“Bullseye because this place doesn’t miss! Had a craving for fried chicken and decided to grab some fried fish as well. Not a lot of talking over dinner tonight, just lip-smacking and humming some negro spirituals! There was a little glitch with the phone ordering and had to wait a little longer than expected due to the dinner rush, but hey, it was so worth it in the end. Price was right, portions were sufficient and the food was hot n ready. Wings, fish, greens, mac n cheese, and sweet potatoes!!“

“Wonderful food, drinks, and atmosphere. 2 of the 3 ladies I brought to dinner are southern belles, and they were reminded of home by the food. Great first experience. We will definitely be back again. A+ in my book.“

“I’ve never heard of this place before today.. a few of my employee’s went there for lunch and told me to try it. I tried the catfish lunch and it’s incredible! The portion size is massive, the fries are fresh and dialed in and the sauces are spot on! New customer for life! Thank you“

“Its fried chicken 🍗...what else is there to be said? Ok let's see, it was fresh, French fries were terrific, the bread is a nice touch. The chicken 🐔 itself isn't too heavily breaded and it's juicy without being greasy. Pretty good value if im honest and I like their dipping sauces, much better than other chains chicken or otherwise. If I had a criticism it would be that the sweet tea wasn't very sweet and tasted like a batch had been left in the dispenser a bit too long.“
