The GM and the staff are very welcoming with my first time visiting here and explained the menu options to me, the most popular items and the combos. I had an excellent experience and the food tasted great, and I will visit this location again the next time we're in Tyler! Thank you for showing such great hospitality.
Love this chicken! If you're in a city that has a Southern Classic Chicken stop and get a taste of the south 😋
Drive thru only but the chicken is to die for. So good. ❤

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.
