That would be more understandable during a rush, but the store wasn't busy -- only two other customers walked in during the roughly 22 minutes we were there. For a fast-casual hot chicken place, the turnaround should be faster. The food was hot and fresh, but the delay didn't match the traffic level. Portions: Portion sizes are generous and filling. The chicken pieces are large and meaty, and the meals feel like a good value for the price. This is not a skimpy serving -- come hungry or plan on leftovers if you order sides. Spice: I ordered the middle spice tier, and it's legitimately above-average heat. Not just a mild "medium," but a noticeable, building kick. If you're cautious with spice, consider going one level down. If you like some burn without going extreme, the middle tier hits well. Pro tips: - Call ahead and place your order at least 30 minutes in advance to avoid the wait. - There is tons of parking, which makes pickup easy even during busier times. Why not 5 stars? - They lost one star specifically because of the wait.

The fries were a lot better than McDonald's and just like the chicken, they give a massive amount of it for what you pay.

My boyfriend who can usually finish everything was not able to finish his sandwiches and the fries. We both had leftovers which was nice.

There was one other patron eating in. I placed a take-away order of half coward, I.e., 6 wings. I ordered them naked. Don't judge! I don't fry foods at home. They had different genres of music playing. Careless Whisper was playing during my visit. I love that song! They cook to order so that's always a good sign. The chicken came out a little over done and the skin wasn't crispy. I doused it with Old Bay and Bleu Cheese dipping sauce. Not worth a return visit.

And he says we have to eat here for best experience! He is right. Ordering is easy on the kiosk or an employee can help take your order up front. A large menu board shows you the options. We got two 3 tender meal combo (fries & drink) and a slaw. It took about 10 minutes to get our food but it's made to order. They kitchen/cooking/prep area is open so you can see them make it! Breading and frying the chicken & fries. Hot and fresh. They also check the temp of tenders for doneness. They dip the chicken, then they dust it. Comes with their Crimson sauce as well as ranch. The chicken was hot & juicy. The hot was spicy. Fries were hot and crispy. Ranch was good. Sauce was good. Only negatives were the pickles could have been thicker cut and fresher as well as the slaw. Slaw was vinegar based and wilted. Crunch & crispiness wasn't present. Food was on par with Daves and Canes. Maybe better in quality and price. I wished slaw came with meal. They played country music over the speakers so that's a big plus for me. Is it as good as Dave's or Cane's? My son says yes. I say maybe?

Great skin and crunch and very juicy chicken. But it was the sides that were even better. Had Mac and Cheese and Slaw. Slaw was perfect and the portion big enough that I took the mac home as I couldn't even start it while dining there. Gobbled the mac as a midnight snack later and, even having to nuke it warm again, the mac and cheese was flavorful with cheesy goodness.

We tried sliders in mild, medium, extra hot, and Reaper levels, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful-the chicken was juicy, the fries crispy, and the Oreo shake creamy and delicious. The mild, medium, and extra hot hit the perfect balance of spice for most of us, building just enough heat without overwhelming. The Reaper slider, however, was intensely spicy-none of us, including my husband and kids, could handle it, living up to its Carolina Reaper reputation. Despite that one extreme option, the overall quality and variety made it a hit, and we'll return for the milder choices and sides. Super recommend for spice adventurers (just skip the Reaper unless you're prepared)!
