I can't remember the last time I had fried chicken that was this good. They make it to order so it takes a little longer. But it comes out hot and crunchy. The chicken itself is juicy, they must brine it or something. I also think their story is pretty great.

We entered around 5pm and ordered 8-pc spicy fried chicken. It was 20-min wait but totally worth it. Hot, juicy, crispy, flavorful... highly recommended.

Ordered this early before closing through DoorDash so we could have a late night meal. Delivery was prompt and the food smelled great.
We got two 2-piece dark plates and a side of fried okra. We got different sides for the plates so we could try everything.
The chicken was easy to re-heat. It was tasty! I wish I could try it fresh next time. The fried okra was nicely battered and crispy too. For the sides, we got mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, and coleslaw. I want to try their collard greens sometime.
We drizzled our own hot honey on the chicken and it was so good.
Fried okra is one of my favorite things to eat so I'm glad this spot exists. Solid place for a meal!

I love the food here but I had a very unpleasant experience during my last visit. I never dined again at this place ever since the discrimination I went through.

Food was good. However, I think it was a bit pricey for fried chicken.

Chicken is below average. Hella overpriced for what you get. $5 a wing. Are you effing kidding me! Never again!
