The chicken was plentiful, fresh, and so delicious! There is a good amount of salt so if you're watching your salt this probably isn't best for you. The sides were a little disappointing because of how small they are. We had fries and collard greens. Taste was good but amount wasn't proportionate to the amount of chicken.

Good southern spot!…read more My friend came by here for a snack, and they did not disappoint. There is a good amount of parking for Hattie B's, and there is a pay to park lot next door as well. We got the pimento Mac and cheese cups, some miller lites, and the peach cobbler. The Mac and cheese was amazing, definitely a must try. The peach cobbler was good but the filling tasted like it was canned and the crust wasn't crispy. Next time I come by, I'd definitely want to try their banana pudding. The employees working were super nice and helpful. They were quick to take our orders and brought out our food very fast. I also liked that they had a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, this seems like a fun place to grab a drink with friends.

There is a large sign on the side of building. Entering from the street, there is a ramp down to the counter and seating area. Seating is mostly tables with a few stools at the counter. There is a sign above the counter on the right for takeout orders. The menu is simple. It's fried chicken. There are sides like slaw and baked beans with a few appetizers, but mostly it's chicken. Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.

So my first trip here I ended up getting a parking ticket that's par for the trip here. I stopped here because I wanted to get the Chicken & Hoecakes, it was close to breakfast so why not? The lady behind the counter tells me they never have breakfast, not that they are all out or I'm past breakfast serving time "They never have breakfast". Really? but it's on your website = http://sidechickdecatur.com/ I figured i'd do the chicken strips and fries then, what I got was overcooked strips and too salty fries. Not a good "welcome to the neighborhood" read more

Now, here is where the rating was impacted! I asked what type of fish it was before making a selection. The staff responded. "Catfish." Coo! Ultimately, it was NOT catfish. I would attribute the texture and how it fried to being along the lines of a Swai or similar fish. The only thing that saved it was the light cornmeal batter, which was good. Not much seasoning, so hot sauce was needed. Sides: Collard greens - good (per my hubs) Macaroni and cheese - standard/good (per my hubs) Deviled eggs - good Broccoli cheese casserole - PASS (there was some sort of brown crumble between the layer of cheese and the actual casserole and it was not needed and wasn't good! Hard, but honest opinion. Also, there were large mushrooms in the casserole (no, it wasn't from a mushroom soup), so beware if you're not a mushroom eater -- I don't mind. Mashed potatoes - good and creamy (Baby girl did no gravy, so we have no thoughts on that!) Fried okra - good (my fav of the sides for the day). We came before 11:30 AM and that proved to be ideal. By the time we left (12:15), it was packed tighter than a can of sardines! Ambiance -- ehhh. It's typical cafeteria vibes. No music. Basic decor.

I'm a little confused about their hours of operation and when they serve food or not. Looks like a really quaint, lovely place, we are from out of town and would have loved to try it. Today, after reading some Google Reviews it is apparent that other customers have complained about this restaurant's treatment of families with children in the past. This makes me sad. Our children are well behaved and dine out often. Anyway, because we were turned away we took our 8 top to Cherokee Rose and dropped $400 plus tip. That money would have gone to Sweet Potato Cafe.
