    Disgusting chicken wings
    Malik H.

    Not good I don't like "blackened" over fried dried out looking chicken wings that are supposed to be "soulfully" golden brown and fresh looking I returned my entire meal cabbage and Mac and cheese as well I didn't trust it after looking at those wings. Not a happy camper WONT RETURN

    Every time I'm here to charge the electric car, I'm looking at this spot and I choose grocery shopping instead. Eventually today was the day, I decided to walk to this spot and give them a try with the weather outside being perfect. Before I walked in, I thought this was a full service restaurant as I looked at the menu and the prices, however my opinion changed to a fastfood restaurant to a self service restaurant. We had fried catfish with seafood salad, grilled chicken breast with light jerk sauce and Mac and cheese. The catfish was perfectly fried golden brown, light and crunchy. The chicken was flavorful and tender. The sides were great, the owner did let us try some yams. The staff was friendly and loved the plants in the store. I personally would have liked the chickens jerk sauce a lil more spicy. We spoke to the people at the adjacent table and they loved their food too. The most popular dishes are lamb chops and turkey. I don't either, but will come back again with someone who eats it....aka my brother who loves lamb and turkey. YELP CHECK-IN GETS YOU A FREE DRINK. HOMEMADE GINGER SOMETHING...TASTED LIKE SUGARCANE JUICE AND WAS AMAZING. Collard greens and cabbage also comes highly recommended. I'll definitely be here again, make sure you give it a try, and you won't be disappointed.

    OMG this food is so good. I got the lemon pepper lamb chops and my aunt got the grilled chicken. I had to stop eating to write this review. She stopped eating to get some cornbread but I didn't want to stop because I didn't want my food to get cold. I'm writing this with my one clean hand. It's expensive but worth it. They don't take cash. The only thing I didn't like is the cornbread is like cake. I want real cornbread.

    Receipt

    I'm walked in and made a to go order at 6:45pm and had to cancel and ask for a refund at 8:15pm. Literally sat in lobby for 90 minutes while staff prepared and served everyone else's meals noticing me waiting. Not only did my family not eat our expected meals I'm still waiting to be refunded $68.00. All she could say to me is "I'm sorry about that". As a loyal customer that kind of service is UNACCEPTABLE! I would love to talk to management.

    At first it seemed like a fast food chain. It took a few minutes to get our food not too long though. But everything was really fresh. Mac and cheese was quite creamy. Grilled chicken was quite flavourful. Fried catfish was really tender, and light with a good crunch. The owner/chef came in and had a good chat enquiring about our feedback. She recommended trying turkey wings and lamb chops. When I asked her about the candied yam, she actually gave us a sample to try which was really good as well. The pineapple ginger tea was amazing. Must try drink. Quite unique.

    Definitely not a sit down location! Order for pick up or to go! The food is deliciously amazing! They do not accept cash! So best bet is to go to the kiosks to pay or order online. I'm not from around here but this food smacks!!! I will definitely recommend and whenever I'm around I will pick up a plate and put people on. Definitely the food is made with love!!!

    Couldn't believe they were opened on Easter Sunday and couldn't be more grateful. Love this place for comfort supper. Had BBQ chicken, Mac, potatoes, and cornbread. Staff are always quick and accommodating with online ordering and pickup available.

    Never order from here!…read more The food is always incorrect. It takes forever. And they are always out of something or at least claim they are out of something. It is obvious that the workers do not give a sh*t to the point where I will never trust food from this location again. I have given them more chances than I probably should have and this is always what happens.

