    Ordered 5 wings, got 4.5 already ate one.
    Alan W.

    Ordered 5 wings got 4.5, already ate one. Wings way too salty. $22 for 5 little ass wings. The only saving grace was the fried fish was delicious. Skip the chicken and get the fish. May return for the fish only,service is extremely slow, best to call in your order. The fish is worthy of 4 stars, the chicken gets 0 stars so had to balance it out with 2 stars.

    Really good chicken, Good coleslaw, good greens and phenomenal catfish. Great service Nice people, clean and easy. Takes a few minutes to get your food because they cook it fresh for you and it is worth it. The only reason I won't be back is because I don't live near here, I'm a little jealous of folks that do!

    4 piece chicken special $10.59

    Dc boy loved this Columbia chicken! I wanted to give them 5 stars so bad, but I couldn't and I'll tell you why. So, when you walk in, it looks like it's a an old carry out & smells a little weird. It comes off a little as a hole in the wall spot, but as I've learned they are gems! They have a kiosk you can order from or with cashier. Everybody was welcoming and one person help me place my order. It took about 20/25 min. The chicken was warm but didn't seem hot like it was just coming out of the dryer, but the fries were. Fries are homemade- style, so good and good size and they were hot out of the oil! Chicken is so flavorful and crispy. But wasn't hot as the fries were. For this price it's no way this places isn't packed out. I got a 4 piece special which comes with one side and biscuit. Biscuit was decent, but I don't eat it. With a little TLC (handing that smell, better lighting, and better menu placement), this place is easily a 5. Also, making sure chicken is piping hot. All men working and they were good with the service which I didn't expect initially. I wish this spot was closer, will be back next time if I'm in the area, or anytime I feel like making the drive from DC.

    Behold the homemade cakes!

    I was starving and in dire need of fried chicken when this establishment came across my radar. Was the food good? Yes, it was. The fried chicken tasty, the sweet tea mildly lemony, and the fries the closest thing to chunky English chips I've come across, neither under nor over-seasoned. What I hadn't realized was that there was a pillowy biscuit in the box with my chicken. And it was the finest biscuit I've ever received from a fried chicken joint. See, I thought it was a run of the mill dinner roll at first, it was that tall. But then it was also heavy but fluffy. I inhaled that thing as I drove down 95. Was the service slow? Maybe a touch, but the food was handed to me piping hot and overflowing their respective containers. And folks, these people were the nicest people! I nearly ordered a full priced dinner before the clerk informed me there was a special that cost much less. She asked if I was particular about which pieces I wanted, and I told her to throw in whatever pieces they needed to unload. They could have just given me 2 wings and I'd have been happy - that's how dire my fried chicken need was -but they have me the GOOD chicken! And then, they brought out the cakes. The proprietor brought out a fully frosted chocolate cake as well as a lemon cake, and answered all my curious questions about them: did you make these (yes), what kind, how often, etc. I bought 2 slices that again overflowed their containers, and then promptly forgot them when I left. I was in my car checking out my goods when one of the employees was knocking at my door to reunite us. I love small locally owned places, and I'm so happy I stopped here for lunch.

    Restaurant week :)
    MaryLou B.

    I have missed this venue since I moved to Texas, so I am so excited to be back! And I did not even remember that it was Restaurant Week! Shoutout to our local community heroes here in Columbia! Hunter was the front man and greeted me with a warm, personable, and friendly welcome. This is a clean and well lit venue. I love the menu! Comfort food to the max! Pressure Fried Chicken, collard greens, Mac and cheese, dinner rolls, corn bread, french fries, teas, lemonades, and more ! They even have chicken sandwiches! Regular and spicy! So you know that I had to order a spicy chicken sandwich for home and I dined in with the 2 piece special combo! Chicken on the bone is always the best for me! Flavor and texture is my main focus! And this venue is on point!!! Crunch-tastic !!! Cheese pull! This was delicious! Yummm ! Hit the spot!!

