"Walking distance for me and was very much in the mood to clog my arteries with some good old fashioned fried chicken. Yes, it was 10 minutes before closing time, only a couple of table left, and when ordered our meals at the counter, we're told its a 20 minute wait due to that fact they cook everything to order. Love that. Always willing to wait to fresh to order food! Not the friendliest customer service, but not awful. I figured they were just ready to get out of there and annoyed with our timing. Little did they know we were on a rampage to get there for an entire hour! lol Running to eat fried chicken. Sometimes you gotta move those chicken legs hahahaha. My order: The chicken plate mixed (dark and white) with BBQ sauce, side of mac cheese bites, comes with coleslaw and fries. I donated my fries to the PIC (partner in crime) PIC order: All white meat chicken pieces. Medium sauce. Bunch of tv's in there to keep us busy watching the football games. Menus all over the walls with specials. Chicken is HOT. Nothing cold here, nothing sitting around here. Sauce tastes mmmmmhmmm good. The chicken skin is perfectly fried and not too chunky. Great dredging. Juicy, not overcooked! Mac and cheese bites were fair. Like they used Kraft mac-n-cheese and chopped it up and fried them into little nuts. Meh. The coleslaw which tasted great was sadly served in the kind of small container they put to go ketchup in. Sad face. Overall, the chicken speaks for itself. The customer service could be a little better, but I bet they weren't thrilled with our late arrival. Next time I'll order a big slaw. BTW, they do NOT skimp on the chicken. It was a huge platter!"
