I guess it was Piri Piri. I found the sauce selection process a little confusing and annoying. I really don’t want a bunch of options. Just make it. Don’t ask me a bunch of questions. Just do it the way a panel of experts determined it tastes best. Don’t make me decide. I’ll muck it up. Luckily, I made a good decision. Hopefully, I’ll make the same choice next time.

I had the Shrimp Po Boy with Seasoned Fries. The toasted bun slapped with aioli, sliced tomatoes, a bed of purple cabbge slaw, all topped with deliciously fried shrimp was heaven in my mouth! If the sandwich wasn’t enough there are piri piri sauces that you can lay on it for even more flavor. They have three kinds: lemon herb, medium, and hot. The lemon herb was like a thick vinaigrette and the medium and hot piri piri were unlike any hit sauces I’ve had before. Not only were they full of flavor, but they had just enough heat which didn’t hinder the taste. The seasoned fries were also good, the seasoning on them was unlike anything I’ve had before, but the only thing that I didn’t like about them was that it was a tad bit salty for my palette. Despite that, I’d come back here and give their other food a try.

Humdingers Shrimp is pretty dang tasty. It’s a milder version of Shrimp appetizer I’ve seen many times before at quite a few places. Very good though.
I have been here several times and the fish is usually pretty good. The sauces that they offer are pretty unique for a fast casual place. I like the Medium Piri Piri sauce on just about everything. The grilled asparagus is very good, in fact, all of the grilled sides are good.
Stay away from Swai and Tilapia as they are nasty fish!

I’ve eaten here before, but forgot to give it a review. A little unique for fish and chicken, but very good. Fish is grilled and you can watch them cook it. Had the Humdingers shrimp, very tasty, has a bit of a kick but very good.
You order and then sit and your food is brought out to you. They have several different sauces at the table to try. Definitely would recommend to anyone wondering whether it’s worth it or not. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Went again today and took my family. Ordered the wasabi tuna salad, it was pretty good although pricy for a salad (10.99). My daughter had the fish and chips — she said the rice seemed bland, the fish was good, and the fries were a little salty. We also had he hummdingers shrimp which were good as usual, and the zucchini which is seasoned nicely and grilled.
Good service and a clean location. It was a little chilly in the restaurant.

How can you not love this place. This restaurant is a seafood and fish-lover’s dream. Talapia, salmon, amberjack, swai, mahi mahi, ahi tuna, shrimp, calamari, crawfish, crab cakes, calm chowder and the list goes on and on. Wheeewww I’m getting hungry again just thinking about all of the options that I have here at Humdingers.
When I visited yesterday, I had my usual. I absolutely love the salmon fish topped with crawfish with rice and asparagus. The grilled asparagus is amazing. I can eat their asparagus everyday of the week. What I really enjoy about their entrees are that they are not oily or greasy. They are cooked perfectly and taste excellent.
For dessert, I recommend the orea cream cake. It is awesome. I’ve had it at least 5 times and every time I have it I’m thoroughly satisfied. The service here is fantastic. 5-​stars for Humdingers.

Stopped by on my way out of town and enjoyed my lunch here.
You walk up, order, sit down and your order is brought to you. The calamari appetizer was crispy, tasty and fresh.
There is a good selection of fish or chicken grilled and served with various seasonings and toppings. My Swai (first time eating this) tasted good! They are known for their piri-​piri chicken, where piri-​piri is basically an african pepper that is the base of the sauces used here.
Everything is fresh about this place and I just found out one is opening near Nashville so I will be making plans to go there soon to try some of that chicken.
