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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Really, it's the Best fried chicken! For years, Chick n Friends has been our go-to for tender juicy lightly-coated fried catfish. Well, i have been missing out! A friend was in town, hungry for fried chicken, and I remembered that this place pressure-fries their chicken. We gave it a try, and oh my it is good! The large pieces of chicken stays juicy, sealed in a not-too-thick well-seasoned coating, and it was still piping-hot and crispy when we got it home from their takeout. They do this better than the big-name fast-food places! We also had a generous serving of crisp hot potato wedges, some fresh-tasting creamy cole slaw, and their always delicious savory collards. I think the thighs were around $3 each, and they were big and flavorful and well-worth it! Simply the best I've had! read more
Chick N' Friends is a solid fried chicken and seafood restaurant. I understand why they are rated one of the best fried chicken restaurants in America. The chicken is pressure fried; a cooking method by which chicken is fried in hot oil while sealed in a pressure fryer, creating a pressurized environment that leads to a crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The chicken is virtually fried to perfection here. My chicken was also seasoned well. And not only is the chicken is fried well, but also the seafood. The ownership touts use of the highest quality ingredients for their chicken and fish which is believable. It seems all of the food is fried to-order, however, the wait can be discouraging especially on busy days. The customer service is good. Overall a good experience and I will visit again. read more

This is a really good dine out spot, especially if you are on the go or don't feel like leaving your house. The meats are fried to perfection! The sides could use some work. My mac and cheese was cold and not very flavorful. My fries were very flavorful but dry. A few touches of improvement would make this place amazing!!! Give them a try! read more

There is no AC in this establishment. There is a large fan at the entry blowing and circulating very hot air. Due to the extreme temperatures, dining inside is not an option. Arrived in the later afternoon, establishment had a few young people, running from the car parked in the front back to the kitchen. Not sanitary. No hand washing. Lots of employees just idling around, laughing, joking with each other. Definitely not customer focused. The atmosphere is very unprofessional and that alone left a bad taste in my mouth. For the 30 minute wait, the food was MEH. Just MEH. Won't be back! read more
It's a NO for me. I visited this establishment on Friday, 2/11/22. I phoned my order in at 6:00pm. The young lady stated the food would be ready in 25 mins. You would think it was ready at 6:25 p.m.?!? Nope! How about when I arrived I had to WAIT an additional 30 mins. The point of pre-ordering was I had my dog with me, so he has to wait in the car for 30 mins. Let's talk about the food itself....uhhh...ahhh. NOT IT! They have been around for awhile. I think they need to re-group and figure some things out down to the customer service. The food was just okay, not worth the wait. Maybe I went on the wrong day, but you should always put your best foot forward. Let's talk about the Mac and cheese. Please compare my photo to the other reviewers photos. THEY SERVED ME STOUFFERS MAC AND CHEESE. Now if you ran out just say that and let me decide, but really?! The suppose-it-be collard greens were just okay. The chicken had a nice crunch, but again, just okay. Will I be back? Absolutely NOT! They need to re-huddle and fix a few things, customer service being one. **The fact it took my order an entire hour to prepare NOBODY apologized for the wait. There was a poor couple who waited longer and they were there before me. They had extreme patience.** read more

If you want made to order chicken, that's not sitting under a lamp waiting for you...Then go to Chick n friends! The owner is eager to please and values her customers. I strongly recommend you stop by and give them a try. The chicken is so flavorful and served up HOT in temperature, just what I like. I had my chicken with greens and Mac n cheese! Winning combination. I also ordered a large chicken box(pic shown) And let's not forget the fries!!! OHHH MMMM GEEEE! The cut of the fries give you an opportunity to taste the potato itself(try it and you'll see what I mean). I also washed it down with the half and half(shown below) PERFECT! Just the right mixture. read more

