Just a plate of amazing tenders, coleslaw, & sauce!
Audrey W.

I FINALLY can say that I've had the original chicken tenders! My husband is a HUGE fan of Guthrie's from his years at UGA. He was excited to move back to GA and find this one down the street from us. Order through the website/Yelp and got my food in a great timing, still piping hot when we got home. The tenders were cooked well, with just enough yummy crispy edges. I would liked them a little more seasoned but appreciated very much that they aren't super salty. Loved the coleslaw too! We'll be back for more. I only went through the drive thru, so I can't speak on ambiance, but this one looked like a walk-up only diner. It would be nice to be able to sit and enjoy these fresh out of the fryer!

This is a plate full of nostalgia for me .... YUM! If you're watching your waistline, this isn't the place for you. The menu is no frills - chicken fingers, fries, slaw, and Texas toast. It's also drive-thru or walk up and take out only. Now that the weather is nice, it would be awesome if they had some outdoor tables so that you could walk up and enjoy a meal with some fresh air. I read the other reviews that were a little lackluster and don't really agree. The chicken fingers were piping hot and well seasoned. The fries were super fresh (I watch them pull them out of the oil and serve them straight away). And the service was faster than the Chick-fil-a drive thru down the street. No complaints at all. I needed a college throwback moment and it was received.

4 piece pack- comes with toast, fries and fingers at just under $10.  Also, no beverage at that price.

I so wanted them to taste like I remember them tasting while an undergrad in Athens stopping into the place on Baxter. But no... a bland chicken finger somewhat warm with crinkle cut fries that were brown and slightly burnt and had no flavor. The three stars reflect my quick, pleasant drive thru experience and the wonderful employee working the window. First and last visit.

I my cousin told about them. I've eaten at the one in Cartersville and in Holly Springs. Both are really good. I'll eat there again.

I recommend walk up and eat in your car as these are best enjoyed fresh from the fryer.

Since I am riding solo this Valentine's Day I decided to treat myself out for dinner…read more I sat at the bar area near the register. Carol was my server. She was awesome! Attentive, but not bothersome. I ordered the special ~ four succulent shrimp on top of salmon on top of mashed potatoes, blanketed with a rich, creamy and tasty sauce, accompanied by steamed asparagus. It was a pretty plate. It was a delicious meal! In fact, I forgot to take a photo. However, I was mostly done when felt a slim bone at the back of my throat and, while discreetly trying to get rid of it, Christian, the manager must have noticed something strange about me because, although he and the staff were hustling around, busy working, he inquired about my well being. I explained the situation as best I could while fishing for the bone with my tongue. The bone is now lodged near the back of my throat. After a few minutes I managed to remove it. I stopped eating the salmon in favor of the dessert that was included with the meal ~ lava cake!!! Before leaving, I ordered their delicious broccoli cauliflower casserole and some rotisserie chicken for later. When I saw the bill my mouth was agape. I asked, "What happened?" The manager, Christian, took it upon himself to remove the meal from my bill. That's the way you treat a customer! I didn't ask for that and I didn't expect that to happen, however, I was pleasantly surprised! I'm definitely going to revisit this establishment again!!

So this was probably the closest hot chicken spot, and I was having a hankering for it. It's inside…read moreof a really nice brewery, and there's plenty of seating all the way around, so it fit the bill. You'll come inside, mutation and order on the right-hand side where you see the neon sign, but when you go to the brewery itself, just know that there is free parking and there is plenty of parking at the facility. You'll use the kiosk, and then you'll get a text message when your food is ready, and you can walk around freely until that happens. There's only one person there, and they're actually behind there stacking the food up to be picked up, so don't expect somebody to keep bringing food to you. Hot chicken sandwich - the sandwich was good, but typically the sandwiches are already pretty decent anyway. I got mine hot, but it wasn't like it was overly hot whatsoever. It had a nice little kick to it, but I could have gone further, but it was still a good sandwich. Brussel sprouts - the Brussels sprouts were okay, but I probably would not get them again. They didn't taste like they were seasoned at all, or very well. I mean, maybe a pinch of salt, but barely that. In the cup, you only got like six half pieces of Brussels sprouts. For paying almost $5 to get three full Brussels sprouts, that wasn't really worth it to me. Tater tots - the tater tots were really good, and they got quite a bit of them. They didn't come with anything, so you can get what you wanted as far as a condiment goes, but they were super hot and super crispy. Chicken tenders - so these are basically like chicken bites or chicken nuggets, I guess, and you can get them tossed in whatever sauce you want. I got mine with the hot lemon pepper variation. It was really good, but at the same time I probably should have picked one instead of the mix of it. With the hot lemon pepper situation, it was basically like lemon pepper and buffalo, but all you really tasted was buffalo, because the buffalo is so powerful you really don't taste anything else. Overall, I have no issue with this spot. It's really a good vibe if you're trying to watch a game or something along those lines, and this is the closest chicken spot to me like this, so I probably will continue to go.

The tater tots were amazing but the chicken was a bit underwhelming. I got the chill but it had…read morezero spice and I could probably do a bit higher spice level. But the taste was okay. It's a good choice if you're at mutation brewing and want some food but I personally would not go out of my way for this.

We had such an amazing experience at Nando's Peri-Peri that we ended up coming back twice in the…read moresame day--and that should tell you everything you need to know! This was our first day trying it, and after lunch, we knew we had to return. The food is incredibly flavorful, truly unlike anything we've had before. For lunch, we shared the Rainbow Bowl, and for dinner we came back for wings (half BBQ, half mango lime marinade--SO good), a chicken Caesar salad wrap, Brussels sprouts, and their chips (fries). Everything was delicious, fresh, and generously portioned. The drinks were also a highlight--both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic options were refreshing and well-crafted. But what really made the experience special was the service. Kiran was such a sweetheart--kind, attentive, and just a joy to interact with. And another team member (possibly a manager) went above and beyond when they were out of shredded chicken. He had the kitchen substitute thigh meat for the Caesar wrap, and it turned out amazing. That level of care really stood out. All in all, this is a 10/10 experience (even if it's technically 5 stars!). We loved everything about it and are already planning our next visit--plus grabbing extra to-go for tomorrow. Bravo, Nando's! We'll definitely be back P.S. The app sux. It kept freezing. We want to talk to the people. Bring full service back. Said with love.

I've been blessed to hit Nando's spots globally, including that pilgrimage to the original in JoBurg, so when I say Nando's is doing something right, trust me. This is a fairly new franchise, and for the most part, they are absolutely hitting the target. I pulled up on a chill Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is a solid medium to large size, offering ample indoor and outdoor seating--a nice, modern spot for a quick, quality bite. The core of their business, the chicken, is always exceptional. It's fresh, flavored perfectly, and cooked with that moist interior you expect. More importantly, the sauce lineup is masterful--they truly are the MVPs here, carrying that legendary heat and zest. I know, I know--I went a little wild. I threw down for the 6 Wings & Chips and a side of Brussels sprouts, which were both solid and exactly what I needed. Then, I added the All the Trimmings Bowl (chicken thighs, mash, stuffing, creamy corn, chili jam, and gravy). Here's the only real critique: the bowl was simply fine. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that "wow" factor; it didn't shine the way the chicken and sauces usually do. It felt like an unnecessary addition to an otherwise flawless Peri Peri experience. I definitely had to take some home--big back status averted, technically. Ultimately, Nando's delivers that satisfying, high-quality flavor I've come to expect from this type of spot. It respects the legacy of the cuisine, and that's why I keep coming back. It's almost always fantastic, and a definite win for fans of South African chicken.
