| - 4 stars for the delicious fried chicken & friendly service. 3 stars for everything else I tried on the menu. I would *only* return for the fried chicken and mango peach pie.
Went on Wednesday @ 5pm and did not have to wait for more than a few minutes inside the restaurant. By the time we left at 6pm, lines had formed in the parking lot.
Fried chicken - Pretty darn yummy. Crispy and juicy with a natural flavour. They don't overkill it with seasonings and I like that. The 'spicy' chicken is *actually* spicy, not like the popeyes phony spicy.
Gravy - Surprisingly delicious. I was expecting a yucko KFC type gravy, but this was different in a good way.
Mashed Potatoes & Corn - Both standard but good.
Spaghetti & Fiesta Noodles - I wasn't a fan. I satisfied my curiosity after a few bites and that was more than enough. I understand the appeal of these dishes to someone who has fond childhood memories eating them, but as a first timer, I don't have the same appreciation. I thought both were overpowering and the spaghetti was too sweet. I loved the cook and texture of the spaghetti noodles, though. I was expecting mush but was surprised they were perfectly cooked.
Aloha Burger - This was okay but should note it is very sweet. The burger patty tasted like meatloaf. They throw a slice of pineapple in it and add a sweet dressing of some kind. Other than the fried chicken, this is one of the more neutral dishes.
Mango Peach Pie - I didn't think I'd like this, but I did. The crust is CRISPY, way crispier than Mcdonalds. I'd get it again, but I'm not itching to go back for the pies. Everyone seems to love them, some people walked out with 30 pies.