For starters, the place was completely empty, so I was a little hesitant about ordering anything. It was the first time that I had even heard of the place, so I had no idea what to expect. The pictures online looked appealing, so I drove 20 minutes from home to give them a try. FIRST RED FLAG: (TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE) I approached the counter and had to speak in order to get spoken to because Layasia (the cashier) was not trained to greet customers. SECOND RED FLAG: (NASTY ATTITUDE WITH SARCASTIC RESPONSES) I've never been to the restaurant so I had to ask questions, because the menu that was taped to the counter didn't reflect the pictures that I saw online. Sadly, getting any helpful dialog from Layasia was like pulling teeth, because she acted as if I was bothering her, which prompted me to ask "Are you OK, because you have a really funny attitude?" I typically let stuff go, but she was pissing me off. The food took about 20-25 minutes, which is typical for food that is supposed to be cooked to order. I ordered the 1/2lb of shrimp with fries and coleslaw, the 3 piece whiting with yams and greens, 4 piece fried chicken with fries and greens, a small side of macaroni and cheese and a slice of chocolate cake. I know that it sounds like a lot, but it wasn't just for me, although I did order an extra entrée just to try it. LAST RED FLAG: (THE PACKAGING OF MY TAKE OUT ORDER). Why in the heck was my food placed unwrapped in a brown paper bag that couldn't even survive a 20-minute car ride back home? You mean to tell me that this place can't even put food in a proper carry out container. A piece of foil would've been better than that doggone bag. And, why would someone think that it was smart to place the chocolate cake slice on top of a hot container of macaroni and cheese. All-in-all, the food was okay. I have had much better and will not be going again, unless I bring my own gallon size ziploc bag or actual carry out containers. I spent about $65 and didn't even get one napkin or utensil. Perhaps I was supposed to use the wet bag to wipe my hands... read more

1st time here as we were in the area. I got 4 catfish tender/fries and 4 wings/fries =$29. Wing size is great. Catfish tenders were salty & thin. Customer service is meh. It was like pulling teeth to get cashier to notice or even speak to you. Fyi...you must ask for utensils, napkins and condiments. Won't be back. read more

If I could I'd give y'all 10 stars. Was a lil apprehensive at first because the lil girl at the front was so meek and mild, I was finna walk out. However the aroma snatched me! Menu on the counter doesn't indicate anything about catfish, yet my Mom ears hustlin heard another pickup order of such. HHHHHHHHUUUUNNNNEY LLLLLLLIIISSTTTENAH y'all didn't disappoint! Please don't stop whatcha doin! This here sandwich & fries SLAPS! YYYYYAAAS MAAM IT HIT THE SPOT! I'm at work humming along with my night. Ain't had a GGGGOOOD FIS'SAMICH since the last time I've been home in Philly. You have a faithful loyal customer eery Friday for a fish sandwich meal. Now understand THIS. If you are in a HURRY this isn't your stop. Everything is FRESHLY made to order. DON'T GO IN WITH AN ATTITUDE & huffing complaining rolling your eyes & what not! I placed my order went to several other places in errands and came back to piping hot combos awaiting my pickup. read more

If I could have given this place a ZERO stars, I would have. The manager, who is a middle aged African-American (very hood and disrespectful) female, was very rude from the moment I called. She placed me on an 8 minute hold. I hung up multiple times to try recalling but kept receiving the voicemail. So upon arrival of the store, I was meet by this woman, I informed her that I was waiting for almost 10 minutes on the phone she rolled her eyes and said you can place your order online too. After thank thanking her for that information, I placed my order, I asked a question of how large were the tenders to know if I should order 4 or 6 piece, she filled her eyes and said "I mean, they tenders" I laughed and said 4 piece please. My order. Was almost $13 after taxes. While waiting for my food I read behind her and there was a sign that said 3 piece tender, fries, and cornbread for $6.99. I asked her could I change to that special she said no! Your food has started being cooked already and no refunds! So I asked for the manager she said she IS the manager. I said what a shame, she said "it can be a shame all day everyday and what" so, I just took a step back because I refuse to have her spit in my child's food and me to step all the way down to her low class level. The food USED to be really good when the older lady and man (owners) ran it but the food is no longer that way and the customer service IS always TERRIBLE. Same black lady working most of the time. I will NOT be returning. It's people like her who makes it hard to support some black owned bus. read more
5 stars for the chicken, chocolate cake, tea, and customer service!! OMG the wings are off the chain. Perfectly seasoned and not just salty wings. The yellow cake with chocolate frosting?! Sooooooooooooooooo good! I'm ordering my next cake from them lol The lady at the register was very polite and professional. It's definitely worth the drive to Columbia from DC to get these wings. Whoaaaaa! I'm a FAN!!! read more
