This place is such a hays gem. Idk why it doesn’t have more customers lined out the door. Best chicken in town. I went during lush hour on a nice Sunday, was pretty full. All tables were full and Togo orders were going crazy as well. Only 2 people working behind the bar, but I ordered and within 5 minutes my food was out. I got the Peckin chicken roll with no pickles and I was mindblown on how good it was. Definitely going to be my newest addiction. Fries were great too and the housemade ranch is a chefs kiss! Great tasty food for great prices! If you’re craving a quick chicken dinner, definitely go here! You won’t be disappointed.

Incredible Flavor & Great Vibes! Pecking Order blew me away! I ordered the chicken sandwich and waffle fries with syrup — easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy, and flavorful without being greasy. The waffle fries were hot and crunchy, and dipping them in syrup? Absolute game-changer. Staff was friendly, food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're craving comfort food with a fun twist, this place should be at the top of your list.

Really solid chicken. In a time when fried chicken places are a dime a dozen, this place stands out with fresh meat that is seasoned and fried exceptionally well with awesome flavor. Their house sauce is solid as well. Not a ton of seating so it is more of a grab and go place, but a few places to sit down. Also, they might need two people to run it going forward. The one poor fella that was running it was taking orders, cooking, and doing everything in-between, he did a great job though.

This may have been the best chicken sandwich I've had to date. I can't fathom why the place wasn't packed. If you're in Hays, do not sleep on this place. The fried chicken is perfectly cooked and wonderfully seasoned. I'm looking for excuses to get back to Hays just to have another one.

The food is awesome, crispy tender chicken cooked perfectly. The sandwiches are great! The wait time can be a little long as everything is cooked fresh but it’s worth the wait!
