Take it to go! For the fried chicken with rice and gravy and Mac n cheese. It was all pretty good. Definitely not the best chicken I've ever had. Probably not even top ten. The inside of the place is a dump too, so I would plan on taking my order to go. If you're looking for a good home cooked meal in the middle of nowhere, Paula's hits. read more

Paula's Fried Chicken - Paula's fried chicken with rice and gravy and Mac. Best part about this plate is that it was only $10! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Dublin, Georgia

It never fails. Paula's fried chicken is . Again. My first stop in Dublin. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonably cheap. What do you expect from a historic hole in the wall. Either takeout and go. Or sit at the run down tables. It's clean inside. Whatever you decide, make sure to get your large half and half. read more

Fantastic fried chicken! Super friendly ladies. Highly recommend! Best chicken in Dublin

Stopped into Paula's on a Sunday. They were steadily busy the whole time I was there. Looks like a hole in the wall place, but has great food and staff. Had the fried chicken, black eyed peas, Mac and cheese and also some chicken and dressing. They put the meal in a white to go container, which would barely close from the amount of food they put inside it. It was really delicious and I would definitely recommend and go back there to eat. read more

The restaurant provides great Southern comfort food and very generous portions in a down home family restaurant. The prices are very good and the menu selections provide something for everyone's palate. I highly recommend them to anyone that loves good ole fashioned soul food! read more

Great food! Especially the peach cobbler it is a 10/10! Service was fast and friendly.

My paulas experience The fried chicken was great. Loved it very different. Had it fresh. The sides i had where not my favorite. Mac and cheese and potato salad. I guess im used to different taste ( east coast native) Location has parking or you can make a parking One cool feature it has a drive through Price is very fair. Customer service was the best part. Super friendly. Super helpful. Would i return? Yes on the weekday where they have full menu. read more

Over fried, dry chicken. Not good . Will not return. Not the best food or friendly service.

Staff makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. Best fried chicken in Middle Georgia. The sweet potato pie is the best dessert they offer. read more

Food was great. Not much for atmosphere. Service was good. Lots of people that were greeting each other.

On my way home! My husband saw a BBQ place and wanted to stop and purchase something to eat. Something told me to look at reviews. I'm glad I did! That's all I'm going to say about that. So Yelp gives you suggestions of places to eat. I scrolled pass many of them, until I came across this establishment. I said to my husband I found a place for you to eat. Although we had to double back, it was well worth it. I read the reviews on the fried chicken and let me just say I was not disappointed!!! I'm still sitting in parking lot as I type this message waiting on my 2nd order of chicken. Cabbage I consumed or vacuumed into my body was made just the way I like it. Young lady with the braces on her teeth was very polite! Which is a plus and refreshing to see. When dealing with the public especially! This will be my go to from now on! Thank you ladies! God bless you all! read more

Wow! In the absolute middle of Nowhere, Dublin, GA, is Paula's Chicken. I base my fried chicken taste off of that of my Grandmother Fowler's in Thomaston GA. This place stands up to it! Almost missed it coming off interstate. 2 miles to the right and walk into Fried Chicken heaven. It's counter service, sweet people... and the smells! My boyfriend and I had a bit of everything, chicken, porkchop, greens, okra, butter beans , mac and cheese and peach cobbler. Holy fried goodness! Chicken was perfectly cooked. The veggies all on point. Mac could have used pepper.. and be a bit less gooey. We ate it. Save room for the cobbler. So worth the stop. The seating is not the greatest, people were in line for take out the whole time we were there. Hope to make a trip down 16 West again soon. read more

This place is amazing! We stopped here based on reviews on our long drive home. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The fried chicken got two thumbs up from my picky eight year old and my older son was gobbling up the ribs. The ribs fell off the bone and were some of the best I've had! The staff handled a busy lunch hour rush with smiles and were chatting with everyone. Definitely try this place! read more

Best soul food around the area and friendly staff. I would recommend this to anyone that likes true soul food.

One of those holes in the wall, family owned with great service. The food is freaking good, ones of the best fried chicken I've ever had with all you down south fixings. They can be loud in the chicken some kind find it a little inappropriate but funny that's part of their appeal. If I'm ever driving through here I will stop for sure. read more

This place is a life changing experience. I got two fried pork chops rice and gravy with some Mac n Cheese. The fried pork chop was the best I have ever had. Juicy and crunchy. Not soggy batter falling off on the first bite. It held on until the end. It was like crunchy pork chop armor that held all the goodness inside. The rice and chicken gravy was a surprise star as well. They make the gravy with the baked chicken swimming around in it so it has tasty bits of chicken in every bite. Mac N Cheese was pretty much stolen by my wife. They ran out on my order so we decided to share. Oh I forgot the cobbler to end it. It tasted like a peach and a Cinn-a-bon had a child. Peachy cinnamon with chewy crunchy crust. Get your own! You're definitely not going to want to share. Staff was friendly, helpful and super polite. If you want the best southern food around this is a must stop. read more

The BEST fried chicken! Prices are excellent compared to Atlanta! I travel down from Kennesaw,Ga to Brunswick,Ga. A 5 hour drive, sister had a tournament on the exit. I usually stop at this exit for the Cheap gas and found this place! I will never eat anywhere else on the way home! Customer service is unmatched! Sweet ladies who are very accommodating! I had the whiting fish with fried chicken and 3 sides! Less than $10. The macaroni is good, fries, yams, and greens on Sunday's! A drink they call the flop which is just an Arnold Palmer is good too! And big cups! We went back to eat Saturday and Sunday! They're Open until 12am on Saturday's! Love love love read more

Best fried chicken I have ever had in my entire life. The staff could not be nicer, they were so lovely. We even tried the chitlins......that was interesting. You definitely have to eat here!!! read more

The fried chicken and ribs were delicious, and they were very cheap. The restaurant made everything in house. The ladies there were very friendly. Only a few mins off I-16, this restaurant is a great stop for refueling and some gas (the CITGO across the street has cheapest gas along I-16 from Macon - Savannah yet not frequently reported on Gasbuddy due to lightly traveled road.) read more

This place is the real deal! We stopped here on our way from Savannah to Atlanta. It's a few miles off highway 16 and definitely worth a detour. We had their fried chicken (both white and dark) and it was amazing. Some of the best fried chicken we've ever had. For sides, we had the mac and cheese and the yams. Both were delicious, but the yams were out of this world. If you are looking for an inexpensive bite to eat, stop here. Your stomach with thank you. read more

Yes, this place is on point! You could tell the food is cooked with love. The food is fresh and the staff was very friendly. Being a local, we've got 4 or 5 southern soul food restaurants to choose from and they are all good however, this place has a genuine-grandma cooked-get all you want baby-flavor infused into the food. You can't go wrong with this place. A+ read more

This is some of the best, if not the greatest, fried chicken I have ever set my tastebuds on. The service was friendly, with the nice lady operating the "drive-thru" glady telling me about their current specials. She alone would have sold me on the food if I hadn't been to this establishment once before years prior. So, stop your readin' & go getcha some grease! read more
