    The Crispy Boi!
    Sebastian B.

    Another Diners Drive inns and Dives visit for me. These places are normally great. How crispy is far beyond great it's mind blowing game changing amazing!!! The sandwiches are tremendous. You can choose white or dark meat which is a nice touch. It's not just a sandwich it's an event. Crispy, sticky, unkcious, chewy, moist, crunchy, gooey, and satisfying. PRO TIP... sit close to the napkin dispenser. This is a life changing experience!!!! The gentleman behind the counter was a prince. He Sheparded me through the process and even gave me some parking advice. The joint is poppy and clever. Decor is interesting and really fun. There's plenty of seating inside there's counter space and outside there's a patio with funky club music playing and lots of things to see. You must come here just make sure you are ready for a giant delicious unique treat.

    Stopped by How Crispy and was really impressed. The chicken sandwich was delicious--crisely, flavorful, and satisfying. Prices were very affordable, which made it even better. Shout-out to Will, who was so friendly and welcoming. His hospitality honestly elevated the whole experience. Will definitely be back!

    LEMON PEPPER WET
    Alec B.

    Dope little sandwich spot! I had the lemon pepper wet chicken sandwich with white meat (they ask dark or white which is a nice option). It was more of a buffalo sauce and didn't have much lemon pepper. Comes with ranch but I think if they added blue cheese or crumbles that would add a nice touch to the sauce combo. Chicken was super thick and juicy. Yucca fries were interesting. I enjoyed them but almost felt like they were dehydrated then fried? Almost a little to dried out. Would probably go with the regular fries next time. Overall a very good chicken sandwich but not really one that stands out from the others. They have a few other options that sound great. The house sauce and their honey garlic was amazing. Would recommend if you are in the area!

    The honey boi sandwich was superb. I liked how they asked if we wanted white or dark meat. Not a lot of chicken sandwich places have this option. The chicken (dark meat is the way to go) was oh so juicy and tender. Each bite was messy with the garlic honey butter sauce. The smokey lime mayo also didn't help. Just have some napkins handy. And with each hearty chicken bite, the sesame slaw and sweet pickles provided nice flavor and texture contrasts. They make this sucker when you order so it won't be an immediate turnaround. But when you do get it, it will be pipping hot. The interior had some seats, but there were also outdoor seats with a good amount under the covered patio.

    How Crispy Express was good. Their service was fast. We sat outside. They had a nice patio. Also their bathroom was pretty, especially the ceiling. We had the classic sandwich and the honey boi sandwich. It was good. We also both got sweet tea. The sweet tea was good too. It was a nice local restaurant.

    A cute little spot, the staff greeted me with a smile and the food was up really quickly. The chicken themed play on fast food is a nice spot in an area I never stopped at before but definitely will come back. It's beside a bbq place and bar Food: The chicken nuggets: they looked home made, definitely not frozen. They're cut and seasons in house and fried fresh. They remind me of home made food YuckA fries: they were super crispy but a few were super oily and gave me slightly a stomach ace

    The chicken sandwiches are delicious! I visited this restaurant for the first time and ordered the lemon pepper sandwich. The chicken was delicious and very juicy. I also ordered the bread pudding which was also delicious. I will definitely visit this place again.

    Special Chili Lime Chicken Wings

    We ate at How Crispy tonight for the special collaboration with Ticonderoga Club. The Speedie Boi sandwich was delicious, as expected. We also ordered the Chili Lime Chicken wings and they were fantastic as well. The patio was perfect on a fall night and the fans kept a breeze blowing. The staff is always friendly and the food is consistently on point. If you haven't been to How Crispy, you are missing out.

    LEMON PEPPER WET MAC & CHEESE
    Anna J.

    So excited to finally have tried this place!! It closes so early so it's a struggle to get here. It's fast casual and a small space but they have a great space to sit outside. I got the lemon pepper wet sandwich with mac and cheese and a drink by making it a combo. Our food was ready in less than 10 minutes which was great! Overall, this sandwich was absolutely phenomenal. A stunning sandwich truly. My one complaint is I'm not the sure the price of the sides are worth the sides. They felt small. We didn't let that ruin anything though because overall the meal was great!!

