I don't usually go out of my way for fast food. But today? I did. I made the trip. I committed…read more Because when it comes to Raising Cane's, I'm usually all in. That's what made this one sting a little. Let me set the stage. I pull up to the Kissimmee location already knowing what I'm getting. This place has one job. Chicken. Not a massive menu. Not a bunch of distractions. Just chicken, fries, toast, slaw. Simple. Focused. The kind of setup where you expect consistency every single time. And then the tray hit the table. The chicken? Bland. Like no one introduced it to seasoning. And somehow also soggy. You know that moment when you bite in expecting that crispy crunch and instead you get... soft confusion? Yeah. That. It honestly felt like the oil wasn't hot enough. Which is kind of a big deal when frying is your entire identity. Now here's where it gets even more frustrating. Cane's sauce is usually the safety net. It can cover a lot of sins. Underseasoned chicken? Fine. Dip it, save it, move on. But it cannot fix texture. It cannot create crunch out of thin air. And when the crisp isn't there, the whole thing falls flat. The fries didn't do much to help the situation. Underdone. Under salted. Just kind of there. Taking up space. Not offensive, just disappointing. Like they almost made it to the finish line and then decided to clock out early. And here's the part that really gets me. When you only do one thing, you have to nail it. Every time. No excuses. No off days. No close enough. This isn't a diner with a 10-page menu. This is chicken. How do you forget to make it crispy? Now, credit where it's due. The Texas toast? Still elite. Buttery, golden, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The coleslaw? Fresh, crisp, actually refreshing. And the staff here? Friendly, efficient, and the food came out quick. No complaints on the service side at all. So now I'm sitting there having this internal debate. Because I know what Raising Cane's can be. And this wasn't it. somewhere in the middle of that meal it hit me that I went out of my way for this and got a version that felt like it cut corners That's a tough pill to swallow in an area like Kissimmee where you've got options everywhere you turn. Great food is not hard to find around here. Which makes subpar chicken stand out even more. Three stars. And that feels generous based on the sides and the service carrying the weight. But let's be clear. I'm usually a five star guy when it comes to Raising Cane's. This just wasn't that day. And when your whole brand is built on doing one thing right, you don't get a pass when that one thing misses.

I'll admit, I feel a wee bit weary when a restaurant has no patrons, but we took a chance and went…read morein anyway to get some food to go. We were greeted by a friendly lady at the cash register, and after checking out the menu, we placed our order: two 6-piece chicken wings, one 12-piece chicken wings, and one 3-piece chicken tenders. We got two of the wing orders tossed in their signature Kinfolks sauce, one in lemon pepper, and the tenders plain with a side of BBQ sauce. All of our meals came with fries. Let me just say--the food was really good. The wings and tenders were flavorful and cooked well, but the real star was that Kinfolks sauce. Absolutely awesome! The only downside was the lemon pepper wings. Unfortunately, the lemon flavor was way too strong and overpowering, which took away from the overall enjoyment of those wings. Aside from that, it was a pretty good experience. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, great food (especially that Kinfolks sauce!), and definitely worth a return visit!

As a devoted DFB subscriber, I went into Chicken Guy already knowing AJ's take -- better than…read moreaverage, better than Chick-fil-A, but firmly in the mid tier. After my visit I can confirm: that's exactly right. Let's start with the good, because some of it is genuinely great. The space is clean and well maintained, with staff actively clearing and resetting tables at an impressive pace. For a fast casual concept, the fact that food is brought directly to your table is a thoughtful touch that elevates the experience above its category. And then there are the fries. My stomach is practically rumbling typing this. Freshly fried, crispy and golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and served piping hot. They're genuinely hard to compare to anything else -- unique enough to stand on their own. If Chicken Guy sold only fries, I'd be a loyal regular. The chicken, though -- the whole reason for the name -- left me with questions. Hot and fresh, absolutely. But the interior had a wateriness that crossed from "juicy" into something that actually diluted the flavor. Combined with a sweet and sour sauce so thin it refused to cling to the tenders, the whole thing fell a little flat. I found myself wondering whether the chicken had been moisture-injected, because it tasted more hydrated than flavorful. In the Orlando heat that might technically be a feature -- but a good tender should be able to stand on its own before the sauce ever enters the picture. I'd return -- the fries alone make it worth it. But I'd experiment with a different sauce and temper expectations on the chicken itself.

