Fryer's Roadside

I have been meaning to eat at Friars roadside for sometime now and have the opportunity to just recently and I was not disappointed! I ordered the original chicken sandwich. It was huge! It was juicy! It was perfectly crunchy and well seasoned. I ate outside. They have a cute outdoor eating area. They also sell barbecue and I’ll have to try it next time. My bar for barbecue is very high, but the on-site smoker gave me hope and I’m always looking for a good barbecue spot.

Wow, just wow. Perhaps my reviews tend to be too exaggerated, over-the-top, or unbelievable; perhaps. But in this case, this place, Fryer’s Roadside x Money Muscle BBQ is the real deal. The hardworking staff have clearly poured their heart & soul into making this operation a success. And they’re knocking it outta the park. They clearly have a solid reputation based on the constant flow of people whenever I visit. But also the consistent quality of food. So now for my food review. Both the beef brisket & pulled pork: flavor-explosion, luscious, moist, mouthwatering, especially love their choice to dress both sandwiches with tangy mustard & pickles. The chicken sandwich: tender breast meets a satisfying crunch of a well-battered preparation, obviously also mouthwatering. Now for the sidekicks; the skillet cornbread: like eating fresh corn-on-the-cob in bread form; irresistible, so don’t fill-up on this! The baked beans: homemade experience and love the addition of diced, green pepper. The collard greens: an essential component of the overall meal, so add these to your order! And so, after reading this review, or even if you were just curious, now you really must go to Fryer’s Roadside. And I forgot, don’t forget the shakes!

Do yourself a favor and stop by here!! We ended up driving by on the way to DC and I haven't had food this good in a while! The last bbq place we ate at last week was a disappointment and FRYERSSS!! Fryers is so good! Worth every penny! The fries were so fresh and crispy and crunchy on the outside and slightly soft in the middle. Not dry or over done. The Sliced Texas Brisket was so damn good! Lots of flavor and super tender with a rim of charred crispiness on the top! The sauce (Kansas City) went really well with the brisket. The Chopped Texas Brisket Sandwich was so good! The bread alone was fresh and so soft and warm. The brisket, again, you can't miss with that. The pickle added to the flavor and the crunch set it off. The Pulled Pork Pizza was delicious! I'm used to "traditional" pizzas and don't normally pick meats outside of the typical pepperoni or sausage and the Pulled Pork looked so good I had to give it a try. You can't lose at $5 a slice. They even heat it to perfection with the singed bits on the crust. It was so warm and soft and brittle. The pulled pork on it was crumbly and very flavorful! The atmosphere is pleasing. I'm from the country south so to sit outside and hear the cars going by in the distance felt like home. You could smell the smokey meats and it had an outback, bbq, cookout feel to it. Lots of space and plenty of seats. The price is what wrapped it all up!! You won't regret spending funds here and tipping was well worth it. The staff brought our food to us and were extremely polite and helpful! Don't miss out! We'll be back. I couldn't even get a full picture of the pizza we already started eating it lol

First time visiting this restaurant wasn’t bad. My fiancé got chicken tenders and loved them. We loved the fries. I was just disappointed in the fried chicken. The chicken tasted good.. but the breading was hard and it just fell or peeled off, and kinda tasted like fish. I’m going to visit here again with the hopes of trying something that I can give 5 stars for.

Love the food and dining area. Typically get pizza, fried chicken Caesar salad, brisket sandwich, shakes. All of it is so good! And VERY glad they switched back to the creamy salad dressing.

I could give them cero! Ordered 1/2 chicken and is undercooked! How is this possible? Literally you just pulled out when you saw brown on the crust but the inside was not cooked! Of course it won’t cook because chicken tight and drumsticks are together you need to cut them in pieces! It wont fried such a big piece. Same for the breast part. Is attached to the wings! Ugh! So annoyed! Waste of money! Go to Popeyes. At least you wont get sick for undercooked chicken.

The food is generally very good. We did try the quarter chicken on two separate occasions and it was overly well done. The pizza, cornbread, and brisket however is excellent! The Brussels sprouts are also delicious!

