    THE CHICKEN IS WORTH THE DRIVE!! I learned about "WHY NOT CHICKEN" from a family member and thought I would give it a try. Tonight was my first time visiting the establish so I was not sure what to expect. The staff members were friendly but the service was little slow I felt, despite the dining area being quite empty for a Friday night (see image). I highly recommend the rotisserie chicken! Quite surprised/ impressed by the flavor, as well as juiciness of the meat. I sampled 3 of the veggie offerings --- the mashed potatoes where lumpy with small bits of potato skins, (not instant) and the Mac & Cheese was creamy good. I will be honest- not a fan of the green beans tonight, not cooked enough for my liking, "waxy" to chew. Sandwiches and wraps available for lighter , smaller portion meals as well. Why not give WHY NOT CHICKEN a try.

    Had to stop in and try the Why Not Chicken Salad and it was delicious! A friend had the pulled chicken sandwich and commented the smaller portion of fries vs. previous visit. Was a bit concerning how light lunch crowd was, but chalked it up our visit being earlier in the week. If crunched for time, pre-order and pick up at their drive thru window.

    New restaurant, but the owner/manager has owned others. Very friendly service and a good variety of items and sides. Delish!

    Best red velvet cookies around. Delicious warm. A little pricey but well worth it. I will buy them again.

    Slappy's was a really solid fried chicken spot, and I'm giving it 4 stars because there was a lot…read moreto like, but I think it has room to become a 5 star experience. The chicken itself was excellent. It was incredibly juicy, perfectly fried, and had a great crispy coating. My only issue was that the breading felt like it was missing a little something, maybe more seasoning, pepper, or some extra flavor. Growing up with places like Gus's Fried Chicken in Memphis and Nashville hot chicken, I think I naturally expect a little more punch from the chicken itself. The sauce they serve is more of a barbecue style sauce, and while it worked, I personally didn't love it enough for it to carry all the flavor. The sides were a mixed bag. The collard greens were really good and definitely one of the highlights. The coleslaw, though, was way too pepper heavy for my taste. Also, the piece of bread that comes with the meal was honestly not worth the calories. I'd rather see them either upgrade the bread or skip it altogether. One unexpected highlight was the pebble ice from the drink machine. Small detail, but it was awesome and definitely appreciated. Overall, I'd come back and try some different sides because the chicken itself is worth returning for. With a little more seasoning or some different sauce options, I could see this being a 5 star spot.

    Made what will probably be my last visit here. Chicken wasn't piping hot - not like it used to be…read morewith steam rolling out of it. Chicken is still good - chicken is actually still great. But the sides here suck. No fries - never has been. Cheese it Mac n cheese is just not aging well after 9 years. Coleslaw here is the absolute worst - like missing sugar to cut cabbage taste - it's been bad for a while. Potato salad is just mush - I would rather have grocery store potato salad. They have beans and collards - they are fine - but not what I want. Spend $21 for upper tray with a Cheerwine and tip and you want to feel excited. I just ate the chicken - took 2 bites of the sides - ate the roll and pitched the tray. Coleslaw and potato salad is a personal choice - so could just be me. I hate them. My table was split on coleslaw - mostly plain cabbage. Everyone agreed on potato salad - maybe old? Maybe recipe - maybe who made it yesterday. Been a diehard since beginning - over it. Not worth $21 for just me if I don't love it.

    Hangry Joe's was a solid stop for a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. I found the chicken to be…read morereally crispy, and the customizable spice levels meant that everyone could get their own version of a kick when they eat it. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the medium heat level. I personally didn't find it overly spicy, so it's a good choice if you enjoy some heat without it becoming overwhelming. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and made for a satisfying sandwich. The fries were just as nice and crispy, and their hangry sauce (rich, buttery, a hint of vinegar and pepper) paired well with my sandwich and fries. One thing I appreciated was how quickly the food came out. Even during a busy time, the service was efficient, making it an easy place to stop when you're looking for a quick meal.

    I have to start with what the guy at the counter "Sean" asked me before I ordered: "Are you…read moreplanning on working out after this?" I laughed and said, "After I eat the sandwich?" He just smiled. At the time, I had no clue what he meant...until I watched them making my Spicy Soy Garlic Sando. That's when it hit me. This thing wasn't a sandwich--it was a full-body workout disguised as lunch! It was HUGE! Thick, fresh, juicy chicken with an incredible spicy soy garlic flavor that had just the right amount of heat. Every bite was crispy, messy, and absolutely worth it. And those waffle fries? Perfectly seasoned, hot, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. Big shoutout to Sean, the assistant manager, for being professional and genuinely friendly. He came by to check on me and made sure everything was good, which says a lot about the customer service. The restaurant was also spotless, spacious, and had a great atmosphere. If you're hungry, don't come here playing around. Come with an appetite...and maybe stretch beforehand because that sandwich is no joke! I'll definitely be back.
