Absolutely a must stop for barbecue chicken. Food is fantastic, service friendly, atmosphere great. If you are in the area you MUST stop and try this place.

Thought I'd give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. THE best chicken I've ever had was so good had to come back the next weekend chicken was super moist with a great smoked flavor. So good they don't hide the flavor by slopping bar b que sauce all over it. I had to buy a jar of their seasoning now I find yself putting it on everything. The place is not fancy by any means they're definitely doing something right because they sell out Everytime. Big 2 thumbs up to Dan and his staff. Keep up the good work and I hope to see ya soon 😊

$ Pricey $ $36 for two Chicken dinners. I hope you like waiting in line. I can make a very close dinner myself for a lot less money. Buy a beer can chicken cooker, some bucks seasoning and a bag of salt potatoes. Additionally, I don't care for the clientele that hangs out there. I don't go there anymore. Exactly for the above mentioned reasons.

Not quite a 5 ⭐ place but a solid 4.5 stars. It definitely has the vibe and customers to justify it's popularity. The flavor of the food is there but I wish they made some of the items less salty. I get that Salt Potatoes (it's in the name) and the Bird (seasoning) have to be that way and they are tasty, but there's no reason for a 10oz of giblet stew to have twice your daily salt intake. Very good place overall.

We come every Sunday for the best chicken around 😋 One of the best thing about here (besides the ppl) is the chipmunks that chill right outside the bar. Dan also has his own seasoning for purchase!
