“The sides, despite how generous in size, were priced well and delicious. We tried the sweet potato crock and cole slaw and both were very good iterations of their respective recipes.The appetizers seem priced a little expensive for how small they are. We tried the hush puppies and if they offered more pieces, we'd definitely order again.The mainstay of this restaurant is the fried chicken. For the price, the portions are fair and available in dark meat, white meat, and chicken half variants. To be honest, the breading was a little disappointing. It was a bit overcooked and browned instead of the gold you would expect from a crispy piece of chicken. Maybe the staff was having an off day.The restaurant smelled like a very clean Brothers Bar and Grill, which is to say there's probably a heavy drinking crowd at night. I would still go again, but only in the day.The waiter was very helpful, knew the menu inside and out, and attentive. The restaurant itself looks like it was AI-generated so you can tell it's some corporate franchise but otherwise it's a cute spot. If you have a picky eater to deal with, this is a good restaurant to choose.“

I did the medium plus heat because i like spice and I won’t have a problem moving up a stage or two. This spot is a must try. We even came in 10mins before close and our food came out hot and fresh like it was the first order of the day. Can’t wait to come back and bring friends.“

“Went here with my wife after a long drive to get a quick bite before we head home to call it a night. It was a complete whim and figure fried chicken sounds good.I can’t stress to you how absolutely delicious this food was. Especially with how much it cost for the incredible portions you get. I hate to compare but I had hotboys chicken a week before trying this place and I was incredibly annoyed by the vibe and how it was just laid out but the food was great.Every single thing was better and more relaxed here though which is personally more my speed. Me and my wife got to pig out after a long day and proceed to pass out in bed.“

“This 92 year old restaurant/institution was delightful! Having a family style dinner in a pristinely kept old home was a complete experience. It is definitely a place I will bring all visitors to try as long as they like fried chicken! Best fried chicken I have had in a while and the biscuit recipe is fabulous! It reminds me of an old farm dinner. Excellent service and the whole package was warm and welcoming.“

“This is my first visit to Joella's. I live like 5 blocks but never came in the 2 yrs I've lived in Indy. I had the quarter half, tweener level heat, mash tators and colored greens. The chicken was cooked to perfection, perfect crunch, perfect spice/heat. Might try hotter next time. The mashed tators and the "kickin" gravy were delicious. Now, the colored greens. Folks, there is a science to cooking great colored greens. Cook'em slow and low, good seasoning, get that tenderness. Y'all, these colored greens were so freakin good, they will make you slap your momma, then turn around and ask her to slap you back! Amazing!Folks get here, eat, be super happy. The staffers super friendly, helpful! Best meal I've had in a while! EAT HERE!“

We had lots of kids which I'm sure was annoying but everyone was lovely. The fries were delicious, sauce selection generous. My mother in law loved the chicken and waffles! And the salad was really fresh and a generous portion.“

“Found this place in a local review field fried chicken and figured I would give them a try. Sure glad I did. The shop itself is a little off the road in an older strip mall. When you walk in, you are hit with fragrant aromas of freshly-fried chicken. I chose the three-piece lunch, and it was very solid. Chose the Mac-and-cheese for my side, which was also creamy and flavorful. Overall, I was pleasantly impressed, and will not hesitate to return.“

I was drawn by the smell of this amazing chicken shopping nearby . When I came in the lady at the front had Beautiful customer service. She hooked me up with the right dinner with an amazing price. Mind you this is my first time here. She made sure what I wanted made sense with what I ordered. The food service was fast! The Chef even verified SAUCES and my order multiple times. I waited for a good two songs. They definitely was jamming to the right vibes at night. I smelled this good food all the way home where the TASTE was EVERYTHING AND MORE! I’m So glad I stopped by! My boyfriend was craving for some hush puppies and they did amazing job on them, the fried perch and traditional wings. Definitely will be coming back!“

“I got the spicy leg and thigh, extra crispy. Folks, this was some of if not the absolute best fries chicken I've had in my life. The chicken itself was juicy and very flavorful. The sauce was very spicy, but sweet and balanced. But the breading was the real star. This was crispy as could be and delicious. It stayed crispy up until the last bite of the second piece despite being coated in sauce. I honestly ate the crumbles of breading that fell off. That's how good it is. The owner was extremely friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was perfect. I'll be back very soon for sure.“

“I had the honey garlic pepper wings. They were pretty good. The food came out at the time they said it would. They seem pretty nice. Considering I had purchased a 10 piece, the amount of fries were small. Very small. I guess I'll have to order extra fries. Lastly, there are so many different menus online all with different prices so its confusing to understand their prices.“

Overall, excellent fast food quality at fair prices. No hot dogs...thus not quite a Chicago experience, but very close. Will return when in the area.“
