| - I had a three + hour layover at Charlotte Douglas International airport, and I arrived at 7 am, east coast time, so it was 4 am for me. I wasn't feeling all that hot, and though I wasn't hungry, I wanted to try to sleep at my gate, so I thought I would take care of eating to get it out of the way. Being from CA, I had never heard of Bojangles before, but I thought I would give it a shot, since they 1) had breakfast and 2) were right there when I got off my plane, so it took very little brainpower to decide on what to eat.
I got the egg and cheese biscuit meal, which came with a drink (I got OJ) and "botato rounds" which were silver dollar sized hash browns. I opened up my biscuit and was pleased to see it wasn't some tiny little thing, it was warm and it smelled good. So I took a bite.
HOLY GUACAMOLE! It was SO good. As soon as I took my first bite I was immediately starving and all sense of not feeling well dissipated. The biscuit was so tasty, I couldn't believe it. Buttery and salty and everything a good biscuit should be. The egg and cheese balanced it out perfectly, so it wasn't dry and difficult to swallow. I scarfed it down and considered getting another one. I was pleasantly surprised by the little kick of spice on the hash browns. Nothing out of this world or anything, but more than just a salty taste (they could have been a tad warmer, but still good, nonetheless).
I had another long layover on my way back, and this time it was around lunch time. I was so tempted by that breakfast sandwich, I almost got another one (since you can get breakfast all day), but wound up trying the 2 piece dinner with a breast and thigh, a biscuit and a side (I got mashed potatoes and gravy). It's been a long time since I have had a piece of fried chicken, but I can say with confidence that it was way better than I remember KFC being. The chicken has a kick, too, and while it certainly wasn't over-whelmingly spicy or anything, it did register as more than just some flavoring thrown in there. The mashed potatoes were just fine, nothing amazing, but very satisfying eaten with my biscuit.
For a fast food joint, it certainly exceeded my expectations! If I ever pass through Charlotte Douglas International airport again, I'll be eating here!
