Food is great. Chicken is delicious and tender. Sides were all fantastic. We got the parmesan garlic fries , mac & cheese , and coleslaw . It's a long, long, long wait for your food. All made to order.

Amber Christensen

Love loved it! Did the fav breading and it was definitely a kick! Mac n cheese was super creamy and rich. Fries are great, not greasy and I love the skinny! Excellent experience!!

Bill

This is an excellent place to eat. The jumbo tenders were bigger than advertised. Five different temperature levels. Highly recommend.

Joey Couch

I would recommend the spicy hot chicken strips with the thin fry it makes for an excellent meal along with their Southern style fried chicken quarters is well .

Erik Rowley

I'm not a spicy guy so went with the Ella's Fav dark quarter chicken , phenomenal! The broccoli slaw and mac & cheese are delicious as well .

The chicken is great. The sides are great -- and you get two. The soda is even great, believe me. Joella's is great. If I could think of another word to describe it, that would be great.

Jennifer Prell

My husband and Vegetarian friend love it. I don’t like the chicken much because it cuts my gums up. Extra crispy seems the rule. The sides are really good though and soda selection is great.

Brad

The hot chicken is WAY less spicy than Prince's in Nashville. If you want it that hot you have to go above the Tweener level . Great food but not a replica for Nashville-style hot chicken .

Sarah Wright

Chicken tenders are amazing with the medium level sauce! Probably the best chicken in town ... Potato salad is amazing as well !
