| - Finally made it out. Tried Mrs. White's one day, and then here the next day. It was interesting contrasting what mother and son do differently, which is basically everything.
First off, this is a modern, chain-type restaurant. I'd mistakenly thought it was more of a fast food place where you order and pick up yourself, but was disappointed to learn it's waitered. It's expensive enough as is and I didn't really appreciate having to tip on top of that, but it does keep a lot more people employed.
Service was extremely cordial and friendly and employees seem to be having a great time at work, which is a treasure to find. I think I saw LoLo himself (lol) counting his cash at the register, and he sho 'nuf looks happy as all get out so I guess he's doing well for himself. The t-shirts are great. The ambiance works much better than Mrs White's, where you feel more like you're in a soup kitchen for the homeless.
The food? Well, the mac and cheese was heavenly - that had to be Velveeta, it was so creamy and thick. My heart almost stopped for two reasons: the taste AND the cholesterol. I opted for chicken tenders instead of the fried because I didn't feel like dealing with the bones. So, 3 tenders and a very thin waffle for 12 bucks means I won't be back soon. Too bad, too, because it's fun and good. The menu has so many options, it took me a good 10 minutes to decide what to order. There's so many other things I'd like to try - perhaps down the line, the next time I visit AZ.
I can think of some better fried chicken here in SoCal but I still say give this a shot. You may end up loving it.
