First time trying this establishment I think I prefer this chicken over Hattie B's chicken here has more flavor and the fries are good! Wish they offered Cheesy Bacon Grits as a side would be a game changer.

Do NOT I repeat DO NOT order delivery from here. The order will take an hour, they will totally get order wrong and embarrassingly I asked for the manager and she couldn’t have cared less. This is second time this has happened.

We'll start with the food... I had the 2 catfish fillets with fries and Mac and cheese and added 3 whole, lemon pepper wings. The catfish was fried great and the batter was on point. Not a ton of seasoning but I dipped it in their comeback sauce and it was a good compliment. The chicken was my favorite! The skin was super crispy and it was seasoned well! The Mac and cheese tasted homemade, it gets an 8/10 and there was nothing special about the fries. My wife had the tenders which had a sweet taste to them and they were phenomenal. They would pair well with the waffles which were also good and prepared perfectly, very light and fluffy. The establishment isn't bad. A little tight so not idea for big crowds. They were out of drink selections and we were never updated about our order. I did realize they make everything fresh but just kindly letting us know they are still working on it would have been nice. It was 7 of us and my total came to $127, but the portions were good so I'm ok with the price. I would give a 5 if the fries were seasoned, Mac and cheese had a bit more seasoning, fish was seasoned a bit more and the establishment was a bit more inviting. Maybe offering some "out-of-the- box" selections since everything is made to order. We'll definitely go back if we visit Birmingham! ??

I will say counter customer service was very good. The food is very pricey. The jumbo tenders are definitely not jumbo for the three you get. And the mild chicken wings I ordered my mother were definitely not mild and for whatever reason were sprinkled with sugar. And okra not sure how they cook it but the actual batter was part of what was suppose to be fried okra. Tried this place but very less and disappointed for the experience and money spent. Not sure if I would recommend it.

Save your money! The JUMBO tenders meal comes with 3 tender the size of your thumb, $6 a tender is a joke. The food is good but the price is ridiculous and a complete rip off. Sides not included, and service is slow. If this was reasonably priced it would be a great spot but I just paid $30 for a meal that wouldn’t satisfy a toddler.

The food was great, the service is slow but that is because they cook to order, and they get very busy... the atmosphere threw me off some because the place was way too small for their customer base...

This is a hybrid Nashville chicken/fried chicken spot, with some epic sides and amazing homemade sauces.The line can get a bit long and you may have to keep an open eye to allow you to commandeer a table.But you'll get a lot of food and it'll be quite nice (1/2 chicken and 2 sides for ~$20 or so). The collard greens are worth trying and they come in a generously sized Styrofoam cup (note, some food is served in Styrofoam, which I don't really like)Parking: Street parking...so you may have to walk if downtown is hopping.