    LEMON PEPPER WET
    Megha D.

    I've been slowly making my way through Summerhill and How Crispy was next on my list! It's been hard to try because they close so early but luckily was able to come for a weeknight dinner! It's always a little tricky to find parking in Summerhill but there's a few lots and street parking nearby. It's fast casual, so we ordered at the counter and then found a seat in the outside patio. I got the lemon pepper wet sandwich, a soda, and a side of yucca fries to share with a friend. The food came out super fast which was awesome and I loved that the owner came around to check on us! The sandwich was phenomenal and I loved the sauce and how tangy it was! I was surprised at the size of the sides. My friend got mac n cheese which was a super small portion, and I got only a few yucca fries, which while big and seasoned really well, felt odd. Overall, great experience and food!

    Came for dinner and how crispy did not disappoint. The service was very friendly as well. We got two orders of the lemon pepper wet one wet dark meat and one with white. The chicken was so flavorful and crispy. For it being a wet sandwich, it was still crispy. The slaw and pickles were a good addition to the sandwich as well. I really enjoyed the lemon pepper flavor as it wasn't too overpowering but still had a good peppery finish to it. The fries here were good as well! Well seasoned and their ranch was also delicious. Overall, loved this spot and will definitely be back for the lemon pepper wet!!

    I've been wanting to try How Crispy for the longest time and was super happy to find out they now serve white chicken meat. It's counter service so so we ordered at the counter and we picked up our food once ready. We opted to sit outside while waiting for our food. They had a nice covered area for outdoor dining, though they did have some stools for indoor dining as well. I got the daily special with white meat (to be honest forgot what it's called) and my husband got the lemon pepper wet sandwich. My sandwich was super crispy thought a bit dry because it's white meat. The isla seasoning was nice and paired well with the tangy kimchi. My husband's sandwich was also very good, but he thought it tasted more like Buffalo sauce than lemon pepper. We also shared a side of yucca fries with the best dipping sauce. Thank goodness they give you moist towelettes with every order because their sandwiches are messy to eat but so worth it!

    So I went here on 1/26/2024 first time visiting definitely worth the trip. I got the Honey Boi Chicken Sandwich with Yucca Fries. The food is delicious. Good sandwich definitely worth a return trip.I want to come back in the morning one day to try the biscuits also.

    This was already hands down the best chicken sandwich in Atlanta. Now that they do wings and fries, it's over. Take all my money.

    I think it was a little pricey for what it is - I wish the sides came with the sandwich.

    Excellent service and even better food! Alan was absolutely amazing, friendly, welcoming, and…read moreincredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He took the time to patiently explain all of the options to my mom and sister, who were visiting for the first time, and made us all feel right at home. The bacon cheddar grits were delicious! They were perfectly creamy, and seasoned so well that they were unforgettable! Every bite of our meal was fantastic. Between the exceptional food and the top-notch service, this was a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back!

    Good southern spot!…read more My friend came by here for a snack, and they did not disappoint. There is a good amount of parking for Hattie B's, and there is a pay to park lot next door as well. We got the pimento Mac and cheese cups, some miller lites, and the peach cobbler. The Mac and cheese was amazing, definitely a must try. The peach cobbler was good but the filling tasted like it was canned and the crust wasn't crispy. Next time I come by, I'd definitely want to try their banana pudding. The employees working were super nice and helpful. They were quick to take our orders and brought out our food very fast. I also liked that they had a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, this seems like a fun place to grab a drink with friends.

    Located downtown, there are a few parking spots on the street as well as several parking garages…read morenearby. It's within easy walking distance from several motels. There is a large sign on the side of building. Entering from the street, there is a ramp down to the counter and seating area. Seating is mostly tables with a few stools at the counter. There is a sign above the counter on the right for takeout orders. The menu is simple. It's fried chicken. There are sides like slaw and baked beans with a few appetizers, but mostly it's chicken. Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.
