    Best Chicken around. Enjoyed a 3 pc meal (Leg, thing, and breast). Also, had a homemade piece of strawberry cake that was delicious.

    Three of us came here for a late lunch so it was not very busy…read more My daughter has been here many times but this was my first time. I'm glad my daughter was with me because there was no instructions or help navigating how their system works. The restaurant is not real large and there are tables only. They can accommodate a large group. One came in while we were there. You go up to the counter and tell them what you want and they make the plate for you. I chose the beef stew with field peas, mashed potatoes and cabbage. It came with cornbread too. The beef was delicious, tender and seasoned well. The field peas were awesome, the cabbage just average. The cornbread was dry but was good with the cabbage. I got sweet tea to drink and it was good. Our different choices were meatloaf and Mac and cheese . I tasted the meatloaf and it was outstanding! I hope they have it next time we come. I also learned after I ate that you can get fried chicken. I would love to try that. I think one of our group would have ordered it if we had known. Service was average and the place was clean. I am sure we will be back.

I had the green beans and mashed potatoes with dark gravy. Gravy was a showstopper as well as the meatloaf. Hubby had the same with rice but added a side of greens which were outstanding! Only one problem was that we're not in town long enough to enjoy her food again and again!

They are known for having a long line which will take a while for them to work though. On-site parking is available, some behind the building. Also, a building beside the restaurant is available for customers to sit and eat. I ordered: - Small Fish Plate - Cole Slaw - Fries - Banana pudding - Drink (16 oz) My total came to $13.63. I was able to split this into two meals. The food ... no seasoning (not even salt) was on the fries. The fish by itself is bland as well - I usually hit it with some hot sauce/tarter sauce to spruce it up. The fish will have bones FYI. The coleslaw is finely chopped and juicy (which I like). But the banana pudding was a huge disappointment. It tasted like the store-bought banana jello mixture with cookies and bananas. I 100% expected this to be homemade. I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a little girl ALWAYS getting the small fish plate! I really wanted to give 4 starts - but the banana pudding took them down a notch! They definitely have stayed consistent with their food. Even though certain items needed some seasoning, I would still recommend this restaurant BUT NOT THE BANANA PUDDING.

When we pulled in, we quickly found out that this is not your typical restaurant establishment. It is located in what seems to used to be a shed, which stirred the thought in my mind that we shouldn't be eating here. But, my dad was committed and determined to try it out, and I followed along. When I walked in, I felt that I was in the 80s (hence the lone TV in the corner playing movies via VHS tapes). You can sit wherever you would like, and are given a short menu. We both got sweet teas, which I thought had a weak flavor, but my dad liked. Our server was the waitress, food runner, cashier, hostess, and everything in between. Despite this, she did a pretty great job at keeping everyone satisfied. I ordered the flounder plate, while my dad ordered the dark meat chicken plate. All plates come with fries, coleslaw, hush puppies, and a Kings Hawaiian roll. My flounder was mostly good, although one piece had a metallic taste. I requested 1 flounder, but they gave me three! How generous. My dads chicken was better than my flounder. The hush puppies are ok in my opinion (good, but not the best), I don't like coleslaw so I didn't try any, and the fries are very greasy but are good. The customers are either travelers off of the highway or interstate or are country locals. There were good people, laughs, and vibes going on at the country corral. I do think that the food could improve a bit, but because of the value for the amount of food you get, the people, the customer service, and the experience, Roys gets a 4/5 instead of a 3/5.

I was not in love but I think there are some caveats there because I am not the typical customer. First, we appear to have come right at the height of their dinner rush. It took a while to get seated. The hosts told us to sit at the bar and then the bartender kicked us out of our stools because we were waiting for a table and apparently the bar stools were only for people who were eating, so we had to go find a bench. When we did get seated they put us at a really weird high top in a separate room when there was a much nicer low top available in the main room that we switched to. I got the sense both that this place was kind of hectic and that they didn't think they needed our service. But then as we were eating it cleared out all of a sudden and we were the only people left at like...8 pm. Our server was...accetptable. Not rude, but kind of short. Compared to the lovely personable service we got at other places in Wilmington it felt...I dunno, New Yorky? Then there was the food. And here comes my biggest caveat. I am pescstarian and do not eat chicken. So I ordered a shrimp po boy. It was not good. Not bad. But not good. Especially for the price which, honestly, competed with the prices where I live in DC. Every other person around me ordered chicken. My husband ordered chicken. He really liked his chicken. So obviously, this is a place where you get chicken (if the name didn't make it obvious). Had I ordered chicken I likely would have enjoyed my meal a lot more. But if you have shrimp po boys on the menu, endeavor to make them decent or take them off. Also I subbed a side cesar instead of fries and it was an afterthought. The fries themselves were excellent. If I ate chicken and came back to Wilmington I would maybe give this place another shot but as it stands, nah.
