    Every time I go here it's fast, fresh, and friendly. Great tasting chicken and sides that's fast, but not fast food. Delicious.

    Nice

    The food is awesome, not overcooked. The service is amazing and it's kind of like a converted diner.

    Cute license plate decorations

    This is a small hole-in-the-wall mom and pop shop right on Jeff. Hwy. They are cheap, fast, and serve fresh tasty food! One thing I LOVED about this shop is that it was extremely clean. The counters were clean, the walls were clean, the floors were clean, the cooking area was clean... everything was clean! The staff were friendly, and you could see them hard at work as they bring giant trays of breaded chicken to fry up right in front of you. The food is very reasonably priced with good portions. Their fried chicken, biscuits and side (red beans and rice) were yummy. I love cheap, tasty eats that leave you full!

    I want to preference that this was a DoorDash order. When the food arrived the chicken was still hot. I ordered the three piece dark, 6-piece chicken nugget, and fries. The fires were just the right amount of crunch and soft. I saw previous reviews that said the chicken was spicy I don't agree with that. The chicken was seasoned and you could tell there was pepper, but it was not spicy. The skin was crunchy, however I wished that was seasoned as well. You can tell the chicken was seasoned but not the flour that it was coated in. The reason for the four stars is the chicken nuggets. Nuggets seemed just barely a step up from McDonalds, so I'm assuming they were frozen and they just fried them. Being that this is a Mom and Pop shop would have thought they would have been prepared in house. Overall the fried chicken itself was really good, and I would go back! The price was pretty great! Definitely would buy local over chain fried chicken restaurants.

    Well I'm on a mission to find some fried chicken that could be remotely close to Willie Mae's chicken since they are out of business here in New Orleans. Unfortunately, I still haven't found it. However, this fried chicken is still legit. It checks almost all of the boxes of crave-able fried chicken. It won't bring a tear to your eye and you probably won't necessarily dream about it when you travel back to your destination (clears throat to Willie Mae's ). But it's good. It's crunchy, spicy and juicy. You don't have to go out of your way to try it but if you're in the area, it's not a bad option. I would say it's Popeyes adjacent for a decent price. I got a 3 piece mixed (breast, wing, drumstick) with a biscuit for seven dollars and some change. Hope this helps :)

    We got two 3 peace, dark meat, chicken, two things mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits and drinks

    The service was great to everybody was friendly. This is a wonderful little hole in the wall southern pride, chicken place to eat my husband has never been to Louisiana so we asked around to a couple locals for the best style chicken that was Louisiana flavor. And this is the place that we were recommended. . Now the food that we had, the chicken had amazing flavor and the outer shoveled the chicken was amazing. I'm not one who likes coleslaw and their coleslaw was wonderful. I had the right amount of sweetness and tartness. And we also had mashed potatoes and those were good.

    One word ( unbelievable) chicken cooked to perfection. Onion rings and fries were great. You sit and eat or take home. Service was very polite. Prices were awesome!

    Criselda C.

    Service is fast! The food is great too! The onion rings were excellent and I really enjoyed the crunchiness, yet somewhat flakiness, of the batter for the fried shrimp. It wasn't doughy and the batter didn't fall off easily. The shrimp was fresh. Oh and the fried okra was nicely done too.

    They have the best chicken & Fish and Fries It's better than "Cane's" can't go wrong It's always Hot & Fresh

    One of the best fried chicken I've tried in town (so far). Located close to the hospital (5 minute drive), you will be greeted by these crispy, tender, aromatic chickens. The tenders are the size of my fists and just eating five will make you full. Oh and their biscuits are glazed with a sweet honey(?) sauce. I wish their sauce selections were better - it doesn't seem to be house made which is totally fine but I'm a sucker for house made hot sauces.

Adam Carola or some dude like that came here one time I think…read more I was super stressed and didn't want to interact with any humans so I got these wings to go and headed back to the hotel. I had seen some news about them at some point, I love chicken wings, and it looked good. It's take out only. Not much to see besides the menu and the pictures of Adam and some other dudes. You can see the kitchen, little shotgun style place. I asked some questions about the sauce heat levels and ordered what he equated to medium regular buffalo I think. The names are strange to me. Just say Buffalo!!! Ugh. The wings were flavored very well, I liked the sauce a lot. The fries had a nice seasoning on them as well. The packaging absolutely ruined the food. It was all soaked when I opened it. That really sucked. It was about a 15 minute ride. They packed it in a wax lined, fully sealed box, similar to an Asian food box. It simply steamed the food while I drove. Bad move guys. I could not even eat the fries, they were just mush. Wings had a slight crispness in some spots after I left them open for 20 mins or so to dehydrate. As I said, the sauce was great so I did eat the wings. The wings are probably really good I bet if they were not ruined by the packing. 3 stars for the flavor. '26 - 96

I said no, I don't like mayo, seriously? And they give me fresh bun (not toasted) with the same mayo smothered toppings. That's a training / lack of manager issue. It takes all of 1min to prep a few things on top of a sandwich I waited 45min for. So unacceptable.

I tried the hibachi grilled shrimp, fried rice, snow crab salad, and a drink ($17 for the whole thing). It was good, zero complaints! It was 16 pieces of grilled shrimp on a bed of salad. The fried rice was well seasoned. The snow crab salad on the side in a little cup was pretty good too (yes, it's imitation crab, they can't serve real crab for that price lol) One thing to note, it's very casual here, so it is mostly self-serve.

The chicken, shrimp and steak were all cooked good but the rice had no flavor. One of us had a fried noodle and steak bowl. The grandkids had the sushi dual combo which is really a good price and they loved it. The snow crab salad was good but a bit mushy. I think this would be a go to spot for anyone nearby who loves sushi. Very reasonably priced.
