Customer Reviews
This is my first time coming here to eat. I came a little too late to try the buffet so I ordered 2 pcs white meat combo with all the sides. All I have to say is wow!!! Hands down best fried chicken I have ever ate. Please come try me support the new restaurant. The staff was extremely sweet and the owners are so nice. I highly recommend you to try it.
I showed up early on opening day. They didn't have all the items on the buffet just yet so I'll try to get updated later. Staff was great and the buffet he food looks amazing. Had a tender meal to go and it was delicious. Will definitely be back for the buffet!
We came here to pick up a 8-piece meal today and the chicken was fresh and so juicy! The chicken was well seasoned and the coleslaw and fresh rolls were delicious! The mashed potatoes were a little thin but still very tasty. My boyfriend’s only suggestion was if they could add a spicy chicken option, he would love that, but this place is way better than KFC! We knew the owners from Fray’s donuts on 49th, and they are so nice! We will come back for sure 👏
So, it was okay. Being that there are no fried chicken places around here (e.g. Church's, Popeyes, KFC, etc.), I was hoping into this place. The problem, lacked flavor. We had the regular and it was nice, crispy and not oily. Just not tasting anything flavorful. I am not expecting spicy (since I didn't get spicy) or anything like that (note, the red in the picture was me putting hot sauce on it), but some type of flavor. We had the mac-n-cheese and fries as our sides. The Mac, very bland. The fries, very good. We had a small bread pudding, that was also good. We are a family of 4, me, my wife and our 2 young boys. It was okay. I would come back to try the spicy a different day to give an updated review.
Delicious! Today was 2nd time there since they opened. Yeah don’t forget, they just opened. For anyone expecting a brand new, mom & pop quick service/buffet restaurant to open their doors and be a well oiled machine, good luck. These guys are figuring it out.. but in my opinion, it’s working. The place was pretty busy for a Tuesday lunch crowd. About 2/3 of the seats were full and the drive thru had a line. There were a lot of smiles in the dining room. It was a mixed crowd of construction & landscape workers, as well as retirees. The food was excellent on both trips. So far I’ve tried: Regular and spicy fried chicken - it was crispy and flavorful Chicken tenders - better than Publix and Cane’s 😳 Mashed potatoes and brown gravy - 👌🏽 Mac n cheese - kinda tasted like Kraft, but that stuff
