I'm confused. This used to be the best fried chicken I've ever had, but tonight the chicken we got had minimal flavor. Is it under new management? we also didn't get the coleslaw that was supposed to come with it.

Best fried chicken in town. Wish they would make the original ginger/cilantro recipe an option or just bring it back. I used to get it all the time. It was one of the best flavor profiles.

Tasty chicken. Seasoned well and fried crispy. The potato wedges were fried in the same batter as the chicken so the flavors are very similar. I would recommend you all you order instead of having to wait at the restaurant. I ordered for pick up through grub hub and the estimated time for pickup was about 10mins within the time we actually got our food which wasn't too bad. The food was fresh out the fryerand hot. I didn't get my coleslaw and was looking forward to it just because other reviewers enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind trying this place again to try the shrimp. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a pic. Next time

The chicken tender meal is well seasoned, juicy and very filling. The potato wedge are nicely seasoned as well.

This may be the best fried chicken I've ever had which is saying something since my grandma made killer fried chicken. I can't recommend it enough and hope they stick with the leg and thigh option and not decide to only have wings and tenders. You can get those everywhere.

It was a Friday night and all I knew was: I cannot possibly cook another meal this week. I took out my Yelp app and literally opted for the first biz listed in my weekly recommendations and ordered takeout. We ordered their chicken tender family dinner. It comes with 12 chicken tenders, potato wedges, coleslaw, and a 2 liter for, wait for it, $18.99. Dinner for my fam for less than $20? Sold! We weren't sure what to expect and drove up to find that this spot is a little chicken shack attached to a gas station (the best places are those little holes in the wall, amirite?). Our food came piping hot in an enclosed rectangular aluminum container, which was nice as it was still piping hot when we got home. We really enjoyed the chicken and potatoes which fed my family of 3 for two nights. The coleslaw was pretty scant (we got two tiny, salad dressing sized containers of it). But, everything else was so plentiful, we didn't mind too terribly much. A great little hole in the wall serving up some delish fried chicken! And, hey...they have shawarma plate as well? Definitely trying that next. Get to it!

OK, right now, there are 13 reviews for this joint, with me making the 14th review. Of these 13, 11 are 5-stars. With everyone saying kind of the same thing - "best wings in Milwaukee!" "exclamation point!" So I had to try it, but with some reserved skepticism. But, fellow 13 yelpers didn't disappoint - these are some good wings, guys. With covid raging outside, I wouldn't eat inside the small joint. But it's a perfect place for to-go wings. We were warmly greeted by the friendly owner (I assume he's the owner), who told us he is in the process of changing up the menu a bit. (But his chicken is staying put). So, of the 2 different menus he showed us, the original one shows fried chicken and seasoned chicken. The new menu has fried "whole" wings. Which is what you want to order. The breading/frying is the same process for all, with the seasoned chicken having the season added afterwards (hot, bbq, etc.) His breading is not too much and not too little, and most reminiscent of the plain Korean wings I had in Korea (yes, even more so than the other wings in Milwaukee that say they are Korean wings - Merge-achoo). - fried whole wings - deliciously golden, not too salty, not too plain, with pieces of ginger adding the perfect zing. They are whole wings, in 3 sections, which is nice if you like the wing tip area like I do. - potato wedges - these come as a side (or regular fries). The pictures here showed a very crispy looking wedge with more breading, but the ones we got were more like baked/boiled potatoes, and weren't crispy enough. I think they can work on this. I will try the fries next time because of the disappointment. - Cole slaw - this came in small little tubs as a side. Three for 20 wings. And I usually don't even comment on these sides... but this one was really good. We tasted a bit of wasabi in it, which made it so good with the fried chicken. I never finish my cold slaw, but I was left hungering for more. Per other yelpers and the owner, I would like to try the shawarma and fish fries too. Will update when I do. But probably will be going back for more chicken before I try anything else. I'm actually thinking of ordering some more again. Like now. lol Oh, and don't get lost. They are located right on the corner of Teutonia and Good Hope, inside the gas station. (and don't get gas here - it's cheaper just down the street)

Best chicken spot I've encountered in Greater Milwaukee so far. Definitely going to be one of our go to spots. Downside: onion rings. They're soggy.

Top 3 best fried chicken experiences I've ever had!! The spice blend and the breading are perfect; not too spicy, just right. And the potato wedges, yes please, just try them! Cheese curds were legit as well. Don't be worried about their location, which shared walls with a gas station, they have top notch food here!!

Ana B.

This place is outstanding! Literally and easily the best fried chicken I have ever had. Their breading is so damn good. I've also had the shrimp. So. So. So good! You cannot go wrong with this place!

Best chicken in the state of Wisconsin. Quality and delicious flavor to die for. I'm actually dying for some right now lbvs

Faith S.

Crispy seasoned cod, catfish and shrimp are outstanding. Chicken wings, tenders & grilled are superb. Generous portions! I will return for these and more! Panini Philly steak sandwich was perfection! Potato wedges are huge and nicely seasoned. Over-the-top are their special sauces. They are extraordinarily tasty & spicy, with international flavor. Crispy Kitchen offers a chicken shawarma platter, which is my absolute favorite! Be patient and phone ahead! A great meal takes some time. Located by a gas station, next to a convenience store.

Chicken surprisingly very good. Call ahead because everything is made to order and you'll be stuck waiting for 1/2 hour.
