    Chicken tenders special
    Oneya O.

    I had heard rumors of the deliciousness of this chicken for several years and finally stopped in to try it. I ordered the tenders special and found the chicken to be hot and fresh. Service was also friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry in the area.

    Delicious boudin balls, tender and juicy chicken strips, a tasty dipping sauce, and fluffy honey biscuits... this is great on-the-go food! Yes, it's a Marathon gas station, but this was darn good chicken. Not sure how a Louisiana Cajun style roadside chicken takeout ended up in Cincinnati, but I'm glad they did! With 16 more hours on the road ahead of us, this quick stop hit the spot perfectly for breakfast. And we weren't alone- there was a steady stream of customers getting chicken while we were there. In addition to being a great spot for chicken, they had a convenience store, and, of course, the gas station!

    Stopped to get gas and happened upon this chicken spot within the gas station. The smells were getting my attention so I started talking to KeKe, the server. She said that people drive from all around to come get their chicken. I took the bait and decided to get a two piece dark with a biscuit. The chicken has Cajun seasoning that wasn't spicy at all. So I preceded to devour my chicken. The chicken was nice and crispy while piping hot. I had to let it cook for a moment so I could eat it. The crust wasn't really anything to write home about. The actual meat was good, however I still wasn't overly impressed to the point I'd come back for more. Popeyes chicken is just as good if not better. I'd actually rather eat Indie's in comparison. Now the butter biscuit with additional butter topping stole the show. It was on harder side but the taste was soooooo delicious. While the biscuit was very impressive I wouldn't come back for more of this food. They had sides but I didn't get any of them.

    Taking this BBQ sauce to the face like a champ! Love Jay's 3 Pieces Chicken , biscuit & fries!

    Had never been here before, doing a yoga training one exit north, head good things and shot down the red bank exit for some fried chicky!! I got the $6.99 special ( ate it over two meals ). The size and flavor of the tenders were perfect and the potatoes were right there too, great value. I'll be back on my next friend chicken crave!!

    I moved to a new place last month just up the road from this place. Several people told me to check it out and it is a hidden gem. Yes it's inside a Marathon gas station but don't let that fool you. The food is great. This will be my go to fried chicken spot when I don't want to deal with the hassle of making it downtown to The Eagle. I got a 2 piece combo and unlike other places you are asked which type of pieces you want. I was able to get 2 chicken breasts in a combo without paying extra which is very rare in my food travels! My wife had potato wedges for her side and I had mac and cheese. The potato wedges are thick cut with a mild Cajun seasoning. They were great. Disclaimer on the Mac and cheese. Although it is a pretty good side they have a kick to them bc red pepper flakes were baked in. If you like spicy Mac and cheese it's a good compliment to the chicken. Speaking of chicken both of my pieces were nice and juicy cooked inside of a flavorful but not overbearing breading. The last highlight of this meal was the honey biscuit which is melt in your mouth good. Will return often to this spot. You know it's good when people in the gas station overhear you tell the cook it's your first time and you need a second to look over the menu. Recommendations were flying in from everyone who all said this will be our first visit and not our last.

    Jay's Chicken Kennedy Heights

    One of the best meals I have eaten recently came from a gas station No, no, don't take pity on me, no need for that. Honest! The gas station is the Marathon at the corner of Highland Avenue and Kennedy Avenue, in the Pleasant Ridge\Kennedy Heights area, and the food was from Jay's Chicken, which operates inside the Marathon station there. I arrived late, about an hour before close, so the selection was somewhat limited. I picked up a couple of chicken tenders, which were very good with just a hint of spice, and a couple of biscuits. The biscuits are on the small side, and look a bit like muffins - but were phenomenally good, especially with a little bit of the honey butter the fellow manning the stand offered to me. It looks like they not only have fried chicken by the box, lunch, or piece, but also cajun/creole influenced items like red beans and rice, jambalaya, cajun-style fish, and boudin balls. I am looking forward to going back soon at an earlier hour to sample some of these other items, and to get some more of those wonderful biscuits Recommended

    1st timer in Ohio and stumbled upon this cute little area with lots of local shops and restaurants…read more The beer was crisp and refreshing, a little bit of variety for all. The food was delicious; the Peruvian chicken and nachos are both phenomenal. You order at the bar and the service could not have been better. Can't wait to go back!

    Man, so sad about this place! Decided to stop in here for my birthday and was extremely…read moredisappointed. To start this place is a "sit down" but you have to order at the bar and they bring it to you. We were a tad thrown off with that since they literally had waiters and people roaming around, didn't make sense to me. But that was just the start! We decided to order nachos and a pretzel to start the meal. The pretzel was disgusting, hard and lacking flavor and the $14 nachos was a side plate with a small portion of nachos on it. I asked the server what was with the size of the nachos and he said he though they were normal. They aren't, you go to a normal bar and for $14 comes out a platter with nachos that are loaded. Then our mains came out, my wife's salad was gross, lacking flavor and with dry chicken and my burger was decent. For $90 this meal should have been WAYYY better. We left feeling very disappointed and will definitely not be coming back.
