"Coop is a vendor inside the Design District food hall Mia Market. They specialize in various forms of fried chicken, one of the best being their “Lil Hottie” sandwich. It comes with a fried chicken thigh slicked in a hot sauce we’d categorize as “medium.” There are also thick house pickles, coleslaw, and a soft potato bun. It’s just one of those sandwiches you can tell is going to be good just by looking at the menu. And (spoiler alert) it is." - Ryan Pfeffer

Food was excellent. Loved their homemade lemonades as well. Make sure you try all the sauces!

My husband ordered fried chicken sandwich with Cajun onion rings here. He’s very happy with both of the two items. I tried the onion rings which are very delicious, so crunch and strong Cajun flavor. I see this is a very popular spot in the food hall.

I LOVE this place! The fried chicken sandwich is so good and the sauce it comes with is great. The Cajun and truffle fries seal the deal. Their fries are amazing. I highly recommend.

$15.86 for Chick-fil-A, a 20% automatic gratuity that can't be removed, and bad management decisions. You will not be greeted by staff here, as there is a touch-screen to place your order. If you have questions about the food, maybe they expect you to read the surprisingly generous reviews online. Or maybe they expect you to pull up ChatGPT and ask it what it thinks. For this total absence of customer service, they will automatically add a 20% gratuity. I did ask a staff member if that could be removed and they said it could not without a manager, and no manager was working. I asked if they received the tip and they said no, they thought it went to the owners. Wow. The sandwich is essentially a Chick-fil-A. It's easy to see why some restaurants go out of business so quickly. Will not be back.

Delicious chicken sandwiches. Extra crispy and very juicy. Their Truffle Parmesan Fries were amazing. I highly recommend this place if you’re ever in Miami.

We ordered the Florida bird and chicken nuggets. Both were so tender and flavorful. Kids loved it. Try their Cajun fries, so delicious! Unfortunately we didn’t take a photo before eating, but the after photo should say it all!! PS: kids don’t eat tomatoes!

Still dreaming about this meal! Fried chicken BLT with cheese and some of the absolute best truffle Parmesan fries I’ve ever had!! Everything was fresh, crispy, and flavorful. Can’t wait to go back.

Every time I’m remotely in the area I make my way to coop. The chicken is always on point. I love the Cajun chicken nuggets spicy sweet combo and so tender. Staff is always so nice and accommodating. Do yourself a favor eat coop and get some extra sauce to go ;)

Exceptional fried chicken, I had the lil hottie, a basic sandwich on a bun with hot sauce, juicy fried chicken pickles, and cole slaw. My group also ordered chicken nuggets- juicy and delicious and plain fries. All were cooked fresh came out hot and hit the spot. Coop is located in a trendy food court noisy and vibrant great place for lunch in upbeat atmosphere.

5 star food 5 star service 5 star ambience. Really amazing twists on classic fried chicken dishes served with a smile in probably Miami's most glamorous food hall. 5 star food: I grew up in the Deep South so know my fred chicken, and was expecting a sort of hipster version to not be very good. The fried chicken here is off da' charts good, with some sort of alchemy between the breading and the frying that makes it among the best I've ever had. If you get the fried chicken wrap and a Diet Coke, you can tell yourself the minimal bread and sugar makes up for the fried part. 5 star service: The staffers were incredibly nice and even read out all the fine print on the overhead menu since I had forgotten my glasses. The gal behind the counter had a funny conversation with me about her very cool mod 60s head scarf, and the guy who brought the food must have stopped by 4-5 times to be sure if we needed anything. 5 star ambience: I really love MIA Market, the food hall for Miami Design District. They get everything just right, from the variety of the food shops to the whole vibe of the place.

So this place was a bit hard to locate but don't worry as the immediate area it's in is stunning. In the heart of the fashion/design district of Miami lies this high end food court in which 'COOP' can be found. I may not have been able to afford anything else in the district but I surely spent my limited funds wisely when choosing to eat at COOP! The chicken was crispy but not dry and the waffles were soft and sweet. The Parmesan truffle fries were delectable and as is my custom I put hot sauce on everything! High quality meal for economical prices allowed me to coincidentally take in some amazing views while searching the district for this location. The service was excellent as well, 10/10 would recommend.

