You will be hooked if you like a little spicy chicken! We love this hometown place we have grown up with. They remoded and we have always had great service. Just get ready to wait your turn during rush hours but it's worth it. I am however waiting for the return of the fried livers. It is a nice view with lots of windows and neighbors to talk with if you are a talker. It is getting pricey but we still love it. I can't say much about the inside since we usually get it to go. read more

It's a whole lot going on in here. Probably best to go through the drive through. But this is why you pray before you eat. Be prepared to wait but the food is definitely tasty and one of the best options in the area. Service is a bit slow, so be patient. It's worth the wait. Fried okra was really good! Fish was perfectly crisp! Go early if you can cuz they will run out of rice sides. read more

Whenever I come to Northern or Central Louisiana I am getting me some Southern Classic Chicken. Why because of the taste!! I make plans to stop and I will stop. The service at this location was quick and friendly which I appreciated. We took our order to go but couldn't even contain ourselves in the car and had to get a piece or two. I have eaten chicken all across this great nation of ours but my favorite chain restaurant chicken will forever be Southern Classic chicken. read more

Best fried chicken in this area and maybe even some of the best in my lifetime. The service was okay but nothing to complain about especially once you get that food. And absolutely go through the drive through it is a whole lot less complicated and again, it is all worth it for the quality of the food. Been here multiple times and will always come back. read more

Very large portions. Very good. We were going to each order a chicken salad and our waitress, Cookie suggested we split one! Thank goodness as we couldn't finish 1 split between us. Traveling hard to find good restaurants and would highly recommend this one! Hats off to our young waitress Cookie! A+ read more

Lawd I love me some southern classic. A must have when visiting my hometown. The place is very casual and hasn't changed much in years. Service can be spotty since it's usually very busy. But the food... it's worth the wait. Some of the best chicken that you can get. Don't forget to season your fries! Bottle is on the front counter! read more

Suppose to have dinner tonight with my husband, only to be disappointed when he came home and our order wasn't even correct. I guess it's our fault for not checking before leaving the drive in, however everyone's got a stick in their ass cause the staff obtains TERRIBLE customer service. You can't even order here in peace without the staff having the means to be ignorant, rude, and foolish. We ordered 2 of the 5 piece tender meal, one meal with mash potatoes gravy and the other red beans&rice. And surprise surprise, we got soggy fries with only 3 tender pieces on one, and burned charred okra and 5 piece tender on the other. If ur gonna order here, don't order at night, they're just gonna hash you whatever, take your money, and provide burned and old food. read more

service was pretty crappy. they had way to many employees and PARKED ME, said it would be 7 minutes I have literally been sitting here for 20 minutes and three cars have gotten there orders and drove off while I'm still waiting. not only will I be contacting and giving a review I will be contacting corporate Monday morning. read more

Slow service, workers yelling in the kitchen. dirty dining room. Food took much longer than it should to get out. Workers didn't seem to care much and moved very slowl. read more

Excellent fried chicken like momma used to make! We'll season, fried through with moist chicken meat. Their beans and rice and Cole slaw were delicious as well. read more

Our favorite chicken! Everything is fresh, hot and juicy! I can feed a family of 6 for $25. We order a mixed box and 6 strips. Crust is crunchy and well seasoned, meat is juicy and tender! We love their thin cut fries and fried okra. They also have very good cajun rice, potatoes, greens, Mac and cheese, and hot water cornbread. The staff has always been very friendly to me, but it gets crazy busy some days and that can cause some tension. I've never felt that directed to me. If you want chicken for Sunday, call ahead around 1030 and you'll be good to go! read more

If you want good old southern fried chicken, this is your place. Always a line in the drive through on Sunday.

Best fried chicken I have ever eaten!!! Take my money!!! Delicious. The red beans and rice were amazing also.

I've tried all the chicken places around, and this place has by far the best tasting chicken. Forget Popeyes and KFC. Southern Classic is the best. Ask for a roll and pepper. Even the sweet tea is above average. Of course, it's a fast food joint, so don't expect great seating, but it is what it is. Bathrooms were clean, but only one stall each. The service is friendly. All in all, a great experience. read more

The food is great! But the ladies that was working at the time was very rude and had an attitude with me just taking my order.

If you ever have the OPPORTUNITY to dine on this delectable fowl YOU BETTER GRAB IT! This is FAMOUS chicken, people!! Greasy floors in here, They ARE frying this chicken !! Slow wait, well worth it, Not cheap, we don't care. It's perfection from a fryer! After leaving Louisiana several years ago for a new home in the Natural State, I can almost smell this (and begin drooling) when I hit the Jackson Parish line!! Dear reader, let me tell you about perfection! In the south our toddlers even savor this spicy crunchy chicken. The secret is in the marinade (surely). When I go home to Jackson Parish the only thing anyone wants is a huge box of Southern Classic. YOU try driving all the way back to AR with this delectable treat. All they may get is a few crumbs and a greasy steering wheel. Must try this. You too shall become a SOUTHERN CLASSIC FRIED CHICKEN ADDICT. read more

the food is good but the lines are always really long and sometimes food is left out and you have to go back through the line

Yall nevverrrrrr add extra seasoning even when I pay for it. A lot has been wrong here lately too. Always missing rolls or my fries and y'all get mad when you have to give me what I paid for when y'all forgot. I'll still be back though. Always do come back. read more

One of my favorite places in town! I would not waste my time going to KFC when there's Southern Classic! Dirty rice is yummy and I agree that their sweet tea is exceptional. And they have a drive thru window! Doesn't get any better read more

The food is first rate. The service is not. I keep going back but I NEVER leave before thoroughly checking my order. It is rarely right the first time. read more

Tried for the first time after the reviews and urging of my boyfriend. I think the taste and secret is in the crust. Good..yes..but I wasn't impressed with the macaroni and cheese, it tasted mushy. But I sampled my boyfriend's Cajun rice and it was good. Its good chicken but nothing for me to rave over. read more
