“My girlfriend, my self and one of our friends were heading back to Panama City from Orlando, and we didn’t want to stop for fast food. I found this GEM and decided to give it a try, as none of us have ever heard of it. My friends in Tallahassee, that have gatekept this place from us, shame on you. I cannot wait to drive back through this way again to ensure another visit. We also met Hades, walking through the garden, I have changed his name to Arugula, I’ll see him again soon. This place is great, the service was great. Keep being great.“

“omgosh amazing food and service. had the pork duo, braises beef ribs, crab cakes, and bread with herb infused oil. definitely a 10/10 in our books. it's not a quick eating place takes about 1.5-2 hours and price is up there so sharing maybe an option especially with what we had but glad we chose our own meals instead of sharing.“

“This Bojangles delivers exactly what you come for bold Southern flavor and satisfying comfort food. The fried chicken is usually hot, crispy, and well-seasoned, and the biscuits are a standout every time. Sides like mac & cheese, coleslaw, and fries are flavorful and filling.

Service can be a bit hit or miss depending on the time of day, especially in the drive-thru, but many staff members are friendly and genuinely helpful. The restaurant itself is generally clean and organized. Wait times can run longer during busy hours, but the food quality usually makes up for it. Overall, it’s a solid fast-food stop when you’re craving classic Bojangles favorites.“
