KFC or Popeyes makes better fried chicken if that's even a measure. If you leave your chicken for 10-20 minutes, as in take it to go, you couldn't even eat it cause it's frozen chicken that becomes rubber when it gets to room temperature. Too much rubbery fat too. They have strange hours, never know when they decide to close on a moment's notice, just because it's slow or they feel like it.

The hot, crispy, and juicy fried chicken served with cornbread and house-made sesame slaw was a standout dish. My friends both ordered the fried chicken sandwich with homemade fries, and they couldn't have been happier. It's a great complement to enjoy alongside the excellent beers at Rampart Valley Brewing.

The fried chicken plate was really quite good, juicy on the inside, crisp on the outside. I really liked the vinegar based cole slaw and crispy cornbread sides. We dined on a Sunday and there was a pretty good jazz ensemble playing from 4-6 pm.
