A high-quality chicken sandwich… A juicy piece of breast meat that was well seasoned. The breading was falling off a little bit, and I personally prefer a little more spice and sweetness on a Nashville chicken sandwich… But it was still very good.

Definitely get the wedges. Unlike the soggy ones from KFC… These have a nice crisp to the outside and good flavor.

Staff is very friendly and helped me order the right things.

Awesome food, super well mannered staff, efficient also. Quick to create my order, although they were during lunch rush hour!
Thank you! Will not only comeback, I will recommend you!

One of our first stops whenever we're in Louisville! Royals makes the best hot chicken I've had. I also appreciate their transparency with allergens, and how easy this information is to find. It's a fun lunch date spot, and a great place to take visitors who are new to the city.