Last time I reviewed here it was a Chicken Shack enjoyed. No I think a couple months later they revamped it and started doing more meats. WOW. So I ordered Potato Wedges (kinda sad the regular fries aren’t there) But it makes sense perfectly cook with a nice season of old bay Hawaiian Rolls nice a soft Sliced Texas Brisket this was the first time order Brisket in general and I really enjoyed it. (I can’t compare it to anything else) not two chew nice a seasoned great color as well Carolina Pulled Pork I had other PP that makes me feel heavy after but this made me feel GREAT all around great taste This. Last time I tried the Mac and Cheese (when it was solely a chicken place, also old owner I think). it was disgusting no flavor pretty much out a box from the shape of the elbows (small) BUT THIS. You can tell they actually cared about it, it taste like my aunts Mac and Cheese when they come over for christmas. nice and creamy but not too creamy fully cooked Pasta And it looks like they used a higher quality ones with nice bread crumbs. and the BBQ sauce I used was Kansas City BBQ Im not a huge fan of BBQ cause at times its too over powering but this was nice( also I asked for it on the side) Parking is great, clean space inside, you cant eat inside but I think around the side they have. Nice place to sit, Price is fair the quality food you are receiving is a good price My family enjoyed and I will be coming back🙏🏽 @yoooeeli

Love this place. Got pulled pork and a PB milkshake. My friend got fried chicken and said it was epic. Feels like a downhome road side joint. Picnic tables outside and really good comfort food

So I reviewed this Fryer's right after it opened the first time, but it looks like they removed all those reviews (because they weren't that great) when they coupled with Money Muscle. I really wanted to love this place. It's not as good as it could be. I'll save another food review for next time, though we came in an hour before closing for a sundae. There's no seating inside, though there's a bench for people to wait for their food and it was packed. I used the screen to order and then waited around for it. While my order didn't take very long, seemed like a lot of other people were waiting for their food. One of the aggravating things was that the servers would bring food over and place it on the take out shelf without calling out a name/number, so then the people inside would walk over to see if it was theirs. Okay. So I got the snickers sundae and I selected chocolate ice cream. I didn't get chocolate ice cream. I watched the server making this (thinking it wasn't mine) and it was clear that she only read the instructions on what went in the sundae, so she didn't see that I had selected chocolate for my order. While I love soft serve, the sauces weren't anything special, straight out of a tube. There was a fair amount of snickers, I'll give them that. With the chaos of the store, it's not like I was dying to stay in there and have them remake a sundae. All in all, not enthusiastic to try this place again.

We had the 1/2 chicken, greens, mac & cheese, and brussels sprouts, and they all were tasty. As I was waiting, I even had their vanilla custard, and that was good as well. I just wish that I had added some toppings. The chicken was nice and crunchy. The mac & cheese was tasty, but brussels sprouts was a bit spicy but tolerable. Overall, some great food! We will be back for more!

Went here after work, wanted some chicken. Found this spot on Yelp. Ordered Fried 1/2 chicken white, a bit dry but tasty. 1/3 ribs really good, Mac n cheese was tasty, greens were super tart not sure if they put vinegar in them or what. I added some sugar to try to tone the tartness down, didn't work, had to throw away ‍. Also ordered vanilla milkshake was Good. Will definitely go back just won't order the greens. Oh service was friendly and fast!!

This place is awesome! Fantastic BBQ options, large portions, and tasty ice cream. Came with a group of 12 and we all ordered different things that were enjoyed by all. The brisket sandwich is a star. We really enjoyed the different milkshakes as well. I only wish the chicken tenders had a little more seasoning, but I'm nitpicking...

The spicy dark fried chicken was really good, I'd give it 8/10. A lil too greasy but the flavor was strong in a good way. Not too spicy but good kick. Got a good tang to it. The skin is so crispy almost like they fried it twice. And the meat is juicy and holds the flavor from the seasoning well. The brisket was flavorful with good seasoning but not tender or juicy. The wedges also had good flavor but a lil too thick so not enough crisp. The service was quick, can order on a screen. Staff were friendly, working hard.

