Unfortunately, NOT in this case. $24 for a chicken sandwich and fries. As you can see from my picture, I got a pitiful sandwich.

Hattie's Chicken Shack is the casual counter ordering restaurant on Route 50. We like to order…read morethe family meal with three sides as we make two meals out of our order. My husband and I dined in. Hattie's original fried chicken is lip smacking good: crispy coating on the outside, the chicken is tender and juicy. We opted for 3 sides: sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese and Hattie's collard greens. All three are generous in size and absolutely delicious! The young men who were behind the counter are friendly, attentive and keep the place spotless. As we were packing up the rest of our food to take home, one of the employees offered to clear our table for us.

A trip to their website showed me that Tex's is a NYC chain. Reviews compare them to Popeye's,…read morebecause of their fried chicken. But because they also serve burgers, I think a comparison to Roy Rogers is more appropriate (minus the fixin's bar I really liked). (Side note: There are no more Roy Rogers in New York State, they're only in Mid-Atlantic states at this point). The restaurant is tiny, with about 5 booths and a few small tables, but when I came in for lunch, it was immaculate. My first meal here was a chicken combo, spicy, with cole slaw. I really like their chicken; their spicy chicken has exactly the right amount of heat and flavor that I want. It's also extra, extra, crispy. I feel sorry for those who have to clean up after anyone who eats in, because there will be lots of batter flakes all over the place. And there's no sporks, it's all plastic forks, knives, and spoons. And now, for the picky stuff: You get a slightly larger amount of cole slaw than at similar restaurants. But the chop is finer, and there's more mayonnaise, so for me, it was too mushy. I probably won't order it again, instead I'll check out other sides. The biscuit was fluffy and less salty than at other places, but it was slightly dry, probably having been under a heat lamp for a while. The combo includes a fountain drink, from a smaller, older-style Coke dispenser for which there are only 6 options, one of them being sweetened iced tea. Unsweetened ice tea was not available as far as I could tell, so if that's true, your only unsweetened option is water, out of the dispenser or bottled. I found it amusing to see, in big letters under the counter, "We cook fresh all day," with about 3 dozen pieces of chicken under heat lamps in the back. Just how often during the day do you cook fresh? The bathroom was clean, but the dispensers were out of soap and paper towels. This is not a good thing for a place serving fried chicken. And it was only about 75 minutes into the day when I was there, I would find it hard to believe it was all used up in 75 minutes. More likely, it was never restocked at the start of the business day. C'mon, you can do better. This is easy to fix. I'll definitely be back if only for the chicken, but I do intend to try the burgers and also the other sides. If those are as good as the chicken, and the beverage and bathroom stuff gets better, I'll add more stars to a revised review for sure.

While I waited the roughly 15 minutes it typically takes for your order to be prepared here, I had…read morea chance to think about a few things... Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

So my brother and I decided to check this place out before a concert at SPAC. I ordered the Buffalo…read morechicken sandwich he got the honky tonk chicken sandwich and we ordered a side of fries. My sandwich was okay. The buffalo sauce was def beyond mild which was something I'm not knocking but he said his Nashville sauce had not flavor and was very watery. We ordered waters but they said they didn't have ice so brought out 2 cups half full of water. The girls working were so sweet though. It's a great place thought if you just wanted to swing through for a quick bite to eat. Ton of potential to make it even better if they wanted too. I'll be back though. Try some pizza.

I was hungry, so I grabbed a drumstick as soon as it cooled off enough to hold and chomped on it in the car. Man was that good excellent and huge pieces. Perfect breading. I'm sorry to report, though that the sides are no longer a key reason to come here. The portions have shrunk dramatically, and my coleslaw and potato salad have been very ordinary, tasting the last two times. If they add an option to order just chicken I would choose that next time.

The portions were satisfying, and the food arrived hot and well-prepared. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and efficient.

Overall, BIRDCODE Chicken is a good spot for fried chicken and sandwiches, and I would definitely consider coming back to try more items from the menu.

Chick-fil-A is one of the few fast food places that's consistently great every time I go…read more I usually order the classic chicken sandwich and add extra Chick-fil-A sauce, which in my opinion is the best combo. The chicken is always hot and crispy, the bun is soft, and it just hits the spot. The waffle fries are also the best fries in fast food if you ask me. What really stands out though is the service. The staff is always super friendly and somehow they manage to move people through the line incredibly fast, even when it looks packed. Between the food, the fries, and how well they run the place, it's easily one of my favorite quick stops when I'm out with my family.

The rest of the food (chicken minis and hash browns) were hot and delicious. The bottled orange juice was cold and tasty. The drive-thru cashier looked like the actor Lukas Gage!

I got the Dizzy Chicken with Dizzy sauce with the Mac and cheese and collard greens, it was absolutely phenomenal! The chicken was moist and flavorful, Mac and cheese was extremely cheesy but not super heavy on the first bite, the collard greens had a nice kick to add to everything! My boyfriend got the ribs with cornbread and potatoes... the cornbread was moist and a perfect balance of sweet and savory. My boyfriend doesn't like a whole ton of sauce on his ribs but isn't one to say much about altering an order, but he said he had no complaints! The sauce was sweet sauce but they do have other options! Their menu was pretty simple but that was nice after a long day of driving. The service was helpful and comfortable. I would love to stop again!

I stopped by Juju's for takeout recently. I ordered the Chicken Gyro ($14 plus tax) and Onion Petals ($7 plus tax), which was all set and bagged in under 10 minutes. The big gyro was overfilled with romaine lettuce, tomato, creamy dressing & crispy breaded popcorn chicken pieces in a thick soft gyro wrap. The onion petals were crispy outside and on the greasy side and had a very salty flavor. Overall, not a bad place to stop for a snack before and after the movie.
