The chicken itself was excellent. It was incredibly juicy, perfectly fried, and had a great crispy coating. My only issue was that the breading felt like it was missing a little something, maybe more seasoning, pepper, or some extra flavor. Growing up with places like Gus's Fried Chicken in Memphis and Nashville hot chicken, I think I naturally expect a little more punch from the chicken itself. The sauce they serve is more of a barbecue style sauce, and while it worked, I personally didn't love it enough for it to carry all the flavor. The sides were a mixed bag. The collard greens were really good and definitely one of the highlights. The coleslaw, though, was way too pepper heavy for my taste. Also, the piece of bread that comes with the meal was honestly not worth the calories. I'd rather see them either upgrade the bread or skip it altogether. One unexpected highlight was the pebble ice from the drink machine. Small detail, but it was awesome and definitely appreciated. Overall, I'd come back and try some different sides because the chicken itself is worth returning for. With a little more seasoning or some different sauce options, I could see this being a 5 star spot.

Cheap fuel and fried chicken, this is the place. I stop here periodically while traveling through…read morethe area. Fuel is consistently less than everywhere else by at least 10 cents a gallon or more. There's an additional savings for paying with cash as well. Then the fried chicken, its some of the best around. Prepared fresh daily, at a fair value. From a single piece to huge buckets, you can get whatever you want in quantity or not. I often grab a small box for the road, its always been freshly made and good. The staff are all friendly, kind, helpful and will get you set up quickly. This place is old school, with two registers at the counter. Dodge's has been here forever and has a wide selection of convenient store items as well. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the good folks that work here and the good fried chicken 01077

We got two chicken sandwich combos and a kids meal. Fries typically suffer from being in a box and traveling but they were so good. Enough seasoning and crisp without being too crunchy. We got the regular chicken sandwich and a Nashville hot. The bun was spectacular and the chicken was so good! On the regular sandwich, the chicken was super crispy. The kids meal was good too! The kiddo preferred the fries (which last week she didn't eat fries so her reviews are pretty all over the place). She got a lemonade which we all tried and it was delicious! I would recommend ordering the lemonade.

It's inconceivable how on July 20th of this year it will have been a year since the grand opening…read moreof HCK Hot Chicken in Vinton, Virginia and I hadn't heard of it. I can say it's the best kept secret of the Town of Vinton, in Roanoke County, and it's about time that it no longer be a secret. I am determined to go try it out and spread the word. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those young established ones that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And HCK Hot Chicken is the perfect example. Located off East Washington Avenue, in one of the most beautiful areas of Vinton, near William Byrd High School, this restaurant is located inside a long standing convenience store, "Vinton Tobacco & Grocery," and in the same location of a bp gas station, but don't let this fool you, it has its own entrance on the side, its own parking lot, and a drive-thru lane for ordering. Besides this, its owner has done a great renovation job, that this is one of the cleanest gas stations/convenience stores that I have ever been to, and because of this it in no way detracts from the clean, bright, and contemporary ambiance of the restaurant itself. Founded in 2020, in Woodbridge, Virginia, the first HCK (Hot Chicken Kitchen) Hot Chicken restaurant had as its Mission: "Unity through Food." Recognizing the power of food to bring people together. Their belief is that "food unites us and can lift people up." There menu features succulent Nashville-style chicken sandwiches, classic and boneless chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken and Belgian waffles, loaded fries, loaded mac and cheese, coleslaw, fried pickles, fried donut drops, and more. The owner of the restaurant who warmly greeted me when I arrived told me that all of their dishes are gluten and allergen free. With no MSG and no peanut oil.The chicken is farm-raised, fed only vegetables and grains, with no use of growth-boosting chemicals. When one enters the restaurant, it is nicely designed (with the colors red, black, and white), and with hardwood floors, wood tone tables and chairs, a well organized ordering counter, and a well lit menu high above the counter, as well as with large pictures of menu item just below the menu sign. The very friendly and knowledgeable order taker took my order from behind the counter. I ordered a Nashville Style Chicken Sandwich Combo with the mildest sauce they had. It came with their seasoned krinkle kut fries, a side of good sauce, and a drink. Not bad for $14.49, especially after you taste the food. The chicken was the plumpiest, juiciest, and tastiest chicken that I have ever eaten in a sandwich. The fresh toasted artisan potato bun complimented its flavor. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, seasoned to perfection. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review and see for yourselves because a picture is worth a thousand words. The welcoming and hospitable owner came to see how I had liked the food and I told him how amazing everything had been and that I looked forward to returning to try other menu items such as the Fried Donut Drops. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant for a very unique and wonderful chicken dining experience. Amazing food, clean and comfortable environment, and excellent customer service.

For sides it has mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese and fries at this location, some locations also have red beans and rice and boudin balls according to their website. I was kind of disappointed this one didn't serve them. I had a two-piece white combo which was a breast, a wing, a biscuit a side and a drink for $ 6:40. It's advertised as Cajun spiced chicken but I didn't find it anywhere near the level of spiciness of Bojangles or Popeyes but it had a little bit of zip to it. The coating was definitely crispy and crunchy and the white meat inside was tender and very juicy, surprisingly so actually. The biscuit was slathered in honey butter which I don't particularly care for but if you like sweet you'll dig it. The mac and cheese with standard pre-made Food Service type not really good but not really bad. I can't say I would choose it over Popeye's or Bojangles but if I was in the area and hungry like I was today I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Food is usually good but Collinsville has some of the worst workers around. Very rude. Some never say a nice word at all and act like they don't want to be there.

Need to go through and let some go and hire people that are not so hateful. You know customer service is a big part of a business staying open and we certainly dont need to close another business in this area. While thank you and have a good day is not hard to say, some of your employees could use a lesson or two.
