Quaint little joint. These folks really put love into their food! The Original Chicken Sandwich is probably one of the best things I've ever had in the Charleston area. The fries are delicious, especially dipped in the house-made spicy mayo. It's a small crew, so don't expect to get your food super fast like a larger restaurant. However, it's well worth the wait!! As for value, I do think these folks should increase their prices. The portions are massive and I felt like I should be paying at least a few dollars more. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Nashville Blue was the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten! Friendly pleasant greeting at otherwise very unassuming locale. Full bar behind the counter. Very small menu done extremely well - that's an excellent approach. Our food looked exactly like the Yelp pictures and that's a compliment and shows care and consistency. Call and order ahead if you're in a hurry- because everything shall be made to order. Can't wait to return. I promised an excellent review on way out and I don't give those lightly!

I cannot imagine a better chicken sandwich. In fact, shame on me for trying. The sweet and savory chicken sandwich is worth doing some very questionable things. I'm sure the other entrees there are great too, but I simply do not care. You'll also find yourself eating fry after fry, without realizing you've had 317 of them. It takes supreme will power to not be there gorging myself at the time of this review.

1st Place Cafe, which is tucked away in Nitro near a cluster of random warehouses, completely obliterated my past experiences with chicken sandwiches. The Sweet and Savory Chicken sandwich was tall, crisp and very savory indeed. The sauce really brought the dead bird to life as the flavor was unmatched. The side of fries could feed the entire town of Dunbar, so I recommend bringing a couple of friends to fatten up as well. The ambiance was intriguing as the TVs are bigger than the seating area. Boise State was lighting it up on the field -- just like the sauce did to my sandwich. I'll be back once I stop overpaying on PA's gas taxes.

I don't know why this restaurant came up for me I have never even heard of this place. But if their foo is as good as the advertising I'm sure it's awesome.

This little cafe was very clean and they are very friendly. The food was very good and the portions were very generous. You definitely need to share an order of fries. My hubby got the beef and bacon steak burger and I got the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich- both were very tasty !! You won't be disappointed!!

One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Chicken was super crispy and had tons of flavor! Servings were huge, I'd recommend sharing a order of fries for two people. Staff was also super nice!

Simply the best hot chicken sandwich in the region, and one of the best I've had anywhere. The fries are over the top as well. I've stopped in a few times over the last few months and the food has been consistently excellent. Don't miss out on this place!

This place is a breath of fresh air to Southern, WV - so very special that it is located close in Nitro. The owners are absolutely wonderful, kind and hospitable people. Both of them took time to engage us, make us feel welcome and show authentic & genuine kindheartedness. One thing that is a total staple of this place is the fair warning from the many patrons that say "come hungry" and share the true to life reactions when the food tray w/ their order is presented in front of them = "Oh, Wow that's a LOT of Fries"! Speaking of the fries, they are seasoned so well, and yes, Yes, YES, there are enough fries to share for the whole family in just one order. It is very apparent and realized so pleasantly when digging in, that the owner has a zeal and passion for cooking. I won't tell you to try one thing over another, because truthfully, one should experience all the menu items.

Stopped in for lunch. We ordered the hot dog and fries, and the Nashville Blue with fries. I had asked for ranch on the side for my fries. Portions are very generous, food was hot and fresh. The ranch was homemade, but very different. It was green, and tasted more like green goddess meets a dill ranch. We enjoyed our meals and will definitely come back.
First visit and will not be the last!Excellent house blend steak burger, fresh cut fries and hand breaded chicken tenders. Everything fresh made - not fast food but excellent made to order food. Limited menu which is a good thing. Let's them be great at what they do!

Pleasantly surprised to see a new restaurant in my old hometown! The owner was incredibly friendly and nice and excited about the res and community support. They have a somewhat rotating menu all made fresh to order. I thought it looked a little pricey at first but when I saw the portions I understood. The fries give Five Guys a run for their money. Bring you bib because you will be elbow deep in a big, delicious mess. I got the steak cheeseburger and fries and it was enough for two meals. Perfect thing as I was in search of a great burger for lunch. Too bad I don't live here anymore or I would definitely be a regular!
