i enjoy their extra spicy jumbo tenders with a side of mc and cheese super good and get extra spicy if you like spicy for real because the normal hot ones aren’t really spicy. I love their ranch too. Service has always been nice. Friendly atmosphere.

The chicken was very good. It was hot but very cayenne forward. Very good portions. I think they break down there own birds. I got chicken sandwich, some tenders, and some wings. Huge portions could have done better with the heat bur very good. Stop by and get some id you are in the area. Id I lived in Chicago I would be there on the regular

I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and banana pudding. I've heard about this place numerous times and decided to grab some lunch. I ended up eating inside. It was clean and not too loud. I was the only one there. The chicken was fresh and bursting with flavor. It was very hot. Lol I did not realize it until I bit into it. I was not prepared. The lady was nice enough to give me a lemonade. I would definitely try their food again.

My First visit here. It’s a clean establishment. I didn’t like that they don’t take cash, and I burnt the roof of my mouth. The sandwich was great as well as the biscuit. Please take your time and let your food cool down. I had a little Ice Cream Cake ? ? ? before arrival. I definitely brought an appetite. Will visit again

Came in here yesterday and got the 3 piece tender, naked bc I can’t handle spicy food & it was delicious. Mac & cheese & fries also good. The cashier was really nice and will def be coming back! Thank you!

Food was decent. The hot chicken was not very hot in my opinion but still had a good taste. liked the lemon lime soda.Tables were quite sticky and the music played was pretty depressing. Made us feel like we shouldn’t have been there.

Friendly service and delicious food. This picture doesn’t do the size of this sandwich Justice. There was a LOT of chicken here. I had the classic and it was just the right amount of spice.

Pros: - Good food portion size - Good presentation - Decent atmosphere - Good burgerCons: - The tables are sticky - Fries over salted - How hot is not accurate - overpriced

Mediocre at best.First of all, we got extra spicy and it was hardly spicy. I have never really expected a place outside of Nashville to make genuinely hot chicken…and so have yet to be proven wrong.However this was not the biggest issue. So so so overpriced for how small the portions were and how low quality the food is. The Mac n cheese tasted like it had been microwaved and it was almost $7 for idk…like 4oz ? A can of coke was $4.The atmosphere was so uncomfortable. The music was horrible with loud commercials playing and it felt like we were not supposed to be in there.We also had to wait like 20 minutes for the chicken plate. To be fair they did mention it would take a while but when it came out and it was so small and not good and it was so expensive…it was just overall a super disappointing experience.

Generous size chicken sandwiches. Although they kinda slack flavor. Prices are decent. Presentation is where its at with them. If in their vicinity and would like to try something new. Id say stop in.
