TLDR: is you are in town it's a must have.Best chicken. Everytime.im.in Chaotesville it's a must pit stop. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just amazing good chicken and sides.They have a few tables but mainly is carry out.Stop by if you can. you wont regret it.

Actually the worst service I’ve ever received in my life. I went in to grab my online order and was told that the wait would be 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I asked the girl at the counter how much longer. She said, dryly, that the wait is now 20 minutes. After waiting 30 minutes, it turned out my food had been ready the entire time. It was sitting on their takeout shelf. The girl at the counter had never bothered to check. I asked them to remake the food. It still was not great. Chicken deff needs more seasoning. Girl behind the counter had her hood up and a horrible attitude.

Wayside is a Charlottesville staple. Great meal combos and family packs and their fried chicken can't be beat. Inside its super casual booths to sit and eat. Old school style pegboard menu. Service is fast and efficient. Wayside has been around for a long time and their chicken is great, especially on UVA game days.

Now, it's not the best fried chicken I've had! I'm old school and love pan fried chicken, but Wayside is arguably the best in Charlottesville!

Really, really good and down home food. Casual atmosphere and quick service most of the time. You gotta try it if you haven't.

Unsanitary cashiers. Playing in their hair and face with their hands. Wiping their mouth with their hands. They had an attitude about giving me my order. It was pulled later, than requested. The cashier's were hesitant, waited on food that was ready to go.

Chicken was good and flavorful, order sat on counter for extended time because they never called number out...place could use a good scrub down, especially bathroom.

For what it's worth, and considering the price, it's pretty good chicken.
