Chicken 9.5/10 , crunchy, juicy, flavorful and not overtly oily like Shawn’s chicken. Only downside is that the spicy version being too mild. Fries 7/10, solid, nothing special. Gravy 6/10 a little too thick for my liking.

👎👎👎❌❌❌ I recently went to this fried chicken takeout place to order and wait for my food, and it was by far the worst experience of my life. The moment I walked in, I was hit with a nauseating stench of old, smelly oil. The whole place reeked of it, making it hard to even think about eating the food. As a fried chicken lover, I had high hopes, but they were quickly dashed. The quality of the fries was abysmal—soggy, greasy, and flavorless. I can't believe this place has decent Google reviews because nothing about my meal was acceptable. The chicken pieces were a nightmare. Instead of the usual thigh, legs, and breast pieces, I was served chicken necks and wings. It felt like they had scraped the bottom of the barrel for whatever scraps they could find. The cleanliness of this place was the worst I've ever seen. There were spider webs everywhere, the counters and equipment were filthy, and the restroom door was propped open with boxes. It was clear that hygiene is not a priority here. This place is an insult to fried chicken. If you value your stomach and taste buds, stay far away from this horrendous establishment.

Ok, I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now. I usually read reviews before I even attempt to walk into a place unknown. I must admit, the reviews are right! One of the best places to get fried chicken. No disappointments. I got the 10 piece Family Meal (10pcs chicken (half/half), "Family" (large) fries, and medium gravy). They have the right crispiness level for both the spicy and regular, surprising as I usually have to order the spicy in order to get that satisfying crunch. Anyways, the spicy is quite light on the "spice". The fries were good, although I like my fries extra crunchy; they were soft to bite into but still had a crispy exterior. The gravy. What can I say, but wow! It's actually made with a roux (flour, fat). I've never in my life experienced real gravy when ordering fried chicken. Needless to say, that's some tasty gravy 🤤 I was told to wait 5 minutes when ordering, and that's what I got. My regular chicken was still piping hot when I bit into it 10 minutes later. The spicy one was still hot, but had cooled. Overall, what a pleasant experience. I didn't even get the prompt for tipping as there wasn't one 😆. You honestly can't argue with the price. I've never ever gotten a 10 piece, large fries, and a regular gravy for $35 or anywhere close to that. Go to Churches or Jollybee and it's easily $10 more. Super friendly, counter staff. Fast service and you get what they say. This might just be my new go to place whenever I'm in the area. Gotta watch the weight though 😆 One thing that you might want to be cautious of is if your parking there. It can be a little on the more compact side. Still space between cars, but watch out when someone is pulling out.
