Great juicy, hot chicken and fast service. I devoured my meal, the hot chicken tacos, then took the rest of my wife's and son's meals. Ain't no body safe around me with chicken this good, ya heard. Drop in and get you some juicy hot chicken.

Loved the is place. I had the regular hot chicken and it was a decent amount of spice and sweet (does have cinnamon and sugar as part of the blend). Containers for outside seating are an amazing touch. Would love to go back next time I am in town!

If you are in Louisville, you need to stop by at this place. They have the best chicken tender. Crispy outside and juicy and soft inside!! I tried classic fried & some heat & Hot and my favorite was classic fried taco. For the side, definitely try spicy potato wedges with Mississippi comeback sauces . The workers were friendly and nice!

The "Gonzo" is NO joke. It broke my husband! LOL I had the medium hot and it was perfection. It's a nice place, nice staff, and good spicy chicken (the shakes help if you had to much heat).

The best fried chicken tenders tacos I ever had!!! Just the right amount of spice to give you a glistening nose and make it run!!! Wonderful staff excellent chefs!!! I will return! Thank you from a Southern Texas Girl!!!

The sandwich I had today is definitely in the top 10 best things I've ever eaten. Being a vegetarian, I got the hot tofu sandwich. Perfectly seasoned, a little sweet, savory, a nice amount of heat and just delicious. I could eat another one right now. The cole slaw was also delicious. 11/10 would go again.

You can choose your level of spiciness. The "hot" is not very hot but the next level "x-hot" was very spicy. I had a little trouble eating it because of the heat but it was good and I enjoyed it. There is a little hint of sweetness to the hot sauce with I thought was very good. Would definitely go back when passing through Louisville. If you like spice I would recommend this place.

Great hot chicken! Try the cheesey chicken poppers with comeback sauce. Atmosphere is chill and they gave a lot of seating including a cool outdoor patio with an urban vibe.

I usually walk sometimes to this place for a good chicken tacos and potato wedges that I love. I came in today and the potatoes looked burnt when I asked the lady if this was ok she said that because of spices but I’m pretty sure the oil is burnt and they taste bad! Never coming back!

This place was absolutely amazing. I have had a lot of fried chicken, but this was some of the best hot chicken that I've ever had. The hot and extra hot are both doable for anyone with a decent spice tolerance, but the gonzo was a different story altogether. I tried one gonzo tender and it was insanely hot to the point where I was crying and sweating even in sub 25゚ weather. However the flavor was still undeniably good so would recommend to anybody looking for a spicy challenge. Definitely will come again next time I am in Louisville.
