“Best experience within a restaurant. I never write reviews but I was truly so pleased with my experience. Never had chicken salad chick prior but now will be going very frequently. The owner and staff made the best impression and went above and beyond. On top of that the food was unbelievable. 100/100”

“I feel bad going during the lunch rush, but today I just needed to eat. It’s super cool that they started serving invisible bacon on their club sandwiches. Too bad I didn’t notice they gave me the invisible kind until I got home, I much prefer the kind that I can see.”

“Love this place!! Their barbecue sandwiches are the BOMB . . . my only recommendation is please make sure the bread doesn’t fall apart!! Maybe drain the barbecue and the coleslaw a little more before putting it on. Today’s sandwich was good . . . but they have been a bit soggy in the past. Keep up the good work!!”

“You really can not go wrong with KFC. The chicken? Always fried to perfection - extra crispy if you please ? - The sides? Deliciously southern. The biscuits? Slap your grandma good. And the sweet tea? Well, let's just say that it wouldn't be served in the south if it didn't pass the southern sweet tea muster. I'm also really enjoying the order kiosk at this location. It makes it so much easier to decide what you want to eat, if you're not sure, to be able to browse the menu for a couple or so minutes without feeling pressured to go ahead and order from the folks behind you in line or the cashier {who probably seems haggard and worn}.”

“The last Kentucky Fried Chicken I had prior to this Market St. restaurant was in Colchester, Vt several years ago, and it was so bad, that I stopped going. The meal was substandard on all fronts. YESTERDAY at noon, I had a meal at the Market St. Kentucky Fried Chicken and it was simply SUPERB!! The chicken was very warm, juicy, fresh and tender. The best chicken I have had in years, bar none!! I put it on par with a 5-star restaurant. THANK YOU Kentucky Fried Chicken for that wonderful meal... I'll be back! : )”
