I can’t stop thinking about the fried chicken sandwich and mac n cheese. The pickles in the sandwich! Oh the pickles! The Mac n cheese made me melt 🫠 I’ve had the breakfast sandwich on a donut (10/10 recommend), and their other donuts (all delicious. I’ll be coming back to try the fried cauliflower sandwich soon!

The building was formerly an auto mechanic shop, which explains the name and gives the place a unique, quirky style. I’d read rave reviews about their fried chicken sandwich and donuts, so I decided to stop by. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich ($9) and a chocolate cake donut with buttercream icing ($1.50).

The sandwich was excellent—the breading was thick and crunchy, which I really enjoyed. The cake donut was also delicious, with a rich chocolate flavor and smooth buttercream on top, and the price is reasonable.

There’s plenty of parking, a few outdoor tables with umbrellas, and some indoor seating as well. The staff behind the counter were super friendly and welcoming. If I’m in the area again, I’d definitely stop in for another fried chicken sandwich.

Donuts taste like cooked in oil from chicken or fish. All you taste is the oil it was cooked in and it is not pleasant. Threw out donuts. Did not try any other food just the donuts first time buyer. Friendly staff.

My wife and I stopped in today for lunch. I got the 2 piece chicken. She got the north side spicy chicken sandwich. We also tried the mashed potatoes with gravy and the mac n cheese. Holy smokes! Easily the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The Mac n cheese was fantastic. Mashed potatoes and gravy were top tier. My wife said the chicken sandwich was SOOOO good. No funky weird pieces like you find in other sandwiches. Everything appears homemade, down to the pickles on the sandwich. So of course with the food being so good, we had to get some donuts to take home and guess what??!! Those are freakin delicious too. Sorry for the missing bites lol.

We will definitely be back!

It’s so hard to find a good breakfast sandwich in Madison, especially on the east side, so when I recently discovered this place I was blown away. The English muffin breakfast sandwich (which can also be done on a dang DONUT) was amazing. It was like $5, can’t beat that!! I also find the lore behind the place funny. It used to be a car shop and literally looks like one, all the way down to the garage door. Definitely recommend trying it out!
