    This is a well kept hometown secret. A hole in the wall that serves the one of best home cooked fried chicken. A friend who grew up in Charlottesville recommended that I stop in (he knows I love good tasty food... thanks Kevin). Make sure you stop in and taste this old school fried chicken offering that's served by the friendliest people.

    Wow. Need gas and a snack this is the place for you . Was in town and relatives told me about this. I was skeptical but the chicken was very tasty ! Crisp skin and juicy meat. And you get to pick what piece you want . If I had a craving for fried chicken I would definitely come here and get some. 9/21 Had to go back today and checkout the inside. The delicious smell of fried chicken is in the air as soon as your enter. We already had dinner plans or I would have scooped up one of the awesome chicken meal deals. Instead picked up some peach cobbler for dessert . Friendly folks. Love this place

    Brown's was the first stop in my September Chicken Crawl 2k20! Living in Cville for a significant amount of time, I've heard about Brown's fried chicken from friends and fellow foodies. As I never got around to actually trying their chicken, why not start the journey there! Located on Avon St, Brown's is situated a mere 5 min drive from Downtown Cville. While the physical location does not have outdoor seating, customers can enjoy their chicken in the neighboring Belmont Park (literally the next street over). I got a box of chicken (which came with a couple of rolls), breaded potato wedges, and mac'n'cheese.  Crunch - Decent, slight crunch. Not heavy on the breading (which I really appreciated).  Flavor - Really well seasoned, not too salty. From breading to actual meat, everything is well balanced. Not spicy.  Succulence - Nice and juicy~ Each piece was perfectly cooked! Heartburn - Pleasantly not oily at all. Everyone who came with me was able to eat multiple pieces without their stomachs feeling uncomfortable afterwards.  How good does it taste cold? - Chicken retains juiciness despite being cold. Hot take, thought it tasted even better cold.  Sides - Chicken paired well with all the sides. Potato wedges were DELICIOUS. Surprisingly, the potato wedges had more crunch than the chicken, but I'm not mad about it. Mac'n'cheese was nice and cheesy, noodles didn't stick to each other. Loved that it was flavored with pepper. The rolls were fluffy and soft. Definitely recommend dipping it in the mac'n'cheese.  Overall, I get the hype! Not realizing that gas station chicken was a thing, I didn't know what to expect, but Brown's was an amazing gastronomical experience!

    Nice courteous staff and awesome chicken. Love this place! If you buy 10 gallons of gas at their new stylish pumps you are rewarded with 1 free piece of chicken. Hot dern, insert fire emojis.

    Best fried Chicken around!

    The chicken, potato wedges, coleslaw, Mac salad, and potato salad (really, everything) are my personal faves.
