| - Soooo.... I was craving fried chicken on a Sunday morning but woke up too late to check out Stockyards on St Clair which closed early (imo) at 2:30pm. I didn't feel like driving toooo far so I looked up fried chicken places near me in the Junction area. I've been to other brunch places in the area but had no clue what to expect from an ale house... at first I was hesitant since I didn't really feel like drinking more, especially on a Sunday morning on a thanksgiving weekend lol.
I looked up pictures on yelp and the chicken looked good. Wasn't chicken and waffles but I was good for anything at that point of time. Boy.... was I in for a treat!!
First of all, since it was Thanksgiving weekend, they were serving a turkey dinner. But this was no regular turkey we're talking about here. It was two huge pieces of Fried Turkey Breast in their regular fried chicken batter w a ton of fancy sides (sorry I forgot , but there was bacon in there somewhere). The server was super nice and said it was the best thing he ever ate. If I didn't have turkey at family dinners over the weekend, I would have ordered that dish for two. Sadly, I didn't want to sleep all day from an itis coma, so I looked at the other options.
Second, to our surprise, this ale house not only makes ale but they also made their own sodas in a wide variety of flavours including but not limited to cola, cherry cola, ginger ale, cream soda, etc. Friend went w cherry cola. Holy geez, this was the best cherry cola that I've ever tasted. To be fair, I'm not a huge cherry cola fan, but it was so so so refreshing, light and not overly fizzy that I might have become a fan of that one brand of cherry cola. With that said, next time I'll definitely try their cream soda. For me, I had a couple of americanos. One downside is that they don't serve refillable drip coffee...but americano was okay.
Third, let's talk about the real meal deal. They don't have a specific brunch menu. So just full sized portions. Ordered two fried chicken dishes. One original and one Nashville Hot!! One thing I liked about their version of fried chicken was that it was Boneless!! Nice and Crispy on the outside and oh so so soft and succulent on the inside. Simply put, it was Deliciousss. Must dip in the mustard sauce! The Nashville hot version was drenched in chili spicy oil so it definitely left a lingering spice. Dipping the spicy one in the ranch sauce kind of helped. If you are like me and like just a little bit of spice, then go w the original because the original also has a bit of chilli flakes on the fried chicken too but not as super spicy as the other version. I really liked indie pale ale houses version of fried chicken! Definitely hit the spot!! Also on a side note, it came w a delicious potato salad.
Overall, good service. Great food. Will definitely come back again to try other items on their menu!!!!
