As a treat for changing my Winter Tires, I was in the area and I got the Popcorn Chicken + Drink combo.
Tbh, I haven't seen the size of their famous, large fried chicken, but it does seem a bit pricey upon just a glance at the menu. It is $12 for a piece of schnitzel essentially. Drinks were kinda on the pricey side at $5.50/soda mixed with some kinda fruit juice. I guess this is the going rate now!
So the Popcorn Chicken seemed to be the best value to try out Hot Star. Apparently, all food is fried-to-order, so there is a bit of a wait. Interior is brightly lit, clean, and new.
The Mojito was good, but very simple. Too bad this place doesn't have beer!
There was a dry spice on the Popcorn Chicken that I couldn't quite put my finger on, but I didn't love it. It was good, but I almost wished that I had gone for the boring regular.
It was a meal for me, but for anyone who is a big eater, it would be a snack. All the pieces were in a small paper bag.
I'd definitely check this place out again as their fried chicken is juicy! read more
