“It was delicious ive never ate at bojangles this was my very first time nd the breakfast was amazing ty“

“The only negative part of my experience was a long wait in the drive thru line. The food was spectacular and I highly recommend the lobster bites. They are crunchy, buttery and should be a permanent item on the menu, year around. I got a four piece fish dinner with fried okra and macaroni and cheese. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sides were fantastic. The hush puppies were moist and hot. Paired them with a large sweet tea and I had a marvelous dinner.

The staff was super kind and very attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it definitely helped quell my seafood craving. I would give it a ten star rating if that was possible. Enjoy!“

“Please fill the macaroni and cheese all the way up.“

“Visited this n location on 6.15.25. The GM there is amazing! She walked in after I ordered and noticed how long I had been waiting for my order and asked her staff what was taking so long. They told her they were awaiting on chicken. She told them they needed to make my whole order again so it would be fresh. She apologized that it took longer than expected but no apology was needed. I appreciate her taking minute to see what was going on and using that as a teaching moment for them. I think they should send her to all restaurants sonshe can show them how to operate!“

“Went to Wendy’s tonight around 9pm. I ordered a #9. Simple as could be. You would think? I got my order and the burger seemed small to be a the Bourbon Bacon Burger. I checked it and it was pathetic. I have never had anything negative to say about Wendy’s, but tonight was not a great experience. The burger didn’t have all of the ingredients on it and it only had one tiny piece of bacon. It was literally a patty, a slice of cheese, and a tiny piece of bacon. The bun was hard around the edges as if it had been sitting under a warmer all day. I circled back around to return the food, but I had already been sitting in the drive thru for what seemed like an hour to order anyway. I was tired and hungry and ready to go home. I tried calling the store to voice my disappointment but I didn’t get an answer. So I am resorting to an online review. I don’t typically make complaints on food orders, but to pay $10 for a burger that was beyond pathetic was very disappointing and then I didn’t even get a receipt for my order either so I have no proof of my order. I’m sorry to say It was a very pitiful experience. I ended up going to a different restaurant to order a meal.“

“Fast easy and good. Thank you Zaxb'ys“

“Not sure his name but I know he was a new employee and he was from Louisiana, been living with his mom in Tennessee and now at his dads in Athens. He is a great and pleasant asset to Arbys there in Athens! Hopefully he gets to visit Pappadeaux and hopefully he’s a long term employee! I ordered the Fish and he took the time to come over and see how it was and was a present conversation!“

“Quick service and great food and a clean restaurant.“
