Even before today's topsy-turvy and confusing world of the 2020-21-22 pandemic, indoor-outdoor, drive-thru, to mask or not to mask ("that is the question")....the state of our reviews appear to have been foreseen (in a sense) by Shakespeare, "Men judge by the complexion of the sky The state and inclination of the day." (King Richard, II Act III, Scene II)
And so begins this particular review....on a bright, sunny afternoon when I was in search of fuel for both my automobile and my body.
I've frequently bypassed the Shell station (in which this "kitchen" is housed) inasmuch as it is often crowded...I assume by patrons of the Loveless Cafe next door. But on this day, the pumps were all open, save for one, and so I stopped. After pumping, I decided to check the inside and was immediately drawn to one of the day's "special"....Natchez Hot Chicken Sandwich.
In short, the sandwich was made-to-order; a large (5 or 6 oz?) lightly floured and well seasoned chicken breast, deep fried and served on a soft, fresh bun. It was garnished with mild, run-of-the-mill coleslaw and 3 slices of dill pickle. The flavor was savory, mildly hot (not over the top Nashville style). The light dusted coating of flour was almost over-fried (see my photo)....but was really just right for my tastes. Unfortunately that level of "fry" left resulted in the chicken being a bit dry, yet, it still held a modicum of moisture and was not chewy. All-in-all, I really enjoyed it. (I was hungry after all.)
I will try to stop here again to check out the biscuits...having had the Cafe's many times. Just curious how they all stack up. Other offerings are available throughout the day and a drive-thru provides convenient no-contact pick-up.
