For those of you who are on the fence about going, I'll save you a few minutes: Don't take any of the random bad reviews to heart. It sounds like there have been a few negative experiences with customer service or wait times for orders. BUT it seems that often these folks leaving reviews just didn't understand what they were walking into. The woman who runs the place is a ray of sunshine of a human being (you'll know her when you meet her) and the fried chicken served here is hands down the best in the city, and you'll likely say it's the best you've ever had.
Just know these things ahead of time and you will be golden:
- Take out service only - no tables and no delivery.
- Allow 30+ minutes for your order, whether you call ahead (which you should) or walk in, BECAUSE THEY MAKE IT FRESH. It's scratch-battered and fried chicken - not served from under a heat lamp like at KFC or Popeye's.
- No walk-in's after a certain time (not certain about what time exactly)
- The price of your order will be slightly more if using a credit card in order to cover their fees - This is an OLD-SCHOOL take-out joint, so just be happy they aren't cash only like others :)
- You can't go wrong with any of their breading flavors, but it never hurts to start with original or seasoned.
- The honey biscuits are the truth.
Seriously, why are you still reading this? Call V's, order some chicken and biscuits and go to Euclid Beach for a picnic :)
