Stopped in on fight night with a friend for drinks. Parking was a tiny bit confusing but we were…read morepleased to know that they also own the car wash next door so there was overflow parking available over there also. Seating was pretty tight, so be prepared to make friends with your neighbor and the people standing in the walkway vibing lol. We got seated pretty quickly and were told of a 2 hour table maximum. As it got later, we could see why because the crowd started rolling in around 11pm. They also required each of us to get both a drink and food item in order to sit at a table. I got the calamari and was impressed. Great portion, crispy, hot. I really liked it. My drink? Not so much. Had a very syrupy, cough medicine taste. My friend said the same about their drink. Waitress was nice and attentive. GM was also nice and attentive. Overall traditional lounge atmosphere with loud music. Dj was pretty good and the tvs were streaming the fight. They went around giving the crowd shots at one point which I thought was pretty fun and a cute touch. Overall, nothing really blew me away.

But one order of fries taking over an hour..... ridiculous. The place is small and there was only 2 in my party. Our server, Aryel, was great, ridiculously understaffed but handled it very well.

Unethical owner knows nothing about customer service!…read more For no reason he changed the the TV and told the bartender he was not changing it back. It was the Atlanta Hawks opening night game. Out of a dozen tvs only two had the game on, which turned into one quickly! Why come to a bar to pay for service, food, and drinks and not get to watch the television that's closest to you? We were the only ones watching it at the time! And to refuse to change it back by the owner?! And why try to own a business if you know nothing about customer service??! And yes the food is salty! Stay away from this place! RATCHET

So I've been on hold for 30 minutes I get to the location they don't have a line and they are Picking up phone call orders as I stand there .mind you I'm still on hold as I'm in their presence when I told them that I was on hold for 30 minutes do you think anyone apologize???? absolutely not!!Not even the manager could apologize they were just whispering excuses to each other it seem like these girls just wanna come to work to look cute. And they're not selling any more flats well if you would've picked up the phone when I fucking called I would've figured it out instead of wasting 45 minutes of my damn life.

It was one of those nights where I just had to have something good. I had no idea what I wanted but…read moreit had to be something flavorful, good, and hearty. As I was scrolling on Yelp I came across Frozen Rooster and was immediately reminded of the goodness of their food. As such... you know where I ended up. As we know the ambiance of Frozen Rooster is amazing, I walked in, went directly to the counter and without hesitation I ordered the 3 Whole Wings with 1pc of Whiting Combo. For my side I got the Cajun Ranch Fries. Everything fried hard. Ummmmmmmmmmm!! As I sit here and type this review I can taste the memory. LoL!!!!!! Once my order was placed, I got my cups. Mixed my fruit punch and lemonade with the amazing crushed ice and took a seat. Babeeeeeeeeeeeeee. When the food came out all I could do was sit in happiness. Everything was perfectly fried hard how I wanted it. The seasonings were robust and aroused my nose through the steam. Oh my!!!! I bowed my head, said my grace, and I devoured the dish. I'm talking bite after bite after bite of flavorful, meaty, goodness perfect for a good meal on a Good Friday Night!!!! It's something about the food from Frozen Rooster. It's always flavorful and never too greasy. They understand the desire of a good meal experience and the art of curating a repeat customer. I love it here. Wings, Fish, Fries me please. Ha!

**SUPERBOWL PLATTER**…read more This was falsely advertised as a "platter" for superbowl. It came in an ugly styrofoam container, they seemed confused about the order and they only gave us 2 dressings for 30+ wings. The wings were VERY OVERCOOKED & DRY. Almost hard! Sadly, will not be ordering from here again. Maybe because it was Super Bowl they had a lot of orders, but I'm purely judging this based on this one experience I've had here. I see the reviews are good, so I'm sad I had a bad experience. Would not recommend.

While I do recall it was "cheap eats" back in the late 90s it is not as cheap now but reasonable (specials are great!) and still cheaper than most places. While the locals are familiar with Chic-a-Loes I believe the secret has been let out due to a "creator's" reel that's floating around. Service by the young man that helped my decision was great especially since it wasn't very busy that day on 7/06/2025.

I was planning to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a party of eight and called ahead to ask about seating. I was told that reservations were not typically required. When I asked about the larger table in the back, I was informed that reservations could be made for that specific table, but they needed to be requested a week in advance. Since the birthday was only a few days away, that wasn't an option. The person I spoke with encouraged me to come in anyway, explaining that Sundays around 3:00 p.m. were usually not busy. I stopped by around 2:00 p.m. to inquire in person. After contacting the owner, the staff member informed me that I could reserve the table by emailing the owner and paying a $50 fee. What was frustrating was that the restaurant was completely empty at the time. It was difficult to understand why we would need to pay an additional fee simply to sit together and spend money at the restaurant, especially when the larger table was the only one that could accommodate our group. The most disappointing part was having to take our celebration elsewhere. I also felt bad for the server, who appeared to have very few customers and lost the opportunity to earn a gratuity from our party. I had hoped to support a local business and celebrate my daughter's birthday there, but the seating policy ultimately prevented us from doing so.

Black Owners and Operators of businesses in majority black populated areas must do a better job in providing higher quality products and services, but we must start by boycotting unworthy establishments. Hell, if you are protesting and boycotting Target, or other white owned businesses then it should be very easy to protest and boycott those businesses in your own neighborhoods that don't provide quality products and services...
