Be prepared if you’re not tech savvy. Upon entering you make your on order on a touch. I little cumbersome to make your order and view all choices but it works. Prices are a little high $17 for 2 piece white 2 sides and drink. Plenty of food to fill you up. Chicken was good ver crispy and a little spicy. Red beans were very salty. Mac and cheese was good with a nice touch of fried bits to top them off. Overall good but nothing spectacular.

Hubs and I tried this new restaurant and were happy with it. We love the self-service ordering. I got the two-piece white meal with red beans and Cole slaw. Hubs got three-piece dark chicken meal with red beans and Cole slaw. Both were delicious. The chicken is spicy but not that spicy. The red beans and Cole slaw were delicious as well. We hope to come back and try the chicken tenders because they looked delicious.

We had a great experience here! We have been in the restaurant a couple of times, and also had some food to go. In my opinion, the chicken was way better than Popeyes. Everything was cooked to order, and the chicken was super hot and crunchy. We loved the sauce station as well!

This place has good potential. For me, the chicken wasn’t especially flavorful but it did look really good and have good texture. Same with the mac and cheese, not much depth of flavor. Red beans were a bit plain and I think could have been a larger portion size. The bread roll was a bit small and seemed like something you just buy at the grocery store. The atmosphere was very loud and acoustically, I don’t think it worked well with the music in the background (music was buried and pretty muffled with the loud chatter of the folks in the restaurant). The menu doesn’t seem very big nor to have as much variety either, didn’t notice a salad option and would’ve been nice if they had a chicken sandwich but que sera sera. Again, there’s potential but it’s not quite there. They were very attentive and had good customer service and you could tell that a lot of effort and care was put into serving their customers.

Ate here today and was very happy with the food and excellent service. The guy working the front was very sweet and made or lunch extra special with his kindness. We witnessed the staff accidentally drop a box of chicken but handled it very professionally and made it right very quickly. The chicken was so flavorful, Mac n cheese with the little crunch was awesome and the red beans were excellent. Don’t miss out on this special place, the excellent food and service are hard to come by these days.

Ordered online, simple- thru Yelp 2 pc tender with fries (50¢ extra) … However, I was charged 50¢ for two extra sauces, when I got to the restaurant there was a sauce dispenser there for self serve… The chicken itself had great taste- however the spice was unexpected. I like spicy food as much as the next- but I wish this was specified that there was a “kick” to the chick!