The bright yellow sign has caught my eye each time I drive by. So today I stopped! And I'm sure glad I did. I ordered the 1/4 chicken and a few sides. Everything is delicious and the service is friendly. I even stopped eating to write this review! 10/10 recommend. Plus, the side patio for dining is pleasant and clean.

Stopped by for lunch - my friend really wanted some chicken tenders. She said the meal was OK and that the chicken could've been a little more moist. I tried a piece and I agree that it was not bad. I decided to try their barbecue and ordered the pulled pork sandwich with wedges. The meat could've used more flavor and/or bbq sauce. The zucchini was an interesting touch that only added a slight crunch to the sandwich - could've gone without it. We both agreed that the wedges were really tasty. Service was fine. It was clean inside when we came to pick up. Portion sizes were great.

Saw this place on Instagram and decided to check it out. Young guy at the counter recommended the chicken sandwich. I took him up on his offer. We got the following, Fryers Fried Chicken Sandwich Cuban Panini Cornbread Collard Greens Fried Oreos The chicken sandwich was decent but could have used more flavor. The Cuban Panini was quite tasty. Collard greens were kinda bland. I could do without. The fried Oreos could be left there. Overall this isn't what I thought it would be. The outside seating area had heaters that weren't on and didn't work once turned on. This was a one and done for me.

I love this place! Especially after I found out their chicken is halal! They're food is so good and their strawberry milkshake is absolutely the best milkshake I've had in my life! It's too good! I get the 6 piece chicken tenders with wedges (it comes with Hawaiian rolls) and it hits every time. The rolls really make the meal 10x better.

This place was so good! Stopped by on a rainy afternoon and ordered the honey sriracha smoked wings, a fried chicken sandwich, Texas brisket, and potato wedges. The food came out fresh, service was pretty good too. There is no seating inside so we sat outside and it was cute. I usually order these wings from All Set, so I knew they would be a 10/10 The brisket was juicy and tasted really nice with the different bbq sauces 9/10. The sandwich was just okay to me. There was a sweet taste to it that I didn't particularly enjoy, but it wasn't bad. The potato wedges were delicious I can't wait to come back here!

Ordered from the place a few times on uber eats and overall I enjoyed it. I have had the fried chicken spicy and the tenders smokin hot. I prefer the tenders. I have also had the potato wedges that were delicious and the slices of pepperoni pizza. Overall I would rate this place good and one day I plan to visit in person. I would recommend.

OMG! Kids meal of fried fish was filled with bones. Good thing I broke off a piece to try it first before giving it to my goddaughter. I felt the bones & spit it out. Tried a second part thinking maybe I had the only part with bones but the 2nd bite was the same. BEWARE! Kids fish meal not only unsafe for kids but dangerous for adults!

We stopped to satisfy a massive sugar craving. I went with a sundae, and all was good. They definitely hook you up with A LOT of toppings; I kind of wish there was more ice cream rather than the massive amount of toppings. Unfortunately, we arrived maybe about 20 minutes before closing so I think the staff was bit preoccupied with cleaning for closing. I'm not saying that we were rushed or that the staff was rude, but you could tell the staff was ready to finish cleaning and to get out of Dodge. Since we visited for a quick dessert, I hope to visit again to try some of the food. The folks that were eating outside looked VERY content with their food.

The flavor of Smoked chicken wings were very tasty, sweet and hot. Definitely a 10/10. Wedges were hot and crispy. The biscuit was meh, just ok.

I've been dying to try this place out and I'm glad I finally got the chance. Fryers is definitely a Fast Casual Dining type of spot primarily used for take out, but they do have a small seating area, which I sat in because I was STARVED. We ordered the brisket, smoked wings, wedges, and the mambo chicken sandwich. The wings were ok but everything else was delicious! I think they should do more with the seating area, but as far as the food I have no complaints. I definitely want to go back for some milkshakes.

I enjoyed everything I had when I visited but the Brussel Sprouts was the star of the show. This is something that I thought I would never say about brussel sprouts but it was delicious. The chicken sandwich, the wings, the milk shakes are good as well! This spot has so many gems, I will definitely explore the menu more in the future.

