Juicy chicken with a nice crunchy coat. Fast drive thru at 5:30 pm. Mash potatoes and rolls were also really good. Highly recommended!

The facility was very clean and inviting! From the time we arrived, the staff was super friendly, helpful and conversational. I don't know if the gentleman was the manager or owner, but he and the team member at the register answered questions asked about our group that came in and provided great feedback on what to order (rolls at lunch and evening are the best!). He even came by the table to check on us all and be sure we had all our order. That food basket in the picture, those are FRESH tenders! And let me tell you don't miss the fried okra! Also, there was nothing on the payment system asking for tips.. really!

Best chicken. But I have had their fish and chicken livers and gizzards..

Love the chicken here and the service is always great. The sweet tea will give you diabetes with how much sugar is added, it tastes so good! Place is always clean and you can usually get a table if you come just a little earlier than the lunch rush. They get pretty busy sometimes. I suggest the #1, you will usually get more than just the 4 piece that you pay for, corn nuggets are good too. Try it out if you are in the area.

I stopped by today just before 11:30 on my way to work. The young man working the drive thru taking orders was incredibly rude. He would not let me speak to place my order & seemed frustrated when I wanted to add a 2nd meal. When I got to the window, I met Pwggy though, she made the entire experience 100% better. She was smiling, kind, helpful & just an absolute delight. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine, Peggy. You are appreciated.

The little girl at the front counter (I think her name was Brianna) was friendly, polite, and answered all my questions. Food was decent.
