So fortunate to have had the only Bojangles outside of the south for so many years. The biscuits are next level compared to what's served at other chains. First, they are full-sized, crisp-pockety exterior, flaky inside w/ a buttery finish. Maybe the only fast food item in history that you swear is homemade. Chicken has good amount of breading, spicer as you get closer to the bone, but not as spicy as it used to be as regular vs. spicy option got morphed into one. It's flavorful, moist, & brings some heat on certain unexpected bites. The sides: it has always been about the dirty rice- that's their signature. Golden colored rice w/ crumbled sausage, bell peppers, & cajun seasoning. The rest are mere subs for those who don't like rice, tho at times I appreciate the nearly potato wedges they call fries. Sweet tea is steeped in-store, not pre-bottled. I know people who roll up just to buy jugs of that. No longer have Bo in my backyard, which makes it all the more special when I do have opportunity to get it. Love the giant yellow box that announces, It's Bo Time! I show up at home with it, cheers happen!

Food is just a small…read morepercentage above local prices but it is only worth noting because the servings on some choices were not very generous. For example... Burrata Fritta is a generous sized and tasty fried cheese appetizer but, it only came with two small pieces of crustini so you'll end up eating most of it with a fork. Seared scallops tasted excellent as well but there was only 3 and they were the size of a 50 cent coin and about 3/8 of an inch thick. They were served over a generous bed of seasoned peas but, you are buying the scallops not the peas. Like I mentioned before, food tasted excellent there just could have been a little more thought out into appetizer creation. Entrees we selected were a just satisfying portion size and tasted excellent as well. We usually like to take home some of our main entrees for a later small meal but we ended up eating them both in restaurant. One thing important to note of importance to local diners is that entrees do not come with sides or salads. They must be ordered separately. Portions could have been maybe 8% to 10% bigger. I am not complaining but rather suggesting. I will definitely go back again to try some of the other entrees offered.

No customer service. I called the store and asked to speak to manager and an associate stated manager was busy. I said I'd wait. Someone in the background then said to hang up. AND... that associate did. I was hung up on. I called back and obviously another associate answered the phone and sweetly explained the system went down and allowed people to order bagels that were not able to be made. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT 5-7 business days for my refund and had to find somewhere that has that many bagels today. Corporate office did nothing as well. Not returning. I work in service industry.

Aside from COVID period when chicken breasts shrank (I went on full boycott) the consistency w/ which they deliver menu items is impressive. This remains my absolute favorite fast food choice. The Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken sandwich is even more mouth watering than last year w/ a creamy, spicy-sweet, pimento cheese sauce w/ cheddar shreds blanketing their classic, crispy-breaded, chicken. I didn't think the Peach Milkshake could be topped. Banana Pudding may have just unseated it- crunchy Nilla wafer cookie crumbles gives texture & a nod to the pies they made in the 80's.

Not particularly - short of a rather subdued Chicken Supreme sign, you may not know what lies inside the Penn Avenue storefront. When you walk through the door, you begin to think you may have walked into a time machine - it looks very much like it could have from the 1960s. There are a handful of counter seats - maybe 10 in all - at this cozy location. Ordering take out is your best option if you have more than two people in your group. However, if you are looking for the best fried chicken in a 50 mile radius - do stop in. It is a mildly seasoned flour dredge chicken, simple but done to perfection. Always crispy on the outside, and ridiculously juicy on the inside. However, chicken perfection does take 15-20 mintes, so calling ahead is a good idea. If you are not a fried chicken person (which I have difficulty comprehending) their fish and chips, cheesteaks, and hand cut fries are all fantastic. If you are in the area, it is worth the stop.
