It's the first time I've had fried whiting fish and it didn't disappoint. And I was really on the lookout for good fried chicken in Tempe.
The fried leg and thigh had a nice medium and crispy crunchy coat that had a bit of seasoning in the batter. The leg was below-average to average in size. The thigh had one of those cuts in which the end of the thigh bone is cut off and includes a lot of the back ribs of the chicken and there is no meat on that part. It just makes it look bigger.
The whiting fish will definitely satisfy most seafood cravings. It has a slightly thinner but similar batter as the chicken. Nice and crispy and well seasoned. It has a medium fishiness which is perfectly fine for me (they also have swai and tilapia for mild fish).
The steamed collard greens was good and the mac n cheese seemed to have a cream cheese base and it stayed really nice and creamy the whole time.
The entrance to this little place is on the East side of the building or you (me) will find yourself walking all the way around next to the 'bertos drive thru. The staff is pleasant and made sure I was okay after forgetting my order at first. They apologized, had it out quickly, and I didn't really wait too long.
I'm always a fan of combos that let you try multiple items. The swai and tilapia is definitely next.
