Chicken was good. Service needs a little work. We ordered meals and they gave us child cups. We didn’t know until we started looking around and everyone had adult size lol. They did fix it after I asked about it.

The manager Kaitlyn was so extremely nice to us, presented us with great gratitude and amazing food. The food was even better than expected and was the best fried chicken I’ve ever had!!!!

Our favorite place to eat whenever we have occasion to visit Indy, which is 5-6 times a year. That being said I was disappointed to find out this past weekend they took the collard greens off the menu and didn't offer the hot honey as a dipping sauce. Other than that it was still a very tasty meal. Definitely not a deal breaker lol
