    If I could give 0 stars I would , I’ve gotten chicken from here on multiple occasions, for events and just for dinner never had a issue. Friday I ordered 30 wings for $48.50 only to have been giving the worst chicken wings I’ve ever had in my life !!! There was NO SEASONING NO FLAVOR AND FEATHERS on the chicken !!!!!!!!! I called the next day and was told the manager would call me NEVER DID! So I went up there the next day the worker called the owner who was very dismissive very rude and over talked me , clearly there money hungry cause don’t nobody be up there !!! I would not eat here they don’t care about there customers save your money and time

    Horrible customer service by the owner. He is a piece of work, don't waste your time or money.

    OMG the absolute BEST chicken. Better than KFC, Popeyes, Browns, or Cluckers hands down. Not expensive at all.

    OPEN SIGN IS DECIEVING. NO COOK IN MORNING. Pointless to go, unless youre going after 2pm or drinking at the bar.

    Best crunchy fried chicken recipe around. Love, Love, Love their chicken. They also have a Fantastic melt-in-your-mouth, Cod fish dinner combo, that from now on, I get my fish dinner 's here. And if dining there, for a small added fee, their dine-in salad bar is small, but so much worth it. It was excellent.

    Went in for food, it's been a while since we've been there. Wanted to eat in the bar area and it smelled like wet, musty/moldy carpet. I think the ice machine is leaking. Awful smell, my husband and I couldn't get past that smell it was so so strong we got a small appetizer and left!! Won't be back there until that's fixed!!

    Very rude older lady behind the counter with short hair. Very bad customer service. You guys should treat your customer's better. Mediocre food, and dirty dishes. Servers looks fresh out of rehab. DO NOT EAT HERE. Only good for slots. Did not like the way my husband and I were treated.

    What a waist of money !!! We drove from Ringwood to get chicken gizzards. We also order a cheeseburger meal and a hot dog meal.... we waited at the drive thru window for over 20 mins after ordering.... as we were waiting I noticed that there was only a couple people inside so I couldn't help but wonder why it was taking so long. You would think that any one of the employees would have popped their head out the window and tell us why it was taking so long.... but no. While we were sitting there the truck that was behind us didnt want to wait any longer and decide to park and go inside to place his order, he literally was in and out in 5 mins... and we were STILL waiting. When we finally did get our order the woman said with a smile sorry it took so long we're busy.. again there was maybe 3-4 people inside...so we grabbed our food and drove away...made it all the way back to ringwood, sat at the table and began to take our food out of the bags and noticed the chicken gizzards were not there...that was the whole reason we drove so far for food.... so I called them to tell them they forgot to put the gizzards in the bag ..the lady on the phone knew what I was calling about before I could even say anything, all she had to sa to me was ...not I'm sorry or how can I make this right...she said "I pulled the receipt, I didnt even charge you for them".....ok so if that's the case can some please explain why it took over 20 mins to get a burger and hot To make matters worse the burger was over cook and burnt the buns were soked with ketchup to the point they were as flat as paper. The hot dog was ice cold and the bun was soked with mustard. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. We couldn't even eat them. Now come the fries.... dry and cold. The sodas had so much ice there was hardly any soda in the cups.....if we lived closer I would have went back and showed them and ask if this is something they would like to eat.. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN if I could less than 1 star I would... I wish I could post pictures too

    First time going. Food was very bland or too salty. Found multiple hairs in my mashed potatoes. Prices online do not reflect what you pay. My bill was supposed to be 30$ it was 40 when I picked up. Do not eat here

    the restaurant is adorable it gives off old town diner . HOWEVER, the food is nasty as hell im so sorry but im not . the lady who serviced me was very kind . but the food .. is nasty . the mac&cheese *looked well seasoned but idk what they put in that ..it tasted like government cheese and noodles i couldnt even chew it . the ribs have NO flavor , not even a lick of seasoning just tough meat in a little sauce . the chicken was not the worst but again coming from someone with seasoned taste buds .. it tasted bland and the fries were brown as hell . idk it looked/ tasted like everything was cooked in the same old grease . My friend who got a 4 pc dinner with fries instantly started feeling sick. the pricing was good though so , if you like bland old tasting food then this may be your spot .

    Come and go over the years. Went tonight it was awesome Tim was friendly and and funny. Food was delicious. Drinks were GREAT. Prices were amazing. Potions HUGE. We did sit at the bar, thank you for making the night better. See you soon.