Ordered delivery with grubhub Loved the dry rubbed smoked wings & homemade blue cheese, the dip was blended so it was different and delicious. The ribs were phenomenal! 1/3 was plenty and impressive! Brussel sprouts were perfect, not overly sweet or spicy and I liked how they didn't over salt anything. A hefty serving for $8. The fried chicken fell a little short, we will return for the bbq items for sure!

I had not tried Fryer's under the old ownership and was looking forward to trying it under the new one since I'm a fan of Money Muscles and All Set, but I'm not a fan. I ordered takeout through Toast Tab which was very easy and didn't require me to download a separate app. I ordered the 6 piece tender with comeback sauce and blue cheese sauce as my dips, and the honey sriracha Brussels sprouts. The chicken was unbelievably greasy. The first 2 pieces were not too bad because they were on top, but the bottom ones were inedible. This also made its way over to the rolls, which I also couldn't stomach due to the grease. The Brussels sprouts were a little heavy on the sauce but pretty tasty, I'd get it again. I wouldn't completely write off trying it again, but I'll stick with the bbq options and skip the chicken.

I love Money Muscle, so when I heard they were taking over Fryers, I was pretty excited. Today was my first time eating there. I ordered the Carolina BBQ Sandwich and a skillet cornbread. The sandwich was pretty good, though I felt that the pickles on it rather quite overpowered the vinegar sauce and even the meat. The portion was good, and very tasty. The cornbread honestly was meh. It was overly crumbly, and I expected a larger bit for the price. I mean. It's cornbread. Inside, it resembles the old Fryers -- spartan, counter, get your food and go. There are picnic tables outside, and I hope they'll see use this spring. FYI, their weekday hours are weird. No lunch service -- they open at 3. I came by around noon for lunch and wound up getting McD. Boo.

We passed by this place every morning and finally today on the way home we stopped here for an early dinner. Boy am I glad we did! Ordering was a breeze but don't forget to print your receipt for when you pick up your meal). We were early enough, so they were very kind to bring our food out so we could enjoy the covered patio on this sunny day. Portions are huge so bring a friend or two or/and ask for a box. I couldn't help myself as I'm a sucker for soft serve ice cream, I got the milkshake combo so my Oreo milkshake was a lovely treat/dessert. Food overall : Spicy means spicy but in a good way. Hot, fresh, delicious, and wonderfully seasoned.

Stopped in to try Fryer's ribs and sides. I ordered online. The food was ready when i arrived. The ribs were flavorful and seasoned well. Nice snoke flavorful. I would definitely try some of their other bbq items.

I was underwhelmed- been meaning to check this place out for awhile now and did for dinner one night. Got the chicken tenders bc how can you mess up chicken tenders...well - batter them in heavy batter and then cook them til they are hard. I had to peel the batter/costing off to eat. One redeeming spot - their potato wedges - perfectly made and seasoned.

My husband has been going here awhile but aside from stealing a fry occasionally I hadn't ever been until recently. The other day we ordered takeout - a mambo chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, bbq beans and potato salad. Both the sandwiches are very good, I'd order either one again. My only complaint is I don't really care for the buns they use - they're too dense and they detract from the meat and other toppings. Next time I'll probably just eat the sandwich open faced to avoid this. But, I loved the smoky pork, the sweet & spiciness of the mambo sauce, the crunch and high quality breast meat of the chicken, and the really good pickles. The menu says the ones on the pork sandwich are zucchini pickles but I couldn't tell the difference between those and the ones on the mambo sandwich. My husband usually hates pickles but he actually likes theirs, they are very good - almost like a hybrid between dill and bread and butter - both sweet and dilly. I liked the BBQ beans more than the potato salad. The potato salad wasn't bad at all, but it has the same flavor profile as a store-bought potato salad. The beans however were great, I liked that they were a little bit sweet but not in a thick syrup like most bbq baked beans are, nor bland like ranch style beans. I would definitely get the beans again. The food was ready quickly and no glitches in the online ordering process. I'll be back!

