We ordered the Carolina, Nashville, chicken tenders and waffle fries. The Nashville is probably my favorite because I like spicy and it hits the spot while cooling down with a ranch slaw. The Carolina is less spicy and has a sweet tangy flavor which was also very good. This place is small but don’t get deterred because the food is delicious. If you’re craving a really good fried chicken sandwich this is the place to go! They also gave us a token for 10% off next time we come. I will be saving that. Just go!

WOW! It’s nice to have a place to grab a quick bite that’s right in between my home and the office.
I’ve been in three times and tried their three chicken sandwiches. Service was prompt- I was served in 5-8 minutes or less. Food quality was high. Sandwiches are a great size, were served HOT, and the sides were great. Flavor is absolutely there.
My favorite so far is “The Nashville”. They warn you, it is spicy. I thought it was the perfect blend of flavor- hot, seasoned, and juicy. Second favorite was definitely “The Carolina”. The sauce was sweet, but not overwhelming- it complimented the seasoning well. Presentation was awesome. Can’t go wrong with the classic either. Simple sandwich and of course tasted great.
Prices were appropriate for the portions. Staff was attentive. Owners seemed present and appreciative.
Glad to see this place has been busy. Jacksonville needs more successful local businesses. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Shit kinda slap. It was really hard to find a Nashville Hot sandwich in this area. The staff were very kind. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was unique. Will be coming again.

For this to be a chicken restaurant, the chicken was disgusting. I got The Nashville . The flavor was overpowering.The sauce is just a bunch of seasonings, so it’s gritty and too strong. The chicken is awful. Biting through it, I had to keep checking if it was raw. It was like biting through a stack of rubber bands, then ripping it off the sandwhich with my teeth, because I couldn’t bite all the way through it. I took 3 bites and threw the rest out. I can’t understand why you’d sell this? There was so much seasoning, I couldn’t taste anything else on the sandwhich, besides an old oil flavor. The Waffle Fries were horrible. No salt and they were tough…like stale tough? I had to rip them to bite through them, too. It’s like they were reheated, but absolutely not fresh. The Sweet Corn Nuggets were good and so was the Fried Pickles. However, everything shared the same old oil flavor. The ranch was really good. Overall, I would absolutely NOT return. I’ve never had chicken that bad.

My wife and I ordered a lot of food to try this place out. The sandwiches were amazing, very crunchy and saucy. I got the Nashville while she got the Carolina. The spice on my sandwich was enjoyable while hers was delectably sweet. We also tried the wings because it’s a chicken place but they were just standard wings you can get from a pizza restaurant. They were a bit over cooked and hard to eat because of how chewy they were. I had the Carolina reaper and my wife got BBQ. The Carolina reaper sauce was left lacking it was spicy but not thick while the BBQ was divine. It was thick, savory, rich and very very flavorful overall. As for sides we got the jalapeno poppers and curly fries. We enjoyed both. The fries were well cooked and very crunchy just like they should be.
In conclusion this place was pretty good. As I picked up the food, the inside looked clean and entertaining. Their food was flavorful excluding the overcooked wings but I think they have a missed opportunity on not including a boneless option on their menu. We would definitely go back for their sandwiches.

Food prepared to perfection, quality chicken! $22 takeout for “The Roost” & 4-piece Tenders.
Decided on “The Roost” advertised with mikes hot honey but the chicken itself didn’t have the typical heat that I was expecting Waffle was yummy with side of whipped butter & syrup. Next time I’ll have to try the Nashville Hot ️
Chicken tenders (4) were crispy, thick, and amazing Some of the best in Jacksonville!
Ordering system is missing sauce options but I manually requested in special note.

The Nashville Chicken Sandwich was the best I’ve had, the Caribbean Jerk Wings were a 10/10 and the Fried Pickles were on point. Will definitely be coming back again soon

So we came here hoping for delicious chicken tenders. Sadly, the tenders we got seemed to be just premade frozen tenders. The service was basically call for someone to get service when we came here. The AC was working but there was no place to put your trash or baskets when done with them. There was very little or no music so the atmosphere was lacking.
