It has a private lot and I am assuming it used to be some sort of a fast food Mexican place. The staff is very friendly. Not many tables. I got my order to go. Spicy Garlic tenders and fries. Very tasty. A little bit of kick but no too bad even though the menu shows 3 hot peppers for spice level. The fries are the crinkle cut kind so not fresh cut but still very good. I'd go back for sure.

I had a taste for some good fried chicken and stopped at this place. What a mistake! I had my…read morereservations but noooo! I had to go against my gut feeling. When will I learn? This KFC is on Decker Street - in the hood. I ordered an eight-piece bucket of extra-crispy, dark meat only. I ordered 'dark' because I figured I had a better chance of it being juicy. Wrong!! When I got this yard-bird home, (this is 'yard-bird;' not chicken. Once you see the pictures you'll understand.) I opened the bucket and looked in. My heart sank. I began to take out the old, dry pieces of yard-bird and my anger grew. Should I take this leathery-looking sh*t back or just try to salvage what I can? I just didn't feel like driving back so... I'll write about it and take pictures instead! So here it is, in all its ugliness. I won't be back again in this life. That's a promise. A couple of the pictures have one of my dogs looking on. He seemed a bit confused by this ugly dry yard-bird in my hand. He didn't know whether to jump and beg for my food like he usually does, or to run like the dickens.

We stopped in for lunch and let me tell you... those collard greens are something special. Packed with flavor and the perfect side to make you feel like you're sitting at grandma's table. Now let's talk about the Chicken & Waffles -- hot, fresh, and made with love. The waffle had the most delicious vanilla flavor that reminded me of a funnel cake, with that perfect balance of fluffy inside and crispy edges. Paired with that crispy chicken, it was the kind of comfort food combo that just hits the spot. Come hungry because this is the kind of meal that reminds you why soul food has a way of bringing people together. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the AC was out that day and I can say it was pretty warm inside. But the service was great and our server was so sweet and a true trooper!

I've been to Kiki's Chicken & Waffles on Parkland Road several times for breakfast and lunch,…read moreunfortunately, this most recent visit was disappointing--not only because of the food, but also because of the customer service. When a customer walks into your restaurant, they should be greeted and acknowledged. I stood there for a few minutes before anyone acknowledged me, and the first thing I was asked was whether I had placed an online order. The restaurant was not full at the time, so I found that experience disappointing. A simple "Welcome in, we'll be with you shortly" would have made a big difference. I ordered Kiki's Soul Food Plate with four chicken wings, string beans, sweet potato soufflé, and a muffin, along with a side of collard greens. The chicken wings were fried to a good consistency, but once I bit into them, the chicken was extremely dry--much drier than I expected. The string beans and collard greens were okay, but honestly, neither was anything special. The sweet potato soufflé was another surprise. When I took a bite, I tasted what seemed to be a clove, and I actually had to spit it out. That was definitely not what I expected when ordering sweet potato soufflé I am not a big fan of cloves. The muffin was probably the best part of the meal. It was hot, edible, and had more of a cake-like texture, which I actually enjoyed. I'm not someone who judges a restaurant based on one visit, especially since I've eaten at Kiki's several times before. But this particular visit just didn't live up to my previous experiences. The food and the service both missed the mark this time. I hope this was simply an off day because I would like to see Kiki's do better.

They were very helpful and upbeat. While waiting for the chicken I noticed the colorful murals on the wall and it gave the place a nice vibe There were table and chairs inside and outside too. Our order was ready promptly and looked delicious. I had the number 4, which was a chicken slider and my side was crispy fries. They offered 5 heat levels, I had the number 2. They have the reaper which you have to sign a waiver. Let me just say the chicken slider and fries were delicious. Daves uses high quality chicken and you can tell by the taste. I will definitely return.

This place has me excited when it comes to the "Dave's Not Chicken" menu. I ordered Cauli Dave's #3, which is 1 Cauli Tender & 1 Cauli Slider W/ Fries. This is so delicious! Everything has that perfect crispy and a taste that melts in your mouth. The sauce and honey make it just that much better. An amazing combination. My husband ordered the Saucy Bites W/Fries. He stated the meal was crispy and fulfilling. We also ordered the Small Cauliflower Top Loaded Fries. This was another hit for me! It comes with a cheese sauce, pickles and kale slaw topped with cauli bites and a drizzle of Dave's sauce. It tastes so good! If you have never eaten here or tried the cauli menu, please try it. I highly recommend it. As always great service and clean restaurant.

I got fried wings , fried shrimp with shrimp fried rice (lunch deal $12) and my boyfriend ordered chicken and broccoli with white rice. $22 in total for two meals including drinks which is awesome in this economy. The lunch specials are worth it . We ate there and finished the rest for dinner.

That's some serious stuff. To get a C rating in SC you have to miss a lot. Guys please check the ratings of places before you order because it's crazy that happened. Anyway I threw the food out before I could take a photo. The teriyaki chicken looked a mess and unappetizing but the wings and friend rice looked great we just couldn't eat it due to the roach and the C rating. Better to be safe than sorry. Here's the pdf to see exactly what they missed, usually a C rating is bad but it depends what they got docked for. In this case it's terrible because not only are there bugs but also improper raw food storage and cross contamination.
