Opened in 2016, Slappy's is "Carolina Dipped Chicken" which is something I've not encountered…read morebefore. Different than "Nashville Hot Chicken" where a hot paste is added after cooking, this is dunked in a tangy, spicy sauce after cooking. Carolina's version leans into a vinegar-pepper flavor that's typical of Eastern NC barbecue. I arrived just before the lunch rush so I was able to get a table near the door where I could enjoy my lunch while watching the queue grow a bit. The chicken was moist and flavorful, still very hot from the fryer. Hot enough that I had to start with a knife and fork to tear it up before I could dig in. My sides were okay. The potato salad was a mush. Pleasant flavor but no texture that leaned into mashed territory. The mac and cheese was good but overdone noodles and no "tang" from the cheese. I'd try other sides next time. Slappy's is consistently rated as a top fried chicken place in a state of great fried chicken places. The concept is top-notch and the chicken was great. The sides let it down for me. [Round number 24500 overall - 945 of 2025 - 4348 in North Carolina]

Cheap fuel and fried chicken, this is the place. I stop here periodically while traveling through…read morethe area. Fuel is consistently less than everywhere else by at least 10 cents a gallon or more. There's an additional savings for paying with cash as well. Then the fried chicken, its some of the best around. Prepared fresh daily, at a fair value. From a single piece to huge buckets, you can get whatever you want in quantity or not. I often grab a small box for the road, its always been freshly made and good. The staff are all friendly, kind, helpful and will get you set up quickly. This place is old school, with two registers at the counter. Dodge's has been here forever and has a wide selection of convenient store items as well. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the good folks that work here and the good fried chicken 01077

It's inconceivable how on July 20th of this year it will have been a year since the grand opening…read moreof HCK Hot Chicken in Vinton, Virginia and I hadn't heard of it. I can say it's the best kept secret of the Town of Vinton, in Roanoke County, and it's about time that it no longer be a secret. I am determined to go try it out and spread the word. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those young established ones that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And HCK Hot Chicken is the perfect example. Located off East Washington Avenue, in one of the most beautiful areas of Vinton, near William Byrd High School, this restaurant is located inside a long standing convenience store, "Vinton Tobacco & Grocery," and in the same location of a bp gas station, but don't let this fool you, it has its own entrance on the side, its own parking lot, and a drive-thru lane for ordering. Besides this, its owner has done a great renovation job, that this is one of the cleanest gas stations/convenience stores that I have ever been to, and because of this it in no way detracts from the clean, bright, and contemporary ambiance of the restaurant itself. Founded in 2020, in Woodbridge, Virginia, the first HCK (Hot Chicken Kitchen) Hot Chicken restaurant had as its Mission: "Unity through Food." Recognizing the power of food to bring people together. Their belief is that "food unites us and can lift people up." There menu features succulent Nashville-style chicken sandwiches, classic and boneless chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken and Belgian waffles, loaded fries, loaded mac and cheese, coleslaw, fried pickles, fried donut drops, and more. The owner of the restaurant who warmly greeted me when I arrived told me that all of their dishes are gluten and allergen free. With no MSG and no peanut oil.The chicken is farm-raised, fed only vegetables and grains, with no use of growth-boosting chemicals. When one enters the restaurant, it is nicely designed (with the colors red, black, and white), and with hardwood floors, wood tone tables and chairs, a well organized ordering counter, and a well lit menu high above the counter, as well as with large pictures of menu item just below the menu sign. The very friendly and knowledgeable order taker took my order from behind the counter. I ordered a Nashville Style Chicken Sandwich Combo with the mildest sauce they had. It came with their seasoned krinkle kut fries, a side of good sauce, and a drink. Not bad for $14.49, especially after you taste the food. The chicken was the plumpiest, juiciest, and tastiest chicken that I have ever eaten in a sandwich. The fresh toasted artisan potato bun complimented its flavor. The fries were crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, seasoned to perfection. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review and see for yourselves because a picture is worth a thousand words. The welcoming and hospitable owner came to see how I had liked the food and I told him how amazing everything had been and that I looked forward to returning to try other menu items such as the Fried Donut Drops. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant for a very unique and wonderful chicken dining experience. Amazing food, clean and comfortable environment, and excellent customer service.

For sides it has mashed potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese and fries at this location, some locations also have red beans and rice and boudin balls according to their website. I was kind of disappointed this one didn't serve them. I had a two-piece white combo which was a breast, a wing, a biscuit a side and a drink for $ 6:40. It's advertised as Cajun spiced chicken but I didn't find it anywhere near the level of spiciness of Bojangles or Popeyes but it had a little bit of zip to it. The coating was definitely crispy and crunchy and the white meat inside was tender and very juicy, surprisingly so actually. The biscuit was slathered in honey butter which I don't particularly care for but if you like sweet you'll dig it. The mac and cheese with standard pre-made Food Service type not really good but not really bad. I can't say I would choose it over Popeye's or Bojangles but if I was in the area and hungry like I was today I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

On my way back home from DC going that back way and I finally decided I needed a break around…read moreLynchburg, VA. So I pulled out the trusty Yelp app to see if there might be something interesting to try in the area. I landed on a well rated Peruvian fast-casual place called Colca's Chicken and decided to stop in. This is a newer building, but the layout is a little odd in the sense that all parking is around the side and back, and because of the topography, you have to walk around to the road-side to get in. Only really pertinent if you are a person with mobility issues, fine by me. The style is fast casual, and they offer anything from simple sandwiches, to monster burritos, and entree platters. I saw someone getting a burrito and it looked really good, so I went for the "Colca"s Chicken burrito" which came with Marinated Chicken, Peruvian Fried Rice, Peruvian Chickpeas, Queso Fresco, Peruvian Onions, Cilantro, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, Roasted Peruvian Corn, traditional Peruvian Aji Yellow Sauce. Sorry for all those caps, i copy pasted from their website. First thing... what a monster. There was so much protein and fillings in this thing that the guy making mine completely failed to roll it properly. Just wasnt possible. He did his best but a big tear opened up in the side. I told him it was OK, and he just wrapped it over with foil. I was able to eat about half before grabbing a fork and having the rest more like a bowl. Honestly though, it was so big, a little more than half was all I wanted. I wish I could say I enjoyed all of it thoroughly, but one of the elements, the roasted corn, made it difficult. The corn was so over-roasted that all the kernels were hard. It was nearly like biting into a popcorn kernel, but thankfully, they did break apart once you bit in. Whenever I hit some, it was unpleasant. Once I got in with a fork, I did my best ot separate them out, but kept hitting some. I also wasn't a huge fan of the garbanzo beans. I would know better on both items for next time. In general though, with that knowledge, I think my next experience would be better, if I get that chance. Seems like a great local place to go for an interesting meal.

Food is usually good but Collinsville has some of the worst workers around. Very rude. Some never say a nice word at all and act like they don't want to be there.

Need to go through and let some go and hire people that are not so hateful. You know customer service is a big part of a business staying open and we certainly dont need to close another business in this area. While thank you and have a good day is not hard to say, some of your employees could use a lesson or two.
