| - The Broasted Chicken is the bomb. I don't know how I never thought to come here during all those twenty-some years I lived in the South Hills. I mean, I guess I do know why and it's because the place doesn't look fancy on the outside (and neither is it on the inside). The front is a deli, so unless you want a pound of chipped ham or whatever meat and cheeses you need for your lunches, you wouldn't think to come in. Beyond the deli counter is a separate room that houses the kitchen and the dining room. It looks like a cafeteria, but I would definitely not call their food cafeteria food. Simple concept: you order at the counter, they give you a number and they bring your food to you when it's ready.
My husband and I were in the area and after reading other reviews, we both went with the Broasted Chicken Dinner. For $8.29, it comes with cole slaw and a choice of potato; I got the broasted and he got the mashed. The chicken dinner seriously is half a chicken: you get a thigh, a breast and a whole wing. Whatever magic they're doing in the kitchen, this chicken is crunchy on the outside, so incredibly moist on the inside and it's seasoned to perfection. Forget KFC, this is the place to go for breaded chicken and for an incredibly affordable price too. The cole slaw was delicious, mostly tangy and sweet, and just the slightest bit creamy. The broasted potatoes, which are just wedge potatoes, were pretty darn good. Again, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Perfection.
Although it's not very fancy, the food is just fantastic for the price. The menu is huge so I'm sure we will be back for more!