This place is located in the MIA Market food hall, in the Miami design district. I went into this area for the first time today. I was hungry and thought I'd check out this food hall. I saw that all vendors here are Chef driven. I chose to go with Cajun fries from this place and other stuff from another place. These should be the one of the best fries I have ever eaten. The fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are seasoned generously. The service is good and the ambiance of this food hall is great as well. Highly recommend this place, I also heard that their fried chicken is very good!!

There are many great food options in this food hall and this is for sure one of them. Located in the design district mall so you can either park in their garage (which i highly recommend sue to how close it is) or street parking by the parking app. It's located on the second floor of the mall towards the right side when you walk in. There is tons of seating options all over the food hall. The ambiance is overall an upscale food court as it is a food hall. The employees here are very helpful and always enthusiastic about what they're doing. The sandwiches are all pretty bomb. I've tried the chicken BLT and the florida bird which is fried chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickles, provolone on a martins roll and it always hits the spot. Their fried chicken is overall very good and flavorful. Chicken and waffles is good but the waffles are pretty whatever. I've also tried the chicken wrap which is also very delicious.

Considering the location and how much I had to go through to get to the store this place just didn't do it for me. The chicken was average and my salad wasn't much for the price. I feel like I got a small side order of leaves as a garnish to my chicken breast. I ordered the chicken salad and it was just more chicken breast with sprinkles of a salad. It's Just not hitting the Mark for me. Don't think I will revisit.

Crunchy and moist..... need I say more. This is one of the best fried chicken you'll find in town. Located in beautiful MIA Market in the Design District you really cant go wrong with this southern bird! My husband I tried their signature fried chicken and chicken and waffles. Perfection!! Portions are decent, they will definitely leave you you full. My only complaint is that it's a little pricey for what it is.

Yelp
This place has potential however 3 chicken sandwiches and 3 fries should never cost anyone $80. Especially when you use basic buns {not brioche} and Tabasco for your spice. I will say the chicken tasted great and fresh but y'all really have to work on pricing. It may very well be the price you pay for being in the design district with obnoxious $$ leases but with a lot of foot traffic, you don't need to triple charge us for a small chicken sandwich. Fries were good, not amazing and def not worth $8 or $9. The house made ranch was also delicious. All in all, I'd only come back if I'm in the area and there's nothing better to eat. I'll stick to basic chicken sandwiches that cost $5-6 where parking is free. **the gentleman at the counter who took our order was lovely and patient with us - customer service was solid!**

We normally love food halls which is why we stopped by this one. We were let down though. We got the Lil Hottie and it was just not that great. The chicken was a little dry. The sauce tasted like an average buffalo sauce. There just really wasn't much special about it. The spicy ranch served on the side was the best part. I wish they put it on the sandwich because I didn't realize it was there until I was almost done with my sandwich. It's also kind of pricy considering how small the sandwich is and it doesn't come with a side. Overall, I wouldn't bother stopping at this food hall. There are better places to go in Miami.

Mediocre chicken sandwich. Great onion rings. Fast service. I keep a spreadsheet of fried chicken sandwiches. As a Bay Area Native I have a lot of exposure to great chicken sammie options and I would say the lil hottie doesn't even rank above a Popeye's which is my standard for a basic. It seems like they use a little breast piece for the sandwich - so the chicken is pretty dry and ratio wise a small portion of the sandwich. Their hotsauce is something like Tobasco- Acidic in profile. The flavor of the buns is nice and sweet but overall the sandwich lacks the crispy/juicy balance (more mushy) and the hot/cold balance - I ate it on the spot and it was lukewarm all around. The onion rings however were hot and ultra crispy- and it's nice that it comes as a little serving. Given that it's in a food court, I would venture elsewhere if a group chose to eat here.

Ambiance: I loved this indoor market, full of many different options. I chose COOP for its fried chicken nuggets and also added the secret sauce . Staff was super cool, kind, friendly. Food: I recommend the nuggets! But then when has frying something ever gone wrong?

This is in the food hall in the Design District. There are a ton of good options in here, and this is definitely one of them. These aren't your average chicken nuggets; the seasoning is unique and really good. There's almost something sweet to them thats hard to describe. Big portions and the nuggets are super crispy. The Cajun fries were good too. Definitely a bit of a kick to them

Food was good, just a bit of a wait, but it was lunchtime. The customer service was awesome. I don't know his name, but the cashier and his wife were both very welcoming and genuine. I would definitely eat there again.

I absolutely love the food here. I stopped in earlier today and ordered the chicken sandwich and pink lemonade. The pink lemonade was literally the best I've ever had! The chicken sandwich was delicious and tasted as though it was made with Tabasco sauce but it wasn't too spicy. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for an amazing meal in Miami!