    We had take out with friends, the menu consisted of fried chicken, fried fish, fried shrimp, greens, candied yams, and French fries. The chicken was the star of the show. Well seasoned, crispy, and filling. I am not a big yam fan, but these yams had an okay flavor. What threw things off was that the syrup had a thickness of apple pie out of the can. The greens also had an interesting taste. Not bad just interesting. The French fries were cold by the time I got to them so I can t rate those, but they seemed to be real potatoes cut into fries with some sort of breading. The shrimp was a no go for me, they looked really good, but I too am not a fried shrimp person. The fish was bland to me and I needed some hot sauce. All in all the food was decent and worth another visit to try some other menu items. If nothing else enough to pick up some chicken.

    Sweet Chili 4/20 Party Wings
    Stephen J.

    Tucked away in Owen Brown shopping center, directly across from the entrance of Lake Elkhorn Park, is a soul food paradise. I have to commend Big Schlim, for sharing about the National Cannibas Festival special at this restaurant. I was greeted with love by the cashier and a smile. I saw how dark the sweet tea was in the beverage dispenser and let me tell you I know the tea has to be good! I ordered the 420 Sweet Chili Party Wing Special (w/fries) and the 4 Piece Chicken lunch special. You can get a 2 piece or 4 piece lunch. Both come with a side and biscuit. The wing special with the fries and the 4 piece were delicious. The Collard greens though full of flavor were too sweet for me. Customer service and the parking was amazing. Between the made to order quality food and the 2019 food prices this place is a winner. Treat yourself!

    Please note: This restaurant is under new management. I finally had a chance to try this restaurant. One thing I can say is the owner is an absolute pleasure. Her service is unmatched. Her son was pleasant as well. However the food needs some work and she's willing to make changes and appreciate all feedback. The fried chicken was pretty good, seasoned well nice batter. My daughter loved her wings. -The shrimp basket was lacking seasoning on the batter. I dislike the oil aftertaste. The dipping sauce was good -The chicken biscuit the tenders were cut too thick. Due to the thickness, the chicken was a bit undercooked. The biscuit itself was very good. -collard greens were ok but lacking flavor I will definitely visit again especially because the restaurant is under new management and I'm sure overtime things will get better.

    Hot N' Spicy Chick N' Sandwich Combo

    I have eaten at this place several times while visiting my nearby office. Food is 5 stars. I have gotten he spicy fried chicken sandwich each time. The sandwich is a freshly breaded fried chicken breast on a brioche roll dipped in a spicy but sweet sauce and served with a spicy mayo sauce. It is awesome. The fries are breaded fries which are not my thing however they do a great job with them making them crispy but soft and tender inside. They do lose a star for speed as they take a long time to get the food. It won't prevent me from visiting again but just planning for the time. Dining area is ok but nothing special. The chicken is the special. Staff is very friendly.

    My guilty pleasure

    I decided earlier in the day, I would order food for lunch and remembered Chick N Friends. I knew from advice to order early because food sometimes took a minute. To me that just means you make it fresh and I appreciate that. So I ordered my food about 30 minutes before my lunch break and when I arrived to pick it up the gentleman was packing it up. Perfect timing. When I open the container the smell of fresh fried Chicken and waffles drifted up my nose and I was so giddy. First bite of chicken was so satisfying. As I continue to eat I noticed it wasn't fried hard and a little messy but still okay. I tried a piece of waffle and the crispy and softness was the perfect combination for indulgence. As I continued to eat, I noticed I had a processed after taste in my mouth. I dipped a piece of waffle in the syrup they provided and it helped somewhat. However, by the time I was halfway finished that processed taste was just taking over everything. The next time, I definitely think I will ask them to fry my chicken hard and I'm not too sure what to do about the waffle. The first bite I could taste the buttermilk and was pleased but I couldn't finish eating it due to the process taste. I tried to determine if it was coming from the chicken or the waffle and it seemed like it was coming from the coating of the chicken. I guess whatever they use to coat the chicken with is packaged and probably has some preservatives in it. That is definitely a way to make sure the chicken always taste the same but now fresh chicken, taste processed.

    Classic Pressure Fried Chicken Dinner - 3pc, with Collard Greens and Potato Salad
    John W.

