A very solid chicken sandwich sand giant tenders. Heat has no flavor, but they know how to fry chicken.
I've eaten at this place twice. Once as a DoorDash order and the other as a sit in. With the DoorDash order, I got tenders and bites with Mac and cheese and fries. The tenders were huge, a three piece would be a meal for the biggest of appetites. The Mac and cheese was not so great, cheese sauce flavor was weak but the pasta was cooked well. The chicken bites were a little tough, and the fried items all got steamed so they were not as crispy.
To give them a fair try, I went to their location and ordered to dine in. Cashier was incredibly friendly and helpful. I got their signature sando along with fries and a cookie. Food came out quick and I dug in.
One thing I can say for certain is that they know how to cook chicken. For the larger pieces, they always came out juicy and tender. The Sando was no exception, and it was a very good piece of chicken. The bread was toasted and buttered, which is a nice touch. The vinegar slaw was light and refreshing vs the heavy fried batter and buttered bread, and the pickles gave the salty crisp that the sandwich needed
So long as you got a bite of everything, it was delicious. For the bites that you miss a pickle or don't have sauce, you definitely notice it missing. It's finely balanced on the ratios, but relies on them to give the perfect bite.
That being typed, it is a delicious bite when you get it. So although it's not perfect for each bite, it's perfect enough to enjoy it when you do.
The fries are better fresh out the frier, but are kinda generic. The "shake" seasoning gives them some flavor but the fries are too thin to give you the fluffy potato portion but are also oddly cut to prevent them from being too crispy. You need their "comeback" sauce to eat them, and I'd imagine most throw them away.
My only other gripe is their heat. I like hot foods, but I like my heat to bring flavor with it. The heat here is just heat, combined with a paprika hit. I like a little sweet and earthy with my heat, but the only difference between medium and mild is the amount of cayenne you get.
But these are all nitpicks. As a chicken sandwich place, it does a good job of balancing flavors and making the chicken the star of the show. Their sides are an afterthought, but the star of the show is very much the star. I give them a five with a caveat that you go only if you want fried chicken. It's the best in the area and very good overall. read more