Cristian G.

Yelp
I'm upset with myself that I had not tried this place sooner as many times as I've been in the Design district food court. The menu might may seem filled with regular chicken dishes. But don't be mistake don't dishes pack a punch of flavor. I tried the Lil' Hottie sandwich and the chicken wrap. Both absolutely delicious, however if I had to choose I would go with the hottie as I like a kick in my meals. One of the best chicken sandwiches/wraps I've ever had. I cannot wait to be back!!

I am unfamiliar with Miami so I used Yelp to direct be to a chicken sandwich restaurant. I picked COOP but couldn't find it. Turns out it's in a small food court on the second floor of an outdoor luxury shopping area. My sandwich was fresh and tasted incredible. Highly recommend.

Gilda B.

Yelp
I honestly did not like their food. The hottie was nothing but a small piece of dry, breaded chicken tucked between two slices of cheap Martin's potato bread bun, with a bunch of jar pickle slices and jar hot sauce. For that they charge $13, plus they add 15% tip to your bill. All the guy did was bring the tray of food to the table. I had to go get my own water, napkins, etc. All the other food stands at Mia were over priced. Then again it's the Design District where people go to pretend they are rich. I walked there because I live down the street, on 38th and didn't feel like driving, but never again,

I had planned this as one of our food stops. When we got to the address, it was kind of hard to find. Even asking the security guards didn't really help. Finally found it inside the market. We ordered to go since we were on our way to the airport. Between the four of us, we had the chicken nuggets, chicken wrap, chicken sandwiches and fries. Food was pretty good and the sauce that came with it was as well. Overall, pretty good chicken.

Coop is located inside of the newly renamed MIA Market. I tried out the fried chicken sandwich as this is usually a good gauge for a chicken place. The chicken was delicious and crispy without being greasy. The pickles on it were good, and I'm all about good pickles! It was a bit small, and the bun was just a basic potato bun. It also doesn't come with a side, so the price is a bit steep. It is the Design District though. You can buy sauces for .50 each, but it was tasty without one. For a sandwich and fries it was about $20.

Alex L.

Yelp
I am so obsessed with the lil hottie chicken sandwich here!! I have been dreaming about it ever since! What's great is it packs the heat but isn't too too spicy. Everyone wanted a bite of it and I wasn't too excited to share! The sandwich came with some awesome thick pickle and cold coleslaw to cool down the spice of the sandwich. I got extra pickles on the side which is the move! They have a great menu too but if you are in the mood for a great spicy chicken sandwich this is the place to go!

Delicious chicken sandwiches. Extra crispy and very juicy. Their Truffle Parmesan was amazing. I highly recommend this place if you're ever in Miami.

Mani M.

Yelp
Located inside of the Mia Market at the Design District Coop definitely offers the best chicken sandwiches in town. The little hottie is a staple of their menu but they offer much more. If you happen to come across their lobster roll, it is definitely worth ordering. The lobster is mixed with the right amount of sauce which is not over powering the flavors. The tanginess of the lemon really brings out all of the flavors. However the lobster is not just about the lobster, the roll it is served in is dense, soft and absolutely delicious. If you are in the area you need to check this place out!

I've been working in the area for months now and this place is so inconsistent. Sometimes the service and food is great and sometimes it is just not good. This is the last time I have an inconsistent experience. Won't go back.

Coop is worth like a solid 3.5. Good food, love the subtle mixes of ingredients that you don't expect which actually make the plate a whole lot more delicious! Giving it a 4, because the staff was really nice and to be honest, it was one of the better places at st. Roch if ya ask me. Positives: great fried chicken! The breading is not too much and it's very flavorful and crisp. Their guava bbq sauce is DELICIOUS, prob one of my fav things they had. They also make their own ranch dressing which is also pretty tasty! Only issue are the prices, it's a bit too high and just on an entree and app you're near $30 for one persons lunch... at a food court. Not sure if prices are that high because of the location/rent, but food just didn't seem to be worth thaaaaat much. Also had the pulled pork sandwich, nothing special and pulled pork was a bit dry, guava bbq really saved it. Not sure why they put corn up in there... can't really taste something like corn in a pulled pork sandwich because the bbq and meat is too overpowering.

