Fried Chicken that is why you go here. I suspect the catfish is worth a trip too. Bit if you are from out of town, stop in for the fried chicken (a thigh a leg fwiw) Being from a NW location I have access to good chicken that is fried, but not the high art of Fried Chicken that is practiced here. Plenty of pepper in the dredge, and the fry is the sort that makes you stop talking. And the chicken tastes... chickeny which is lost from the chicken in larger chains. The sides are solid too. Right up the middle. And eat in if you can that way everything is at its crispy, hot best.

The chicken at this restaurant is consistently hot and fresh, with a great flavor that sets it apart from other places in the area known as the chicken triangle. However, the standout item at this establishment is not the chicken, but rather the burgers. They offer juicy, flavorful burgers with all the toppings, making them a must-try, especially the double or triple cheeseburger which may just be the best in the entire state. The secret to their delicious burgers may be that they soak them in au jus, the same sauce typically served with prime rib. The service is always speedy and friendly, with drive-through lines wrapping around the building due to the quick service.
