Worth the wait! If the line is long, stand strong.
This chicken is perfect. Hot, juicy, seasoned, and the skin has a crunch that transports you to your grandmas house for Sunday dinner.
The sides are good too, but you haven’t had the best chicken (in Reading Terminal and maybe the world) if you haven’t tried Ma Lessie’s Chicken.
No trip to center city is complete without stopping here.

Listen, I waited and it was worth the wait. The food was hot and fresh. Omggg my husband and I were happy because the food is reasonably priced! The interaction with ordering my food was very pleasant and I appreciate that when I’m spending!!