Let me preface, I consider myself a fried chicken connoisseur. Coop knows the product well, treats it properly and does the most deliciously respectful Chicken n Waffles I've ever had the pleasure to taste. Purveyor, Maria, is very proud of her chicken; brined for 26 hours, it fries up crispy, juicy and delightfully toothsome. I know better than to ask a Chef for the batter recipe. And, in my experience, the biggest fail in most chicken and waffles is the waffle. Not here! Crispy, fluffy, flaky with a hint of cheddar n chive. The balance is perfect, neither the chicken nor the waffles upstage the other - ideally paired and complimentary! I AM GOING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN! Notably, I forgot to take pictures because I was too excited to eat! Coop is located at the Miami Design District in the St. Roch marketplace. A clean, decorated space with multiple food vendors, but Coop far exceeds the crowd. Go to your right when you enter and straight back. You can't miss Maria smiling at her space with her Chicken sculpture and happily serving the best chicken and waffles anywhere! My dining companion has the crispy chicken sandwich, she was equally impressed with the food experience at Coop! Went back for brunch. Not a fluke, absolute consistency. Perfectly crispy, flaky biscuits. And, fan-f@*%ing-tabulous Chicken n Waffles (see photo)!

I'm relatively easy to please when it comes to brunch, either with eggs benny or chicken & waffles. Spicy foods also make my belly happy. So when I heard Coop opened in the St. Roch market in Design District I made brunch plans. As with most food halls (and 80s/90s mall food courts) the menu is limited to their specialty and some drinks. I needed coffee as well, which they didn't have. However, the employee simplified my plans by pointing out where the coffee stand was. My brunch consisted of a decently sized waffle with a cup of sweet simple syrup and piece of lightly breaded chicken breast garnished with pickled onions. This seasoning balanced nicely balanced the heat of the pepper jelly, giving it a hint of sweet. When I went Sunday midmorning, there were plenty of seats available indoors as well as in the pet friendly terrace. I plan to come back sometime and try a few more of their dishes.

Beryl D.

Yelp
Delicious!!! The garlic fries are the best I've ever had. The chicken and waffles are good, but I wish I had known they'd come topped with the syrup. I'm one who doesn't like to mix savory and sweet and prefers them to be kept separate. Other than this, I truly enjoyed. The staff was super friendly and nice also. I highly recommend!

Juju R.

Yelp
Hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life! The breading is consistent throughout and the chicken used is clearly high quality as evidence by the leanness and multiple striations throughout the meat. Even the pickles had the perfect amount of crunch and tangy which compliments the chicken. I ordered the lil hottie which was served on a fluffy sweet bun. The coleslaw hands down hits!! the truffle Parmesan fries where cooked to perfection and of course I couldn't resist an order of their waffles for desert. I drove over an hour to the Miami Market to give Coop a shot and I'm sure I past hundreds if not thousands of chicken sandwich shops and my god Coop hits harder than any other spot I've been too. Locations is prime too being part of the Miami Market in the Design District. I would continue to support such a great restaurant and would bring all my friends and family to Coop 100%.

At Politan Row, I have never tried Coop like ever ! I was so excited to try them because I had a big craving for chicken and waffles. The food will speak for itself. It honestly just melts in your mouth. I'm so happy and will be coming back for more.

Kat K.

Yelp
I'm a sucker for wedge salads/homemade dressings, so we stopped here. Salad was pretty tasty, there was no egg which is unusual but I really enjoyed it. One of the employees warned us about the spiciness level of their spicy chicken sandwich but that's probably just something you have to say when you're serving a billion people every day. It was mildly spicy, and had some good mouthfeel.

Daniela L.

Yelp
Warm, fluffy, syrup drizzled waffles with juicy, crispy, and tender chicken makes the BEST dish by far at Coop. If you come to St Roch, you cannot skip this home bodied comfy food!!! Definitely a highlight and completely different from the all the other choices offered at the St. Roch. Have been back and always will! :9

Great chicken sandwich, with a homemade creamy dill sauce that was excellent! Great location and super friendly staff. If you are in Miami you have to make this one of you stops.

Kim L.

I came here when they first opened and had it again today. I have to say that the consistency of quality and taste is always on point. I always get their chicken and waffles. Most places make their waffles with unseasoned batter. Coop, however, seasons it perfectly to balance the perfectly cooked fried chicken. The syrup isn't overly sweet and if you like your chicken with hot sauce... ask for some on the side to had a kick of flavor with your meal. I also ordered the lil hottie and it was tasty. It's a bit on the spicier side but the pickled cabbage complements it pretty well along with the sauce. It's conveniently located inside St. Roch Market and complimentary water is available on the side close to the restrooms.

