"I tried Bush's chicken for the first time yesterday. It was a long drive to the other end of town but, I thought I'd give it a shot. The place is clean and tidy. The decor is country-ish with booths along the perimeter by the windows and regular tables in the middle. The booths are typically comfortable but larger people will find it difficult to sit in them. They are the fixed type that you find in older burger joints (think Dairy Queen circa 1980).For my order, I selected the 2 piece fried chicken dinner. I paid an up-charge to get 2 breasts. For my sides, I ordered the Mac and cheese and country Cole slaw. The chicken breasts were big and the sides were of a good size too.I started with the mac and cheese, which I found to be doughy and bland. I've made better at home using generic boxed mac and cheese. The country cole slaw was better; it was creamy and sweet with a little tartness. The included bread roll was commendably light and airy.The chicken looked good but at first bite, the breading was hard and had absolutely no flavor. It tasted like fried flour. and, the breast itself lacked any flavor; it tasted like boiled chicken, yuck! I resorted to removing the breading from the breasts. My plate ended up looking like an autopsy. Southern fried chicken is an art, many people take pride in making their own, well, not here.Comparing the chicken only, Chick-fil-A, Popeye's and KFC have nothing to worry about. Bush's chicken would more directly compete with Church's chicken and, I would take Church's chicken any day! Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere. This chicken should only be sold at convenience stores and gasoline stations. FAIL!"
