The food: I enjoyed the food. Chicken had a light batter and a good crunch. Not sure what about it but it got soggy fast. Bread soaked up so much sauce. The money sauce was great! Loved it. Problems with ordering: need a bigger menu or bigger writing. Person taking orders needs to speak louder or use a microphone. Couldn't hear anything over the music. The biggest con: They have heat levels. But anything above medium+ cost $1 extra and they don't tell you. I saw it pop up when he rang me up and I declined. I took medium +. You're a hot chicken joint. Why are you charging for spice? That's ridiculous when it's already $16 for sando and fries.

Cute arcade table!

Chicken Sammie, I got mild, wasn't even slightly hot for me. Will turn it up next time!

My wife loves fried chicken, it's a little bit cheaper than KFC…read more We've been coming here for over a year maybe once a month or so. Our usual fare is a box of dark meat, pieces of 8 for just under $18. Always good in the past, except for this time it was so bad. How bad? We will never come here or any other Krispy Krunchy again. It's just not worth making the drive home, then expecting to sit down to a enjoyably tasty meal after we take care of feeding our dogs and then end up getting sick over it. Not the nauseous throw up kind. The oil irritated my wife's throat and caused her to get a scratchy throat the next day and made her sick. As soon as I got one bite in, I realized a fishy smell, the breading was hard, fused to the meat and the meat itself was dried out. Now mind you, this is dark meat which is supposed to be way tenderer and juicier than white meat. My wife used to work at KFC years ago and she knew that one of the issues was it was cooked in old oil. The other issue was this was old chicken (cooked days prior) that has been sitting under the warming lamps for way too long. We love to support the private and small business operators but we expect to get what a professional food business advertises, good food and won't get us sick from their negligence in straying from their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). That means knowing when to dump the old oil and use fresh oil. The other is to throw out meat when it's no longer suitable for human consumption. For us, it's KFC here from now on. I've never been so disappointed from getting food from a gas station. This is from a person who loves the hot dogs at 7-11. I have also bought many times home cooked Tacos and Tamales from a gas station and never have been disappointed in all my years of driving 40+ years into a gas station. You've been warned...

My mother wanted to treat my husband and me to a late lunch, and because we were looking for a good fish restaurant, we decided to try Skip's Fish and Chicken. We placed an online order for delivery that included a 3-piece fish meal with deep-fried pickles, two fish baskets (one with fried okra and prawns, the other with deep-fried pickles and mac and cheese), three fried corn-on-the-cobs, and three banana puddings. After spending nearly $150, most of the meal ended up in the trash. The biggest problem was the excessive amount of salt. Everything we tasted--except the banana pudding--was overwhelmingly salty. It seemed as though the food had been salted multiple times after frying. The fish, prawns, sides, and even the vegetables were so heavily seasoned that they were virtually inedible. We could only manage a bite or two of most items before having to stop eating them. The kitchen should simply taste the food before it leaves the restaurant because this level of oversalting is impossible to miss. The fried corn on the cob was particularly unpleasant. When I bit into it, a liquid unexpectedly gushed into my mouth. Combined with the mushy texture, it was revolting. Of everything we ordered, that item was by far the most off-putting. What makes this experience especially disappointing is that we genuinely wanted to like this restaurant. Instead, nearly every item we ordered was ruined by poor preparation and excessive salt. Food should be enjoyable, not something customers worry might make them sick. The only item I found edible was the banana pudding, and even that was mediocre. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst restaurant meals I have ever received, and I cannot recommend Skip's Fish and Chicken based on our experience.

The restaurant itself also has a nice, old-school Chinese feel that adds to the experience. That said, there is a serious packaging issue that needs attention. The food is served extremely hot, and for takeout it is packed in styrofoam containers. In some cases, the heat is so intense that it causes the containers to warp or even melt through at the bottom. This raises concerns about food safety and materials leaching into the food, especially given how hot the items are served. On one occasion, I noticed the container had partially fused to the breading of a chicken dish, and I could actually taste what seemed to be the styrofoam. While I understand styrofoam is common for takeout, I would strongly encourage a switch to more heat-resistant and safer alternatives, such as waxed paper-lined or higher-grade containers, especially for very hot dishes. Overall, the food and service are excellent, but the packaging choice takes away from an otherwise great experience.

Wow, A&W and KFC under one roof--what a glorious dumpster fire of grease and despair! I walked in expecting a quick bite, but instead, I got a front-row seat to a corporate clown show. The food? Oh, bless their hearts, they're out here dropping frozen chicken nuggets and frostbitten fries on the floor like it's an Olympic sport, only to scoop them up, dust them off, and chuck them in the fryer anyway. Yep, that's right--'floor spice' is officially part of the recipe, per their genius company policy. I guess when your slogan is 'Root Beer & Regrets' meets 'Finger Lickin' Filth,' you've got to improvise. And the workers? Poor souls look like they're auditioning for a zombie apocalypse movie--overworked, underpaid, and probably plotting a mutiny with the leftover mashed potatoes. Management treats them like they're disposable napkins, which is ironic because I didn't even get a napkin with my order. I asked for extra sauce, and the cashier glared at me like I'd just asked her to donate a kidney. Can't blame her, though--after surviving a shift in this grease-stained gulag, I'd be salty too. The food itself? Tastes like a science experiment gone wrong--half-cooked, half-frozen, and 100% regret. My root beer was flatter than my hopes for decent service, and the chicken was so dry it could've doubled as sandpaper. Save your money and your dignity--eat literally anywhere else. One star, only because zero isn't an option. A&W and KFC: where dreams, hygiene, & employee morale go to die. read more

Its amazing how horrible this KFC is. I just went again tonight and they said the usual NO CHICKEN. How does a chicken fast food place never have chicken??? And dont even try asking about A&W because "the grill is off"... so what are u serving?? Cold slaw and mashed potatoes? And i see the owner replied to some reviews here but why dosent he change anything??? Why give a free meal when they dont even have the meal to give?? They never ever ever have chicken past 6pm. Ever. Literally ever. I even talked to corporate for 2 hours one day and they apologized and sent coupons but damn still nothing fixed?? read more

I went in for lunch. Ordered from the menu on the wall. When I went to pay the price that was on they wall they charged me more and stated the price just went up. When the manager came over he said, and I quote, "I have no control over the price and it's not my problem". I advised him it was illegal to post one price and charge another. He replied that it was not. I am filing with the BBB, KFC Headquarters, and the Division of Weights and Measures with the Dept of Food and Agriculture. Buyer beware! read more
