Slappy's Chicken - Winston-Salem

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the enthusiastic staff and the delicious food. Slav was exceptional, and as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for five years, I can confidently say the cabbage was well-prepared. The sauce was intriguing, albeit a bit on the salty side. However, the service and the presentation were outstanding! This place is perfect for a cozy gathering, rather than a loud celebration for a sports team (thank goodness!). Overall, it's a lovely dining experience with great staff!

The bun and sides were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy on the inside with a perfectly crispy exterior, even after soaking in the savory sauce, which had a delightful balance of spicy and sweet flavors. The sides were also impressive; the baked beans had a smoky flavor with just a hint of heat, the mayo-based potato salad was beautifully made, and the homemade mac and cheese was wonderfully creamy. The coleslaw added a nice touch as well.

I absolutely love this restaurant, but is it permanently closed? It's been closed for over a year now—almost two years, in fact—supposedly for "remodeling." Considering the size of the building, that seems like an excessively long time. It shouldn't take this long to update such a small space. There must be something going on behind the scenes. Unfortunately, given how long it's been closed, I'm starting to lose hope that it will ever reopen. Please provide us with an update so we know what's happening. I really enjoy Slappy Chicken and would be very disappointed if it turns out to be permanently closed.

We took on LAST Friday, they were open before they decided to remodel them to celebrate my Nabeby's birthday dinner at home. It was a terrible rainy day, but I called to make this order, I was greeted with the sunny, warm service. I told him it was my birthday and I ordered Slappys to enjoy the first time. They entertained me when I relished how I had her food many times and was excited to see what my Hubby would think of the chicken. They thought it was adorable, but also a funny coincidence, because it was the last day they wanted to be open so that we came in the time as if it were fate. Anyway, they let me know that I wrapped the family meal, consisting of a whole dipped chicken, two sides, and rolls separately from all the others to soggy to avoid for $25. What a great value! Because of the distance from my house, they suggested that I have the sauce on the side, so it is not soggy from the heat and time that it travels for us to really enjoy it. I'm glad we did this. The chicken remained very crispy and we dipped every bite into the sauce that she packed for us. My Hubby was pleasantly surprised by the unique spices and taste of the sauce, while the sides were also excellent. The Mac and the cheese were nicely baked and the potato salad had generous sprinkles of bacon bits in it. Definitely the best help for comparable BBQ joints I had elsewhere in the area. When it reappears, my Hubby is excited to try the chicken completely the next time!

We stopped last night when Co-workers saved it. There are not many options on the menu, but their fried chicken tasted great! The sauce was unique, not too spicy, but it has a kick! Not bad for $8.99 meal.
