| - Quik It has been around for a long time and I remember my mom stopping by after church to pick up chicken for dinner or just to munch on. I was in the neighborhood and had a hankering for something soulful, so I stopped.
I MUST say something about the appearance of the "joint". This is a gas station, restaurant and hair place rolled into one but separated by 2 doors. Talk about convenience...if you're into weaves n stuff. Lol The restaurant looks like a fast food establishment but nothing was inviting about it. There are signs advertising specials everywhere but they are very confusing because a few of them had different prices for the same combos. You're better off just paying attention to the board behind the counter. To the left of the counter are a few old greasy fryers and based on the looks of them, I doubt they work. No big deal but they're dirty and I just wonder why someone would put them there...of all places. Did I say they are dirty?
The sides are set up in plain view, just like the picture on here shows. I'm addition to the items I selected, the case held stewed tomatoes, red beans n rice, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans and I may be missing something. There were sweets advertised on one of the posters but I don't remember seeing a list of what was available. The chicken is supposed to be the star of the show but, when I visited tonight, it was sitting off to the side with no warmer on and I didn't smell that just fried chicken smell. You know the smell I'm talking about. (Unless you've never fried chicken--- tell me it ain't so!) Anyway, I didn't feel like being inquisitive so I just went with the Quik It bowl which consisted of 2 sides and cornbread for $3.99. I chose greens and Mac n cheese to go. The lady who waited on us was very nice and offered up smiles which I truly appreciate.
When I got home and tasted everything, it wasn't bad. I will even venture to say it was tasty. The greens were seasoned well. The Mac n cheese was the Stouffer type but a tad bit cheesier if that makes sense. It was the comfort food I needed on this chilly night. Now, the cornbread muffin may need its own review because it was HEAVENLY! OMG...it was like a sweet pillow of moist ground corn. Sorry, I can't even put it into words. Let me put it to you like this, when I saw my daughter almost throw away her untouched muffin, I was ready to dive across the kitchen to stop her from committing that sin! Lol It really was yummy!
I plan to go back and visit to try the chicken from my past and then update this review.
