| - I stumbled upon this place on opening day. As I am an avid fried chicken lover, I thought there is no way I could pass this up (even though it was day 1 of clean cleaning... oh well). I managed to get in line before a hoard of people came. As much as I wanted to try everything on the menu, I was a bit hesitant as it is a little more expensive then your average fried chicken joint. I decided to get a 3-piece fried chicken combo as well as one of their homemade items (corn and bean salad) and a buttermilk biscuit. I had to wait 15 min as they were preparing a fresh batch. And it was worth it. The breading is crisp and thick (Southern-style) and the chicken is really juicy, especially the white meat. I loved their buttermilk biscuits. It was flakey, buttery and soft on the inside. I was also really surprised by the corn and bean salad, it had this amazing chipotle kick that complemented the subtle lime flavour. Overall, great first impression.
As this place is fairly close to my work, I returned here twice again. I decided to go with fries this time as a side. The chicken again was being freshly made so I had to wait 15 min. The chicken was good again but the breading was a little too thick this time around. The fries were definitely disappointing. I tried them again to see if maybe I got a strange batch, but they were were very soft and floppy both times, not crisp at all. I decided to try their pecan and scor cookie, which is unreal.
They also have rotisserie chicken which I haven't tried, but they charge $20 for a whole bird (pretty pricey for a fast food joint). Overall, I'd give the fried chicken a try. The scor & pecan cookie is also a must.
