Ankeny’s hidden chicken gem. This take out only is delicious. Every bite has you wanting more. From the chicken sandwiches to the tater tots with chicken, bacon, and jalapeños to the sidewinder fries, everything on the menu is amazing. This is a must eat joint.
Food portions are excellent. Chicken was juicy and I really liked the sidewinder fries.
Slightly disappointing that the sandwiches we ordered had maybe a tablespoon of coleslaw on them. And if there was any spicy mayo at all, it was not enough to notice or taste.
I like the idea of a virtual kitchen, however, anyone who is familiar with fried foods knows that they don't hold up (or stay crispy) for long, especially when transported in a container to eat...

Plain smoked wings with ranch dressing are the best I've had by far. Have had the various chicken sandwiches a well, but keep getting the wings. Intense smoke flavor and their ranch is better than my homemade, and I make really good ranch. Great service and easy pickup. Hard to beat for a quick takeout meal!
