The food at this location is getting more consistent which it desperately needed. This particular visit however we ordered two meals, got home, and we didn't have any dipping sauce. This ruins the entire meal with nothing to dip the chicken in. They asked us when we ordered and again at the window and we still didn't get it. On a side note why is this place always out of bags to put the boxes of food in? They always just hand out boxes of food. We need bags, people. read more

The service is great and. This is the best chicken in the south! It's always fresh, great flavor, not greasy, and it's just perfect. Also the red beans and rice are PERFECT! It was the perfect consistency, not gummy or watery, and no pork products (which is a huge plus for me). I wish I could give more stars read more

I always stop here when in Shreveport, some of the best chicken I have had. It is always busy in the evening time, you can choose to wait in the drive thru line or park and walk up to the order window. The chicken is always hot and fresh, staff is friendly and helpful. read more

I love the food and the service is good , a long line but moves quick and definitely worth the wait. The ambiance is that it's a great chicken spot for a quick lunch or a family dinner meal to feed the whole family. read more

As a person married to a Louisianan, I will tread carefully with this review. I will say that the chicken was juicy and flavorful but the presence of grease loomed quite clear. In comparison to some of the other chicken shacks, it holds up. But, in my humble opinion, there's nothing that really separates it from the chain chicken spots. Good but not great. Serviceable but not superior! read more

The food is delicious and portion sizes are ok. Sides could be bigger for the prices they charge. The biggest complaint I have about them is the price, they are the priciest chicken around I think. But good. There is a double sided drive through and a walk up window to place your orders, no indoor seating. They are relatively fast, one thing is ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER!!!! They often get it wrong or forget something!!!!!!! But sadly this is the normal everywhere now! All in all they are still my favorite local chicken. I do wish they would start doing a delivery service like Door dash or Uber eats but I suppose they don't think they need the money or hassle but I don't drive now and it would be nice. read more

Always on point. If you're leaving negative comments about southern classic, look in the mirror. You're the problem. You're a karan.

Cant go wrong with Southern classic. If you love fried chicken and flavor this is the spot. Need to get there early tho, otherwise line is wrapped around and down the road. Its that way for a reason. read more

This place has some the best chicken I've ever had, with the exception of my Mom's and Grandmother's. The sides are great including the corn grits. I would recommend Southern Classic chicken to anyone who loves chicken. All though the line is long usually, it is definitely worth the wait!!!!! read more

Best fried chicken ever. It's a drive through or you can walk up and order. Picked up a child's plate. The pieces or large. Seasoned just perfect. The line sometimes goes down Mansfield rd moves fast. read more

we had tried this location for there chicken, and nobody couldn't even finish it, and lest then a few minutes of me eating a few bites I had to go number two .. read more

Get chicken here on a normal basis but last time the dirty rice was too greasy, couldn't eat it because of that, flavor just wasn't right either. Chicken is always good, even though this is really great service and friendly staff. Just a little disappointed with this visit. read more

I've been to Southern Classic's drive through twice in the last 3 days! Everyone talks about Chic-fil-A's service but the service at Southern Classic on Mansfield Road is outstanding, fast, respectful, and friendly! The chicken is always hot, fries always seasoned, line always long but fast and the service always pleasant. read more

The food is amazing, I've never heard anything bad about southern classic...and the fries! The service is always fast, even despite the lines of cars. read more

This is some of the best fried chicken you'll eat. It is spicy and always served fresh and piping hot. The fries are also excellent as a side. They are well seasoned and served fresh! read more

It was decent. Not sure why that line so long. My breast and wing were very small. Fries were cold. The red beans were okay. Still trying to figure out why that line so long. I didn't take pictures because I wasn't impressed. read more

I dont live far from the Mansfield location and visit frequently. I love their food its always good and consistent. Best chicken intown by far, however i also love their redbeans and rice. So much so that when me and my wife go we get two sides just so we dont have to share. However on this visit im not sure what happened but the redbeans and rice were TERRIBLE!!!!! There was not nearly enough beans, WAY to much rice and the flavor was off. Hope its fixed soon or else ill have to find another place for good food. read more

Their chicken is always delicious....fresh, crispy and juicy. The red beans and rice are !!

