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.

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...

The chicken here was amazing! As a Gus myself, I may be somewhat biased. But really, the chicken was super moist and flavorful. I was able to get a meal with a mix of dark and white, even though the meals on the menu are either dark or white. Fast and friendly service, and low key atmosphere.
