Tastes watered down. REGARDLESS, ALL THE STARS IN THE WORLD for their drinks. The peach shaken ice tea and raspberry rose teas have every complex note they describe. I'm jaded by all the fruity drinks/tea blends out there that are just too sweet and artificial. Nan's makes it perfectly. The white peach actually shines through, which is rare in my experience. The raspberry is REAL. Speaking as someone who enjoys artificial raspberry flavors of jam donuts and bottled ice tea...idk if Nan's makes it for real, but, if so, you can taste it! You still taste the tea, the fruits, the florals, it's not watered down, and best of all--not overtly sweet. Their fruit drinks have the perfect balance. It's genuinely refreshing and delicious. I find myself craving their teas all the time!!

**We found our new favorite spot!**…read more My partner and I stumbled upon Nan's Kitchen and what a delightful discovery it was! As first-timers, we were treated with such warmth and patience by the staff - no pressure, no rush, just genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. We started by sharing the hatch chili farro bowl with roasted cauliflower and hominy, fragrant ginger carrots, and lemon mustard salmon. The tomato harissa sauce and zhoug were absolutely incredible - seriously, these sauces are to die for! Everything was perfectly seasoned and the flavors were so well-balanced. Pictures are not perfect, but the lighting was so warm and comfortable, you will have to excuse them! Halfway through our meal, I spotted they had coconut carrot soup with chickpeas and ginger on the menu and literally ran back to order a cup. We ended up sharing that too, and it was such a smart move - the soup was aromatic and comforting with just the right amount of spice from the ginger. To drink, we had fresh lemonade and iced tea (both perfectly refreshing), and couldn't resist finishing with their banana pudding, which was the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. What really stood out beyond the exceptional food was how accommodating and friendly the service was. They made splitting dishes feel completely natural and were so welcoming when I dashed back for that soup! The attention to flavor and seasoning here is remarkable - every single component of our meal was thoughtfully prepared. We're already planning our next visit. Nan's Kitchen has absolutely earned a permanent spot on our regular rotation! Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared food with service that makes you feel like family.

I went to Yas Chicken about a year ago and it was AMAZING. The chicken sandwich? Juicy. The fries?…read morePerfect. The drink? Refreshing. We left impressed. Fast forward to this time... what happened?? Last year the chicken sandwich had a thick, juicy chicken breast/patty. This time? They literally threw a chicken tender on my sandwich. And I know it was a tender because my friend ordered chicken tenders, and they looked exactly the same... except hers were BIGGER than the one on my sandwich. Be serious. The lettuce was one sad, soggy, pale little piece fighting for its life. Not crisp. Not fresh. Just... present. Like it clocked in but didn't want to be there. The Yas sauce wasn't nonexistent, but they were definitely stingy with it. I had to add ranch because it just wasn't hitting. The fries weren't even crunchy. Just cold and hard like they had beef with me personally. Not crispy. Not warm. Just... stale with attitude. The mac and cheese tasted like it came straight out of a Kraft box. No personality. No flavor. Not even vibes. The drink was also mid. It didn't save the meal. And before anyone says "maybe they were closing", we ordered at 6PM. They close at 9. Oh, and the grand finale? Food poisoning. Both of us throwing up within an hour of eating. The chicken was dry, and apparently also dangerous. Now that's talent. What happened?? The quality drop needs to be studied. Definitely not coming back.

Chicken nuggets here are awful.

The Korean style boneless wings are excellent. I took a bite and instantly got a satisfying crunch and the taste of spicy yet sweet sauce and juicy fresh chicken. I've had better buffalo chicken wings. But, I will comment on how gigantic the bone in wings are which would be even better if the sauce was more flavorful. The biggest reason I took stars off this establishment was for the crappy service. The cashier and service workers aren't friendly unless you are a regular. I've been treated way better at Popeyes...and the fried chicken and prices are much better at Popeyes, let me tell you! If Yas Chicken's employees treated all their customers the same and respectfully then the ratings and profits would increase here, I'm sure.

First, the restaurant is a small fast food style with 5-6 tables, and the place is clean and well kept up. The menu is extensive and pictures and menus line 2 walls. The chicken is seasoned well and juicy and crispy. The fries are done just right, for me anyway, not crispy and dry but just crispy and tender enough. The food is not greasy at all, well mine wasn't. I called in the order, and it was on time and accurate, and in fact, the guy counted off my order as he packed it to go. The chicken is decidedly better than KFC, juicier and meatier, though the seasoning is not the same as the old KFC. Mashed potatoes/gravy and rolls are fresh.

