It wasn’t bad but I have for sure tried better fried chicken sandwiches in my life.We had the waf waf chicky chicky, the fried chicken sandwich and fries.You order at the counter, they give you a number and they bring the food to your table. And if you need anything else (napkins, etc) you need to go to the bar and ask for it.They give you plastic cutlery . View all feedback.

Nice take on southern style cuisine focusing around fried chicken. Great atmosphere and service. If you’re going for brunch make a reservation.
