★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Andy Kimm · Nov 2025

Extremely rubbery and chewy chicken like it had been re-dipped from earlier. Sauces were pretty good but they didn't give me enough. Ordered two sauces and I got one full sauce cup and the other one was about half full and did not have enough for my meal. In all $10 Way too much for five pieces of chicken that were more like chicken nuggets and they were rubbery and just not right. First time ever going & probably last.

Nice restaurant. Great atmosphere! Great decor! Lots of different rubs you can put on your chicken and sausage. You can dip it in. It's a must try if you haven't and it's really good.

Great Food & Fast Service! I had an amazing experience! The chicken sandwich was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. It was fresh, well-seasoned, and hit the spot. To top it off, the dessert was absolutely delicious—rich, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was quick and friendly, making the entire visit even better. Definitely coming back for more!

Its fried chicken 🍗...what else is there to be said? Ok let's see, it was fresh, French fries were terrific, the bread is a nice touch. The chicken 🐔 itself isn't too heavily breaded and it's juicy without being greasy. Pretty good value if im honest and I like their dipping sauces, much better than other chains chicken or otherwise. If I had a criticism it would be that the sweet tea wasn't very sweet and tasted like a batch had been left in the dispenser a bit too long.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Thomas Lloyd · Feb 2026

Spent 25 minutes in the drive through just for them to not have my food ready. I had to leave the drive through to make a timeline, I gave myself an extra 35 minutes to get the food, but to no avail, they can’t even do fast food
