We were all excited to try this new takeout spot, but the experience was extremely disappointing…read more The fried chicken wings were cold when we received them. The skin was so hard it honestly felt like it could crack a tooth when chewing. On top of that, the wings were overly salty, and the spice level was very uneven. Some wings had almost no heat, while others were overwhelmingly spicy. Even within the same wing, some areas were mild and others were painfully spicy. When you bite into the wing, the skin separates completely from the meat, which shows how poorly they were prepared. I could not even finish the food and had to throw half of it away. I would not even give it to my dog because I know she would hate me for it. That says a lot. Overall, these were some of the worst fried chicken wings I have had in this area. It felt like a complete waste of money. I honestly do not think whoever is cooking in the back knows what they are doing. If they do not seriously improve their food quality, I do not see this place lasting very long. The only reason I am giving two stars instead of one is because I liked the design of their boxes and bags. Unfortunately, good packaging cannot make up for bad food. I am very disappointed and will not be coming back.

Honestly, i'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. Hands down the best fried…read morechicken i've had in a long time and the employees are great.

We popped into the drive thru line on a Sunday afternoon. It was quick, service was enjoyable, order was correct -- food was piping hot. We ordered 12-piece handcrafted chicken tenders with two large sides (mashed potatoes and fries) as well as six biscuits. A whopping $37.99 but dang, that IS a lot of food for a family of four! I love how flakey and light the chicken breading is, not at all greasy. A no frills fast food option, open 10AM-10PM on the daily.

While the people who work there are usually friendly once I actually can get one to talk to me, it always seems that, regardless of whether I go inside or through the drive-up, NO ONE IS THERE. I just ordered from drive-thru; there were four cars in the lot and one in front of me. Someone took my order over the intercom; when I left fifteen minutes later, the car in front of me was still waiting to pay for their food. I know there are at least two people working, because one guy was out back. I took it as a sign that I didn't need Popeye's today, and went to Wing Stop down the street. This feels like a failure of management; the people working are clearly doing their best, but they just don't have enough staff.

The space is cute and roomy enough to enjoy your food without feeling crammed--and trust me, you'll want to savor every bite. I had the fried chicken and catfish plate and thought the chicken was unbeatable. Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The catfish was solid too, but I'd come back for the chicken alone. The sides? Generous portions and all the comfort you could want--just don't argue over them (or do, I won't judge). Now let me put you on to the real star of the show: the peach lemonade. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best I've ever had. Sweet, refreshing, and dangerously addictive. The staff makes the experience even better--friendly, warm, and genuinely funny. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like family even if it's your first time. Go here. Support them. Bring friends. Leave full and happy.

The best thing about this restaurant is the delightful owner who cooks and came out to talk with us and explain the intense level of the hot sauce we ordered with our meal and to make sure we knew how to eat the food with fufu. My favorite foods were the Soup Royale with oxtail and the tripe soup. I also loved the Feuilles De Manioc (dish with cassava leaves), Egusi, and Sauce Graine (a dish with smoked turkey and fish...flavorful, but watch out for bones). The wait for food was pretty long so don't plan to be out in an hour, but I think they start making it after you order and it's noticeable that the food is made with love. I also ordered carryout when I didn't have as much time to sit and wait, and the food even tasted great at home. I hope they reopen somewhere, because I still have cravings for their fufu with the perfect texture dipped into a yummy, flavorful dish. Portions were huge and I would get multiple meals from an order.

You can't really beat their price for the shear volume of food you get, but you could definitely beat the quality of the meal. Don't get me wrong - everything is good enough to eat, but it didn't make me feel like I ever had to come back for more or recommend to family or friends. The sides were definitely the star of the show. Particularly, the baked beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread -- those were excellent! Overall, this isn't a spot I'd put on my list for top restaurants in the Iowa City area, but there are fair worse options (*cough* The Vine *cough*).

We got the chicken wings, baked Mac and cheese, candied yams, and corn bread.

The candied yams were very good and the corn bread and Mac and cheese were both pretty good as well. We will definitely be back on a Thursday to enjoy the fried tacos! The person working also came out and checked to make sure everything was good. There was a nice personal touch to the food and the whole experience. We also appreciated the location because it gave our son a fun little area to play in and stay occupied. He loved the puppet show and the whole space was just very inviting and clean.

Was a great deal for fast high quantity food. Today's visit went about as well as we could've hoped. We got to try all our old usuals and they were just as good as we remembered! The only real down side was the "shrink flation" of portions, but I'm not surprised given the all the changes that happened over the last 6 years. Oh yeah and one pandemic. Core memory... We got a lot of food to try and sample as much as we could (we usually do on a first visit to a place to see what we like and have more reasons to come back). The churro could've been warmer, but it was a good combination of crunchy and sweet which I was okay with. The burrito taco combo was great, though the spicy green sauce is what sealed the deal for me on it. Fries were 99 cents as a side, couldn't say no! Nice and hot when we got them! Yummy! Chips and queso was also good. Cheese was steaming hot! Quesadilla was massive! We added Pico but think we will ask for it on the side in the future. Breakfast burrito with bacon was as good as we remembered, but like mentioned before not as big. The Pina drink was pleasant. We will likely get it again. Tastes like pineapple! The automated ordering machine was nice in our case since we could look closely at all the options and take our time, but in the future I think I'll stick with talking to a person (which I think is an option for ordering? There is a drive through so for sure there is a way). Food came out promptly with minimal staggering. Our server was pleasant which is a plus these days. It was kinda empty and quiet inside which we don't mind, but if that kind of atmosphere is off putting to you, you have been warned. Though a train going by occasionally does break the silence quite dramatically. Also, the train. Don't forget about it if you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch! We certainly will come back again for some comfort food and reminder of "good-O'l times"
