I really don’t like leaving low reviews, especially since the restaurant did give us 50% off our order, and I do appreciate that. But the service and overall experience were simply too poor to overlook. We placed our order at 2:25 PM, and our food did not arrive until 4:10 PM nearly two hours later. Our server walked past our table multiple times saying, “I didn’t forget you,” but it became clear the order was never put in. During that time, seven tables that arrived after us were served promptly, and three of those tables had already finished their meals and left before ours even came out. Throughout the wait, we had no drink refills, no table clearing, and no check-ins. When the food finally arrived, there was still no follow-up, no offer of condiments nothing. It truly felt like our table was being avoided. The food itself was good, and again, the discount was appreciated. But the service made the entire experience stressful, disappointing, and not reflective of the standard I expected. I'm glad we aren't big drinkers, but a second hard cider would've been nice!

Absolutely fantastic first visit! We ordered the half chicken with beans and mac and cheese, and every bite exceeded our expectations. The chicken was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and had just the right amount of spice—it was both hearty and satisfying. The sides were delicious, especially the mac and cheese, which was creamy and comforting. What truly elevated our experience was the outstanding service—our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed the meal so much that we ordered extra to take back with us to Toronto. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Cool and eclectic with a rustic charm and classic blues playing overhead. Servers were friendly and attentive but it's the chicken that's the star of the show. Wow! Flavor that I can't describe. Spicy but not lighting your mouth on fire, it's the perfect blend of flavor and spice. Try the chicken sandwich. It's not like anything you've ever had. They make it with boneless thigh I stead of breast, so its not dry and its full of flavor. Love it!

Top 5 fried chicken I have ever had. So juicy, flavourful and tastes like home cooked chicken. We comeback here every time we go to Detroit!

Truly out of this world flavors. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Well worth the wait time and freshly cooked. 2nd time back best Chicken in The state . WARNING THIS PLACE WILL RUIN YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL CHICK SPOTS BUT ITS SOOOO WORTH IT.

An eclectic atmosphere with a warm feeling. This is a nice brick building with a chicken motif. I ordered a 2 piece dark Chicken plate with a drink ($16). The chicken was delicious. It was slightly sweet and that offset the spiciness of the fried chicken. The spiciness was not overpowering in any way. It only added to the flavor. It was juicy and cooked perfectly. The plate comes with baked beans and coleslaw and both were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. You order up at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. I'm not sure the next time I will be in the area, however I may have to make a trip just for this!

I'm just not a fan. The food was mediocre to say the least. The Mac& Cheese was bland, but looked really pretty, the greens tasted like they came from a frozen food bag. The chicken was a little spicy for my taste. The restaurant was sparsely crowded. The Arnold Palmer was fire!
