I found Helen's Hot Chicken & Seafood on TikTok and decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did!…read more This is a family-owned business, and everything is cooked to order, so expect a little wait--but it's worth it for fresh food. We ordered the catfish, whiting, chicken, and a kids' chicken tender meal. For sides, we tried the okra, potato salad, and fries. The standout for me was the catfish with the mild seasoning. The flavor was excellent and perfectly balanced. I couldn't taste the seasoning quite as much on the chicken, but it was still good. We also tried the Hot Honey sauce, which added a nice sweet-and-spicy kick. The sides were decent, the portions were satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable. I also noticed they offer daily specials, which is a nice bonus. Overall, a solid spot for fresh seafood and chicken, friendly family-business vibes, and good value.

I noticed this place about 6 months ago and this is the first time I have stopped in…read more I asked "what's good?" and every else waiting for their food said, "everything"! That's a good sign to say the least. I ordered a chicken tender combo meal to try this place out since everything's good ! I got it hot with fries and a drink. The chicken was great with the homemade ranch dressing. It had just enough heat and yet still great flavor. I took my last chicken finer to my son and it was at the peak of his heat tolerance but he still really enjoyed it. Next time I want to try the seafood. Only downside is the deep fryer smell that lingered in my clothes after being in the restaurant. I think next time I will call ahead and limit my time on the restaurant. With that said, everyone was very friendly from the staff to the customers. Helen's know how to fry up some goodness. O

I've been wanting to check out this cute location since it opened and I finally was in the area…read morearound lunch time to give them a try. I was a bit early for lunch arriving around 11:30 am. There was only two people in this very cute restaurant. Lots of table and chairs inside and outside for seating. I was a bit overwhelmed trying to take everything in. They have a counter top where you can see them cutting actual chicken and potatoes for the fries and placing them into what appears to be high pressure deep fryers. This place has been set up to make you the best pieces of chicken you can get. I ordered The Beaut (minus the mayo) a large chicken breast covered in a crispy batter and perfectly deep fried! There was a good amount of pickles with the sandwich, like 4 or 5 which really covered the entire sandwich so you always got a bit of them. The bun was not my favorite. I'm not sure how to describe it. A little smushed is the best way I guess. I also ordered a 6 piece bites package. These things were full on huge chunks of chicken they seasoned and deep fried. I don't normally like to take pictures of food partially eaten but I had to show what one of the bites looked like after taking a bite. They were large, hot and cooked to perfection. I did try some of their BBQ sauce. Not a big fan but it wasn't bad. I also got an order of the skin on hand cut fries! OMG they were so good! They gave me a large bag of hot fries that just totally completed this meal! And I'm talking they should have come with a warning they were so hot! Loved it! As I was waiting for my order to be bagged I notice the large cookies and the glazed hand pies they had on the counter. This isn't like other major food chains so the price is a little higher but you are getting quality food. If you are looking for some good fried chicken and hot fries then I highly recommend this place!

For some reason I thought it was a hot chicken sandwich place. Very cool throw back dinner motif…read more Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly, food was quick I got the cheesy Beaut the sandwich was a good chicken sandwich crisp not greasy. Good flavor for a standard chicken sandwich, a little more mayo than I prefer, but it's dukes which is outstanding. In retrospect there is a hot thigh sandwich, they need a breast sandwich "Nashville hot" They offer some sauces but it did not notice when ordering, if they ask I would have bought some Slaw was very good It's worth a try, it's very good chicken

Hardly review bet felt the need to with this one…read more Absolutely the worst customer service experience I've probably ever had. Waited about 30 minutes to be seated with hardly any customers present at the time of arrival, consistently had staff walk past us without acknowledging our arrival. When we finally got seated it took about an hour for us to get our food. When the wings we ordered finally arrived it was very dry and overly seasoned. The environment was also way too loud with the speakers at almost max volume. I do not recommend this location at all.

Worst Applebees ever. We waited at the entrance for like 5 mins and no one greeted us or anything…read more Waitresses walking by and nothing. We decided to just sit at a table. Two other groups of people showed up and they were greeted and seated. They received menus and everything. My husband asked one waitress walking around with menus if we could have some. All she said was, "your server will be right with you". She didn't give us menus. lol We waited and waited and nothing. We decided to walk out. We literally felt invisible. Terrible service. Zero stars

This was my second visit, and once again, I was truly impressed…read more From the customer service to the food, everything was excellent. It can get quite busy and loud, so it's not the best place for an intimate conversation, and reservations can sometimes be difficult to get. That said, it's absolutely worth it. The menu changes regularly, so I try to visit whenever they announce a new one. Yesterday, we shared several small plates. The bacon-wrapped dates were phenomenal. I almost ordered a second serving before realizing we still had four other dishes coming! The chicken and waffles definitely satisfied my craving--crispy, savory, and full of flavor. The mushroom ravioli was also outstanding. We finished with the stuffed calamari, which reminded me of something my mom used to make when I was younger. It wasn't Asian-inspired like hers, but the concept brought back some wonderful memories. To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious dessert while feeling pleasantly tipsy from the evening. I'd call that a win!
