Great service, Kevin was so nice. Our first time here and we loved it!!! Tender chicken and not greasy, everything was fresh. Chicken sandwiches were huge! You can order different spicy intensities, mild had a kick, Ill be ordering the country chicken patty next time with no added flavor. We definitely will come back. Everyone enjoyed their food at our table. Il

The employees are very nice. The cashier is always helpful, and never tries to rush us to order. The workers that let us know our order is ready, are very polite and always ask if we need anything else or help with bringing the food over to our table. Very clean restaurant, including the restrooms Indoor and outdoor seating, and the food is always amazing. I definitely recommend this restaurant for all you chicken lovers

Chicken is yummy and always comes out fresh and hot!!! I wish they offered different fries or even tots im not crazy about crinkle fries! Their ranch is delicious! And for those picky soda drinkers they only offer Hosmer soda. But service is always excellent and restaurant clean. Would recommend to anyone who loves chicken tenders or chicken sandwiches.

Went here for lunch for the first time today, and it was GREAT! The guy at the counter was funny and made recommendations based on my level of spice, and then encouraged me to put in my cell # for rewards and said “trust me, you’ll be back so may as well earn rewards for it!” I trusted him and he wasn’t wrong – I’ll definitely be back! The sandwich was super tasty, crunchy, crispy, flavorful and a real good size. The crinkle cut fries with seasoning were also delicious – different than what 5 Guys does in a good way. Even the “come back” sauce was super tasty! Next time I am going to try the Sando with HOT – looking forward to it!

Getting right down to it, a chicken sandwich from this place = juicy breast with amazing batter and excellent fry. An absolute pleasure to eat whatever your spice tolerance. However if you’re looking for a challenge their highest spice level is sure to tingle. I eat at least one spicy dish per day and the code breaker still left a slow burn in my mouth!

An absolutely beautiful restaurant with incredibly friendly staff and delicious food. Portions are generous, staff is very knowledgable/attentive (they checked in on us while we were eating inside to make sure everything was excellent), and the speed at which food is ready is impressive! I’ve never had a wait for takeout longer than 15 minutes and my food was ready in 5 minutes last time I ate inside. Outdoor seating is wonderful for the summer! Highly recommend. Best hot chicken in the area.

As far a hot chicken sandwiches goes this is as good as it gets, especially locally and is honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Nice thick crispy chicken breast but still really juicy and would be flavorful even if I didn’t get it hot. Got it medium, I recommend hot if you love hot foods but perfect if you don’t have high heat tolerance but want a nice kick. Slaw is perfect and not runny. Shake fries were good also. My brother had nuggets and those were just as good and I also had banana pudding that I ate in the car which was a mistake because I couldn’t get another smh .

The food is good, I like their chicken sandwich and my children prefer the tenders. I usually go for the mild sauce, after a couple of times already having made the mistake of trying the medium one which is already very spicy for the average human. Service is great, staff is friendly and helpful

Very solid option when you’re in the mood for chicken. The chicken itself is tender and tasty. I ordered the Country level of seasoning and while it’s fairly plain, it’s still perfectly good. The shake fries are very flavorful. The slaw and pickles are very good, but they don’t have a sharp vinegar bite that some people love. The Mac and cheese is Boston Market caliber (if you know, you know). The pudding is also solid, but I wouldn’t get it again at the price point. If you’re looking for the biggest bang for your buck then get the sandwich, it’s big and heavy. Couple that with a side of fries and you’ll be stuffed.
