So you guys tell me what you interpret this sign to mean? Because apparently how I interpret the sign 8 piece chicken combo(fries&drink) for $10, is not what the sign says. According to the guy working, the sign says 8 piece chicken only for $10. I learned not to argue with people who are preparing my food...so...

My partner has ordered here before from grubhub but the last 2 times we order it gets canceled because they are closed. Google says they are open til 4am so why is my order being canceled? Someone working tonight called me and told me my order was ready an hour and a half early when it's a grubhub delivery. They could have told me then so I could have canceled my order and order somewhere else. Fix your hours on Google or grubhub!

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to eat chicken in a dirty gas station break room run by a single guy doing both cashier and fry cook duty with the enthusiasm of a DMV clerk, look no further.

I walked in—the place was grimy, one guy working, blank stare, no greeting. I said ā€œhello,ā€ and he just kind of stared back at me. Then he silently pointed at a paper menu on the counter and walked away without a word. At this point, I figured maybe he had a hearing impairment or something.

I saw a sign for a $5.99 two-piece combo in the front window, so I ordered that when he came back. (Turns out, totally fine hearing—just not much of a talker, I guess.) While waiting, I watched him repeat this same bizarre interaction with a couple of other customers.

I waited 25–30 minutes while he cooked all three orders at once. Finally got my food, went home… and it was inedibly bad. The chicken was so salty it felt like a prank. The fries were limp, frozen grocery store fries barely resurrected in oil. The can of Diet Coke was not bad though.

To add insult to injury, he charged me $11.99 for the $5.99 special. I guess I paid for a lesson today: stay away.

Caveat: I think this place stays open till 4am. So if you’re on a bender, this establishment may not be a bad choice.

This is my first time trying this place since Cindy's chicken coop closed. The food was mid and the service was OK considering there was 1 person working. That poor man took orders, cooked the food and everything else. I commend him for his hard work. They also have some pretty good deals.

The space inside and parking is limited. But that chicken is fried to perfection every single time! I went back twice! Not to mention, I found out that the location on Eastern is the only black owned location so I will support that one for sure!

This place has gone downhill. Customer service is horrible. This is the second time I’ve come in here in the past 2 years and have had the same experience. From walking in the door the older gentleman frying the chicken just looked at me, I greated him, no response. He turned back to me and just stared at me. I said ā€œhello hi your not going to great or speak to your customers?ā€ He kind of just half smirked and said hi. I just walked back out. The last time I was here 2 years ago it was the same rude experience. Its sad back then when I was a teenager visiting here was a great experience with people who cared about good customer service and conversation. I would never recommend this place. Suprised its still in business.

The food more than covers the entrepreneurial growing pains of the revitalizing efforts. Great catfish and cash is preferable. I would definitely return

Came here on a Friday night to order food for the first time. We were the only customers there, which was surprising. We wanted to order a number of mixed chicken, but we were informed fries weren't included. Also, the guy at the counter mentioned he would charge us a fee for using a debit card ---- which was disappointing and questionable! Without hesitation, we left and got food somewhere else. I'm not from the area, but I commute through this area often and pass this place up daily. It's no surprise this place doesn't get much business on any day of the week ---- and we for sure won't be back.
