Great wings! Delicious Hot chicken sandwich would've been a 5 if had more pickles on the sandwich. Nothing tasted frozen. Side of fries easily shareable for two. Wish there was a fountain drink option. Will definitely be back!

Usually their chicken is excellent but lately it’s been greasy and over cooked. I think they have a new cook or something please bring the old one

To be honest I tried this place because of the positive reviews. And I was expecting to eat some delicious flavorful chicken. But I was sorely disappointed. Keep in mind I was really hungry because of work and decided to eat at this place.The problem is there is 0 flavor on the fried chicken. I got 3 different pieces for $3 a piece. The food LOOKED good, but when I actually started eating it, there was 0 flavor. Just oil. I’m confused because the food has a nice seasoned red appearance, but was lacking any sort of flavor whatsoever. Paprika? No. I wasn’t able to taste any flavor whatsoever. Look at my pictures to see the oil puddle. When I was eating it, the fried skin was falling off… and the actual meat has 0 flavor.The fries were oily and came in a brown paper bag. The fries are nothing special.I’m so disappointed because KFC fried chicken has way better flavor and crunchy skin than this!!! I’m really confused why everyone is talking about this place having the best fried chicken because I didn’t get that at all.

Good, hot chicken served up fast and fresh in a nice little place in downtown Ypsilanti. Awesome greens! The baked beans were a little bit tomatey and spicy, but everything else that we had was great. Friendly service and fairly decent prices.

Do not miss this place!! I have been there many times and eat in the restaurant if you can and enjoy delicious hot crispy fries along with a chicken smash burger. Maybe I shouldn't recommend cause you all will get there before me!!
Great chicken and very kind employees. Donuts are delicious also. Need to try more items. Wonderful little gem in downtown Ypsilanti. Thank you! KEEP IT UP!

Amazing chicken sandwich from Ma Lou's! It was a real piece of chicken and not some processed patty that you would get elsewhere. The buns were warm and of higher quality as well! One of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had and will make an effort to go back if I am ever in the area!

Basic chik sandwich is a good start, but recommend the dark meat.Bun leaves a little to be desired.
