The greens were very well made, and my only regret was not ordering more of them. -Mr.

This KFC/Taco Bell location has been renovated…read more Figured I should 'renovate' my review, too. The interior is now modern, clean, and bright with different types and sizes of tables to sit around. I actually really like the large, round table they have for large groups to sit around. Bathrooms are also modern, although cleanliness just depends on usage. Workers are friendly and customers usually look happy. Although still not my preferred place to eat in town, the food has been hot and delicious each time we've ordered. No issues with lukewarm, tasteless food. No opinion on the buffet as I never order (or look at) it. I'm more of a $5 Box kind of person. KFC is now back in our rotation of places to eat in Cynthiana.

This was a new concept that started this year. I couldn't quite figure who Food News and Chews is…read morethough. The only promotion or talk that I heard about this week long event, was on the radio. But whoever Food News and Chews is, thank you! This is Kentucky, so it does make complete sense to highlight one of our culinary staples. Highlight is exactly what most the restaurants did. They used the opportunity to highlight their businesses and culinary abilities. There was only one version that I didn't particularly care for, but even that version seemed to be more than an average $5 sandwich. Most of the versions were battered and huge. My favorite version was the one from Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken. I loved that they used their everyday chicken tenders. If you hadn't tried their spices and tenders before, this event gave you the chance. Second to their famous chicken, the mac and cheese is their next best thing. Guess what? They combined that mac and cheese with a ranch sauce and included it in the chicken sandwich. I'm hoping that I can get this chicken sandwich the next time that I go to Gus's too.

Food-based ________ week in Lexington seems to have a new addition each year (burger, pizza, taco…read moreare already established, but chicken sandwich week was new), and I like it! It's an effective way to entice me to try out restaurants I haven't been to and to try a (sometimes) creative spin on a fairly straightforward item. This one wasn't run by the same group that runs all of the others, and it had fewer restaurants participate and far less advertising/publicity. Largely because of these two things, there weren't many that interested me enough to warrant a visit and I didn't even realize it was happening until the week was almost halfway over. I did go to one restaurant that I definitely wouldn't have gone to otherwise though, and really enjoyed the chicken sandwich there. I'd love to see it return with better restaurant participation next year!

However, once this food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. The spice in the jerk is enough to have a good kick, but not be overwhelming. I think if you love spice it is hot enough to be okay, and unless you are the wimpiest it also won't be too hot. I did like the pork quite a bit more than the chicken. Beef patties were solid/ average. Do NOT skip the coco bread!

Newly opened restaurant in Jtown, close to the center of the square and across the from Recbar…read more First thing to know - they have chicken and salad with chicken, but they do not have burgers. Their burgers are "chicken" burgers or veggie. The promotion of burgers is confusing and a little disappointing. Chicken tender combos come with fries, one side and drink. The chicken burger was also tenders but tossed on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayo. Several sauces are offered for dipping your chicken. The combo #1 was a good value. The tenders were hot and had enough peppering to make the flavor interesting. We enjoyed the fries, which reminded us of eating at school ballparks. Sides are small but offer a few bites and I liked the slaw (although it looked different than the menu image). My husband shared the green beans were peppery. My Fanta lacked flavor. The chicken burger was enjoyed by my son but since he didn't really want the toppings, he basically had the same meal as my combo #1 for more money and without the side. Service was helpful and polite. We appreciated them checking on us and being willing to offer recommendations. They have plenty of parking in a private lot and several tables inside. Cute decor. When walking in, the space didn't smell great -- likely a plumbing issue because it otherwise appeared very clean and organized. Drive thru also available. I'd come back for a quick bite of chicken tenders or pick up, but the ambience doesn't quite hit for it being at the top of our family hang out.

If you're not familiar with the Greyline Station, it's a former bus depot which has been transformed into a miniature mall of sorts, with numerous vendors located inside, and I had read a sign that they hold a Farmer's Market on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00 pm. The facility has an accommodatingly large parking lot with plenty of spaces. Nowwwww, to the REAL reason for this review! Once I parked and exited my vehicle, I smelled the most amazing fried chicken, and immediately searched for the source of such an enticing aroma. As I walked towards the building, I saw two nice gentleman sitting outside of the building, near a sign that said Wing KYng, and AHA, SCORE, I found the source of the wonderful fried chicken aroma! Those two gentlemen happened to work in Wing KYng. I told them once I procured my one sought out item in the farmer's market inside the building, I would be returning to procure some of that chicken. Upon my return to Wing KYng, I began asking my typical questions: do they have anything gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and egg free? The staff member was very knowledgeable and advised me that the dry rubs were my best option. I have a myriad of food sensitivities, so I browsed the dry rub options available, and chose a 6 piece chicken wings with Lemon Pepper dry rub. O M Goodness!!Fabulous is the first word to come to mind! The skin was so delectably crunchy, the chicken was moist and tender, and the flavor was perfectly balanced! The cost was $12.00, which is a great price in my mind for the best fried chicken I've had in a good many years. Although I cannot speak to these items, they offer a wide variety of flavors, dips, and Parmesan coated home cut French fries as well. I witnessed one staff member actually cutting the potatoes for the French fries. Truly nice folks work here, and the chicken was phenomenal!!! I will be returning here for sure!
