Best fried chicken in the area. Taste better than Kennedy Fried, and it is very clean behind the counter. Some things are pricy, but they do offer specials. I usually get the 4 for $5, which includes 3 pcs of chicken, legs and thigh, and a biscuit. For me, this is enough. Their burgers are also very tasty.

CUSTOMER SERVICE: The guys are very courteous. There was one middle eastern guy who offered me a spoonful of their powered seasoning used for spicey. Its unique, (prior to buying their hot wings), yow it was flavorful and just rite amt of pepper.FOOD: Had their hot wings, waay better than most joints (incl) KFC (even my son like it). Had their promo deal (4 for five - 3 chicken n a biscuit) that was good as well. Not a burger or a hallal guy, so cant comment of that option.VALUE FOR MONEY: Just like the brands in this category, you do get the value. If you ordered THE PREPARED WHILE YOU WAIT, options - you wont be upset. My wings were on point. Ordered 16 option. I live up the block...
