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.

If you're craving comfort food done RIGHT, Rooster Chicken and Waffles does not disappoint…read more Everything about my order hit. The food was fresh, hot, and a solid portion. You can tell they don't cut corners. I literally saw them in the back battering the chicken by hand, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. The sauces? All made in-house, and you can taste the difference. Every bite had flavor on flavor; no shortcuts here. They may have multiple locations, but this spot? Yeah... they put their foot in the food I'll definitely came back.

Apparently the most popular item are their tenders and I will agree! It's delicious! The 10-pc tenders are decently sized for $16.99. As soon as I walk-in, I am greeted with a beautiful smile and a friendly host! I also got the waffle fries and Mac and cheese with this order okay a Strawberry milkshake that looks very appetizing! The chicken is peppery and crunchy. The waffle fries are also well seasoned. I can't wait to try the Mac and cheese when I get home! They have an assortment of sauces with varying heat. Will you play it safe or you will you take the risk and sweat it! The business is clean and well kept. The colors are vibrant and very inviting. They have a good view of Main Street too!

If you're in Hartford looking for the real deal soul food, don't let the neighborhood fool you--Hot…read morePots has the best soul food sides in the city, period. This isn't Lilly's or any of the other "soul food" spots people usually talk about; this is the closest you're going to get to the quality and taste of Sandra's in New Haven. While I can't speak to their proteins, their sides are a masterclass in flavor and soul. My pro move is simple: grab a 20-piece suicide wings from Paul's Ranch House just down the block and pair them with the sides of your choice from here. Dinner is served. It's a fast-food environment, not fine dining, but the taste is elite and fits the budget perfectly. If you want authentic sides that actually hit the mark, this is a mandatory stop.

It's such a different taste from what you get at the usual halal carts, and I think people would take notice. The ooone thing I'd suggest is that they get some real hot sauce in there. If you ask for hot sauce, you get packets of Yi Pin (like what you get with Chinese takeout), and if you ask them to just make the dish spicy, they mix in a sort of chili paste. Both work, but I can't help but think how good the real stuff would be here. The fiery stuff you get at NY carts. That's the ticket.

I'm in Hartford and had to check this place out!…read more I ordered the six piece chicken wings with french fries and Pepsi, and it was a 10 minute wait . Without any seating in the restaurant, I took the boxed food out to my car. When I open the box of food there they were; the six piece chicken wings along with french fries that look like they were from McDonald's, along with the Pepsi The initial taste of the chicken and french fries revealed needed seasoning. Another words, no salt after they came out of the fryer. Once I applied a pretty good amount of salt, the crispy chicken wings just popped with flavor. The french fries were pretty good, fresh out of the fryer, and after the salt was applied, the fries tasted somewhere in between Burger King and McDonald's with flavor. In other words, they we're OK. This location is in a little strip mall across from the northwest police substation, on Farmington Avenue in Hartford. This was a great experience, and I really look forward to trying other things on this menu. If you feel like trying different; this is a great place to visit for great food reasonably priced.

Chicken City truly has a large variety of options to choose from, all of which that I've had have been entirely worth it. Honestly the fried chicken has never even made my stomach iffy, post drinking or not, so you could consider it nature's Gatorade. Definitely, definitely go to Chicken City!

My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens. Each item in the bowl stand out on their own and then compliment each other well when traveling to your tummy! I highly recommend it. PROS: Top notch customer service, flavorful, interactive self order kiosk, clean interior, great music and visually appealing wall art & food presentation. CON: Limited off street parking due to a small and busy commercial area, and I'd like to see a couple kiddie high chairs now that I'm a new mommy I notice the need. Great place! Try it and bring your family.

I kept hearing about this soul food spot, so while I was in the Wethersfield area, I decided to…read morestop by and see what the hype was about; Soul Bowl's Restaurant. I later found out they have other locations as well. When I arrived, I noticed this is more of a grab-and-go spot. There is no seating area for dining in, just a small waiting area with a couple of chairs. Parking is street parking, so keep that in mind when stopping by. I ordered in person, and I have to say the service was quick! Within about seven minutes, my food was ready. As soon as you walk in, you can see the menu and even see the kitchen area, which I always appreciate because you can get a feel for how your food is being prepared. The employee who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. You can also order online. I ordered the seasoned rice, shrimp, mac & cheese, and collard greens bowl. First impression... the bowl looked beautiful and was put together very nicely. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The shrimp was sautéed in a garlic sauce and had great flavor. The mac & cheese was definitely a highlight, very cheesy! When I put my fork into it, the cheese stretched and expanded the way you hope a good mac & cheese will. The collard greens were good, although I'll be honest, I've had better. They still complemented the bowl and added that classic soul food feel. At first glance, I thought, "Is this going to be enough?" But after eating it, I was completely satisfied and full. The portion was actually just right. The price was reasonable and within the range of what many restaurants are charging today. What makes this place stand out to me is that it tastes homemade and I love fresh food made with care. My only suggestion: PLEASE consider adding cornbread to the menu (hopefully soon ). A piece of cornbread would complete this bowl meal perfectly! Overall, I would definitely recommend Soul Bowl's. Great flavors, quick service, friendly staff, and that homemade comfort-food feeling. I'm already curious to try more from their menu! What should I try next?

I tried them again recently, and the quality looks like it's slipping. The waffle was not fresh, felt like a prepackaged waffle warmed up. The chicken wasn't breaded to be crispy, and the corn fritters were actually pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked well, and the portions were very large, but the quality was lacking. It's not bad chicken and waffles, but it is not as great as I once remembered.
