Dark rooms , tasty chicken but Lilliputian portions. I would not recommend it. And that’s only for minuscule portions

It’s hard to find restaurant food that’s not super salty but everything here tastes like it’s homemade! I was so impressed by the flavor of the chicken and all the seasonal side dishes. A wonderful dinner experience!

The patio is so cozy and lovely! As a group of 4 we ordered the half bird and a ton of sides. Our favorites were the baked fennel and the eggplant.

I think for a lot of people this restaurant could be 5 stars. The food was prepared very well and the service was great. But the seating feels really on top of each other and I never got a wow moment from the food. I think this could be due to the style of food - it felt very farm to table. Lots of mellow flavors, lots of butter & oil. We enjoyed our experience but I don’t think we’ll return.
Very large wine selection, small beer & cocktail selection.
Side note - the location is very odd - it’s almost a small house on an industrial street. It didn’t feel unsafe or anything, but certainly a curious walk coming from downtown.

Really nice, quaint. I like how small it feels and the staff are always a pleasure. I've sat at the bar the last three times and had something different every time, but always chicken & a side or two. Looking forward to trying the patio soon too..

Delicious! Many restaurants in Charlottesville are overrated. This is not one of them. Great food, wine, and service. Especially Chef Sam!

Fantastic meal with kind friendly service. The collards, pickles, salad, and polenta were outstanding and the chicken was moist and flavorful. One whole chicken was plenty for our party of four. Easily one of our best meals in Charlottesville so far. Highly recommended.

Great food; friendly and professional staff. Far more than 'just a chicken place', even though chicken is the only entree on the menu. Think of it as a wonderful starting point for fine appetizers, sides, and desserts.

The garlicky white beans are delicious and don't miss the cocktails. We will be back. Again. And Again...
Everything about this place is excellent. From the warm and inviting welcome that the staff provides upon walking through the door to the service to the food this place is amazing. The food is fabulous. This was our third visit and everything we try is always fantastic. The portions are big and generous and we always seem to over order! The chicken is perfection. It’s juicy with a crisp skin. The sides are all so good. We have had almost all the standard ones. Mac n cheese and potatoes au gratin are decadent and delicious. Garlic white beans are so good too. They have a little spice and kick to them which I love. Check out this darling and fabulous neighborhood spot! They have a full bar too! We are from Texas and come here every time we are in Charlottesville!

I don’t understand the hype. The chicken was bland. My partner and I were very underwhelmed with this place given all the recommendations. It’s like paying a lot of money for someone’s bad home cooked chicken. What’s the appeal of this place?

A chicken based menu that follows through with simple yet completely yummy sides
