Absolutely Delicious! A Hidden Gem! Chicken Bucket blew me away! This is our 2nd time here and it didn't disappoint! The portions are huge, the fried chicken is cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside—and the sides taste just like true Southern comfort food. The mac & cheese was creamy and rich, the fried okra was seasoned just right, and those soft dinner rolls were the perfect finishing touch. We ordered one of the chicken plates and were honestly shocked at how much food we got for the price. Everything came out hot and fresh.

First time trying out this restaurant. Food was reasonably priced and very tasty. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. They even have outdoor seating. Will definitely be back.

On 12/11/25, I ordered a smothered pork chop dinner. The pork chops were extremely tough—I couldn’t even bite into them. I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the owner, but the person who ans

I love the food! This is the first time I’ve had some really good catfish and didn’t have to pay $30 for it and the portion size is wonderful. The fried wings were fried to perfection and seasoned. It’s like a little jewel in a neighborhood. I drove 25 minutes to try them out and it was worth every minute I like that it is a family owned restaurant versus a chain
