Smokin Chicken was one of my absolute favorite places to eat. The chimichurri chicken was always…read moreperfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor, and the hummus was hands down some of the best I've ever had. Every meal tasted fresh, and the service was always friendly and welcoming. I'm so sad they closed because it's one of those restaurants that's really hard to replace. They will definitely be missed!

Summary: Fast food variations on chicken with sides of Southern comfort foods…read more An off night. That's what I think we had after reading the other reviews. Stopping here for supper, first there were the dark bathrooms that wouldn't light. Along with that electrical issue, an ear-splitting and head jarring smoke or other alarm went off every few minutes for about 15 minutes. Order taking was interrupted often when the counter employee shifted to incoming phone calls. That employee didn't know pulled chicken portion sizes in ounces and approximated with his hands. All of this created a dubious dining experience before we even finished ordering! This spot offers a variety of chicken recipes: roasted, BBQ, Caribbean, pulled, fried, and more. Sides includes Southern standards like mac and cheese, yellow rice, greens, coleslaw, and others. The pulled (shredded) chicken was overly seasoned with black pepper. Roasted chicken was a bit dry. The BBQ chicken laden with sweet sauce was the best of the chicken choices. Creamy coleslaw was 'meh' and lacked flavor. Rice, too, was just okay. Northern beans were nicely seasoned and well cooked. Pita triangles seemed an odd accompaniment since no sauce or dip was provided and they were too small to make sandwiches. Overall, the restaurant seemed understaffed, which could account for the messy tables and dirty floor.

bb.q Chicken is a must-try if you love crispy fried chicken! The Honey Garlic chicken is my…read moreabsolute favorite--it's perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in the most delicious sweet and savory sauce. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the quality is always consistent. If you're trying bb.q Chicken for the first time, I can't recommend the Honey Garlic enough. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Been wanting to try this place for a long time. I finally made a stopped in at BB.Q Chicken in…read moreClarksville, and overall it was a solid experience. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe -- clean, well‐lit, with a layout that works for both dine‐in and takeout. What I liked: 1. The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful without being overly greasy. We got the Golden Original and Soy Garlic. The Golden Original has a kick to it but nice flavor. The Soy Garlic was a bit garlicky you can taste the powdered garlic. Nice balance of sweet, savory and salty. 2. The sides were fresh and well‐seasoned -- the pickled radish had a nice balance of tang and sweetness. 3. Staff were friendly and he was on his phone most of the time wasn't attentive at all. What could improve- the staff at the counter. There was a guy waiting on his food his food came out and was ready but the staff just stood there on his phone and didn't check. Good thing the guy was cool and didn't complain. Final thoughts If you're in the area and craving good fried chicken with a laid‐back feel, this is a solid pick. It may not be perfect, but it delivers. I'd go back -- and next time I'll try one of the spicier options.

We held a small celebration and came to Naru for Korean bbq. We went with the unlimited option…read morebecause we wanted to try numerous meat options. Naru has more meat options than many other places I have been. As to banchan (sides), they are very good. They will be refilled as you finish a bowl. Numerous options but were preselected for out menu option. You can ask your server for some cooking tips and to get the flame adjusted. The booths have higher sides giving privacy. Lots of wood and darker colors have a calming admosphere. As you enter there is a large pig figurine collection, cute.

I first visited this restaurant in April 2025 while my company was contracted to work at the nearby…read moreHankook Tire and LG Chem plants. At that time, the restaurant was located at the far end of the Kroger mall. The food was good--authentic Korean flavors I've enjoyed all my life. After they relocated to a freestanding building a few hundred feet away, my colleagues and I were excited to return. During the transition period, we had been visiting other Korean restaurants because the previous location had closed and the new one had not yet opened. When the new building finally opened, I was initially impressed by the interior décor and dining setup. Unfortunately, the quality of the food had declined significantly. During a lunch visit, a few colleagues and I ordered the Spicy Galbi Stew - SPICY being the key word. When the dish arrived, the stew was unusually dark, and we couldn't identify anything in it until we tasted it. The first impression was disappointing: it was extremely sweet with absolutely zero spiciness. It tasted like bland meatloaf mixed with an excessive amount of sugar, which explained the dark, caramelized color. After a few bites, none of us could continue eating. When paying the bill, I jokingly told the server they should rename the dish "Sweet, Sweeter, Overly Sweet Galbi Stew." Unfortunately, the worst experience came a few days later. Again during lunch, several coworkers and I ordered 되지국밥dwaeji-gukbap - a beloved Korean staple and comfort food. When the bowls arrived, the dish looked nothing like traditional gukbap. The broth was covered in pepper oil, heavily dusted with black pepper, and overwhelmingly salty, as if an entire jar of salt had been poured in. After one or two bites, we all looked at each other in disbelief. We called the server over to express our concerns. While speaking with the server, I glanced toward the open kitchen and noticed that none of the cooks were Korean. At that moment, it became clear why the flavors were so far from authentic. Anyone can cook, but mastering Korean cuisine - especially soul food, requires understanding, experience, and proper guidance. At the very least, there should be one Korean chef to train and guide the kitchen staff. That day became our last visit. A few weeks later, we returned only because we were invited by executives from another company for a BBQ dinner. We chose the full-choice BBQ set. The meats were bland, and the grill was so hot that everything burned quickly, forcing us to swap grills repeatedly just to keep the food edible. I've noticed many non-Korean diners praising this restaurant, but the dishes being served are not an accurate representation of Korean cuisine.
