Right in the heart of Pittsburgh University campus, the long awaited visit to this spot did not disappoint. I fully understand what they got going on. The chicken is just good and you can get it anyway….from southern to really hot, nuggets, tenders or sandwich ….modern menu , very simple. Worth visiting at least once.

Amazing chicken! Will definitely eat here again! Good thing I dont live close to this because I would be fat and broke, lol. A little pricey to eat everyday, but the food is way above the average run of the mill fast food in my opinion. Definitely better than Chick-fil-A and Wendy’s. Service was speedy. Love the late hours even on a weekday. The vibe of the restaurant is that of fast food, which, again, service was super fast. I ate here at 12:45am on a Thursday and the food was hot and ready. Coke machine wasnt working but I was allowed to upgrade to lemonade at no extra charge, so I was happy with that. Dining area was clean. I have no complaints.

Ordered take out on a Friday night. Food was made very quickly and nothing was forgotten! Food was good but didn’t travel well, would’ve been better eaten fresh in the restaurant. We got the chicken and waffles and tenders with mild seasoning. The tenders were very good. We got banana pudding for dessert, I would not get it again but it was okay. The employees were helpful.

I was excited to try this place, cuz who doesn’t like some good chicken as my friends said. Finished, walked out and the feeling of wanting to throw up began and lasted for 2h. I just got the hot sandwich and Mac and cheese on the side, will try the tenders next time but God damn that was some sorry excuse for a burger. The first bite tastes great, and the chicken slaps. Then you keep eating and you realize, damn this is terrible. Tried finishing it but I left 2 bites, same with the Mac.

I went here about a week ago and it’s was pretty busy my food took over an hour to come out which was totally fine because it was very busy but my order was wrong which was understandable in a busy time i informed the cashier and she threw away my order but did not tell anyone to fix it after waiting 20 more mins i asked someone else (the cook) if it was coming soon he said no one told them there was a remake order in and made it within the minute. The food is good and the workers cooking were super nice and great but the cashier was kinda rude and seemed annoyed to be doing her job.

Really good chicken shop. I can’t comment too much about their spicy chicken varieties but I’ve heard those are very good. I did get to try their Southern chicken tenders with their in house sauce and their ranch as well as their chocolate chip cookies.
The chicken itself was very good. Breaded nicely. Still a nice, tender texture on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Southern wasn’t spicy at all, which is what I wanted.
The two sauces were pretty good too. Ranch was relatively standard but tasty. I’m not sure if it’s made in house but props to them if it is. The other sauce was also pretty solid, a bit sweeter, a bit strange, but still good.
I had originally ordered the banana pudding, but they were out, so they gave me 2 chocolate chip cookies instead. Generous of them! The cookies were very good, a great size, and filled with plenty of chocolate. Great price, portion, and quality.
All in all, I’d come back here. Very tasty chicken and nice desserts for a reasonable price. I believe they may even have milkshakes, which would be great to try.

They have the nastiest macaroni that I have ever tasted. Don’t waste your time. Atmosphere and employees are nice. They also play good music. Chicken and waffles are also good but the macaroni made me physically ill.

The chicken tenders legit made me cry. I got the chicken tenders with the hot spice level, which was a big mistake. The spice rub on the hot chickens was excruciatingly hot and made my tongue burn and numb for a long time. I literally had to chug water every time. I took a bite. The tenders itself were nice and moist. I’ll definitely be back, but this time I’ll order the mild or medium hot. My friend got the waffles and chicken, and those were pretty good too according to him.

The woman working the register was kind and attentive. The people behind in the kitchen were kind as well. The food was very good as I was eating it. I don’t eat fast food more than 3-4 times a month and hadn’t had anything greasy for a minute, but I remember thinking how good it was! About 50 minutes later , it made me kind of sick even though it was so so good 🙁 I don’t know if it was my stomach or the chicken but it was immediate. it makes me sad because I have leftovers I want to eat but I don’t know if it’s the best idea. I got the medium spice tenders and fries with ranch. The ranch is good as well as the pickles and fry seasoning. I can handle spice very well I eat it frequently. I don’t believe the stomach sickness was from spice. No complaints just that my stomach hurt after eating it.

Met and Shar were phenomenal. They were so friendly and welcoming. This place also has immaculate vibes. The music they were bumping and the food was bomb. Definitely a place to get some chicken if your in the area!