    The restaurant was clean. There is a full service bar with slot machines and daily drink specials. The menu is diverse. There is also daily food specials. The chicken is made fresh as opposed to sitting under a heat lamp waiting for you. The prices are reasonable, and in my opinion a good value. The staff is friendly. There is also a drive thru. Parking lot has ample room. My order consisted of 8 pieces of cold chicken for $5, and a 1/4 pound of chicken livers. Both chicken and livers were tasty. They also offer catering services. Take out is also available. There is also a salad bar available.

    We ordered chicken wings, ribs, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with onion rings today (50.00). Chicken was delicious! It was fried just right. Not too hard or soft. The ribs were not too saucy and just right. The sandwich was very good, but the only thing I could have done without is the lettuce and tomato. I've never had that on a grilled ham and cheese. It was on Texas toast, so it was fulfilling. The onion rings were tasty, but kind of soggy; due to us living in a different city. We will definitely be back!!

    My family and I stopped by here for the first time today, the owner was the only one working because 2 employees didn’t show! Super friendly environment and he even brought our daughter out an adorable. Let us try his delicious chicken and rice soup! Definitely will be going here again!

  • 5/5 Wendy H. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has amazing food! Prices are comparable with every other restaurant but you get more food here. All cooked to order so I recommend calling ahead to place your order. You can pick up inside or go through the drive-thru. Employees are extremely nice also. They have a large variety of items to choose from. My faves are the zucchini sticks, onion rings, and the rib tip dinner. Yum!

  • 3/5 D G. 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken was fried nicely, good crispiness, but unfortunately, not much flavor.

  • 1/5 A S. 2 years ago on Google
    Heard the food here was great. Tried to check it out today (Monday) around 2pm. They're supposed to be open by 11am from what I can see anywhere online. Couldn't get anybody to answer the phone so we just drove over to check it out. There's an employee clearly here. Place says it's open, but the doors are locked and nobody answered at the drive thru. Frankly, the whole thing was pretty unprofessional and off-putting, to say the least. I can't say I'll be coming back again after this experience. Very disappointing.

  • 5/5 Mary W. 1 year ago on Google
    The chicken and the ribs are the best I've ever had. Me and my family travel just to eat here. Give them a try you won't regret it

  • 5/5 Kristin M. 9 months ago on Google
    We always have a great experience whenever we eat here! The owner even gave both of my children a free stuffed animals on the way out. What a nice touch! We will definitely go back soon! Also, the chicken is fantastic!

  • 5/5 judy c. 8 months ago on Google
    I drove past this place for the last 16 years always meaning to try the chicken. Well today I did and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was delicious, so moist and crispy outside. Yes please. I got a 2 piece meal. Come with 2 sides and a biscuit. It was under 8.00. You just can’t beat that. And they have a drive thru!?! 16 years wasted. Now I know.

  • 1/5 Deja L. 1 year ago on Google
    The chicken was absolutely despicable. Do yourself a favor and don’t eat here.

  • 5/5 Vix R. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite late night bar to frequent in the area. The chicken fingers, dinner, and ribs are scrumptious. The staff are all friendly neighborhood bar keeps that keep the drinks flowing and ensure a safe environment.

  • 3/5 David S. 11 months ago on Google
    I have been a customer of this place since 1976 when I moved to town. They have a breading recipe very close to Richard's chicken, but it's theirs. They also have chicken livers, shrimp, rib tips and a bunch more. Their family owned. They also have an attached bar, out front and a drive through. They have much more food selection than what I mentioned.

  • 3/5 Melissa G. 9 months ago on Google
    I wanted to see what the hype was... had rib tips, they were ok, but not the best I've had.

  • 3/5 R. JOSEPH F. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered for Xmas eve and they were one of the only places open, not regretting my choice. Excellent ribs, thick and meaty, and sides were great including the mashed potatoes. The only thing I'd change is the cole slaw, Id prefer a vinegar based product. I WILL order here again....

  • 5/5 G J. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was amazing! Food delicious and fresh as well but the service was just outstanding! It’s the little things that does it for me. The wonderful gentleman that took our order was very kind and pleasant. He remembered everything we ordered from the night before down to the sauces! And gave me and my daughter a stuffed animal... hahaha. On top of that when our food was ready he brought it out personally to our vehicle. They don’t make em like you anymore keep up the great work!!! Will definitely be back! The catfish, chicken and shrimp is absolutely wonderful. Thank you! 😃
