Where shall I begin? Let’s start from the top shall we. We enter the restaurant, ask for table for 3, the greeter tells us what room to go to but not how to get there or where it is. The decor is from the late seventies possibly early 80:s. The carpet appears to have been there since the place first opened. Next. Is a demographics issue. 95 percent of the diners are elderly which means the restaurant is only drawing in older customers. Not that I mind older customers. The problem is if this restaurant fails to attract younger people they will not last long. The fourth issue is the menu. They have family style bowls filled with canned beets and an onion, coleslaw, corn fritters., and this strange kidney bean salad. It’s an odd assortment. The only thing we touched were the corn fritters. We order the fried chicken dinner which comes with one side. I chose the mash potatoes and gravy . My significant other chose the Mac and cheese. The mash potatoes come from a box and I am sure the yellow weird concoction called gravy was from a can. The mac and cheese was probably pre made frozen Stouffers. My best guess. Anyways the only thing they did right was the fried chicken. This restaurant needs to scrap the weird beginning family style bowls. I would suggest home made biscuits, butter and homemade jam for the table. The sides should be fresh homemade mash potatoes, corn on the cob, homemade mac and cheese, fried okra, and grilled asparagus. A fresh new menu and an updated decor would do wonders.

The fried chicken was good but pass on the nuggets. Also they didn’t send my fritters so check your bag

On Sunday, 29 Sep. 24 I the occasion to visit the Riverside. IL. location (Take only).
Must say upon getting to my residence, I was totally disappointed. I specifically asked for a bowl of chicken gravey, a bowl of beets.
The lady waiting on me was doing just fine. Then a male came up to interrupt. He was more concerned about charging me an extra $1.00 for the bowel of beets. Only received a minimal portion of fritters ie; 5 or 6.
This location is TRULY disappointing. From now on I will only PATRONIZE Romeoville, IL.
Better managment is needed!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't bother calling in your order and expecting it to be ready when they say it will be. And don't complain that you're sitting there for 25 minutes after it was supposed to be ready or they'll literally cuss you out with nonstop b/words and f/bombs in a crowded restaurant until you walk out the door. Been a loyal customer for 20 years but I'm done.

After coming here for around a year I’m tired of hearing the same male employee rambling as he makes the food about an inconvenience in his life. He pisses me off the way he talks to other employees and last time he over cooked my fries, and my chicken completely changing the flavor. Please get rid of that employee costing you guys so much money. This place used to be SO GOOD

Parking: I order for every party I have had and everyone asks where I get the food. They love it, never nothing left over it’s the best. Easy parking , food hot and ready in no time.

Excellent moist, crispy chicken. Sides are great, kids like the fritters and the Cole slaw is always spot on.

Decent fried chicken, pretty good fries. Gravy is really bad and service is crazy slow. I would go here over Popeyes but honestly it's just kinda mid. prices are decent though.

I love how I paid $40 to sit at a dirty table in a dirty restaurant and listen to the cooks scream, yell, and laugh obnoxiously the entire time I ate. Couldn't wait to get out.
