The worst fried chicken I have ever had. The chicken was over fried and very very small pieces...

Only good thing about this place is a breakfast chicken biscuit. All of their other food is complete shit, I was glad my fries were hot but they are stone cold internally. Can't even make dessert good so they had to get portal bakery cake. read more

Chicken Biscuits are the best I've ever had. Generous pieces of fried chicken served piping hot on a moist southern biscuit! And so reasonably priced! 2 for $6 read more

Food is seasoned and hot. I like the fact I was given plastic ware and hot sauce . I will eat there again

After waiting 13 minutes to place my order, I was told that it be another 15 minutes for dark meat only. This is my third visit with the same outcome so I won't be coming back. Polite staff but where is the manager? And why I have I hostess when you can't even place an order? read more

Was closing down 15 minutes before 9 and told us they are about to close and all they had were a few logs and legs and 1 wing. He told us he didn't know how long the logs were sitting there. We left read more

Used to be the best place for Chicken Gizzards in Statesboro. But NOW they have stopped cooking Gizzards for Statesboro. Guess have to find another Gizzard place.... No worries that was all they was good for.... read more

Great customer service and the food was hot and delicious. Also the cook put his foot, leg, arm, and whatever else in that chicken breas, definitely will be returning soon. read more

I've been coming here for over 3 years now and have loved it every single time I've been. Their breakfast, and lunch/dinner options are always the best to get quick and cheaply priced southern food. The service is friendly and communicative too if there is ever a problem or wait. The chicken is good and the 'taters are yummy, however you choose to get them. And the sweet tea is sweet enough to give you diabetes. Lol. My personal fav is their chicken biscuits with hash browns and a sweet tea in the morning. Biscuits are always soft, hash browns are always crispy, and chicken is always tender. And an added plus, they don't stop serving breakfast until 11:00 A.M. so if you miss Chick-fil-A's 10:30 A.M. cut off, come here to get your breakfast! Also, they are open on Sunday's for before and after church. :) read more

See all

Terrible. I have been here a handful of times and have finally had enough. Waited 40 minutes in line for TWO chicken sandwiches. Rude workers along with terrible, slow service. Wish I could give this place zero stars. read more

Stopped by for a family dinner meal 8/16/21 @4:20pm. Ordered a family sized meal and a chicken sandwich meal. The "worst" I ever experienced! Chicken was all miniature pieces with NO MEAT and completely dried and I honestly believe it was yesterdays leftovers? Fries were limp and cold, mashed potatoes are horrible! I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN! The Owner needs to drive through unexpected to test his own product! I would be ashamed if I owned this franchise. read more

Zero stars. This place is absolutely terrible. Service is terrible. You always bring out the order together not part of it. Then have the customer go up to the counter to get the rest of it then the staff take their sweet time to get the order and somehow still managed to get it wrong. When told it was wrong the employee huffed and puffed about. Shit service and restaurant. Others in the party left with over half of there food because it was cold when it came out. read more

Used to love this place. Prices have gotten ridiculous and today I found mold on my egg.... I'm extremely disappointed and so upset to see this has gone downhill as bad as they have. I'd skip out on this place if you're thinking about going and can't believe I'm saying this because it used to be my absolute favorite spot for breakfast. read more

I stumbled upon Uncle Shug's due to a coworker's insistence that we take a detour into the town of Statesboro just so we can go eat here on our four hour road trip down to the border of Florida. Uncle Shug's is a charming little chicken stop right on the side of the freeway, conveniently located beside a gas station. Whereas everything about this place yells "quaint," "family-owned," and "local watering hole," the food here wasn't really my cup of tea. The chicken was indeed juicy, tender, crispy, and hot as expected from an establishment that prides itself on fried chicken, but a tad bit salty for my non-Southern taste buds. The beans I ordered as a side were literally drowned in salt; adding pepper helped a little, but it was otherwise unpalatable. Uncle Shug's one saving grace, however, is their chicken gizzards; these were seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of batter. And with that, I'm good with not eating fried chicken for another half year. read more

This place is trash. Worst example of quality help. The store is so cheap and lazy they stop cooking new meat after 7. "Only chicken fingers left, no we cannot cut them into chicken fingers, we can't make more potatoes logs even if we are open 3 more hours." I get acid reflux driving by read more

