Really good chicken. I got the chicken breast strips and it’s like they literally tore that awesome giant first hunk of tender breast meat off the breast, you know the one I mean, and then deep fried that. Biscuit was buttery and had a good texture, was just a little over cooked, I bet when they’re perfectly cooked they’d make the whole meal. Macaroni salad tasted like the kind a nice Midwest grandma would bring to a church potluck. A little cheese, some crunchy veggies like onion. They even had fried liver and gizzards, my mom would’ve been stoked!

Good food and cheap. Lunch special 2 piece chicken and 2 sides for $5.49. Drinks are 90 cents. Cookies are 1 for 1.49 or 2 for 2.50. The only thing that went wrong was that they fried the chicken in burnt grease. I could taste it in the breading of the chicken. Hopefully you can catch them on a day when they have fresh cooking oil.

The chicken leg was 3 1/2 inches long. The thigh piece was small. I spent nearly $8 on Emaciated chicken and didn’t find out until I had driven 10 miles. This used to be a good place to pick up dinner on the way home. Not anymore.

The food was great! I feel the the dinning area is massively neglected! I understand everyone is understaffed now days. The separator between booth’s desperately needs painted and floor always looks like needs vacuumed!