Gustavo M.

Great example of chef driven menu. I had the fried chicken and biscuit and it was GLORIOUS! Excellent presentation. The fried chicken tacos were Excellent as well! Great place and great service!

Coop is located inside of St. Roch Market food court. I actually came here to try the food next door, but saw someone with wings ordered from Coop and KNEW I just HAD to try them. Here's why: From the start, super friendly staff (John), which turned out to be a pair of brothers, who in turn are the owners! Very polite and explained all my questions patiently and in detail. I ordered, of course, the fried chicken wings, which it turns out are a special they were trying out, and due to popular demand, will now be on their regular menu here at St. Roch Market. What initially caused me to order them was that I absolutely LOVE chicken wings and when I saw another customer order these, the presentation was so lovely: the colors of the golden brown breading on the wings tossed in their special sauce and a light sprinkling of chives, presented on a rustic wooden board...it was a thing of beauty that enticed me over to their counter! I paid about $12 for the stack of wings and a drink, which is not bad at all for the amount of wings I received (I actually lost count, sorry). It's also well priced when you consider how overpriced the other food is in this food court, so I was happy. From the first bite, I knew I was going to be ecstatic with my meal! The breading was so light, but just right, so it's not like some breaded wings where it's just too much. The chicken wasn't over or undercooked, tender and juicy, and then the sauce suddenly sparks and is like, "hey, I'm here!" without overpowering the flavors and finishing off to a perfect medley combination of flavors...umami! Each wing was just as good as the last! When I finished the plate, I was full, but actually considering gorging myself one more time just because of how good it was...until I realized all the healthy looking people around me and shamefully decided against it. This first taste actually has me curious how the rest of the menu fares. If there's as much love out into the rest if the menu as there is with the fried chicken wings, LOOK OUT because I may have found a new favorite spot!

Grabbed some food at COOP on a Thursday evening. I ordered the Deviled Eggs, Buttermilk Biscuit, and the "Lil Hottie" Chicken Sandwich. Quality COOP definitely seems a little out of place in the St. Roch Market. In a food hall dominated by healthy and trendy cuisine, Southern barbecue is a major departure. But as someone a little less concerned with calories and a little more concerned with taste, COOP sounded like a great option for an early dinner. I started by meal with the Deviled Eggs. And it was a rough start because they just were nothing special. A little dried out and a poor use of bacon bits I would avoid this dish. I was much happier with my next item, the Buttermilk Biscuit. It was very fresh and came with a nice spread of bacon butter. But the best item I tried, was the "Lil Hottie" Chicken Sandwich. Fried chicken slathered in a buffalo-style sauce, covered in cilantro slaw, homemade pickles, and served on a soft bun, it was a very good chicken sandwich. It came with a side of fresh baked barbecue chips and a delightful sauce. Overall, a decent sandwich, but one that did not justify its cost. Quantity The portions were all on the small side. The Deviled Eggs come with four half slices, the Buttermilk Biscuit was not very substantial, and the Chicken Sandwich, while tasty, only took a few bites to devour. Value My biggest issue with Coop was the prices. The set of four small Deviled Eggs was $9, and a few bacon bits did not help me stomach the cost. Meanwhile, the "Lil Hottie" Chicken Sandwich at $13 was also way to high considering the size. Realistically, I can't imagine people regularly paying those prices even though the food itself is decent. Ambiance COOP is located in the beautiful St. Roch Market, which sits in the Palm Court of the Design District. It is one of the dozen or so stands that makes up this trendy food hall. I believe the market requires each stand to keep things toned down, as such the individual stations have very little personality. The menus, color scheme, and simple design, make it hard to differentiate from its contemporaries. And while the sterile and modern style works well for some of the places, I think it diminishes the interest in such a personality driven cuisine such as barbecue. Once you order you can grab a seat anywhere in the food hall and they will bring the food over to you. So lots of high-tops are available as well as a few standard tables outside. The music playing across the hall was a mix of tropical and deep house. Great for a bar, less perfect for an early dinner. Crowd The market was busy, but far from packed on Thursday evening. However, it was clear that some of the stands had already garnered a healthy following. Meanwhile COOP, one of the higher calorie options, did not seem to be a very popular choice. I was one of only two or three people that stopped in during my visit. Service The cashier was friendly and despite being a small operation, the food came out quick. I also appreciated that they came over to check on me halfway through the meal. This personal service definitely sets them apart from other stands in the food hall. Parking With the opening of several garages in the Design District, parking is very easy. There is also the option to valet and at only $5 it is a relatively affordable choice. Extra The food at COOP is good, but it is the high cost that makes it impossible to justify. It is just not a great situation when you are presented with a $13 chicken sandwich, which won't even suffice as a full meal. Unfortunately, I just don't see myself returning to this spot.

