"Fried chicken is amazing! Never super greasy and very tasty. The potato wedges are seasoned perfectly and I’m not a fan of the macaroni and cheese because of the flavor (tomato like?), the employees are friendly too! Overall, really good place!"

"No real issues, came at lunch time and the drive thru was 6 cars deep. The staff said it would be 15-20min wait for wings. So I decided on the 2 piece dinner instead. The chicken could have been fresher but the wedges had just came out. I see why they were out of wings though, someone had just orded a 50 piece in the drive-thru. No real issues, sometimes things happen"

"Very pleased with the taste and quality of the food. Very nice menue selection , some not typical at a chicken place which was a nice surprise Unfortunately, they were out of some of the selections. Prices were reasonable. The inside restaurant was clean and plenty of room for families or larger parties."

"Year later review... food still just as good. First time through drive through was flawless, went inside to get something else and took a while. Still very worth the visit. Place never disappoints. Had several of the moose combos with plenty of dipping sauces and wedges. Chicken never feels overly greasy and is always a quick meal to feed a family."

"Best chicken outside of my house! I go through the drive - thru. I hate the sides, except for apples & pinto beans. I buy Turnip Greens & potato salad, but I take it home & Dr it up to my taste, then I can eat it. I dont eat white rice. Its not healthy for me. The gravy is good though. The Mac & cheese is the worst ever. The chicken is what I really go for! I can't speak to the atmosphere & seating."