    A standalone KFC with drive thru opened recently on Hoosick Road in Brunswick next to Planet…read moreFitness and Cumbys and across the road from the new Hannaford. No more special KFC trips to Menands or Bennington for some people in this area. Also, the new traffic signal with GridSmart at Hoosick Rd & Lord Ave intersection is now operational, which helps especially with the Planet Fitness and KFC exiting traffic. An Aldi, a Wendy's and apartments are also going up adjacent to the Planet Fitness. I stopped in at the Brunswick KFC for dine-in lunch recently. The place was very busy around lunchtime as I entered the place, pull very hard on the door to enter. I ordered at the counter, the Chicken Pot Pie with Soft Drink ($6.19 plus tax). I was given a cup for self serve Pepsi fountain drinks, unsweetened & sweet iced tea. I did have to wait around 10 minutes for my pot pie since it was still baking. The KFC chicken pot pie is pretty standard served very hot with boneless chicken pieces, potato, peas and carrots in a creamy broth topped with a flaky pastry pie crust. The prepackaged chocolate chip cookie is no longer included, which is no big deal.  Afterwards, I decided to order more food, but through the KFC app since I saw a lot of people coming in to pickup online orders and leaving promptly. I ordered a Spicy Chicken Mac & Cheese Bowl ($5 plus tax) and a family sized frosted Chocolate Cake ($4.99 plus tax). The app had minor issues processing,but I checked my email and my order was sent through and I order was called and ready in 5 minutes. The spicy chicken bowl had dense mac & cheese and popcorn chicken topped with a spicy sauce. I ate some of the chocolate cake for later on with coffee.  If using the drive thru, just be aware that once you drive in, you cannot exit the raised curbed drive thru lane with vehicles in front and back of your vehicle. As a professional who has reviewed and designed site plans for fast food & coffee places (I did not Yelp those locations), I would never allow or approve the single curbed drive-thru lane with no escape. There will be cases when the customer gets to the speaker and the store does not have certain items or when a delivery driver decides to unassign an order when things take too long. They are trapped in the drive thru lane until the vehicles ahead of them move on. I have to deduct a star for this atrocity of bad site engineering.

We tried the original and honey garlic boneless chicken, beef bulgogi bowl and chicken kimchi fried rice. Everything was really good and hot. The place is small and casual.

Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

    A trip to their website showed me that Tex's is a NYC chain. Reviews compare them to Popeye's,…read morebecause of their fried chicken. But because they also serve burgers, I think a comparison to Roy Rogers is more appropriate (minus the fixin's bar I really liked). (Side note: There are no more Roy Rogers in New York State, they're only in Mid-Atlantic states at this point). The restaurant is tiny, with about 5 booths and a few small tables, but when I came in for lunch, it was immaculate. My first meal here was a chicken combo, spicy, with cole slaw. I really like their chicken; their spicy chicken has exactly the right amount of heat and flavor that I want. It's also extra, extra, crispy. I feel sorry for those who have to clean up after anyone who eats in, because there will be lots of batter flakes all over the place. And there's no sporks, it's all plastic forks, knives, and spoons. And now, for the picky stuff: You get a slightly larger amount of cole slaw than at similar restaurants. But the chop is finer, and there's more mayonnaise, so for me, it was too mushy. I probably won't order it again, instead I'll check out other sides. The biscuit was fluffy and less salty than at other places, but it was slightly dry, probably having been under a heat lamp for a while. The combo includes a fountain drink, from a smaller, older-style Coke dispenser for which there are only 6 options, one of them being sweetened iced tea. Unsweetened ice tea was not available as far as I could tell, so if that's true, your only unsweetened option is water, out of the dispenser or bottled. I found it amusing to see, in big letters under the counter, "We cook fresh all day," with about 3 dozen pieces of chicken under heat lamps in the back. Just how often during the day do you cook fresh? The bathroom was clean, but the dispensers were out of soap and paper towels. This is not a good thing for a place serving fried chicken. And it was only about 75 minutes into the day when I was there, I would find it hard to believe it was all used up in 75 minutes. More likely, it was never restocked at the start of the business day. C'mon, you can do better. This is easy to fix. I'll definitely be back if only for the chicken, but I do intend to try the burgers and also the other sides. If those are as good as the chicken, and the beverage and bathroom stuff gets better, I'll add more stars to a revised review for sure.
