"Remember the big dispute for best fast food chicken sandwich on social media? How Crispy has now entered the chat. Their fun, sauced-covered takes on the standard fried chicken sandwich gives the debate some much-needed flair. While it's not the best in the city, it's a commendable quick-service chicken sandwich. In addition to flavors like garlic honey and tikka masala, they’ve got the ATL version we desperately needed with a tangy lemon pepper wet chicken sandwich. And the brightly colored orange and yellow counter-service spot has a nice, shaded patio when you need to shake up your lunch rotation with a new view." - juli horsford, demarco williams
"How Crispy Express in Summerhill dedicates its entire menu to fried chicken, mostly in sandwich form. Expect just five sandwiches on the menu, including a nod to the quintessential Atlanta flavor, lemon pepper wet, and fried chicken spiced with tikka seasoning. In addition to sandwiches, look for chicken nuggets and sides like collards, mac and cheese, and yucca fries." - Eater Staff
"This hot, crispy chicken joint in Summerhill is known for its sandwiches with chicken fried to perfection. But don’t sleep on the wings. Order anywhere from a six-wing plate for $10 to a 50-piece party platter for $75, with flavors like garlic honey, buffalo, and of course, lemon pepper wet. Chicken biscuits (“bizkits”) are sold on Saturdays." - Mike Jordan
"We already know chicken and lemon pepper are a match made in heaven, so it’s no shocker that we love this Summerhill spot’s fried chicken sandwich. It’s made with the thigh meat, so it’s juicy and full of flavor, and then it’s drenched in a mixture of lemon pepper seasoning and buffalo sauce. The shredded lettuce, ranch, and pickles help balance out the heat. And a lightly toasted buttery bun provides the perfect bookends for this tasty sandwich. Eating this on their colorful patio overlooking Georgia Ave is as Atlanta as it gets." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"It’s all about the fried chicken sandwich at How Crispy in Summerhill, which includes five versions and one vegetarian option made with a black-eye pea patty. Order the Tikka Boi fried chicken sandwich spiced with tikka masala seasoning topped with smokey lime mayo and sweet pickles or the Honey Boi, which sees chicken glazed in garlic-honey butter before being fried, then dressed with smokey lime mayo, sesame slaw, and sweet pickles. Folks can choose white or dark meat for their sandwich and pair it with sides like tomato salad, collards, and yucca fries." - Eater Staff
