Reviews
"When I walked in it was no other customers in the building so I assumed it was going to take long at all. One cashier and one cook coming to find out food took over 30 minutes to come out. Macaroni and cheese and greens was lukewarm chicken was fried fresh but burnt on the top will not be back. Server never came to check on us or to say what’s going on with the food. The sweet potato pie was frozen. It was not even warm when brought out. I won’t be back I wasn’t impressed at all ."
"Reminds me of a little supermarket that had the best after church chicken when I was growing up. I see why the chicken is "world famous". Sit down and take a load off, because it's going to be really good, they're going to cook it fresh, but it will take a few minutes. The fried pickles are terrific. Also, loved the greens."
"This was my first time coming here. I’m gonna go ahead and just say it even tho people won’t believe me. This was the BEST chicken I have ever put in my mouth. I can’t believe how good the food was. I already can’t wait to go back. If you like to eat then you NEED to go here."
"Visited this restaurant at the beckoning of my husband. He'd eaten here on several occasions and enjoyed the chicken and the sides. I ordered wings with mac n cheese and turnips. We also had fried green tomatoes.I was surprised because I wasn't expecting the chicken to be spicy, but I should've known because that's my husband's preference. The chicken was cooked perfectly otherwise. I truly enjoyed the tomatoes and turnips most of all. A good time had with the husband. So it was a good experience."
