Went to Sherwin-Williams to buy some paint, and I was reminded that I had read an article that this place was still operating. So, I decided to drop in, and I'm always down for some fried chicken. I thought I was winning because they had a special that day, 8-pc dark for $8.62. I also ordered the sweet potato fries and sweet potato casserole. The chicken was ok. It was a little dry, which was weird, because it's hard to overcook thighs. They're like the fattiest part of the chicken. The sweet potato fries had no flavor and were limp. They need to switch to the Tropic Island brand sold at Costco. And the sweet potato casserole was a disappointment. The pecans were brown, had no flavor, and weren't fresh. The casserole itself was ok after I added some butter, sugar and cinnamon, but I couldn't get over the pecans, and threw it away. Service was good. The people are rather pleasant and easy to work with. Ambience is lacking, though. I appreciate nostalgia, such as the newspaper ads from the 80's, but the plastic containers in the display cases when you first walk in need to go. It's time.

Dirty looking place, chicken was overcooked and too dried out. Not what I expected. I feel like I wasted $11.00

Definitely a staple in the neighborhood. This place has been around for years and the food/service has always been A-1. Some of the best fried chicken and fries in the city.

Thank you so much for a great experience! I'm from Atl & it's hard to find good fried chicken while out of town but this place is definitely the spot to go! They customer service was I didn't feel rushed although it was busy the cashier was very helpful & friendly. The chicken was fresh crispy & flavorful and you can't beat the price. Will definitely be my go to spot when I come back tp visit.
