| - What a surprisingly good chicken place! The best we've had since living in Texas and Atlanta!
* At the drive-in lane, smiling, happy staff members walk out to your car to take your order and then deliver it. How unusual! But we liked the personal touch and the ability to easily ask questions.
* We ordered a family meal, chicken strips, fried okra, mashed potatoes and gravy, dinner rolls.
* Chicken strips are delicious! The meat is tender and tastes like it was marinated. The covering is light and crisp--almost like panko crust, but a little more solid. Also, it's not greasy at all.
* Mashed potatoes are just what you'd expect, and the white gravy is truly how it's made in the south. Delicious! Just the right amount of salt and pepper---not too much--and wonderfully thick. The gravy is worth going back for!
* Fried Okra--YUM!!!! I've really missed fried okra! One restaurant in Phoenix used to offer it (but theirs was too greasy, and they had terrible service, so they closed). This okra is exactly how it's supposed to be! The coating is light and not greasy. The okra is fresh and flavorful and not stringy or dried out. My only slight complaint is that they forgot to put ketchup in the box for us, but even without ketchup, these were wonderful.
* Dinner Rolls--FANTASTIC! These are really good, Southern dinner rolls--soft, doughy, a little bit sweet. Sort of like what you get at Texas Roadhouse, but even better!
* Packaging--I have to mention that the food was all packaged in nice boxes and tightly closed styrofoam containers. Even though most of what we ordered was fried, no grease came through the bottoms of the boxes. Everything was nice and neat and clean!
We will DEFINITELY be back!
