Southern Classic Chicken offers a limited menu focused on fried chicken and tenders, with a mix of reviews. The chicken is described as the best fried chicken in Tyler and even Smith County, with large pieces that are not greasy, thanks to the frequent oil changes and proper frying temperature. The corn grits are praised as a true southern dish. However, the Cajun Rice is still criticized as a "bowl of grease that was soupy." The outdoor-only seating comes with the risk of being "hounded by stray dogs." While some customers report issues with service, many consider it the only place to get their Fried BUCKET of chicken, enjoying the experience despite the occasional service flaws. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a loyal fan base who find it a hidden gem in Tyler.