I waddled into this chicken pie restaurant with the confidence of a man who had absolutely no…read moreintention of leaving hungry, and the second I pushed open the door the smell of buttery crust, roasted chicken, gravy, and herbs smacked me right in the face like a warm delicious cloud, and I could practically hear my stomach celebrating like it had just won the lottery. I sat down in the chair, opened the menu, and realized almost immediately that ordering just one chicken pie would be an absolute tragedy and a personal failure, so I began carefully planning to try as many different pies as possible like some kind of overly dedicated chicken-pie scientist conducting extremely serious and important research. Naturally I started with the classic chicken pot pie because tradition must always be respected before you begin making ridiculous food decisions, and when it arrived the crust was perfectly golden and flaky and the steam rising out of it smelled so incredible that I actually leaned back in my chair for a second just to admire it like it was a beautiful work of art. The first bite nearly made me emotional because the creamy filling, the tender chunks of chicken, and the perfectly cooked vegetables all blended together in a way that made me wonder if this might secretly be the greatest food ever created in human history, and right then and there I decided I absolutely had to order another pie immediately just to confirm that the first one wasn't a lucky accident. After finishing that one at a pace that probably worried nearby customers, I confidently ordered a garlic herb chicken pie which smelled so amazing when it arrived that the table next to me actually stopped talking and turned around to look at it like I had just been served treasure. The crust shattered perfectly with every bite and the garlic and herbs made the entire pie taste so rich and comforting that I found myself nodding slowly like a judge on a cooking show who had just discovered enlightenment through baked poultry. At this point the waiter began giving my table the kind of cautious glances usually reserved for people doing something extremely questionable, mostly because the growing stack of empty pie dishes was starting to resemble a small pastry skyscraper, but I simply smiled politely and pointed at three more pies on the menu because clearly I had not yet completed my important culinary investigation. The next one to arrive was a spicy buffalo chicken pie which somehow managed to combine comfort food with complete chaos in the best way possible, and even though my forehead started sweating a little from the heat I refused to slow down because the flavor was so good that stopping would have been disrespectful to the chef. Not long after that I ordered a barbecue chicken pie because apparently my brain had decided that this entire meal was now a personal challenge, and the sweet smoky filling mixed with the buttery crust so perfectly that I briefly forgot how many pies I had already eaten and started thinking about ordering two more immediately. The waiter returned to the table and cautiously asked if I wanted anything else, and before he even finished the sentence I enthusiastically pointed to several more pies on the menu and said yes, because clearly this restaurant had not yet shown me everything it was capable of. Soon a mushroom chicken pie arrived and it was so rich and creamy that I had to pause for a moment and stare up at the ceiling while chewing, not because I was full but because my brain needed a second to process how unbelievably good the flavor was. Then came a chicken bacon ranch pie that honestly felt illegal in the best possible way, because every bite tasted like comfort, happiness, and the kind of decision that would absolutely confuse a doctor during a future checkup. By this point my table looked like the aftermath of a pie tornado because empty tins and plates were scattered everywhere, but that didn't stop me from continuing to scan the menu and point at more items like an explorer discovering entirely new lands made of chicken and pastry. The kitchen eventually sent out a special chef's chicken pie that I'm fairly certain was originally meant for multiple people to share, but I accepted the challenge with incredible enthusiasm because it smelled far too good to refuse. The crust was thicker, the filling was absolutely packed with chicken, and every bite tasted unbelievably good in a way that made me lean back and quietly whisper "wow" to myself several times. Around this time several employees casually walked past my table pretending to do other tasks but clearly just trying to observe the rapidly growing pile of empty pie tins, and I could feel the concern slowly spreading throughout the room as if everyone had realized they were witnessing some kind of historic chicken-pie event.

It is very difficult to get good chicken pot pies in the grocery store and this store was worth a try. The business was clean and the woman working there was helpful once we explained that it was our first time there. You can buy chicken pies with or without vegetables. They come in warm, cold and frozen. You can also order side dishes with the pies. We purchased two frozen pies with no vegetables. My wife likes to cook her own vegetables. At home, we cooked it according to the instructions and added mashed potatoes and vegetables. We thought the pie itself was very good. The crust was crispy and the pie was filled with a large amount of white meat. The gravy was very good too. We have already returned to this business for more of their frozen chicken pies. They are so much better than the grocery store brands. We just wish the store was closer to where we live.