One of the better simple fried chicken fast food joints I have had. Very affordable. I would give a 3.5 stars if I could. I didn't round up secondary to their staff. Staff could be a bit more happy/friendly (slap a smile on that face). read more

Great great chicken always fresh and hot have never had bad chicken from this place but the only thing is that the line is always long but the good news is that it moves very very fast and when you get your order it's always nice fresh and hot EVERY TIME!!!! read more

This place is popular and there's a good reason for it. Fresh hot chicken and the best Cajun rice. The sage in the rice is delicious and unique to me. Even though the drive through usually backs up onto the shoulder of Mansfield, the service is quicker than one would imagine. read more

Billy Joe J. has already said it all and better than I can. This is the best fried chicken to be found in the Shreveport/Bossier area. It's always cooked to perfection and served fresh and hot in all its glory, juicy meat with a gentle spiciness encompassed in a crust that couldn't be any more crispy and with a flavor that just can't be beat. I sometimes try to stay away a while longer because I always eat more than I should. It's just that good. Today our 2 year old daughter came to us and exclaimed, "I hungry. I want food! My wife asked her if she would like a peanut butter honey and raisin sandwich which is something she loves. "No! I want fried cicken." Fried chicken? "Yes, Sudden Cassick...and fries." It's not like we eat fried chicken that often because we don't and we haven't ever heard her talk about it other that at the moments when we have some. Our little girl knew exactly what she was craving! So, that explains today's visit. Sometimes only a box of Southern Classic's fried chicken will tame the hungry beast within. Like Billy Joe J., we were excited when we saw a Southern Classic being built out this way so we wouldn't have to drive as far. It's so hard to have that smell in the car on the way home and not get in to it. Gotta try and set good examples for the kiddies by waiting to eat at the table, right? Luckily it's usually too hot to eat right away though, remember me saying it was served hot and fresh? This location does a lot of business. Most people out this way seem to know where to get the best fried chicken. Even so, those workers really pump it out so the line of cars moves along at a good pace. They have excellent prices too. read more

Long waiting time if you are in the drive thru or the window, but the food is amazing and is worth the wait!

I typically love Southern Classic. I live closest to the Mansfield location, so it's the one I frequent most. My most recent trip resulted in being served chicken so old that it looked like battered shoe leather. read more

If you don't know, Southern Classic is the BEST fried chicken in all of Shreveport Bossier City!! It is the best! Juiciest! Tastiest! Crunchiest! Moistest! Bird! You will ever eat! It ain't fine dining, it's fast food and this is part of a small Shreveport-based chain but it is punch yourself in the face kinda good! This is a brand spankin' new location! They sell gift cards!

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had - and no I'm not kidding. This place ROCKS! It's nothing fancy, but this location is clean, efficient, and usually have great specials. They are the best Southern Classic in town, and serving some dang-fine fried chicken. Come get'ya some! read more

I never have been to Louisiana and I wanted some good southern fried chicken. And this place had it. We got a 8 piece mixed chicken and some mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Carry out only but they had a line of people drive through and pick up. Great food and great place to eat chicken read more

Worst attitude I've ever seen. I will never return to this location. I've never seen a place that you were required to wear a mask at a outside walk up window. The lady behind the counter would not wait on me at all. What's worse is she told me that a mask was required but yet hers was on her chin only, with her mouth and nose exposed. What is the difference in a walk up window and a drive up window. Also the City of Shreveport needs to do something about their parking structure. I thought that parking on the shoulder of the road was for emergencies only. I is extremely dangerous leaving. Good product but lost a good and loyal customer. read more

This is absolutely the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. Crisp and brown and delicious. Always tastes fresh and made to order. The cars wrap around the building. The prices are fantastic. We love the place. However, the sides suck. No flavor red beans and rice. Limp, greasy french fried potatoes that leave you with heartburn and indigestion. How they can cook the chicken so beautifully and serve awful everything else I will never know. I have asked for the potatoes to be cooked crispy. A bit better, but still causes me to choke and gag after just eating a portion. To me french fries should be crispy and brown, not greasy, limp and white. Is there any way that can be corrected. Please! We would go all the time if they could do everything good. As it is we rarely go. Still though they do a really great business so must be others do like greasy and limp fries. We always get the white meat, but I am plnning to try the strips as I have read good reviews about them. And I am going to ask the workers to please cook the potatoes till brown for me if they will. They are all real friendly and happy and helpful so maybe that is all I need to do. I am so ready for some of that wonderful chicken again. read more

fries are always on point. the workers also always have good attitudes. yes the lines be backed up but it moves so fast. you wont even have to worry about waiting for 30 minutes. only 5-10 minutes read more
