My First time here...Food Was Amazing and Fresh..Looks exactly like the pics Describe in other Reviews..Homefries,Mac & Cheese and wings are a Hit🔥🔥🔥🔥 Keep up the good work !!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Flintosh · May 2023

This place is unbelievable. Totally worth the ride from Raleigh. The wings were huge, juicy and perfectly cooked. Hot honey sauce was really good. Could've been a little hotter but still really tasty. The wings were lightly breaded and not greasy at all. Fried okra was fresh made and the collards were seasoned nicely. Leg and thigh combo was off the hook too. Perfectly cooked and the seasoning is great. Mashed potatoes are real and delicious. Fries are hand cut and fried to perfection. The rest of the menu looked great too. Staff were very friendly and so is the owner. Definitely worth your business. 6/28. Still awesome! Chicken is so damn good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nickie · May 2023

Surprise. Excellent first time experience. This place has the best fried chicken around. I got a two piece white meat chicken combo, with Mac and cheese. It was delicious, love the biscuit, French fries, sweet tea, everything was just absolutely perfect. Really good friendly service, they all work together to make it right.

Stopped by and ordered the Fried Chicken Gizzards platters, which comes with 2 sides. I chose collard greens and fries for the sides. The gizzard was really tasty and crispy. The collard green was also well seasoned. The fries was fresh but could be a little crispier in my opinion. Friendly staff. Quick service. Indoor and outdoor seatings available. Overall the food was delicious!

★★★★★ 5.0 Trevor Jordan · Apr 2024

Delicious! I unwittingly ordered a meal just before closing. The staff were still friendly and welcoming and the food and service were better than you'll get most places. The chicken was cooked fresh and everything was nice and hot, and very tasty at that. Definitely the best chicken in the area and has to be one of the best in the state.
