I saw Stacy's on an episode of Best Food Ever and I had to go- I've got an obsession with Food Network shows.
When I noticed that Stacy's was in Phoenix and number 4 on the top ben places in the country, I knew it had to be good...But was I wrong.
It's kind of far out and there aren't really any people around. I thought maybe it was because people were taking their stuff to go, but no one came around. First, I couldn't even pay with my debit card because their iPad square which reads cards was out of commission, so I walked to the QT to use the ATM which wasn't that big of deal.
I ordered the smoked chicken over fries and a small side of fried okra. One piece of the chicken was pretty good, but the drumstick portion I had was kind of dry and chewy. There were very few fries, and they were soggy and drowned by the bbq sauce. The okra looked really promising. I could tell it was fresh, but it wasn't cooked long enough- and when you don't cook okra long enough it kind of has a weird slimy/numby feeling on the mouth. It came with some kind of sauce which wasn't that great.
I paid about $11 for the side and the chicken with fries and ended up throwing a little more than half of it away. I couldn't eat much of it.
