The fried chicken was VERY disappointing. Barely edible. The corn bread was good. The Cole slaw was good.

Was so pleasantly surprised! Extremely good chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. Lest favorite were the fry's and they were still great!

The only saving grace of this establishment is the banana cream pie which they possibly outsource. Their chicken is so dry, and the skin is so chewy but not in a good way. Its like chewing rubber. It hurt my teeth and now I have to see my dentist. Take your money elsewhere. Food is bland and tasteless.

Top notch service, great staff, and fast with the ordering. The chicken batter or crust needs some work. There's something with the flavor that's not getting it there but it's okay. If they can get it to KFC original recipe status (which it seems like they're going for) it would be THE PLACE to get your fried chicken.

Buffalo chicken sandwich was good ?

Chicken was dry but also super pink. Got an 8 piece for the family and none of us ate more than half a piece cause of how pink it was. Bland. Mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese, & fried pickles were not good either. Plus they forgot some items of our order. All of it is going in the trash. Do not recommend.

I was a little hesitant to order because of the average rating, but overall I was happy with the meal. I ordered the 2 piece mixed with mac-n-cheese. I got a wing and a thigh. The chicken was moist and the coating was crispy. The honey biscuit was buttery, flaky and slightly sweet.

My husband and I ordered the 8 piece for $25 because the 3 piece was 16. The chicken was super greasy but not like the greasy you want with fried chicken. Also the chicken was dry. I had a leg and i almost choked. The biscuits were good and the slaw was good. The best part of the meal was getting pies from the little pie which they sell there.

I don't typically post negative reviews, but I need to dissuade people from choosing this place. The fried chicken was not juicy. It's not too dry either but it's still the kind of chicken that turns to mush in your mouth. They also haven't successfully removed the chicken smell from the meat. The mash potatoes really seem like they made a mistake. I've heard of using sour cream as a secret ingredient, but they must've gotten the proportions all wrong because the sourness made it taste pretty rancid. It was over-salted as well. The mac and cheese is fine, and I can't judge the Southern greens because I've never had it before. The biscuits are very good. I see a positive review for the nuggets and sandwiches, so maybe that's the right thing to order

First time order. I've ordered from Holy Cow BBQ at same location - which is pretty good. Fried chicken was pretty good - B+. Mash potato and cole slaw get A++. Biscuits were cold - not warm, COLD. Beans get a B. Giving it 3 stars because there's nothing worst than cold biscuits...

this place has a pick up thru another bbq restaurant. i was pleasantly surprised by the food. very tasty. and unlike most fried chicken places, food is not overly salty! we had the chicken nuggets and a couple of sandwiches. yum! i look forward to eating here again and trying other menu items :)

We ordered: Nashville hot chicken, regular chicken sandwich, sides (slaw, beans, biscuits, fries)Pros: Nashville Seasoning has good heat. Decent sides, great cole slaw. Chicken sandwich above average. Decent price for the area.Cons: Chicken itself is bland, sort of dry. Needs seasoning/brine. Some of us were adding salt to our fried chicken, which was a first. Biscuits a bit dry/crunchy.Verdict: May try again, for the sandwiches. Fried chicken was disappointing.
