The atmosphere had that nostalgic charm that's hard to fake -- soft warm lighting, classic comfort-food smells drifting through the air, and the kind of relaxed, familiar vibe where you instantly feel at home. The fried chicken was phenomenal -- perfectly golden and crispy on the outside with juicy, flavorful meat underneath. That crunchy seasoned coating had the kind of homemade taste that instantly reminds you why classic Southern comfort food never goes out of style. The mashed potatoes were creamy and rich with smooth gravy poured generously over top, and the coleslaw added the perfect cool, tangy balance to the plate. Even the biscuit tasted fresh from the oven -- buttery, fluffy and impossible not to finish. This wasn't trendy food trying too hard. It was authentic, comforting, soul-satisfying cooking served in a place that feels frozen in time in all the right ways. Like an old-school Friday night dinner spot where the recipes haven't changed in decades because they never needed to.

I got the 2 piece snack, with chicken legs, potato salad, slaw, biscuit. I enjoyed my lunch. I did not go inside. I just went through drive through. The waitress was really friendly, and I liked the food better than several of the other restaurants on Piney Forest that I have visited. The slaw seemed different than any I had ever tasted. I am unsure what the difference was. It seemed to have less vinegar, and the spices seemed different. It was tasty though. The biscuit was really good, and I liked the potato salad. Chicken was tasty too, crisp, and not overly salty. I am attaching a photo..

I did an online order through the app. I got the sesame chicken, orange chicken, bejing beef, rice, lo mein. The chicken dishes were on par. The bejing beef was good with an extra kick. The lo mein was very tasty, not dry. The rice was awful!!! Beyond awful rice. Why I gave 3 stars, there was no customer service when going inside. It was like I inconvenienced them. No greeting, No friendliness, No smile, No thank you. NOTHING!!!! I thrive on customer service when I go out to eat, if I don't get that I don't go back. It doesn't take much to just smile, greet me, and thank me. SMH, disappointed!!!!

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was terrible from start to finish…read more First off, the food was cold and tasted old, like it had been sitting in a window for ages. The chicken was dry and overcooked instead of hot and juicy, and the fries were limp, greasy, and barely warm. What really pushed me over the edge was the portion size of the fries. I ordered large fries for my two girls, who absolutely LOVE Zaxby's fries and chicken, and what we got was a sad little handful of fries in each box. You can literally count them in the pictures. Calling that a "large" is honestly borderline robbery for the price you're charging. My kids were excited for their favorite meal and ended up disappointed, staring at a few cold fries and dried-out chicken strips. For what we paid, this is completely unacceptable. I've attached photos so management can see exactly what was served. This meal felt careless, lazy, and like no one bothered to check quality or portions before it went out. If this is the new standard, you're going to lose a lot of loyal customers. Sad and pathetic.

I decided to keep it simple and ordered a fried chicken biscuit with hash brown and orange juice. The biscuit was fluffy and absolutely delicious!

For both trips, we didn't go inside the facility, opting to just use their drive-thru, so I can't comment on the ambiance, but the service was average despite being quite busy.

My son and I had to try the new Jalapeño Ranch Chicken Club sandwich. I got mine grilled and he got…read morethe original. It had the right amount of jalapeños, but I was confused on the ranch part. There was no ranch on it- I couldn't even taste a hint of ranch. I later asked an employee about it. She stated that she thought that it was supposed to have come with a ranch packet to add to it and asked of it did. Neither sandwich came with one. She then asked if it was good anyway, to which I replied yes, I was just confused on the taste without ranch since it was called a ranch club. She started that thought the bread was made of buttermilk ranch type but said that she had never tried the sandwich. I also got the Sprite Hibiscus Strawberry drink. No flavored refills available if you ordered that (which I think is the norm for most places) but I could come back and get a drink refill. Not a bad experience, but chick-fil-a is fairly expensive in my opinion and almost always regarded as a treat.

The bartenders were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The menu is small but thoughtfully curated. The hush puppies were fantastic, and while my meal was good, I have to admit I left with a little food envy after hearing everyone rave about the Brussels sprouts! They also offer outdoor seating and a private event space downstairs. The cocktails were a bit on the pricey side, but the cozy atmosphere, great service, and local charm made it well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm ordering those Brussels sprouts.

The patty was tiny, with small tomatoes, and very little lettuce. It reminded me of a dollar menu McDonald's burger. And the price??? Almost $8. That is ridiculous!

Shortly before I arrived, a woman had ordered 7 or 8 separate orders & a the cashier was successfully directing the orders and getting each item to the customer so the rest of us waiting could get our food without waiting a long time. I probably only waited 7-8 minutes from arrival to receipt of my food. It's easy to complain about service when things go wrong, but this team deserves to be paid at least $15 an hour (preferably more) & treated with great respect. Great job, Wendy's staff!
