We ordered the Carolina, Nashville, chicken tenders and waffle fries. The Nashville is probably my favorite because I like spicy and it hits the spot while cooling down with a ranch slaw. The Carolina is less spicy and has a sweet tangy flavor which was also very good. This place is small but don’t get deterred because the food is delicious. If you’re craving a really good fried chicken sandwich this is the place to go! They also gave us a token for 10% off next time we come. I will be saving that. Just go!

WOW! It’s nice to have a place to grab a quick bite that’s right in between my home and the office. I’ve been in three times and tried their three chicken sandwiches. Service was prompt- I was served in 5-8 minutes or less. Food quality was high. Sandwiches are a great size, were served HOT, and the sides were great. Flavor is absolutely there. My favorite so far is “The Nashville”. They warn you, it is spicy. I thought it was the perfect blend of flavor- hot, seasoned, and juicy. Second favorite was definitely “The Carolina”. The sauce was sweet, but not overwhelming- it complimented the seasoning well. Presentation was awesome. Can’t go wrong with the classic either. Simple sandwich and of course tasted great. Prices were appropriate for the portions. Staff was attentive. Owners seeme

Shit kinda slap. It was really hard to find a Nashville Hot sandwich in this area. The staff were very kind. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was unique. Will be coming again.

For this to be a chicken restaurant, the chicken was disgusting. I got The Nashville . The flavor was overpowering.The sauce is just a bunch of seasonings, so it's gritty and too strong. The chicken is awful. Biting through it, I had to keep checking if it was raw. It was like biting through a stack of rubber bands, then ripping it off the sandwhich with my teeth, because I couldn't bite all the way through it. I took 3 bites and threw the rest out. I can't understand why you'd sell this? There was so much seasoning, I couldn't taste anything else on the sandwhich, besides an old oil flavor. The Waffle Fries were horrible. No salt and they were tough...like stale tough? I had to rip them to bite through them, too. It's like they were reheated, but absolutely not fresh. The Sweet Corn Nugge

My wife and I ordered a lot of food to try this place out. The sandwiches were amazing, very crunchy and saucy. I got the Nashville while she got the Carolina. The spice on my sandwich was enjoyable while hers was delectably sweet. We also tried the wings because it's a chicken place but they were just standard wings you can get from a pizza restaurant. They were a bit over cooked and hard to eat because of how chewy they were. I had the Carolina reaper and my wife got BBQ. The Carolina reaper sauce was left lacking it was spicy but not thick while the BBQ was divine. It was thick, savory, rich and very very flavorful overall. As for sides we got the jalapeno poppers and curly fries. We enjoyed both. The fries were well cooked and very crunchy just like they should be. In conclusion this p
