    Nashville Hot Chicken
    Davon G.

    I checked out Burnt Chicken and this spot was an ultimate vibe. From the moment you walk in, it feels like a true Black-owned spot with great energy and flavor all around. I tried three items including the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, which had a fire rub and a tasty sauce on the side. The mac and cheese was nice and creamy, and the banana foster made for the perfect dessert to finish off the night. There's street parking available, and the prices are pretty good, not too expensive at all. The service was dope and the employees were super nice, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

    My wife and I had been hearing a lot about this St Paul hidden gem, so we finally decided to check it out for ourselves. When we walked in, it wasn't too busy, which I actually liked. A young man greeted us right away and gave us the option of a booth or a table, we went with a booth. He came back shortly after to take our drink order. I asked about the hibiscus lemonade, and when he said it was really good, I gave it a try. My wife got a Diet Coke. For food, we shared the Cajun mac and cheese, she ordered the voodoo smash burger, and I went with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It took a little while for the food to come out, and there was a small mix-up with the order, however they fixed it quickly and made things right. The food was excellent, seasoned perfectly and full of flavor. My chicken sandwich had the perfect amount of spice, and my wife really liked her burger. She's already talking about wanting to come back and try more things off the menu. The place itself has a cozy, slightly old-school vibe that we both liked. Everything looked clean, and the young man who helped us was polite, attentive and helpful. Even with the little hiccup, they handled it well, and that goes a long way with me. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'll definitely return.

    Highly underrated spot of the East side! Friendly people who care about bringing good food and experiences to the community and I'm happy to keep supporting them. I was so happy to see this place open and everyone I recommend it to loves it. Unfortunately the only parking is street parking which can be hard on Payne but it's well worth it.

    Don't judge this book by its cover. My buddy and I met here for lunch and we really enjoyed it. The place was casual, clean, and cozy inside but the outside didn't look great. The food lived up to the pics and reports I had seen beforehand. The fries were crispy and well seasoned (cajon dry rub) and my chicken sandwich was tasty. We had ranch and comeback sauce to dip but our server brought us a garlic aioli that was her fave. All were good. I would definitely try this place again. Loved the vibe and the food. It did get noisy when more people showed up (one was a loud talker), so that made it difficult to have a conversation, but I definitely recommend. Also, I did see a lot of pick orders while we were there, so this place has a well-deserved, good rep.

    A brand new spot, and definitely going to be coming back here. The food was super good, the Mac and cheese was the best I've ever had, and the Burnt Chicken sandwich was to die for. All the other people I went with loved their food as well. The service was fast, and friendly, and I could tell the Chefs had a very strong handle on the kitchen, nothing leaves unless it's high quality. The ambiance was really nice, the space is very welcoming, and bright. I highly recommend trying this place out, I can tell it's going to become a neighborhood staple.

    @burntchkn_ was lights out! This was my fist time checking them out at their new location since opening up on Payne Ave on the East Side in St Paul. Previously, owner and cook, Bernard Collins had Burnt Chicken as a pop up operation, then he was in First Draft in Minneapolis. Now, Burnt Chicken has been operating in their own restaurant for the past year in the former Ward 6/East Side Bar. I tried three of their sandwiches and all three were insanely good: - Fried Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich: Fried Chicken Thigh, Hot Oil, Hot Seasoning, Country Slaw, House Pickles, Come Back Sauce. (The heat was a very subtle heat. You can totally do it. Great spice flavor but not "make you sweat" hot) - Bourbon Chicken Sandwich: Fried Chicken Thigh, Bourbon Glaze, Pineapple Slaw, Come Back Sauce - Voodoo Smashed Burger: 2 All Beef Patties Smashed, Voodoo Pepper Sauce, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, Provolone Cheese, and Come Back Sauce. The Voodoo Peppers Sauce was out of this world! They're close on getting their liquor license, but it's worth it to head in and try their menu! Other items include: Poboy's (shrimp and catfish), jambalaya fried rice, Cajun Mac n cheese, and Salad! DELISH!!

    Spicey Chicken Sandwhich
    Luke G.

    Honestly, it is the best spicey chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was perfection. Perfect amount of spice, the pickles, the coleslaw, on a toasted bun. The food took a long time to come out, and the staff could have been happier and more helpful. The staff was grumpy, but the chef was happy and having a great time... often welcoming people coming in and saying bye as they leave (all from behind the stove).

    Heard about this place and finally got to visit. There was street parking and it was kind of hard to find because theres no sign, but I'm sure they will fix that. Ordered 2 orders of wings, mac n cheese, and jambalaya rice. Everything was good flavor wise, the rice was a little undercooked in spots but the flavor was there. The bar isn't set up yet so for drinks I got a bottle of water and a can of coke. Staff was very friendly and even the cook spoke with us. From what I know, this is newly opened, so this review was primarily about the food since they still need to get the bar up and running. Hopefully they spruce up the place to add some of their personal branding. Wouldn't mind going back in the future to try the sandwiches.