I think about Cowboy chicken a lot. There really is nothing else like it around here. Long gone…read moreare the days of Boston Market, and Cowboy Chicken fills that empty void. Their slow cooked rotisserie chicken is SOOO GOOD!!! I've heard great things about their chicken fingers, but I keep going back for the rotisserie. Maybe one of these days I'll give 'em a try. My go to sides are mashed potatoes, black beans, and broccoli. Again, I want to try the rest, but I keep going back to what's familiar to me. Oh! The lemonade! So they have this spicy jalapeno lemonade, that I've found when mixed with their unsweetened tea is my new favorite drink. They also have beer and wine, and rumor has it, you can get your beer and wine discounted on rainy days! I'd honestly give this place six stars if that were an option. Yee Haw!

We stopped here to grab dinner to go since we are staying nearby. For our convenience, we ordered…read moreonline which was very easy. Once we arrived for pick up, we waited at the outdoor tables. The restaurant was somewhat busy but the team was working hard and very nice despite how busy they were. We purchased the family dinner for 4, which included chicken tenders, choice of rolls or chips and salsa, 3 sides, and a dessert. This also included 4 different dipping sauces. We waited quite a long time but everything was packaged correctly and conveniently. You get quite a lot of chicken but it's served in a large tray that can be stored in the fridge if you have leftovers. It definitely feeds 4 adults so if you are a family of 4 with young kids, this could easily feed you twice. Our side choices were green beans, white cheddar Mac n cheese, and seasoned french fries. The dessert choice was peach cobbler. This was a good meal - nothing fancy but the food tasted great. I would opt for the dinner in the future because of what a good deal it is.

While this isn't my go to spot for hot chicken I definitely must say it's a good alternative if I don't wanna drive that far out as for a chain they definitely do it right! Totally have to give a shoutout to the staff working here as they were all totally cool with positive friendly vibes making for an excellent customer service experience! Overall yummy hot goodness should I come back I'm going for the top level of heat as I just love when things burn my mouth from spicy goodness!

There were some really good sounding shakes also but I didn't get to try one on this trip, I'll just have to come back soon to give one a try! The restaurant itself was a little bit dirty and could use a good sweeping/table wiping but that's really my only complaint.

The taste was incredible, and their gravy and jelly made it even better. The chicken and waffles were crispy and full of flavor. Their French toast was also fantastic if you're looking for a large portion. I didn't see anyone disappointed with their meals. Highly recommended.

Their website didn't seem to be working correctly so I ended up calling. The woman on the line was really friendly. We ordered a couple of pizzas, a garden salad and a smash burger.

Now the food...the pizza was just okay. I think we are spoiled from being from Pittsburgh with Pizza. The smash burger was A+! The jalapeños were a great touch. I would 100% order again. Everything was reasonably priced and there wasn't a delivery fee. Great first experience with JT's. Would definitely order again!

Located in the Seville plaza, The Jamaican Dumpling Restaurant not only serves Jamaican cuisine but also Trinidadian roti. After greeting a male employee behind the counter, I placed an order for the guava bbq chicken which was served with rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and a side of fried plantain. After my order was ready in about 15 minutes, I sat at an available table to enjoy my meal. The steamed cabbage was tasty with a crunchy texture. The rice and peas was cooked to a soft consistency. The plantain were fried nicely. The star of the show was the chicken--tender pieces of meat covered in a sweet flavored sauce that had me sucking my fingers. My compliments to the cook, for the food was very enjoyable.
