Please don’t. Save your money this isn’t worthy.

I drive past this location often and was confused when I googled the address because it’s inside the Shell Gas Station. The pieces were a good portion and seasoned well not too salty. Didn’t get a biscuit because it was separate. Overall good spot to grab lunch because they close at 4

My review is from grubhub ordering. I ordered 3 piece chicken (mixed) with waffle fries. Everything from order to delivery went smoothly, except instead of getting what I ordered, I got spicy chicken strips! There were no waffle fries so they gave me extra chicken...but how would I know it was extra when it wasn't what I ordered? Also, the bag it was delivered in was not sealed at all...it barely closed! Totally disappointed...

It's a Louisiana based fried chicken chain found mostly in convenience stores and gas stations. The Krispy Krunchy Chicken sign at the Lithia Food Mart always looks so enticing. I've passed by it so many times over the years. But it wasn't until recently that I decided to try it after seeing many reviews from Yelp friends at other locations. I don't really know much about this location. All I know is that they are closed on Sundays. I attempted to go there twice in 2 days. That's my bad for not checking the hours of operation.Anyway, I walked in on a Monday to fresh chicken and honey biscuits. Their online menu appears to have more items than what they have on a given day. Be mindful of that when ordering online. I'm glad I visited in person just to see what was available. It was an easy decision. I selected the 2 piece white meat (breast and a wing) chicken that comes with a honey biscuit. They put both of our orders in one box. It was still hot when I got home. The breast meat was actually the best part. It was juicy and tender inside, with a mild taste of Cajun marinade. The outer breading on the skin was crispy and crunchy. There was no kick of spice (like Popeyes), but it was still very tasty with whatever blend of seasonings that they use. They may have spicier options. I didn't really ask. My husband said that the Publix chicken is better. Maybe it is, but I'm actually sick of eating Publix chicken and needed a change of pace. The breading and the spices are different enough from other fast food chains. This was a welcomed change. So much so, that I will be going back for more. If anything, I'll go back for the biscuits. They were also kind of crunchy, but not in a dry way. I can't explain it. I love that I could taste the butter with the sweet honey glaze. Hey, it was different! I'm also hoping to try the blueberry biscuits the next time they have them available. I see that they also have fried shrimp and chicken tenders. I'll update the review once I try more items.I'm actually happy that there is a location nearby. It gives me more options for fried chicken. It's in a Food Mart that also appears to be clean, and the service was quick. I'm not sure why I didn't try it sooner.

Yooooooo!!!! My review is from Doordash ordering. The app says this one is here. I will responsibly verify tomorrow. But like i was saying!? Yoooooooooooo!!!!! This i kid you not!!! Is the beat chicken i ever tasted that isn't KFC or Popeyes! I went with the 12 piece mix and the honey biscuits. The biscuits were good. Nife n fluffy centers but in my opinion they lacked that extra umph! Of the honey. I like em like drench in honey. But hey hey hey! It's called; "Krispy krunchy chicken", not "yummy honey drench biscuits"Lol the chicken came in a aluminum tray covered in aluminum. I seriously felt bad for my dasher though! I wish i knew it was coming like that! I would've given them better tip! It was freaking hot! I bet their car still smells like heaven! Everything you need to know about the chicken its on the name of the restaurant and the beat part!? It's freaking accurate!! Its crispy n not like crunchy to the point of bleeding gums... like some other places. I was impressed with the skin flavor to n the fact that the meat also have actual freaking flavor! Most places don't do pre seasoning. That chicken tasted like they season them the day before n then fry em the next day. I had a bad experience in the new churches chicken in plant city. That chicken was so bland! I'm not to familiar with the brand but i say Krispy Krunchy chicken will have these old timer brands running for their money. I will definitely have to show up in person next time. They have spicy options i was scared lol i will try next time! Will definitely recommend this chicken place! Uhm bring a hot box or bag. Cuz i dunno if they run out of boxes fast but if u get your order on aluminum? It's gonna be to hot to hold on a lap!

For the last four DoorDash orders, they've not had common items and substituted them with something else. However, with this last order (3pc fried white chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuit) they were out of everything apparently and just sent a bunch of tenders with nothing else.If I wanted tenders that's what I would have ordered. If you can't keep your top menu items in stock... stop telling people they can order them.Save your money and avoid this restaurant.

Do not order on line from this place. You will not get what you ordered.

Gilbert

Tasty, good seasoning and very "Krunchy". Definitely my number one local place for fried chicken.

Nita Theirse

This chicken is addictive. I drove 20 minutes out of my way to get it. First gas station food worth it for me.