Last month I went to the Yellow Green Farmer's Market in Hollywood and had easily one of the best fried chicken and waffles dish in my life from a small shop called Barn Bites. I found out that the same owners and staff behind Barn Bites opened a new location here in the St. Roch Market in Miami Design District. I was really excited and went during opening week. I went with my cousins and I raved to them about how good the food was going to be. Robert took care of us from start to finish. He took the time to explain their menu and talk a little about their business. When our food was ready, he delivered the food to our table and he even gave us deviled eggs appetizer on the house. We ordered the fried chicken and waffles and it was just as amazing as I remembered it to be (Why wouldn't it be!) Chicken had perfect crispy crunchy skin and juicy tender meat on the inside. The waffles were chive and cheddar flavored and so good. My cousins loved the food and told me I did not disappoint with my hype for their fried chicken and waffles. With the menu based and surrounding (rightfully so) on their fried chicken, I do not think you can go wrong with what you order. The flavors are on point and they just know how to make a delicious piece of fried chicken. The only downside is the prices are expensive for how much food you get. I will still gladly come back because I appreciate local small businesses, like Coop, especially those that make great food while providing great service.

Meh, the fried chicken was pre-made and sitting in the warmer on the counter. I should have turned away when I saw that but didn't because of the positive reviews on yelp. It was warm, not surprisingly. Won't be back.

Coop is located in the St.Roch market in hip part of town, the design district nestled in between all bourgeois stores and above Estefan kitchen. It definitely has a market/ slash cafeteria feel to it. Theres about 12 different vendors and the best part a bar smack dab in the middle of all of it. Kind if like a boozy mall food court. So even though I browsed through all the food options, I was really only there to try Coop. I was mesmerized by the photos I saw on IG. Everything at St. Roch market is a tad pricey. I ordered the chicken biscuit at $13 bux which I thought was a lil cray until I got my platter and saw not but Chicken biscuit sandwiches. What you get is a very crispy not fluffy biscuit. Unfortunately none of the vendors at the market have a full size kitchen so most of the food is going to suffer a bit because you may not necessarily get the freshest food. But a very tasty biscuit on a crispy fried chicken thigh with red onions pickle and and a side of a pepper jelly. The jelly is more honey like in consistency than what you think of when you hear "jelly". A very solid fresh juicy chicken thigh. Very flavorful definitely not Yardbird quality. However, I was very pleased with my meal and would definitely go back to try some of the other offerings on the menu. St. Roch market is a definite must not just for Coop but the overall experience.

I'll start by saying that this chicken is absolutely amazing. It beats Chick-fil-a all day long. I highly recommend stopping here and getting some chicken and some truffle fries! You won't be disappointed.

This is for the stand inside the food hall in the design district mall :) (next to the bubble). I had a really amazing plate of mini waffles and spicy fried chicken and the always tasty glass bottle Mexican Coke. Their service was quick despite the brunch/lunch crowd and the staff were really nice. I'd love to try more on the food hall stand menu and from their larger location :)

Best Fried chicken ever. There is no words to describe their chicken and waffles let alone everything else on the menu is fantastic. I recommend the chicken and waffles but you cannot go wrong with everything else as well

The Little Hottie is amazing. This is the best chicken restaurant I've ever went to. I'm afraid of becoming addicted.

Not the best. Ordered lemonade with mint, which was refreshing but slightly overpriced at $4 each. Continued with a watermelon salad, which lacked in, guess what, watermelon. A big pile of arugula in an overly acidic dressing, four pieces of grilled, sand textured cheese and a few pieces of watermelon. The chicken and waffles were overpriced, and even though the dish was not terribly good, some issues were evident. The waffle was crunchy on the outside, but tasted of nothing and was served at room temperature. The fried chicken was clearly reheated, which resulted in a dry piece of bird. To make matters worse, it was mostly saltless. Go somewhere else.
