    1/4 chicken dark with fries and collards
    Margy C.

    Could have definitely been better. After driving past this location for years on my way to work, I had to stop. I brought a few family members for a Saturday lunch. When we first walked in, we thought we needed to wait to be seated. There were people working but we were basically ignored. Only one other family waiting for a take out order and one couple with a baby out at the tables. No one greeted us or told us what the procedure was. Not off to a good start. So we flagged someone working behind the counter and she finally told us that we have to order at the monitors on our own. Oh, great. That would have been helpful to know. Yes, there's an "order here" sign but we did not know whether that was for people doing take out. We placed our orders and waited by the front door. Again, no one told us we could just go sit down at the outside patio so we asked if we needed to wait for our food at the counter or will the food be brought to us. We sat down and enjoyed the outdoors while we waited for our food. It wasn't long. I can only comment on what I ordered. The fried chicken was touted as the best in Montgomery County. So I ordered the 1/4 chicken dark with fries and collards. The chicken was juicy on the inside but the skin was too hard. Fries were good and not soggy. A decent amount was given. Collards were okay but plain. There are other items that I would like to try now that I know how the process works. I would like this restaurant to stay because there have been other attempts and they have not stayed long. Areas for improvement: * Greet your customers when they enter. * Instruct them to use the monitors to order. * There was complimentary water but no one offered it. We thought we would have to buy a bottle while we were there. * There needs to be a chart of the spice level of the sauces. I am not conversant of all the bbq sauces out there and need help in this area. If helpful for anyone else, parking was plentiful. There is only outside seating. Not sure how the coming summer will deal with the heat. Service was extremely lacking. No one came to check on us but they also let us stay to chat for some time.

    Mac 'n Cheese could be less runny by putting in the oven. Good flavor.

    Appreciate having in the neighborhood. Chicken tenders are typically overcooked. Good flavor otherwise. Brussels sprouts are good, greens need something else not sure what but a bit bland for greens. Mac 'n Cheese is a bit runny, good flavor but could be thickened. Honey mustard is great! Shakes and custard are very good.

    Foreground: 1/4 fried chicken, fries and rolls. Background ribs.

    Best fried chicken and ribs I've had in this state, maybe anywhere. Chicken skin was nice and crispy and seasoned well. The meat was juicy. Got some mambo sauce to dip it in. The ribs also knocked it out of the park. Highly recommended getting some Carolina sauce with them if you like some kick. I will definitely be back.

    Is the chocolate snickers sundae in the room with us??

    So I reviewed this Fryer's right after it opened the first time, but it looks like they removed all those reviews (because they weren't that great) when they coupled with Money Muscle. I really wanted to love this place. It's not as good as it could be. I'll save another food review for next time, though we came in an hour before closing for a sundae. There's no seating inside, though there's a bench for people to wait for their food and it was packed. I used the screen to order and then waited around for it. While my order didn't take very long, seemed like a lot of other people were waiting for their food. One of the aggravating things was that the servers would bring food over and place it on the take out shelf without calling out a name/number, so then the people inside would walk over to see if it was theirs. Okay. So I got the snickers sundae and I selected chocolate ice cream. I didn't get chocolate ice cream. I watched the server making this (thinking it wasn't mine) and it was clear that she only read the instructions on what went in the sundae, so she didn't see that I had selected chocolate for my order. While I love soft serve, the sauces weren't anything special, straight out of a tube. There was a fair amount of snickers, I'll give them that. With the chaos of the store, it's not like I was dying to stay in there and have them remake a sundae. All in all, not enthusiastic to try this place again.

    Barbeque Sandwich around$12 added wedges and bottle lemonade $7 Total around $21.00

    Nice spot I use to drive over often during the summer for other menu items so I decided to go for lunch today. I decided in the new year I'll try to support local businesses more for lunch. Taste The sandwich and wedges were ok. I'll admit I'm deep south southern so maybe I'm bias when it comes to barbeque. I ate all my sandwich but I didn't finish my wedges Definitely try it for yourself. Ambiance Nice, I like the new enclosed eating area. Customer Service I was greeted when I came in however it's a self service situation you put your order in on tablets and someone gives it to you when it ready. Not really a lot of interaction which isn't good or bad, sadly just typical way of business in modern times. Cost I ordered a barbeque sandwich, wedges and drink. which came to $21, in my opinion that's very pricey for a lunch sandwich (that was ok in taste). Most unfortunate it's close enough that I could be a regular lunch customer however most menu items were similar in price $12-$15 for a sandwich alone then $7 for added fries/wedges and a bottle drink isn't doable, for me. I asked a coworker and she agreed it's the cost that has her not going more often. It's a nice spot, clean, good location just pricey however It's definitely worth giving a shot.

    The spicy dark fried chicken was really good, I'd give it 8/10. A lil too greasy but the flavor was strong in a good way. Not too spicy but good kick. Got a good tang to it. The skin is so crispy almost like they fried it twice. And the meat is juicy and holds the flavor from the seasoning well. The brisket was flavorful with good seasoning but not tender or juicy. The wedges also had good flavor but a lil too thick so not enough crisp. The service was quick, can order on a screen. Staff were friendly, working hard.

    Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. Young guy at the counter recommended the chicken sandwich. I took him up on his offer. We got the following, Fryers Fried Chicken Sandwich Cuban Panini Cornbread Collard Greens Fried Oreos The chicken sandwich was decent but could have used more flavor. The Cuban Panini was quite tasty. Collard greens were kinda bland. I could do without. The fried Oreos could be left there. Overall this isn't what I thought it would be. The outside seating area had heaters that weren't on and didn't work once turned on. This was a one and done for me.

    What's not to like about Fryer's Roadside?? The absolute BEST fried chicken, ribs and especially cornbread north of South Carolina! But you can get your sauces from Kansas City, or North Carolina too!!

    We stopped to satisfy a massive sugar craving. I went with a sundae, and all was good. They definitely hook you up with A LOT of toppings; I kind of wish there was more ice cream rather than the massive amount of toppings. Unfortunately, we arrived maybe about 20 minutes before closing so I think the staff was bit preoccupied with cleaning for closing. I'm not saying that we were rushed or that the staff was rude, but you could tell the staff was ready to finish cleaning and to get out of Dodge. Since we visited for a quick dessert, I hope to visit again to try some of the food. The folks that were eating outside looked VERY content with their food.

    Love this place. Got pulled pork and a PB milkshake. My friend got fried chicken and said it was epic. Feels like a downhome road side joint. Picnic tables outside and really good comfort food