    Chick N' Friends was added to our Foodsby delivery options a couple of weeks ago & promptly sold out. I made sure to order last week for this week, so I wouldn't miss out again :) I ordered the 3-piece chicken dinner, which comes with a selection of two sides. At $12.99, it's a no-brainer to spend the extra $1.00 over the 2-piece dinner. You can select each piece separately, so I ordered three thighs, because they're the most flavorful part of the chicken. I picked collard greens and potato salad for my sides. The chicken was very good - crispy crust & skin, juicy chicken, and also a decent size. The flavor reminded me of authentic southern fried chicken. I was a bit disappointed with the collard greens though. They were in plenty of liquor, but didn't have much in the way of additional flavor; they tasted like under salted greens and not much else. I didn't find any meat in it either. Potato salad was pretty good, but didn't stand out over any other potato salads I've had. Overall, the chicken is the star of this meal, and I highly recommend it. Try some other sides too, which are hopefully more flavorful.

    We went here recently & were very happy with the experience…read more The biggest plus for us is they have excellent fried chicken. It's crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. An order includes 2 pieces, each of them a breast & sort of a small leg attached (yes, that sounds weird but it's the best description I can come up with). An order comes with mashed potatoes & gravy on the side + collard greens. We each took one piece of chicken home for a second meal.

While our server was great and very attentive, unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired. For the evening we tried the Devil Shrimp which is crab stuffed shrimp that came with spinach and mac & cheese. While the stuffed shrimp were delicious the mac and cheese not so much. I hate to say this but it was a step up from box Kraft mac & cheese. The Grilled lamb chops were served with roasted fingerling potatoes and sauteed green beans. While the lamb chops were plentiful and we appreciated that, again the sides that accompanied the dish lacked flavor. To be an upscale Southern cuisine restaurant they missed the mark on some of the staples sides and that was a little disheartening.

My grilled chicken was moist, flavorful, and cooked very well. The fried catfish was not too salty and had great balance where you can taste the fish. The mac and cheese, cabbage, and green beans were all of nice quality, the weakest link is the potato salad, however that is a dish that can be complicated for different restaurants to get the hang of, fortunately I can prepare some awesome potato salad myself. The peach half and half drinks were balanced perfectly well not too sugary and sweet. I swear some of these places make drinks way too sweet and you want to check your insulin levels. The server was highly attentive and a great conversationalist and paid attention to our wants and needs and had superb professionalism and a strong work ethic. He was hospitable and accommodating. The staff was friendly and approachable. We had fun and enjoyed this more than Milk and Honey and even Carolina Kitchen. DC keeps gentrifying and losing its soul, but there are still some hidden gems around. This spot blends in with the Walmart, and funnily enough I have driven past here a gazillion of times and assumed it was some bakery or another spot and did not know it was a soul food joint, something DC has been minimizing and pushing out to Maryland like the city always does. I think it is masterful that they use clear plastic containers for their food making it easier for the staff as that can be expensive and time consuming with the dish washing/prep, sound economical move. It is nice that the business (U Street etc. location) has been in the DMV for over 20 years and expanded to Baltimore in Fells Point. I think Baltimore will like this spot! This felt authentic and soulful in a way that I had not experienced in the city in quite some time, as the city has had a lot of restaurants be sterile, bland, flavorless, and catered to certain demographics while completely ignoring others. I liked the soundtrack with R&B and was able to hear some TLC on the soundtrack which was very nostalgic and a throwback to DC before the gentrification when it was truly Chocolate City! Overall, it is a spot that you can visit more than once certainly not a one and done like a lot of restaurants that lack service, food, and ambiance/vibe.

At that time, I was upset about what happened with George Floyd a week earlier; still in 2026, it was wrong what happened to Floyd (not to mention more recent news that happened in that city was horrible too). I hung out with a friend on that warm day having a beer outside his apartment in Takoma Park. He is a mega-leftist politically (I'm more independent), but said he wanted to support a black-owned business; I said that's a good idea; I might do that for dinner. He was doing his own thing for dinner, so I was on my own. So, I looked up on Yelp what was in the area, and I saw just across the border in DC, Oohh's & Aahh's. Staff was nice, and I got a fried chicken platter. As this was Covid times, there was no dine-in. So, I schlepped all the way straight up Georgia Ave 6 miles back to my home in Wheaton fairly quickly on that Sunday as I don't like my food getting cold. I think my food stayed pretty hot as it was well-wrapped, and if it had cooled off, I could always microwave at home. The fried chicken, mac n' cheese (my favorite vegetable...I know not really a veggie but a joke), etc. were all solid. If I was ever over here, I'd consider coming back; just so rare I go to DC these days.

The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).