The Mumbo Chicken Sandwich is all you need to order. Seriously, one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I was so sad when I finished it. I had passed by this place a few times and thought the outside was eye catching and was excited to finally try it out. We ordered our food online for pickup. Everything came out great and was ready in about 10-15 minutes from when I ordered so was easy to walk in, pick up and walk out. There didn't seem to be any indoor seating (or maybe it was somewhere else?), there definitely was outdoor seating under a covered spot. Parking was pretty easy, in and out. We also got the potato wedge which were good and the Mac and cheese. I think there's some sort of old bay seasoning in the Mac and cheese...I didn't dislike it, but it was different. Overall some really good food and I can't wait to go back for that sandwich

...aaaaaaaaaaand they're back!! This is an update to the recently reopened Fryer's Roadside (with its new sidekick, Money Muscle). I have to admit that I didn't try any of the chicken as it's allegedly the recipe from the previous owner. I was more interested in the Money Muscle side so I ordered what was available at the time (I went first thing when they opened and the brisket wasn't ready for serving yet). I tried wings, ribs, and pulled pork...and I liked them in that order. The wings came in dry rub and honey sriracha flavors. Both were excellent. cooked beautifully and seasoned just right. Tender and flavorful? Who could ask for anything more?! The ribs had a very nice smoked flavor to them, and their presentation was beautiful. With that said, not all of the meat came off of the bone and they definitely could have used another hour in the smoker. They seemed a little rushed. When I make smoked pork shoulder (the meat one uses for pulled pork), I *never* serve it with any sauce. I don't think it needs it and if you want to add some then knock yourself out...I won't be offended (that's a lie, I am offended). Anyway, their pulled pork comes with a vinegary sauce pre-applied and I did not like it - no one in my family did for that matter. I will see if I can get this without the sauce added and if I can't then I won't order this again. The pitmaster chooses to use cherry wood instead of an oak or hickory which is an interesting choice. The smoke flavor is a little more subtle with a fruit wood but the sweetness comes through so I'm okay with that. Maybe the pulled pork would benefit from the oak/hickory option but that's for them to test out. Obviously, a post oak would be optimal but potentially cost prohibitive. I'll definitely be coming back to get more wings and to see if they might be tweaking the options on the other meats. And I will also need to try the brisket. Note: there is no indoor seating but there are picnic tables with some heaters available outside.

I have not been here since the change in ownership. We decided to stop to see if the food was still good. Bottom line up front it's a far cry from what it last was. We ordered the following: 1 regular chicken sandwhich, 2x Hawaiian rolls, 1/2 chicken DARK, 1 fry, and the greens. So lets start on the service and the overall place. Problem is simply they're now ONLY walk up. On spring and summer days this is fine but on a night when its windy and 40 degrees NOPE. People would go up to the window, then wait in the car, then keep poking there heads out to see if the food was ready. A simple way to fix this is to just take peoples numbers and text them once their food is ready Now the for the customer service. Overall this was good. The young lady who rung up our order was nice, patient and polite. No problems there at all. 5/5. Sadly they didn't have the 1/2 chicken dark so they asked what we'd like to sub it for. So we got the wings. The food came out and it was highly underwelming. The chicken sandwhich seemed to have store bought coleslaw on it. The chicken breast was way over battered though was moist. They accidently gave us fish and told us that we could keep it. No problem there expect the "seasoning" was GREASE and parsely. Theres more I could right but ill leave it there. Overall, i think this place shouldve keep the old fryers recipes OR completely changed over to BBQ. But this half baked attempt is really poking its ugly face out and we all know it. Management, please understand that the community wants to see you all do well. We love the attempt here but we hope you all make the needed changes. Oh they put stickers on the wrapping from the food and it was hard to take off. Here is a picture of the sticker. Because of the pleasant lady they got an extra star bringing it to two stars.

We have enjoyed Fryers since they reopened. Our favorites are the tenders with wedges, Cuban panini, and the pulled pork sandwich. Ordering online is straightforward. The two times we have had a missing item, staff has quickly responded and gone above and beyond to make up for it.

I saw Fryer's Roadside mentioned by one of the IG accounts that visits different food spots around the DMV, so I decided to stop by. In my opinion, it's not worth the hype. I ordered 4 full wings, original. The wings were really large...not a good thing in my opinion. And maybe I should've asked for the wings to be fried hard (I don't know), but the wings didn't seem to be cooked enough for me. I wasn't impressed. If I go back, I'd get chicken tenders.

