    Ordered a family meal with the 12 pc dark bone in fried chicken with two sides mashed potatoes with gravy & slaw. It was really good! I’m so glad to have a local fried chicken place! The slaw was good! Chicken was extra crispy as requested. Only down side was their large sides are more like a medium for two. I had four to feed, so added an extra side to my order to compensate. Also I wish they used brown gravy instead of chicken gravy for the mashed potatoes. & they were out of biscuits lol Definitely still recommend! Quick, friendly, affordable $34 yummy dinner. Yay for fried chicken!!

    Nice and clean place and great to see an independent chicken operation. Empty dining at 2:30 pm and must've been the lunch leftovers, the fish was was kinda rubbery and the breading had no crunch at all, likely from the steam, but it had a good flavor. Surprised at the packaged tartar sauce with only a couple items on the menu, I expected everything from scratch. I'm more of a purist when it comes to Fried Chicken so the commercial breading didn't work for me either, but it was crispy and the chicken meat itself was delicious, so I could see it being the average consumer's favorite. The Mac and Cheese was tasty with overcooked pasta. Bottled drinks, so only counter service. Didn't say anything, but the manager/owner seemed very nice to the others that came in.
