a close up of a container of fried chicken
Kevin W.

This place has been around for a while and with good reason! A good mix of the community show up here for good home-style fried chicken. The crust on the chicken is thinner than compared to chain restaurants, but personally I came for chicken as the main event and large amounts of breading. Please note that because this place is so popular you would be best served by ordering ahead to avoid a long wait, especially if you have a large order. The only negative I can think of is, due to the fact that this place has been around as long as it has the decor definitely reflects that in the farm theme wallpaper. As far as I'm concerned, though, the decor is a non-issue because I'm there to eat, not stare at the walls.

Had to check this place out because I'm from Maryland! Any time there is anything named after where I live, I have to try it...because usually, I never heard of such a thing at home. Insanely good southern hospitality. Greeted with a smile, served with a smile, and left with a "hope you come again and enjoy our food!". The chicken was super crisp and super juicy. The battered skin was very light. Hush puppies were better than the fries. The fried fish filets were so fresh, light, and flaky. For me the service bumped it up to a 4-star.

Large shrimp dinner. The food is amazing.

While visiting Florence recently, I decided to stop and pickup food for myself and the family. I…read morewas thrilled to try this spot because it's a new place and the food looked amazing. I spent well over $100 on various items: flounder, tilapia, shrimp, chicken wings, chicken tenders, chicken gizzards, mushrooms, crab bites, and okra; so this is a holistic review on my experience. My family and I are extremely fastidious about seafood but we became besotted by the flavors of each and every item. I must say that I was immensely impressed with absolutely everything!!! The food was freshly cooked, seasoned well and the unique takeout boxes were an awe-inspiring creative touch. Also, kudos to Feeling!!! She took the time to thoughtfully explain every item and made awesome suggestions on others to consider. The level of customer service she exuded was astonishing! Feeling had patience and simply an overall great attitude; although I had an influx of questions and was indecisive about items to purchase. Yes, I know is expected for her to provide this level of service but she went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. I truly appreciated it and look forward to returning the next time I'm in Florence! My family, who are locals to the area, has already committed to patronizing Angry Chicken O' Fish. Job well done!!!

We tried a few different things to get a feel for this place. Mac n cheese was very cheesy and what you'd expect from fast food - so thumbs up! The Fried mushrooms and the garlic parm dipping sauce was a great match! Button mushrooms were fresh and juicy! The Cayenne Chicken Ran h sandwiches were cooked nicely - had one who added Monterey Jack, one tossed in parm/garlic sauce and one with no bun with honey bbq. All great choices and happy peeps! Lastly we had chicken tender plate with pickles and some fries....all good! Nice change from zaxbys and Chik fil a ....worth a stop at this chain/city! Clean facility and kind staff! We will come back next road trip!

It's a cool looking place with some nostalgic photos around the restaurant. After you place your order, they will give you a number to put on your table and bring your food to you. The only thing I've had hear is the Cayenne Ranch Chicken. It is one of the best fast food chicken sandwiches I've had. Crispy, juicy, big, and just a twang of heat. Definitely a good spot to check out.

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Wow, REALLY good! Catfish Dinner Plate: excellent fish was…read moretasty and light. Rice was nice. Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

It's a cute little shop, with sandwiches, cakes, dips, appetizers, all sorts of homemade goodies ready to take with you. The menu also has a selection of casseroles, lunches and dinners. The cakes are HUGE! We settled on buying a red velvet cake. It was a bit pricey at $32 BUT it was so dang heavy, we asked if it was perhaps frozen?? It wasn't. While checking out, the lovely people behind the counter offered us a sample of the chicken salad. To me, chicken salad is good, but I can't say I've ever had chicken salad that blew my socks off... UNTIL THEN! Mmmmmm it was VERY good. It's been months and I still remember how incredibly tasty the chicken salad tasted. I'll be honest, I didn't say anything, but I'm hit or miss when it comes to red velvet so I was hesitant. Sometimes red velvet can taste bitter or just not good. My friend really wanted that one so I kept quiet. Boy am I glad I did! It was literally the most amazing red velvet cake I've ever tried. It's VERY rich so a small slice will do you (which means the cake will feed more!). Even as rich as it was, I was like a crackhead, wanting just a bit more. Since my friend lives solo, she insisted I take some cake with me. I should have taken more!!! I try not to live life with regrets, but that's one regret for 2015. :( My daughter will tell you she does NOT like red velvet. I forced her to close her eyes, and take a bite. She LOVED it! She scarfed down the slice I brought for her and wanted more. As I mentioned earlier, this was months ago and I still think about how great the cake and chicken salad tasted. I was shocked to see Kaleen's hadn't been created on Yelp yet! If you're anywhere nearby, STOP AT KALEEN'S! Totally worth it.