We just happened to be driving by this place at lunch time and figured we would try it out. It looks like it would be a good place to get takeout for a picnic, but it was a cold and rainy afternoon so we ate there. Admittedly, we got very confused by the point-of-sale system, and almost needed to have the front person help us. We did figure it out ourselves, but after ordering, I watched others go and it looks like the confusion is universal among the young and old, so I was glad it wasn't just us. But it indicates the point-of-sale system is universally unintuitive so they should probably consider just having someone at the front all the time to use it and not rely on customers to input their own orders. We ordered the 9-piece tenders to split because 3 seemed like too few, but worried 6 would be too much per person (which we were right). We also tried a bunch of sauces, and got fries, and biscuits to split. The food took a bit of time but we found to be worth the wait. The chicken was really good. The tenders were smaller than expected, so I think the 3-piece would be more for kids. But as mentioned above, splitting the 9-piece was perfect for my wife and I. They are hand-breaded with a great seasoning. We really liked them and I thought they paired well with all 5 sauces we tried. The fries were plentiful, came out hot and crispy which we enjoyed. The biscuits are legit! They were clearly from scratch and just so, so good. We plan on returning sometime to try the wedges as well as the bbq. I recommend this place, but I would suggest they redo their point-of-sale system because it seemed like it was more time consuming than just telling someone our order.

I didn't know that this place was sitting here all this time l. I pulled up with no parking issues. I spoke to the owners brother, who took my order. They took over from the previous people. I counted 8 employees, and they were busy. Everyone seemed high-spirited, and a few of them spoke to me. I did not see inside seating. One of the things that I didn't like was that they didn't accept cash. That was weird, but ok. The food didn't take long to get and it stayed hot once I got it hone. To me, the food was just ok. One rib dinner with 2 small sides and a fish nugget dinner was about $40. Will I come again? Yes! I haven't tried their ribs cause this lady in the house wasn't sharing. Just kidding, but I really didn't eat the ribs. No disrespect, but the food I had was average. Hopefully when I visit again, I can raise the review stars.

This place was fire! I live close by and have seen a couple times and was like why don't I try it out and I'm so happy I did. I'm a hungry hungry hippo so I got wings, a mumbo sauce chicken sandwich, and a milk shake and each one had me angry that I haven't come sooner. I got the spicy wings and they have mild and extra spicy also but I'm glad I got the spicy because they so crispy and had a good kick to it and I don't know if could've handed the extra spicy. The mumbo sauce chicken sandwich was bomb too and I'm from silver spring and I've had a lot of different kinds of Mumbo sauce and they all don't hit like they're supposed to but the sauce on that sandwich was doing what it needed to do. And it wasn't like they just squirted some sauce on the sandwich because it tasted like they had marinating in it but it was still crispy. I decided to try the milkshake of the month which is this cool thing they have where it's a different flavor each month. The flavor this month was double chocolate marshmallow and I'm not even a chocolate fan but I was trying to take a risk and was pretty good. They had actual marshmallows in it and the chocolate wasn't overpowering. I'm definitely coming back to try some of the other things on the menu which had a lot of stuff like pizza and a whole bunch of sides like mac & cheese that I need to try. I decided to get an order and eat it there, as opposed to a taco order and the service was really good as well. When I walked in the cashier came over and took my order pretty quickly. When I first came in there were some people waiting for orders, and the line wasn't that long but as I waited more, people came behind me, but the cashier did pretty well at taking all of their orders without having anyone wait long at all. Then he gave me my milkshake and said I could wait and sit in this outside area that they have which is pretty cool. It's like closed off because it's cold outside but they have heaters in there and picnic tables so it's pretty nice, and I felt comfortable eating there. Then the cashier brought out my food to the table I was sitting at, kind of like a sit down restaurant, on a tray, and I had already grabbed my utensils and straw for my milkshake. Definitely no complaints! Overall the place looked clean and they had lights everywhere, I guess for the holidays, and I got a real small business/ chill vibe which was nice. They have a bathroom in there as well which was nice and clean. At the outside part where I ate, you could still see inside the restaurant from the windows in the glass door, but it has call painted patterns on the wall and I can say I like the whole look of the place. But I will definitely come back to eat here again and would recommend for others to try it out.

