Howlin' Ray's Hot Chicken is a popular spot for fried chicken lovers. Known for its great atmosphere and fantastic fried chicken, the restaurant offers options like tenders, the sando, or the half chicken. The chicken tenders are highly praised as delicious, and the comeback sauce adds to the flavor. The staff is attentive, energetic, and always checking if customers need anything, creating a lively environment. Many customers say the food is consistently juicy and high-quality, with the medium spicy option being popular, though anything above that might be too hot. The location can have long lines, sometimes up to two hours, but many believe it is worth the wait. Parking fills up quickly, but there is street parking nearby. Customers appreciate the music choice and the efficient service, with some noting the staff's excellent memory of orders and friendly attitude. The entrance is not an exit, so visitors are advised to go out the back to avoid the long lines and crowded waiting area. Overall, Howlin' Ray's remains a must-visit for fried chicken fans, offering a lively environment and tasty food despite occasional wait times.
