My husband and I dined in. Hattie's original fried chicken is lip smacking good: crispy coating on the outside, the chicken is tender and juicy. We opted for 3 sides: sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese and Hattie's collard greens. All three are generous in size and absolutely delicious! The young men who were behind the counter are friendly, attentive and keep the place spotless. As we were packing up the rest of our food to take home, one of the employees offered to clear our table for us.

Unfortunately, NOT in this case. $24 for a chicken sandwich and fries. As you can see from my picture, I got a pitiful sandwich.

The gentleman working the front desk (Srgib) knocked all of my expectations out of the park on the customer service side. This was also late in the day during Ramadan and he still showed patience and respect. I purchased two tenders and asked for them as spicy as they could make them. I get reaper tenders at Dave's, Thai Hot at all Thai restaurants (Sadudee Thai, Celadon Kitchen, Bangkok Kitchen), extra extra spicy from all Indian places I order from (Shalimar, Nahoori Point, Indian Flame) and this may have been the top 5 spiciest I've eaten.

The same goes for the sides of MASHED POTATOES with gravy and RED BEANS WITH RICE. I expected it to be like a "generic Kentucky Fried Chicken" restaurant but it is SOOOO much better, I will never get KFC again. I loved everything but one item, so much so that I am giving it 5 stars despite thinking the meat in the sandwich was gross. This chicken is so much crispier and the breading and meat have a better flavor and texture. It is not slimy meat like KFC and has a very mild seasoning they describe as Cajun, but it is not overpowering and I wouldn't have put my finger on what it was if not called out. The mashed potatoes have a nice texture and consistency and the gravy is so delicious, like real gravy. The biscuits are good too although they don't have the fake butter flavor I regret to say I do like from KFC, even though I think these are better quality. One thing I DID NOT LIKE AT ALL was the CHICKEN SANDWICH that comes with pickles and a little bit of honey sauce--the texture of this chicken breast was really weird. It crunched when I bit through it, but the crunch was not from the breading or the pickles; the meat itself was tough like it was heavily "pumped up" with a saltwater solution or something to make it juicy and full. I ate about half of the sandwich but frankly, this meat grossed me out and had a really unnatural texture. Almost like rubbery and so firm that the meat itself sort of snaps/crunches when you chew through it. I will definitely never get the sandwich again and am not sure if the nuggets and chicken strips might be weird like this too. But the bone-in chicken is stellar!

It was delicious; just the right amount of spice, good sized meaty pieces, and fresh! You could tell that they're making sure the oil is clean, and the chicken is not sitting in grease. We had mashed potatoes and red beans and rice on the side and both were outstanding. Prices were reasonable, and service was fast; will definitely be back.

I'm no stranger to good fried chicken from New York City to Boston etc...When I discovered that…read morethis place was here, I did not hesitate to go in and grab some chicken. I've been to one of their many locations in Boston and it has always been amazing. It's not a fancy establishment, but very clean and there are but a few tables. It's no concern though because they're made to order fried chicken as well as custom bowls will blow you away! The staff here will guide you through their menu of sauces and options if you are stumped... They're made to order fried chicken in every imaginable flavor, whether next level spicy, or somewhere in between with hints of sweetness will have you hooked! If you crave fried chicken in every flavor possible, your taste buds will thank you. Additionally who can resist sides such as fried cheese sticks, onion rings, steamed rice and the list goes on! You can order ahead online or simply pop in. I guarantee that it will be worth the wait. And besides they are located in a small shopping center if you really can't be tied down for 15-20 minutes... I highly recommend and I will be here regularly whenever I have a hankering for delicious Korean fried chicken. Totally worth it and check out their website ahead of time! Sure, some may think that they are paying a bit more for what comes across as fast food but trust me tis worth every penny. If you crave delicious fried chicken that meets your every expectation, you will gladly make this purchase. This chicken is moist, crisp and flavorful and beyond. You will never look back on any other place where you've ordered chicken to go as you will be back again and again. Whether you're a fan of wings, fried chicken pieces or incredibly moist and tasty boneless white meat fried chicken, this is the place to go! One taste and you will never look back.

My boyfriend got the ribs with cornbread and potatoes... the cornbread was moist and a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