This is the best local place you're not eating at. In two visits we've had the ribs, the brisket (sandwich and straight up), fish sandwich, pizza, wedges, fries, and a variety of shakes. Everything has been great. Disagree with other reviews on the wedges - they're not supposed to be fries and are cooked perfectly. Ordering is online or by screen in the restaurant, with seating outside. That put us in fast food mode a little bit, so the 7 (completely-reasonable-to-prepare-3-bbq-meals) minutes felt long the first time. That was on us. Go try it out.

Onion rings would be a good addition to the menu, miss the fried chicken wings they were great.

Wow, this is our second time and our order was spot on. We got the fried chicken sandwich, wedges, Mac and cheese, and dry run wings--with an Oreo milkshake for dessert. Everything was incredible. We're now dedicated customers!

A hidden gem and as some Yelpers observed, Fryer's is much better their rating or older reviews would have you believe. I tried almost everything, and loved almost EVERYTHING!!! Oddly, the only chicken are "tenders" or wings, no breasts , legs or thighs. But the wings are enormous and yummy and the coating is delicious. The chicken tenders are great too! The ribs were good but expensive as ribs are now:( You get the type of rib sauce you like best but the generic cooking process doesn't help capture a regional flavor. The sides are soooo good here, they kind of steal the show! Potato wedges crisp and potatoey, mildly mustardy addictive potato salad, THE BEST coleslaw I've eaten in eons, ditto the Mac & cheese and REAL home cooked beans without a mountain of sugar that obscures flavors. The buttermilk biscuits and skillet cornbread are must-haves too! I'll be stocking up the next time I go. The only dud was the Fried shrimp; the shrimp themselves were nice and plump, but the coating was way too salty so I just removed that. Large undercover picnic tables outside. Budget $25 per person, much more if you're smart enough to get extra to go. You won't be sorry! You're welcome!

One and done I was REALLY looking forward to going here for dinner and was sooo disappointed! First, let me say this: the positive reviews for this place make me question what do people normally eat? The facts are as follows: 1. Mac and Cheese had no flavor or cheese. The crumbs on top were not needed and I still don't know what it was. 2.Everyone said the texture of the cornbread was good, but it didn't taste like cornbread. 3. The wings were decent. Not as good as Jaspers. 4. The brussel sprouts were saucy and greasy, but people did like it. The baked beans were homemade. 5. The meat options, ribs and brisket were decent but not enough to come back.

Your brussels sprouts and your pulled pork and fried catfish and chicken fingers are all super solid!!! we really loved the potato wedges. Can you please bring those back? I have a suggestion, the macaroni and cheese needs more cheese instead of seasoned breadcrumbs.... I will say this, the first 2 times I had the pulled pork sandwich. It was literally the best I've ever had, but I had it recently, and it was less good. Not sure what changed. The roll seemed different? Don't mess with perfection lol!!! Original recipe will give you a cult following!

Been coming here since day 1 and never left a review. At first, would have been a 3.5/4 star based on food alone as it was covid. Through ownership changes, and minor menu changes, the chicken sandwich has always been really solid. For awhile, it got much smaller and less delicious, but happy to report it is as big as it's ever been and the quality and taste is out of this world. I really enjoy eating here, but afraid the addition of LOTS of other menu items will draw the quality down. The Nashville type sandwich is as good as it gets, although I would prefer more of a vinegar based slaw. The potato wedges are ridiculously good!

I had the best fish sandwich ever here! It was spicy, crispy and flavorful. I'd definitely go back just for this. The service was solid and I think i'd have my meal in the patio the next time, weather permitting.

They don't answer their phone, ordering online requires you to create an account. If you go there in person, no one takes your order because you have to program a computer to do it. And they don't take cash.

Definitely recommend the brisket and corn bread. We've tried a few different things with our kids and all of have enjoyed our food at fryers.

