Got a thigh that was the size of a wing. Customer service was poor. When I went back through the drive-through I was asked, “so what do you want?” What I wanted was a piece of chicken that wasn’t made for a miniature doll house and a little bit of customer service. Also, what kind of chicken place doesn’t give you napkins? There are an abundance of chicken places here in Jacksonville. I will choose a different one in the future.
The lunch time manager was amazing! Not sure of his name - I’m in the drive threw people everywhere normal madness at lunchtime- he is in there busting butt to help his employees get lunch orders out- Mind you I am in the drive threw- he stops what he is doing and tells his employees “Y’all are doing great keep it up, I really appreciate you! Everyone was happy and super helpful! Definitely made my day!
The food is good but man, the service is slow. Whether you are in the drive thru or in the building, you will wait.
