    Chicken breast and fries
    Tomas H.

    I have Driven by here many times and wondered how it is. Well today I stopped and man I'm happy. Very good and hot chicken. Got 3 pieces 2 legs and a breast and fries and some Fried okra. The seasoning was good and everything was hot and fresh. I may pick this over Rudy's chicken for now on.

    Two of my lovely thighs!

    Chicken House has been a favorite for many years. I have a Popeye's and a Golden Chick within walking distance of me, but I can't be bothered with that nonsense. I make the 20 minute drive to Chicken House whenever I get that craving. The best chicken is when they first open but consistently good all day long, super crispy and nicely seasoned. Last time I was there I ordered ice tea. I really only drink unsweet tea but I really wanted something to drink and the only other options was sodas (or maybe water, I guess). Wow, this was the best sweet tea I have ever had. So strange but I will order it again.

    I've been curious about this place for some time, even when it was Brother's Chicken. Last night after happy hour I was feeling a little hungry. There aren't many drive-through options driving down Gaston, so I was prepared to make something at home. But then I saw the OPEN sign on the Chicken House so I made a quick turn to the drive-through. Ordering from the drive-through proved to be challenging, as the person taking my order didn't understand me, and I didn't understand him. I went ahead and pulled up to the window and ordered from a sweet lady. After taking my order, she asked me to pull around, which drives me nuts when there's no one behind me. But whatever. I ordered the chicken finger basket and it took forever for it to come out (pro-tip: call ahead). Finally home I enjoyed the chicken very much. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. The gravy was good, although it didn't taste homemade or anything, but that was okay with me. The two pieces of white bread were a nice addition as well as the fries. The fries were greasy, but they tasted gooOOOd. If I'm ever in a pinch again for fast food I'll remember Chicken House for a future visit, fo sho!

    Entrance to drive through is on the right side of the building (north side)

    Hot and delicious fried chicken at a great price! Super fast and friendly drive through service. Got the chicken dinner with 2 thighs for $5.25. Came with fries, 2 slices of bread, some pickles and pickled jalapeño. They even have a cheaper option to get chicken by the piece, which is what I'll do next time, cause the chicken is so good, that's all I need!

    Old school chicken spot! Chicken was decent could use more seasoning. Fries were cooked on order and crispy.

    We came here on a whim. A last-minute brunch decision. Nothing planned. No expectations. And what…read morefollowed was a core memory in three courses and a complimentary Bloody Mary shot accompanied by the cutest green olive. The moment we walked in, it felt like home, but not in the "kick off your shoes" way. No, this was the "you're safe here, baby" kind of home. The vibe? Cozy. Elevated. Like Restoration Hardware met someone emotionally stable. Elliott was our server and an absolute delight. Joseph was the manager, casually spreading joy like Oprah with a tray of Bloody Mary shots. Amber... now let me pause here, because this woman deserves a paragraph of her own. Amber isn't just a GM. She's the kind of soul you meet once and never forget. When I asked for her to come to our table just to pay her a compliment, we both practically teared up. She received it with open arms, no ego, no deflection, just pure, gracious presence. I was mid-sentence and suddenly I had that Creed song stuck in my head. You know the one. "With arms wide open..." That's the kind of energy she brought to the entire restaurant. Amber made every person in that room feel like they mattered. Not because it's her job, but because it's who she is. She's fresh off earning her master's in hospitality, and if that degree came with a crown, she's wearing it. The Porch doesn't just run smoothly. It runs on Amber energy. But let's talk about the moment I saw God. Cornbread Eggs Benedict: Not crab. Not salmon. Corn. Bread. And not just any cornbread. The softest, fluffiest, most cuttable cloud of golden glory I've ever had the pleasure of annihilating with a fork. A fork, not a steak knife. Do you understand how rare that is? Normally I'm out here sawing through an English muffin like I'm in a lumberjack competition. This? Melted like butter. Tasted like a hug. 12/10. Incredible. And then, as if the eggs benny enlightenment wasn't enough, Joseph reappears with a tray of free Bloody Mary shots for the entire restaurant. With olives. For everyone. The joy? Immediate. The energy? Electric. The crowd? Unified. I watched a grandmother at the next table raise her glass like the queen she is. I nearly cried. This wasn't service. This was a masterclass in human connection. Restaurants can be transactional. Robotic. This was the opposite. This was care, intention, soul. My high school principal once said: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit of extra." The Porch brought extra, bagged it, garnished it, and served it on a tray. Final thought: If you're not brunching here, I'm concerned. If you are? I'll raise my Bloody Mary shot to you. And Amber, if you ever run for mayor, you've already got my vote. I'll run your campaign and show up in a custom t-shirt.

    I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, so I finally decided to celebrate my birthday…read morehere and I'm so glad I did! At first, I was a little hesitant because the menu is fairly small, but after my meal, I can see why. Every dish we ordered was absolutely a 10/10. I had the chicken with greens and shrimp fried rice, along with the fried green tomatoes and cornbread. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about either the food or the service. This was an amazing dining experience, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    I had high hopes for this location because I absolutely love Radici, and everyone has been…read morerecommending Roots to me. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had. I do want to start with the positives. Our waiter was fantastic. He was very attentive, explained the menu thoroughly, and provided excellent service. The food also came out incredibly fast and piping hot, which is becoming rare these days. We started with the cornbread, and it was easily a 10/10. It was worth every bit of the $12. We ordered the fried chicken, greens, shrimp fried rice, biscuits, and hot water cornbread. The fried chicken was crispy and tender, but it lacked seasoning. I'd give it a 7/10. They served it with a house hot sauce, but surprisingly it had no heat and almost no flavor. I even asked the person I was dining with if they tasted anything because it was like pouring sauce on the chicken without changing the flavor at all. The greens were just okay on their own, but once we added the vinegar they became amazing. That made me wonder why the vinegar isn't incorporated into the greens from the start. The hot water cornbread had virtually no flavor. The shrimp fried rice was cooked really well, but it had an unexpected Caribbean-style seasoning that threw me off. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting, and it made it hard to fully enjoy. The biscuits were probably the biggest disappointment. They were dry and hard. One thing I also noticed is that, for a family style restaurant where you're encouraged to order several dishes to share, the tables feel too small. Once all the food arrived, there wasn't much room left, and even packing up our leftovers was awkward because of the lack of space. One standout that deserves recognition was the iced tea. It had what tasted like a subtle hint of mint and was incredibly refreshing. Easy 10/10. From the cuts of chicken we received, it appears they break down and fry whole chickens, which is perfectly fine. However, at $56 for a fried chicken that lacked seasoning, I found the price hard to justify. Maybe the cooking method or oil contributes to the cost, but I expected much more flavor for that price. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 7.5/10. Would I come back? Yes. I'd be willing to give Roots another chance and try something different from the menu. But when I hear Southern food, I expect bold seasoning and comforting flavors, and that's the one area where this meal really fell short.
