| - I wasn't sure what I wanted for lunch, so I was playing on my phone about to open the Yelp App and look for something to eat around work. Right next to my Yelp App was my Church's Chicken App. I had downloaded it awhile ago but it kind of gets lost in the shuffle. They usually have pretty good coupons on the app and some chicken actually sounded good. I browsed their coupons (download the app btw...it really does have good coupons!), and came across one that was for 5 pieces of chicken or strips, 2 small sides and 2 biscuits for only $6.00. Score! Drove down to this one since I hadn't been before, and decided to use the coupon.
When I pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that this was a tiny ass Church's! No drive thru, real small storefront with maybe 5 tables total. The place seemed a little run down, dingy and sad to say, kind of dirty! The floor was sticky and you could see all the footprint marks on the ground. The tables and chairs seemed coated with a film of years of old chicken grease lol. I decided to place my order to go. I went with 5 spicy strips, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as my sides, and it came with the 2 biscuits. Total was $6.51. Can't beat the price! Here is how the food was................
Spicy Strips- These were very good! They hooked me up with 5 nice sized strips. They were freshly cooked, crunchy outside and moist inside. They had a little kick to them, but they definitely weren't "spicy" per say. Very good and I would definitely get them again!
Mac and Cheese- Took the lid off and it didn't look too great. One bite in though, and I was happily surprised. It was very creamy and delicious. Some of the cheese on top was almost even "broiled" so it added a nice texture. Some of the better fast food mac and cheese I have sampled. I wouldn't have thought so by the initial look of it, but I would definitely get it again.
Mashed Potatoes- Pretty simple and to the point. Smooth, whipped potatoes, topped with a nice brown gravy. Tasted very good. Not as good as Popeye's mashed potatoes and gravy, but still very good.
Biscuits- The biscuits today were just a tad "off". They were hot and seemed fresh, but they were a bit hard today and seemed a little bit stale. The flavor of them was not as buttery as past Church's biscuits either. I ate them, but was not too impressed.
Overall, it was a pretty good lunch. I doubt I would come back to this specific one again (there is another one about a mile away on Peoria Ave which is better) because of the lack of drive thru and the grimy interior. The food was good though and the cashier was friendly. A-OK by me!
