Really happy to discover this little gem! Fresh made sandwiches with homemade sauces that absolutely hit the spot. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly despite being made to order. The atmosphere was cuter and more comfortable than your average chicken shop too. We both only got the Crispy classic sandwich but were very pleasantly surprised and will be back to try more menu items, especially the tendies.

I rate the chicken tenders a 6/10

Now the portion is BIG which is the good part, I like that bread comes with the entire meal and a hefty amount of everything, the service is great and so is the area it’s very quiet but it’s very nice aesthetically.

But here’s the issue:

The chicken comes dry and it’s easy to bite in which is good but it also doesn’t have seasoning and the tenders come in sometimes like chicken nuggets and aren’t flat like a tenderloin would be, not bad just inconvenient to bite into sometimes.

The sauces are great but the signature sauce also doesn’t have flavor, which definitely is mixed with ketchup, mustard, mayo, and maybe paprika (I could be wrong). But some of the other sauces I can tell weren’t made instead could be from a 3rd party.

And lastly the pricing, compared to all other chicken locations like chick fil a, Dave’s hot chicken, PDQ, Yankee Doodle dandy’s, even fast food chicken this is the most expensive out of all which kinda offsets the portion but still your gonna go to get chicken cause you want something affordable, by far you go to PDQ and you can get 2 meals for half of the price

So it is a good place and if only it improved on the pricing, taste, and advertising only chicken and not other things outside of what it is, it would be a 10/10

It was good hot chicken , fresh out of the fryer chicken. The service here was awesome. The girl at the counter was friendly and kind. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. A very super clean place. I love it anyone should come and definitely try their jalapeño poppers they are great. They are filled with cheese inside. I give this place a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if they had cheese fries but atleast the poppers made up for it.. service 5 ⭐️ for sure..

Chicken sandwich was beyond dry and very thin. Only thing that was actually good were the onion rings. Wouldn’t recommend

Second time coming here and can't complain about anything. The food is really good. Very friendly staff. The chicken tenders and fried chicken are both delicious. The chicken sandwiches are huge.

Food just isn't the same anymore. Stil solid but comparatively, not even close. The cornbread used to be a slice of heaven, now it's not even noteworthy.

Was told a 40 minute wait time only to find out that it turned into a two hour wait. Lousy service wouldn’t recommend.

Fries are not like they used to be. They taste like diner fries now. Chicken is okay but the fries used to be so much more crispy.. I don’t know how to explain it but they were perfect. Please go back to the old fries! I usually loved everything about this place but food seemed off. Used to come here a lot on my work breaks but haven’t been here in 4 months since I was on maternity leave..came back and it’s so different :( hope they didn’t resell.. noticed a different face at the front
