Upon walking into Hubee D's, I was impressed with the atmosphere. It carries a southern charm and locally grown theme that is complemented by a modern menu display. Ingredients in plain view, a nice dining room, and other touches make this place much classier than its price point.
I ordered a large chicken tender basket. The breading on the chicken was fried to the perfect crisp, and the tenders themselves were country thick. Paired with their signature (BBQ-Ranchish?) sauce, this chicken is worth building a restaurant empire around. Fries, cornbread, and coleslaw also come with the basket. Fries were hand-cut and pretty tasty, but i prefer mine a little crispier. Cornbread tasted homemade and fresh. The slaw was awesome - a very conservative amount of ranch-vinaigrette-like dressing makes it seem like a cole slaw salad as opposed to the frequent overly mayonnaised slaws. Overall, the basket greatly exceeded my expectations. Next time i'll be trying the fried banana pudding.