My goodness this place is awful. Apparently Uncle Shug is a fan of old chicken because the stuff they served us had been sitting for hours. You could easily see it was dried out just by looking at it. The mashed potatoes were mediocre at best topped with watery gravy. The Mac n cheese was some of the worst I've had. Chicken nuggets were okay. Avoid this place! read more

Best chicken biscuits in the 'Boro! Skip Chick fil A, this place will leave you screaming for more! The biscuits, the chicken, the everything. Eat. Here. Now. read more

My never ending quest to eat at every gas station restaurant marches on. This time it was Statesboro. Leave all your ill conceived visions of healthy eating at the gas pumps. Shug's is about filling your belly or as I call it "Carb Loading". Go with fried chicken, mac-n-cheese & Texas toast, by meals end I christened that combo "The Trilogy". Oh yeah also go with the sweet tea. read more

The be at fried chicken I've ever had. Hands down. Words can't express the taste and flavor. Wish they had this place all over. Their chicken is better then Popeyes. read more

RAW chicken! My order was missing food altogether and gave me individual sides when I ordered large family sizes. I didn't get my desserts. And the topping on the salmonella cake was the rawww chicken with the soft, soggy skin. read more

The shugs sauce was great you have to try it. The fries were not my favorite. The baked beans were amazing. read more

Uncle Shug's Chicken Barn - a sign for a barbecue place - Chicken Wings Near Me - Statesboro, Georgia

My son and I stopped by to pick up chicken to take home after running errands in Statesboro. Our first visit. First of all, I was so impressed with the warm, friendly employees. I even asked their names! K.B. and Shakira were outstanding! Even the young lady who worked at the drive thru was smiling as she filled orders. Then, the food! We ordered a family portion of fried chicken. It was delicious! The biscuits were also delicious. I am so glad we stopped by at our new place for chicken! We will be back! read more

I've never left a bad review on Yelp, but after eating here i had to. I'd first like to say I used the drive thru and it was quick and the staff was pleasant. That being said I ordered a chicken biscuit, and by far it was the worst biscuit I've ever had. The chicken was very greasy and the biscuit was hard and over cooked. I took two bites and threw it out. My stomach literally hurt for the rest of the day. A big disappointment! read more

Had the all you can eat buffet (specifically to try the pulled pork) Pulled pork was dry, with hard outer skin chunks in the mix. Hard to chew (and I have all my own teeth) Only one style BBQ sauce offered. (and it was not the best..,,in my book) No Lexington style vinegar/tomato base BBQ sauce here... Cole slaw was excellent! Slightly sweet. (went for seconds) Grilled chicken was OK. Fried chicken was dry and slightly overcooked. Pork chops were tasty! Peas were bland... Just bulk boiled. Pretty pricey at $12+ for a buffet (with Iced tea) Staff was nice. Won't be going back. read more

Went to Uncle Shug's last night. I ordered the patty melt. My son ordered fried chicken, Mac & cheese, biscuit. By far it was the worst food I've eaten in Statesboro. It had been pre-made and sitting. It was cold and dry. All of it. We went thru the drive up and I even commented to the window that that was the quickest service ever. Of course it was ... it had been cooked hours before. Never again. read more

The breakfast cup with grits, egg, cheese and choice of meat it amazing. Hot gooey cheesy grit goodness. Chicken fingers yummy. But those chicken biscuits are out of this world melt in your mouth. Fast convenient and staff always friendly. Never had an issue like the other reviews with staff. Always pleasant. read more

Being a local to statesboro, I have gone to Uncle shugs many of times and use to go VERY often, loved the food. The past year I have been highly disappointed. The service is horrible. The people working have been very rude and lazy. Just went through the drive thru. The person at the window did not say one word to me or even look in my direction, as she basically pushed the food into my car. I've never written a review or have been one to complain but the owners need to know of the decline in quality and service. I am very disappointed read more

read the reviews before I came and still figured I'd give it a chance. Waited 30 mins before even placing order. Got one 2 pc combo, waited even longer, had my order wrong at the window, I corrected them, got charged $22 (my meal was $6), and STILL got the wrong thing AND they forgot my drink. was trying to be hopeful, but instead am disappointed but not surprised read more

