Lemon pepper wings

Used to be my favorite wings. Lunch special doesn't come with seasoning anymore. Might as well go to whoa wings.. J.R. is now the same quality for double price

Crinkle Fries

The service was great. The wings were delicious and piping hot. If there's anything that would've added to the culinary experience would have been some potato wedges or some hot potato chips to go with the wings. But, overall, great food and our server was also great.

I used to think they had the best wings as they are seasoned very well. Nowadays, the wings are getting worse every time I order from this establishment. They appear to be cooked, sat in a warmer than re-cook when orders are received and extremely dried out. The give you more drum instead of balancing out the order. The food is not hot but yet Lukewarm. I will be looking for somewhere to go for wings as they cost too much to not be satisfying.

Mild Lemon Pepper Wings and Fries

I love this place. The wings fried and baked are my favorite, plus the Quesadillas. Music plays over the speakers and Iove the vibe. Nice chill spot. I understand this restaurant is not looked at as a 5 star restaurant, and it's definitely not a 1 star. My service here is always great. So it's a 5 in my eyes. Check this place out. Great food and drinks.

Wings pretty good but fries terrible bland no taste. They should consider changing fries. Ambiance looks ok to go back for a seating.

The Service is always Amazing & they provide excellent Customer Service. Family friendly…read moreenvironment for dining in. The food is delicious also!!!! I definitely recommend. Sincerely, Goddess

Welcome back to the table…read more I find that most people dismiss rotisserie chicken as "basic," but finding one that is actually seasoned through to the bone is harder than it should be. I stopped by the Cowboy Chicken in McDonough looking for something reliable, and it delivered that specific, wood-fired comfort that's hard to replicate at home. The vibe is laid-back and rustic exactly what you'd expect from a spot centered around an open flame. The Spread We didn't hold back on the order, covering everything from the signature rotisserie to the brisket and bowls. The Signature Chicken: They use a dry rub and slow-roast the meat over real wood. The result is a juicy, tender interior with skin that carries a slight, salty crispness. What stood out most was the flavor penetration; the seasoning wasn't just sitting on the surface. Unlike many rotisserie spots where the center feels neglected or underdone, this was consistent throughout. It holds its own without needing sauce. The Sides: The Spanish Rice surprised me. Fluffy, well-seasoned, shelly in texture, and the addition of corn gave it a nice sweetness. The Mac and Cheese was a bit of a curveball; it's more on the liquid, saucy side, but the flavor builds on you the more you eat. The fries were perfect and held a solid crisp even after sitting for a bit. We ended up getting a second basket of Fries because the crunch held up beautifully, even as they cooled down. The Coleslaw will be a hit or miss for some, we had mixed reviews. The shredded cabbage was thicker than normal but the other half of the table it was perfect. Tinga Bowl ($14.00): If you want something that feels a bit lighter but still packs a punch, this is it. The shredded chicken has a balanced kick, paired with corn relish, black beans, and a sprinkle of "Cowboy Dust" for heat. It's refreshing but filling. Layered with rice, beans, corn relish, avocado, crema it all balances out. Not heavy, but still satisfying. Brisket Sandwich (13.75: The bread was lightly toasted, cradling pulled brisket that was smoky and not juicy because we needed sauce for it but the flavor was there. Crispy Tenders ($13.25): These were a table favorite. They nailed the external crunch without sacrificing the moisture of the chicken inside.Crunch on the outside, seasoned all the way through, and still tender inside. The Sweet Finish I'm officially a fan of their Texas Peach Cobbler. It leans more cake-like than soupy, which I prefer. It tasted fresh, warm and held its structure, making it a solid closer for a heavy meal. Service & Value The moment we walked in, the staff offered a genuine verbal welcome. The service was efficient, and the restaurant maintained a clean, organized look despite the steady flow of customers. At roughly $14-$15 for a plate with two sides and a roll, the portion size makes the pricing very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Table Approved This is the spot for a high-quality, fuss-free family dinner or a solo lunch when you're craving real wood-fired flavor without the fast food aftertaste. It's dependable, flavorful, and worth a visit for the chicken alone. Follow along where food meets adventure - Shallonz Table.

Hands down the best local burger I've had in McDonough! Golden Grill serves up that classic,…read moreno-fuss burger flavor that takes you straight back to an old-school diner but better. The burger was seasoned perfectly, juicy, and cooked just right. GG's sauce? A game changer. Tangy, savory, and just the right kick it ties the whole thing together. The fries were golden and crispy perfection, and the wings? Crunchy outside, flavorful inside, with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. It's clear they care about their food and their customers. If you see the Golden Grill truck, don't pass it up this is comfort food done right. Service was quick and efficient.

**This is for their second food truck located in the BP gas station parking lot off exit-201**…read more My notes on this place are on the picky side, on the boarder of personal tastes...because they are putting in the effort of kicking out some good food. Everything that came out was freshly fried and made with well maintained toppings/ingredients. So no complaints at all there. Burgers-My only note would be to season the meat with some burger seasoning once it's on the flat top. The bun is perfect, the veg is cold, the sauces are saucy and you take a bit of it all looking for the juicy flavorful combo but the meat just misses that mark. It doesn't need much...just a little shake of seasoning to round it all out. Mozza sticks and mac&cheese bits...have no notes, they were fried to order and came out screamin' hot...dipped in GGs sauce or the White Sauce was perfect. Sauces- GG sauce is a mayo, sriracha and sweet chili sauce mix...there may be other things in it too, but those are the top 3. White Sauce is their take on an Alabama white sauce...but this one is less vinegar and more creamy because of the mayo. Little bit of heat, but not what I would call spicy. I-75 Loaded fries...were loaded up! How the fries managed to stay crispy for as long as they did-with all the cheese and sauce defies logic. The jalapeños make this dish on the hotter side, so if you don't like heat...you should order it without them-because they don't skimp on them. Honestly this could have done without the hot Cheetos-they didn't really add to it other than color and they got mushy quick. We also got the beefy/steak rice bowl, but it was for my husband's meal prep the next day. It wouldn't be fair to review based on him eating it a day later...so I'm going to leave that review out. We did see several people ordering it while we waited...so I'm thinking it's a favorite. It's a food truck-not fast food so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our order. The crew working it were all nice and our food was well packaged so we suffered zero losses. We will be stopping by and trying all their chicken options for our next round!
