Bonehead's Piri Piri Chicken & Grilled Fish

Midtown is especially lucky to have Kwik Chek and Memphis' primo deli, Fino's within an easy walk of each other on Madison Ave. So sandwich at one and walk to the other for dessert. And Camy's is in between... Fast food paradise in just a couple of blocks.

We Midtowners are lucky to have 2 5-star delis within 4 blocks of each other on Madison. I have already reviewed Fino's (5 stars), but Kwik Chek is another tradition. Best muffalettas anywhere; just reading the descriptions of the sandwiches will make you salivate. The Veggie Delight is to die for too, but you could pick anything from the sandwich menu without regret.
Additionally Kwik Chek has a short menu of Korean and Greek dishes, including bi bim bop and mouska.
Decoration is sparse (this is still a 7-11 type operation, with large beer and drink coolers and cigarettes for sale). Order to go at the counter, or eat in.
I chose the Chicken Gyro. The sandwich was fairly hefty, but typical Gyro fare, and at a higher price than other Midtown Delis. The chicken was on the dry side. The counter staff was not very friendly.
I am giving Petra 3 stars based mostly on the menu. Another experience like today's will certainly lower the rating, but a good experience next time could possibly bring a higher rating.
In the meantime, i will enjoy the better value and always consistent goodness of my 2 favorite Midtown delis, Finos and Kwik Chek (both on Madison)

Dr. Edwards is a great dentist. He has an east Memphis location, but his Midtown office is right in my neighborhood.
I have found that most folks remain loyal to their dentists if they have a good experience. I have had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Edwards, and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a dentist.

This is a real Bar-B-Que joint. Simple menu, no frills, just the best chopped pork sandwich in the world. On a busy day the tap of the cleaver nevers stops chopping hickory smoked pork shoulders to build the basis of the sandwich, which is topped with indescribable mustard slaw and sauce to kill for. Flo Payne does the chopping and runs the place with the help of her son and daughter.
Payne's is not the most consistent place in town, but it's always good. Other favorite menu items: Smoked Sausage (deep fried Polish Sausage, served with slaw and sauce); the Hot Dog (plump hot dog - smaller version, and Bologna, hickory smoked, with slaw and sauce on white bread. I seldom get ribs here. I don't think of Payne's as a rib place.
This is not your suburban chain Bar-B-Que place. It's inner-city, but safe. If you come for lunch, you may run into me. I am the Duke, and I eat here more frequently than any other place in town.

Payne's defines Memphis Barbecue. I have been a customer for 30 years, and the restaurant is top of mind whenever barbecue is mentioned. The no-frills format features a simple menu of ribs, chopped and pulled pork sandwiches, smoked sausage, hot dogs, and bologna. Top that off with sinfully delicious homemade fried pies, and it is the perfect Memphis funky eating experience.
Never mind the no frills, converted service station atmosphere, or that usually no more that one table does not rock uncontrollably, this is the best pit pork in the world - the STANDARD by which all others are measured.
Did I mention the incredible mustard based slaw and sauce? Check this place out. I bring all my out of town customers here for "real" barbecue. I am in at least once a week. I will see you there.

I love Memphis, and I would love to help you find a great home here. I specialize in Downtown, historic Midtown, and East Memphis. You won't find me in the suburbs much, but I will be glad to help you find experts in the areas I don't cover. If you are considering selling your Memphis home, I can help there too.
I have lived in Memphis most of my life, and still find time to explore the nooks and crannies. I review some of the most interesting here on Yelp.

Bonehead has some of its roots in Africa which is where the piri piri (a wild pepper) comes from. I am not a huge fan of chain-type restaurants, but this place has a good feel, and lots of potential. I will be back to try more menu items.
