As a fried chicken aficionado who appreciates the nuances of different frying techniques, I had high expectations for Sneaky's based on their reputation. I visited during a busy lunch rush and was impressed by the excellent staff who managed the crowd efficiently despite being slammed.
The Good:
Outstanding service despite heavy volume
Buffet style allows you to see exactly what you're getting
Decent salad bar offerings
The Disappointing:
The chicken itself, unfortunately, didn't live up to the hype. As someone familiar with broasted chicken technique, I was disappointed to find the chicken lacked proper seasoning and, more critically, showed signs of being overcooked. Properly broasted chicken should have that beautiful golden color without the dark browning or hard crust that I observed here.
My Theory:
I suspect many of the glowing reviews stem from the buffet format - there's something appealing about unlimited fried chicken that can overshadow quality issues. However, as someone who values technique over quantity, I'd rather have one perfectly executed piece than a buffet of mediocre ones.
Bottom Line:
Sneaky's is okay if you're looking for a casual buffet experience with decent service, but for truly exceptional broasted chicken, I'd recommend making the drive to Lally's in Le Mars instead. The difference in execution and flavor is worth the extra miles.
Would I return? Probably not, unless I was specifically craving a buffet experience over quality chicken.

Ordered chicken and fries to go. Wonderful food!
Best chicken in a 3 state area.
We ordered fried chicken dinner and it was served hot...very tasty. The waiter was polite and helpful making our order. Plenty of parking too. I would go back.
Chicken is always great. Sides are better if you eat in.
