My research for good fried chicken in Kentucky led me to Grimes, and it did not disappoint. The…read morecashier was helpful in guiding my order, though keep in mind it's strictly a to-go spot with no seating. The food was reminiscent of homemade fried chicken excellent crispy skin with juicy, tender meat on the inside. The potato wedges were thick and well-seasoned with a nice kick of spice. The greens were very well made, and my only regret was not ordering more of them. -Mr.

I had a great experience at Joella's Hot Chicken in Lexington! If you enjoy hot chicken and like…read moresome serious flavor and spice, this is definitely a place worth checking out. I went with the spicy hot chicken and absolutely loved it. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning had a really good balance of flavor and heat. The spice definitely had a kick, but it didn't overpower the actual flavor of the chicken. That's what I really enjoyed about it -- you could taste the seasoning and the chicken while still getting that satisfying heat. The portion was good, the food came out fresh, and everything tasted like it had been prepared properly. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, which makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner. The staff was friendly and the overall experience was exactly what I was hoping for from a hot chicken restaurant. If you're a fan of spicy fried chicken, I definitely recommend giving Joella's a try. The spicy hot chicken was the highlight for me, and it's something I would order again.

However, once this food arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait. The spice in the jerk is enough to have a good kick, but not be overwhelming. I think if you love spice it is hot enough to be okay, and unless you are the wimpiest it also won't be too hot. I did like the pork quite a bit more than the chicken. Beef patties were solid/ average. Do NOT skip the coco bread!

And don't get me started on that garlic sauce and Nanna's banana pudding was astounding. I've never had banana pudding that good before. This is a MUST try!

The potatoes had great flavor but would have liked them a tad more crispy. They have a wide variety of sauce choices which is great. I wish they had better descriptions for some of them though. The Grippos dry rub and the Cajun lemon pepper were great but the dirt bowl classic just had some sort of flavor that made everyone with us dislike them...maybe cinnamon but can't put my finger on it. Overall they are worth a try if you want variety. If you want just a classic hot buffalo wing there are better options.

The price was $6.85 and a little over seven after tax. I got the original not the spicy. The chicken was flavorful and juicy and crispy on the outside. It was delicious. I chose to get the yams as a side and they were also delicious, just sweet enough without being overly sweet. I did look through the case at the other sides and I will say the other sides did not look very good. The macaroni and cheese Was not as appetizing looking as I wanted it to be. I would've rather had macaroni, but not the macaroni that I was seeing.

This KFC acts like YOU are the problem for daring to ask for fried chicken, and they, SHOCKING, don't have any. At a place literally called 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'!!! Every time we've asked, "Okay, what do you have then?", we get incorrect answers, attitude, or flat-out silence. We've been yelled at, cussed at, laughed at, IGNORED, and DENIED service more times than I can count!!! They almost NEVER have good chicken. Half the time they don't have crispy, sometimes they don't have original, sometimes they claim they have nothing at all, and when you ask politely what they do have, they get ANGRY at you and DEMAND you to tell them what you want! How the hell are we supposed to do that if you are out of almost everything we ask for?! I don't give 1‑star reviews lightly, I will 5‑star almost anything with a pulse... but this place? I'm not convinced anyone working here is fully awake, aware, or even sober!! You can SMELL the weed pouring out of the drive‑through window. Their eyes are wide, stunned, bloodshot... it's like being dragged into a dark hole vortex portal that throws you into indie horror movie universe. I have been desperate to find the corporate number to report these people and their atrocious impulse to yell back at a customer! Christ!! For years we've tried giving this location chance after chance. Different cars, different family members, different times of day.... they have the same rude behavior, give the same wrong orders, operate in the same chaos, so we KNOW they are not just singling us out. We've driven away empty‑handed many times because they either wouldn't respond or were completely incomprehensible!!! They've shorted us pieces of chicken, lied about what they have, and snapped at us for asking simple questions like whether we can order an 8 or 12 piece crispy meal. They get mad when you CLARIFY your order, even when they are the ones who repeated it wrong!! It's like they're offended by the idea of doing their job!! Like what the actual fuck?? Who the hell do these people think they are?!?! They are getting ANGRY at us because they tried saying "original" chicken back to us when we would clarify that 'no we said crispy, please'?! And they somehow thought it was their mighty-high-horse-right to yell at us that they don't have cripsy?!?!?! YELL at us!!! Like holy hell!! Why couldn't they clarify that they don't have cripsy when they asked us WHICH type of chicken we wanted for our basket AFTER they knew how many pieces we wanted?!?! It's like if a cynical person popped an entire bottle of bitch pills down their throats! When you pull up to the window and question the attitude, they act unhinged... flailing arms, constipated body language, and glaring like you're the one causing trouble!! It's honestly unsettling!!! Last night, we pulled up before 9pm, and the voice on the speaker sounded high out of his mind: "Uh, yeah?" We asked for an 8‑piece original meal. No answer. Minutes later: "...yeah, go ahead." We repeated the order clearly. Silence. When we asked if he was still there, he snickered and said "uh huh, go ahead," followed by coughing and what sounded like a muted headset. Meanwhile, employees were ducking behind walls, laughing, and hiding from cars. Oookay... McDonald's it is, then, I guess?! We don't go here often, but we've been here enough over the years to confidently say this isn't a one‑time issue. It's a pattern. And it's not just us, we CONSTANTLY see other customers frustrated, repeating their orders, being told to pull forward because something went wrong, or laughing nervously because the employees are so rude and unprofessional. This location has a great legacy in Kentucky, but the current staff does not care AT ALL. If it's late at night or anywhere near dinner time, good luck. The employees act like serving chicken is a personal insult to them. This place is absolute chaos, and it's honestly shocking it's allowed to operate like this. Absolute Trash.