I am writing this review to inform you all of my experience of Shug's. I traveled about two hours to come to Splash in the Boro with four children Friday. After our great time there, my sister suggested I call in to Uncle Shug's Chicken Barn and order a 20 piece tenders meal, since she eats from there quite often, getting their family meals. I called in and the first person didn't know what meal I was ordering, she asked another worker and she took over the phone call. After placing the order, I asked how long would it take and she said "we are about to cook it now, you can go ahead and leave". I left my sister's place shortly after and upon entering Shug's they told me it would be ready in a moment. A worker came out about 4 minutes later and told me they were waiting on the fries but everything else was done. I waited for a total of 10-15 minutes for the meal. Once I arrived back at my sister's home I noticed they gave me a box of old fries and a box of fresh fries! The chicken was barely warm and the toast was in the box with the chicken so it absorb the wetness from the steam. I called back up to Shug's and told them about the old fries and I left my sisters name for the box of fries, that they offered. I took a picture of the fries and didnt complain about the chicken cause I was hungry and I wasnt going back out. I will not go back to Shug's, I'd rather go up the street and eat from The Boiling Shrimp. Uncle Shug's has some unhappy customers, while they tried to rectify the problem with a box of fries. Are they expecting me to buy more chicken to go with the fries? They messed up our dining experience, why should we be inconvenienced to spend more money because of their mistake. They may not miss my business, but I'm sure they will miss my sister's and her family of 6. And just in case an employee or the owner reads these reviews, the purpose of the call-in order, is so that it will be ready upon arrival. I might as well have just drove there and placed the order, and maybe I would have left in less time. I wish I could upload this picture, I would show you the disgusting looking fries they had the audacity to serve. read more

Really good fried chicken and other chicken menu items. Good deals on chicken biscuits for breakfast. A nice charming little place next to 301. It has a drive thru, but its not very heavily trafficked, so it sometimes gets neglected and you'll spend some time waiting. Good deals and friendly staff. read more

Best BLT I've had in Statesboro. Huge portion. Green beans were alright but could have used a little seasoning.

Really good biscuits....really good fried chicken....pretty good burgers...the rest if their menu...ehhh...prices are OK...they've opened a new brooklet restaurant thats supposed to be a barbecue restaurant....ehhh...nowhere as good as others around town read more

This place has gone downhill ! Got fried Gizzards , they were in a pool of grease the batter is not as good as it used to be biscuit hard and dry !‍ read more

Probably the worst place to go in Statesboro for chicken. Thought I would try a chicken biscuit one day and it was completely undercooked. The chicken was still pink and so chewy, it was disgusting. Definitely would never recommend this place to anyone. Chick Fil A is still the best! read more

Best chicken fast food. Tastes homemade and everything's fresh to order. Chicken biscuit deal is the bomb

Love this Place ! They have the best Fried Chicken,Coleslaw and did I mention the Taters! The meals come with a Texas Toast or a biscuit ! Awesome Sweet tea ! I would tell anyone to eat here,my kids love it ! read more

Best fried chicken in town! Awesome sweet tea. This is a locally own fast food joint - with out-of-this-world fried chicken. All chicken is breaded and fried on site with hand mixed ingredients. All side dishes are created on site - no frozen fast food sameness here! Great for eating in, taking home, pinic meals... you won't be sorry! read more

It has been a while since I got a chicken finger plate at uncle shrugs. It used to be quite good, but this time it was horrible. The fingers were tiny scraps drowned in batter ... Maybe an ounce of chicken in the large plate serving. Some pieces were gizzards, not white meat. The green beans are no longer too salty, they had no seasoning at all and tased like they were cooked in dishwater. Terrible meal. Gave most of it to my dogs. Never again.ugh! This place has gone way down hill. read more

Ate here with our nephew who is a student at Georgia Southern. Chicken and tea were good, mac n' cheese was excellent, prices were VERY fair, and service was friendly and quick. All in all, good experience! read more

Beware!!! If you want to be served food that was good 6hrs ago by staff that have horrible attitudes, this is the place for you. Every single time i come here for food it is never hot and fresh accept the one time I asked that it please be cooked fresh. I only asked for it to cooked fresh once because that one time that I did I was met with a frown from the staff and had the drive through window slammed in my face several times through out the transaction. I will say that they have good food just some horrible employees that don't care to make sure that the are serving food that they would eat or providing customer service that is even halfway acceptable. read more