    Nashville hot chicken and Cajun fries

    This place was so fun! I want to start off by saying the chicken was wonderfully juicy and crispy. If that is what you are looking for I cannot recommend it enough. I wasn't too impressed by the fries, and the sauce/toppings on the sandwich weren't quite as good as the chicken itself. I would say it's priced fairly I got a full stomach (and I can eat a lot) for under 20 dollars which for this quality of food is solid. It was cozy and the service was good as well. No complaints there!

    Dry rub wings
    Tippy P.

    I met up with my cousin at this new restaurant and food is delicious. We ordered the bourbon chicken sandwich and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both patties were fried to perfection, big slices, crispy and juicy. Our server was very attentive and checked in on us often. The dry rub wings were also delicious, has a kick to it also. Restaurant is actually big, lots of tables to accommodate groups and seating at the bar also available.

    This place just opened and is working out some start up growing pains. They don't appear to have their liquor license. The menu only had food options. They looked like they had ice teas or lemonades on the bar, but our server only offered us waters. The place is super cute with a fair amount of small to medium party tables. They do have a parking lot in the back. The chicken was crispy and the burger was juicy. Fries are ala carte. We did wait about 45 minutes to get food when we were one of only a few tables in the ordering phase.

    Had a wonderful time at Burnt Chicken! We tried the fried chicken sandwich and Cajun fries, the Mac and cheese, and the shrimp po boy. Absolutely delicious! The food was flavorful, well seasoned, and crispy. The po boy had a generous amount of shrimp. Great service and enjoyed the ambiance.

    We love this restaurant and Chef. We have been following him for some time and are thrilled he has his own place now. Food is made with quality ingredients and portion sizes are great for the price.

We ordered the garbage pizza and it was loaded with cheese and had a crunchy crust which was what we love. Needed a little salt and garlic salt, but it hit the spot. We also tried the lasagna after hearing great things about it. Personally, I thought they loaded it with cheese, but lacked flavor. I'm not a huge lasagna fan, but I didn't really get flavor. We tried the garlic sticks, and onion rings and the winner was the rings for me - huge chunks of onion.

We had reservations and were seated immediately. I chose the spare ribs for my dinner and Husband had the pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were served with a zesty dry rub and sauce on the side. They were nice and tender. The meal came with Texas toast which I didn't try because the ribs were sitting right on top of it. It also had a piece of corn on the cob. Wish my meal would have been a titch hotter in temp but the food was tasty. We finished with the smoky crème brûlée which was delicious. The layout was cozy and dark with the bar at the center. I could see it being lively and loud on a busy night. Service was excellent. We took our time ordering and never felt rushed. Our food came out super fast. The staff worked as a great team.

First up was my drink Prosecco with a side of Elderflower liqueur because there was no St. Germain. Close to the flavor tho! It was actually quite yummy as well. Then I placed my ordered... I went with the HOG BREAKFAST PARTY which contains 2 Eggs, Greens, Bacon or Sausage, Roadside Potatoes, Biscuit. I loved the roadside potatoes, and I opted for sausage was equally good. The green I would suggest a little more umph in it and the eggs were standard. Overall a decent 3 out of 5 meal. I would like to go back and try the regular menu. Remember I said I sat around 1115a, it was long until 1210p that I noticed my food hasn't arrived. Spoke with our waiter who was apologetic and on the hunt to see what's going on. It was in this moment that I realized this business takes their customers seriously. The waiter returned to advise the kitchen was running behind, but his manager would be out to speak with us. Upon arrival the manager advised he had some research and noticed we had been waiting a very long time. By this time food arrived at 1227P. He informed us that the bill was taken care of and gave a gift card for the inconvenience. We assured him that taking care of the bill was enough but he insisted we take the gift card as well. That's amazing customer service. Thank you to the manager and waiter for such excellent care.

Mind you there were only maybe 25 guests in the whole place. From what we could tell most of the staff was either outside or nowhere to be seen, including the bartender. After waiting that 15 minutes we were able to place our food and drink orders (2 beers and 3 lemonades). Food came out relatively quick, quality was average. Didn't give us silverware with our food, and waited a solid 5 minutes. Didn't see any staff. Friend went to go find someone, and instead was yelled at by the bartender. Took 20 minutes for the server to come back and one of my friends was able to order their second drink. After 30 minutes and still no lemonades, my friend had to complain to the bartender. The bartender then replied very rudely with, "oh, well I'll tell your sever". No apology or attempt to remedy the situation themselves. Mind you we could see the half full pitcher of lemonade the whole time (being completely ignored). Finally lemonades were brought out - just in time for us to be done with our meals. Lemonades were comped - thankfully otherwise I would have spoken to the manager. All in all the entire staff was very rude. With one exception, one of the kitchen staff was actually expo-ing food more than the servers. And he was the only one to ask us how are food was.
