★★★☆☆ 3.0 brooklyn allday · Feb 2026

don’t get the chicken nuggets. received these…terribly bland. lemonade was great as well as the red beans and rice!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 D Tardy · Apr 2024

First time visit I must say I was pleasantly surprised. You should not buy any more chicken from the gas station or any chain restaurants until you give them a try. They have something going on, and it's good. If you are thinking about a 2 piece, go ahead and get the 3 piece. Thank me later! Only negative you can pass on the Mac n Cheese, they need help with that. Overall 5 Stars!

★★★★★ 5.0 doge the mcdonalds worker · Nov 2025

got some chicken here for a funeral repass, everyone at that repass could agree it was the best chicken in jackson ms, like 20 minutes after it arrived, there was no chicken left, no sides left, it was that good, if you ever step foot in jackson mississippi you should definitely go here to get some fried chicken. 11/10 stars

Cashier needs to cut out the cell phone chatter while customers are trying to order. I wasn't sure if she was talking to me or a person on the phone.

Wish I could give negative stars.I drove across town to visit this place. I arrived at 6:52 pm 1/25/2025 .They had about 8 to 10 pieces of chicken under the heat lamp ,you can tell it been there a while. So I asked can I get my chicken dropped fresh. The lady said no we about to close ,so I told her it's not even 7 yet .Her words was we don't get customers this late and we not about to open up a bag of chicken. It was my wife and I. We wanted a family meal we had our grandkids over .I see why you don't get guests at that time .The key is being consistent. They same dining experience and quality of food should be the same no matter the time of day . I'm a Chef i have been at the same restaurant for 14 years and if I thought one of my employees did this to a guest they will be fired.I gues
