| - Spotted their van near my office recently, and it just sounded good. So I pull up Yelp, and apparently most others think it's good! So it made the list of places to visit. And today we were nearby, so we stopped in.
As the name implies, they have fried chicken. They have a few other things, like gumbo, but mostly it's fried chicken. And it was good fried chicken!
The chicken was crisp and not excessively greasy. So often fried food is cooked so long that the oil penetrates the food. But not here. The breading was crisp and not oily, and the meat was moist and tender. The breading itself has seasoning that gives it a gentle kick (just a bit of spice, but not really "hot").
The fried okra they apparently buy, but it was good. So wherever they buy it does a good job.
Their gumbo was a bit soupier than I like, but it was very flavorful and good. I prefer thicker, but that's just a texture thing. It was still very good. And they include dirty rice with it (which also was good).
Probably the only bummer is their "rolls". They seem like rolls you might buy at the grocery in cellophane bags. They should probably change those for Southern biscuits. They'd be a better fit with their cuisine, and probably taste better too.
Seating is limited.
