Excellent 1/2 chicken with excellent onion, usual sides. I missed living in the neighborhood near the #2 North Lamar location. I stopped by at a slow time of day, polite staff and great food. Took to go, but the place was clean and ready for business later on in the day. Grabbed a couple neighborhood newspapers as I left.
These are the best
They always treat me right when I come to eat here. Staff is super friendly and always greets with a smile. I would recommend a visit here for lunch when in Manor.
