| - Are you sitting down? Stacy's fried chicken is better than LoLo's. Now, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. Thin savory coating on crispy skin, and the moistest, tenderest white meat I have ever had. EVER. I needed napkins to wipe the juice off my face, people. I almost gave them 5 stars for that alone.
We also got a 1/2 pound of brisket- thin, delicious slices of moist and smoky goodness. If Bobby Q's brisket is our 10, Stacy's is a 9. The sauce is also very very good. Southern boy Hubby needed him some fried okra which he liked a lot in spite of the fact that they served it with a cornmeal coating when he prefers the breading. Having come off a high from Fez's sweet potato fries the other night, he had to have some of those, too. His conclusion: Fez has no competition there. Stacy's were tasty for sure, but Fez's were much crispier and not so sweet that they "took the sweet out of my grape kool-aid." My mac & cheese tasted home-made, but had a tad more Velveeta than I care for. The sweet tea was sweet, but still not LoLo's sweet (which is complete saturation). We got a red velvet cake to go which I just got up to taste. LoLo's has a little better flavor (Hubby - who was a chemist for years- thinks they use a better grade red food dye), but Stacy's is moister.
We are so going back to try everything else. Stacy's is a real diamond in a rough neighborhood.
UPDATE: We've tried more. The beef sandwich: outrageous; the fried corn: yummo; the rib tips: delish; the cole slaw: one of the best in town; the black eyed peas: so much better than the band; the pecan pie: on par with my own (I used to manage a bakery). Stacy's rocks! Bumpin' it up to 5 stars.
