Gas station chicken... but maybe the best fried chicken we have had in awhile…read more My husband and and I started talking about fried chicken and then had to have it! He spent some time looking at reviews and recommendations on Yelp, Google, and Reddit because there weren't a lot of obvious places beyond KFC (no thanks). Krispy floated to the top for recs and we popped in and it was great. Everything was made fresh for our order and the man working told us next time we could call our order in to be ready for pickup or use Mr. Delivery. We waited about 15 minites for our order. The chicken was crispy, flaky, and juicy. So good. Our orders came with honey biscuits, which were nothing special but you need a biscuit with that chicken! Wings were good, not breaded and good flavor. We would prefer BuffaLouies if wings were the main pull, but a good option among their menu. Mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were solid. We had planned to try the jambalaya but they were out foe the night. We will be back the next time the fried chicken craving hits!

I don't eat chicken but was really curious to try the "not chicken" cauliflower - I missed it the…read morefirst time they offered it, but since they brought it back a few months ago I've gotten it a few times in different forms. It's really good! People who don't like imitation meats will appreciate this because it's not trying to be chicken at all - you can clearly tell it's breaded cauliflower. Great texture when you bite into the crispy breading and get the perfectly cooked flaky cauliflower inside. The seasoning is intense and delicious. The hot is legit hot, but even the milder spice levels are still flavorful. I tried the cauli bites, tenders, and slider. The tenders are huge! The cauli bites and chicken bites are the same price, but the cauli tenders cost $2 more per tender compared to the chicken, so meals with the tenders are $2-4 more to the equivalent chicken entrees, which is kind of ridiculous because cauliflower has to be cheaper than chicken. If you are interested in the cauliflower, be aware that the batter contains dairy and egg, and it's fried in the same oil as the chicken. So it's unfortunately not suitable for vegans or vegetarians who are strict about cross-contamination. Did not have great experiences with drinks either time I tried to get something. I tried to get a Powerade slush, but was told the Powerade machine wasn't working, so I could choose another flavor if I wanted. The fruit punch was also apparently not working (although I saw the worker pour some out and it looked fine from what I could see), so I ended up with orange which didn't really do anything for me. I tried to get iced tea on another visit. I attempted to mix the unsweetened and raspberry but I think the machine may have been not working or just out of tea because I got what tasted like straight raspberry syrup and was undrinkable. I will give the tea another go if I confirm that the machine is fixed, because I like the Gold Peak tea. I think the food is fried to order, so you have to wait for the stuff to be made, but considering that, the service is timely. The place has been clean when I'm there. The indoor seating feels very industrial but there's lots of outside seating which looks nice.

The staff were friendly. There were so many levels of seating which included long bench/tables accommodating for groups. Wings were great! The sweet Lou's were VERY sweet!

For my last meal (No, I'm not on death row) I had a pulled pork sandwich with the original sauce and the mac and cheese. Both were excellent! The food was cooked fast and it was nice and hot. It was cooked well, and the price was right! The specials looked really cool. The special that day was piggy mac, which is apparently pulled pork over mac and cheese. If you want some good BBQ, give it a try!

The brisket was a little dryer than I would've liked and it has some large fat chucks in it. The pulled pork was good but wish it had more of a peppery flavor. Bbq sauce was just okay. I had the original. My favorite types are normally a sweet heat type sauce. Mac and cheese was pretty good. Not amazing but pretty good. Service was great! Very friendly and helpful.

There's a bar side and a less bar side, but overall it does have a bar feel. The menu however, is elevated bar food. Not quite approaching Gastropub level, but more than what you're going to find in a dive bar situation. We enjoyed the breaded tenderloin sliders, the salmon BLT (that hoagie bun was pillowy soft), the sautéed brussels sprouts, and the potato pancakes. Although maybe they didn't call them pancakes? They were smashed potatoes. Loaded with butter, salt and pepper, and boy were they delicious. We had excellent service from Morgan, who was very attentive. And I don't know what mixture they're using of syrup and carbonation for their Diet Coke, but it was seriously good. Don't sleep on this place.

We weren't given menus and it was only assumed the QR code on the table was how we saw what to order. When we were ready to leave, we also waited quite awhile for the check and finally were told we could check out up front. That was the only more negative parts of our experience. They were pretty busy when we arrived. We did not have a reservation, but they were still able to find a table for us. The staff were super kind ! They have a pretty lengthy menu with all kinds of choices. My husband got the falafel plate. The white sauce (presumably a yogurt based) was delicious ! The falafel were kind of dry in my opinion, but I don't like falafel. My husband thought it was delicious. I ordered the laghman, which has to be one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had. The broth it was in, I could just drink. The meat was juicy and tender, well seasoned. The noodles were very interesting and chewy/bouncy. Very flavorful and fresh ! The little house is quite small but filled with so much personality. There are little trinkets and signs everywhere. I definitely recommend coming in !

Unfortunately the service made the experience unpleasant and uncomfortable. During the long wait…read morethat followed a bad customer service interaction, we were largely ignored by the waitstaff and weren't given any updates or explanation about the delay. Before any communication with wait staff, a small plate of hummus and bread was placed on the table without comment that we reasonably assumed was complimentary. After starting to eat it, a soft drink was later placed on the table. We then realized both had likely been a mistake and we told a waiter. The waiter proceed to tell the manager in a loud voice, "they were eating it!" The manager then came over to us and said we would be expected to pay for it and angrily gestured to the table it was intended for, drawing their hostile glances in turn. After trying to explain our perspective, we were effectively given the cold shoulder for the rest of the night. The food itself was fine once it finally arrived, but the long wait, lack of communication, and belligerent service overshadowed the meal. I understand that restaurants can get busy and hectic and mistakes can happen, but not giving us anything approaching the benefit of the doubt is simply bad customer service. Upon leaving we also discovered there was no bathroom, which sealed the poor impression.

Very aesthetically pleasing and cute spot for brunch. Our food was pretty mediocre and way too salty, plus for a place that's billed as a steakhouse, they claimed they did not have any steak sauce for the table. I'm not sure I believe that. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was nothing like Nashville hot chicken. It wasn't bad, but the sauce wasn't hot and completely missed the mark on the correct flavor for that style of chicken. We had a great server, just overall this place isn't really anything exciting so I definitely don't think we'll be back, especially with all the different cuisines that B-town has to offer.
