“Really great food without all of the grease that you usually get with fried food. Not only do they have top notch chicken (probably the best in St Louis), but they also have really good fish and shrimp. They have frog legs! I haven't tried them yet but judging by their other food they're probably as exceptional as they look. They have good portions on the yummy sides, as well. The okra is prepared and cooked correctly- not slimy or greasy at all. The staff is super friendly and courteous. It's a nice atmosphere to dine in; adequate seating and eclectic decorations. Not fast food in quality and ambiance, but close to fast food speed getting your order.“

“Really cool but you just sort of walk in and stand there. There is no hostess and it's super busy on game day so If it's your first time be prepared. It would also help if "Google Maps* Took you directly to the parking lot which is free.Parking: Great free parking just across the street in a well lit good part of town. The ?️ is hard to find you might have to circle the blood to find it.Kid-friendliness: It's a restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: Using the bathroom might be a pain.

“This place has remained one of the best southern style fried chicken places for years.Nothing crazy or different. Just some of the best textbook fried chicken you can get in STL.I prefer the spicy breading over the normal one but both are spectacular. 9.1-8.8 clucks respectively.“

“I had the Box Combo. It was my first time there but multiple people have recommended them. I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. Didn't care for the sauce. Fries were just okay and coleslaw was not for me. The Texas toast was delicious, though!The price was right, and I enjoyed the restaurant's setup. The music choices were great (high-energy pop), but the music was pretty loud. I enjoyed it while eating alone but would have had to strain to hear over it.It's not my first choice but I'd eat here again.“

“Very happy with the food and the value! I ordered DoorDash delivery from this place because it was significantly less expensive than others and recent reviews looked decent enough to risk it. For a 10 piece legs/thighs with fries it was only $12.99 ($19 total with taxes and DD delivery tip). It came in a 9x13 pan with perforated foil over it to keep it from getting too soggy during delivery. It was still hot and crispy. They sent hot sauce and ketchup packets in the bag.You can actually see their spice mix on the chicken and fries. It's a nice, mild garlic-y mix. Not very spicy. I love salt, so I was fine with the sodium level, but it would be pretty high for anyone with health considerations. (You might be able to request it without the extra spice mix on top though?) The seasoning profile is different, but I’d say the salt level of the breading was similar to KFC’s.Food tasted fresh. Chicken wasn’t dry. Leftovers reheated well in the air fryer. A couple of the leg and thigh pieces were on the smaller side, but I had zero problem with that given the price. Just a consideration if you’re feeding kids (or adults) who will squabble over who gets the biggest pieces. It looks like they have a drive through window for easy pickup orders. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm excited they have things like gyros and salads too. All their prices look very reasonable. I live right next to a KFC, but their food quality and order accuracy have been horrible and Popeyes has been hit or miss lately too. I highly suggest skipping the big chains and checking this place out. It may be my new go-to place for comfort food!“