The food was smacking! There were plenty of good choices and I thought I should try a few things for "research purposes"! Both the cornbread (which has corn in it) and the buttery biscuit were as good as homemade and the serving size was significant. I'm a big fan of smoked brisket and it did not disappoint. Next up ~ the mild fried chicken wings (no, I can't stand the heat) - huge wings, good crisp but I could have used a tad bit more salt whereas the dry rub smoked wings were well seasoned. The coleslaw was decent but a bit heavy on the mayo, The wedges crispy on the outside, super tender on the inside and flavorful. Lastly, The coffee shake was just ok for the price. Service was top of the line. We took our food to go but the outdoor area appeared to be adequate! Will return again.

We tried the brick oven pizza potato wedges, self serve ice cream and Mac & cheese. Everything was amazing. The new pizza option they have is super good. We tried the barbecue chicken and my wife loved it. Service was good and it was fast. Their new outdoor sitting is also nice and family friendly. Would definitely go back.

I dropped by Fryer's Roadside for lunch the other day and came back for dinner later in the week. Yumm! Best chicken sandwich I've ever had! It was a real piece of chicken, not a chicken patty, and had yummy add ons and sauce and a nice soft bun. The pulled pork sandwich was quite good too! Service was quick and pleasant. This place is great for takeout and delivery in the winter time. Their outdoor eating tent has heaters, but is still a bit chilly in February! I expect it will be great as the weather warms up.

Drove by a few times and finally decided to stop for lunch with the fam. The chopped brisket sandwich and potato wedges were great. Lots of brisket and wedges. Couldn't finish it all. Also got dry rub wings. Best in the area. Favorite of the table. We got the chicken sandwich and fries too. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Couldn't eat it all. Place is clean, cute. Indoor and outdoor patio seating great and well kept. We will definitely return even if it's a bit of a drive.

Pros- Easy ordering Order was ready when promised Friendly staff Good food. Cons- A little pricey for this area No mention of wing quantity per order on the online menu Fryers in Colesville opened here a little over 2 months ago, and so I finally came to try them. I waited as I was letting them settle in and for the dust to settle as I've heard more negative opinions on the food rather than good. I ordered online through their website for pickup. They have a nice menu with great choices however, one thing i think they need to post is how many wings are in an order as when ordering wings it does not state how many there are to an order. When ordering, they will tell you exactly what time our order will be ready. In the door I found the place bright, clean with a open waiting area as there is no indoor seating. I was greeted in the door and found the staff very friendly. My order was ready at the time specified. We ordered one (1) order of the honey sirachi wings (menu does not state how many but there are seven (7) to a single order. The wings were very tasty and crispy, we also ordered extra sirachi sauce for dipping on the side as they are not real saucy. My wife ordered The chicken tenders (spicy) which did have good heat and were crispy my wife says that they needed more seasoning on them like possible garlic but I thought that they were fine as is. We also ordered the Mac n cheese, which was very good and creamy. However, we think they use an elbow macaroni that is a little too big, but again, good Mac n cheese overall. We also ordered the baked beans which were prepared really good and tasty with a smoky flavor. Lastly we ordered the collard greens which were good, what I expected but nothing more, just middle of the road. They were crisp and juicy they just seemed to be missing something that I could not put my finger on. All this was $42.00 which in my opinion, is a little high for this area, honestly, $15.00 for seven wings is high. Bottom line, good chicken and roadside food, we will be back and I recommend Fryers in Colesville.

So we've tried this place many times and it always misses the mark in some way (undercooked chicken, incorrect orders). But we keep going back because we want a neighborhood joint to succeed. The latest? I stopped in for just a simple ice cream cone- needed a mid afternoon treat. I ordered a chocolate cone. I don't know if the gentleman behind the counter couldn't hear me or wasn't paying attention but first he hands me a cup full of chocolate vanilla swirl. When I corrected him and repeated my order he handed me a cone this time but still with the swirl. So he had to remake the cone, giving me attitude the whole time. And in the end shorted me on the ice cream. It's pretty hard to make ice cream a joyless experience but Fryer's managed to do it.
