“ We stopped here while passing through town. Amazing fried chicken at a great price! Definitely will be back! ”
“ A variety of foods from bbq, fried chicken, livers, and is season spot fish. I find the food delicious and visit frequently. Don’t let the exterior of the building fool you as it is excellent service and food quality inside. The prices are reasonable however, like some places, there is an up-charge for credit card use. I would recommend going inside to get your food as the drive thru seems slower. ”
