    My coworkers decided to order from Southern Jerk for lunch, and I'd been wanting to try this chicken spot for a while--so I went for it! I ordered the 5-piece with a side of macaroni. The chicken came as drumettes, which I really liked, and it was packed with flavor--perfectly seasoned just the way I like it. The macaroni was simple but really tasty and comforting. I also got to try some of my coworker's collard greens, and wow... they were absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try if you're in the mood for some good, flavorful chicken!

    Southern jerk crispy fried chicken it's the spot. Don't be fooled by the gas station stereotypes, this place goes hard. Made fresh to order, I got the 8-count wings with mac and cheese and a side of jerk chili sauce. Great flavor, a mouth-watering experience. It's a must try and the prices are decent. I will definitely be back for more.

    My favorite Jamaican entree is usually jerk chicken, so when I found out there's a spot which sells fried jerk chicken, I was really excited to try the offerings. Southern Jerks, though not a Jamaican spot, does get the jerk flavor right. The wings (5/5) I ordered had a great flavor. This is more of a takeout-oriented business inside a gas station, so I ate a plate later at home. in regards to sides, I had originally thought of ordering greens, but instead ordered the dirty rice (4/5) and mac and cheese (5/5), the latter of the two being really good. The box comes with a roll and a pepper (jalapeño). You also get dipping sauces, which are awesome. Chef Jabril was really cool and kind, eager to explain his business and all the various offerings. I definitely recommend Southern Jerks for the unique flavor, 5/5 overall.

    I ordered the "Just Winging It" 8-piece combo with spice, and paired it with sides of 3 Cheese Mac 'N Cheese and Collard Greens. The fried chicken was golden, crunchy, and seasoned to perfection without being too greasy. The golden ranch on the side was the perfect touch. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and had just the right amount of richness. The collard greens were tender, flavorful, and not too salty. They even threw in a soft roll and a crisp pepper that balanced everything out. The portion sizes were generous, and for under $25 (including a tip), I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Service was quick, and my order was ready right on time. If you're looking for soul food meets Southern comfort with a little island kick, Southern Jerks is it.

    I'll admit, I was skeptical at first because it's inside a gas station... but Southern Jerks is LEGIT. The food is fresh and you can smell it the second you walk in. Nothing tasted like it was sitting around -- everything came out hot, crispy, and seasoned all the way through. The Caribbean jerk fried wings were the highlight for me. Great flavor and the seasoning actually sticks. The three-cheese mac and cheese was also really good -- creamy, cheesy, and not dry at all. I tried the tenders too and they were definitely on point. This is one of those hidden gems you'd drive past and never know. Worth stopping for.

    I recently tried Southern Jerk, and I have mixed feelings about my experience. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly showcased the essence of Southern cuisine. However, I did have a rough time afterward, as it left my stomach in shambles. While I loved the taste, I wish I hadn't experienced such discomfort. I would recommend giving it a try, but maybe be cautious about portion sizes or spice levels if you have a sensitive stomach.

    Their fries! (They give you a lot, however I ate so many before the photo bc they are so bomb!)

    Great spot if you want some good fried chicken or a burger and fries. The fries were soooo good! Probably the best fries I've had in a minute. Love how they cooked the burger and toasted the bun. Oh, and make sure to get the lemon pepper sauce! So bomb with the fries! (I forgot to take a photo). Service is friendly and welcoming. All the food is made FRESH to order! Literally seen the cook making everything and the Mac and cheese! Mac n cheese is cheesy and flavorful. I was satisfied with everything. It is in a convenient store, however makes it easy to come in order and go. Overall highly recommend if you're craving some FRESH fried chicken or a good burger and fries.

    This place is located inside of a gas station with no inside dining. The service is friendly and very helpful. The fries were seasoned extremely well.. I was really shocked,l until I tried the Mac n Cheese which was unbelievable delicious. I couldn't make out the distinctive flavors but they all worked well together. The rice, and the greens are both delicious with a homemade taste. It will make it difficult for me to select just one side when I return. Highly recommend them.

    We decided to try this place. I'm from New Orleans therefore we are used to eating gas station food. As a matter of fact we look for places like this. It's pretty clean in there. The chicken is good. it's hot and fresh. While the chicken is good I was looking for the jerk flavor and it never came through. It smells like jerk but not much of a jerk flavor. Being that I am a home chef who has been creating jerk dishes I was excited to try this but the jerk flavor was disappointing. Again the chicken is really good it's just lacks the jerk flavor. The people in there are nice and it was a small wait but I have no problem waiting for freshly prepared food. The food is a little pricey but I don't mind paying for good food and especially contributing to small businesses. I can say they did get us on the price. My husband said let's get the family wing meal but when I looked up the family meal gives you one less wing than the single meal but the cost is the same price so be ware of the gimmick that you usually find in the large food chains. We also paid for the dipping sauce that was supposed to be jerk. Well again, there was no jerk flavor, It was more like a sweet chili dipping sauce. All in all if I lived in the area I would visit regularly if I wanted fried chicken and didn't feel up to cooking . Just don't expect jerk flavors.

    I've been addicted since I first tried them. Literally went back that same day for dinner . Now I've told my job about and we decided to get them for lunch. 10 out 10 recommend! Go give it a try

    I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of wing flavors they offer here. There are…read morea lot of options on the menu and it honestly took me a minute to decide. I'm a pretty big wing fan, so I was excited to try this place out. They have a list of their top flavors posted right in front of where you order, which made it a little easier to narrow things down. I ended up picking two from that list. I went with the garlic parmesan wings and the lemon pepper buffalo since those seemed to be two of the more favored options. I was slightly disappointed because with the amount of flavors they have, the sauces and rubs were good, but the wings themselves were not cooked crispy. They were a little on the softer side and slightly undercooked for my taste, which is why I ended up deducting a star. If the wings had been fried a bit longer and had that crispy bite, this probably would have easily been a five-star experience for me. I ordered inside and the customer service was really good. The staff was friendly and my food came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. Flavor-wise everything was solid, so the potential is definitely there. I also snapped a picture of the menu because they run different specials throughout the week. Unfortunately I came on the weekend, so I wasn't able to take advantage of any of the weekday deals. The wings are a little pricey, but honestly that seems to be the going rate for wings these days. If I come back, I would probably just ask for the wings and fries to be cooked a little longer so they come out crispier. I'd also be curious to try more of the flavors since they have so many. I may stop by on their $0.87 wing day just to sample a few more and give them another shot. Overall, not bad

They're big, juicy and packed with flavor!! I love to get the mix & match cause that way I get wings, tenders and fries. The young lady at the register that took our order was so nice. She told us to sit where ever we'd like and to come up and order when we're ready. This place has gone up in price due to inflation so we paid $31 for the mix and match (that has gone up from $15 to $18) & and 5 piece wing, and a drink. The vibes here are pretty laid back, every time I've came up here it's never been too packed for me. The food came out in like 15 min which was good because they cook your food when you place the order. Overall I think this is still up there on my fav wings.

I've had a mix of experiences with wait times, but this most recent visit was very quick! Very laid back spot for a late night craving.

    I visited DoDo's Chicken on Wednesday, 6/11 around 4:45 PM, excited to get the chicken and sides…read morethat I usually love. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing for several reasons. First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.
