Nashville-style hot chicken, sandwiches, tater tots, and banana pudding.

"Think hot chicken and kids don’t go together? Well, that’s probably right. Happily, Palmer’s offers naked spice, which is no spice, so the kids can just enjoy their chicken while the adults go as hot as they can stand. It has a nice little play area out front for the kids that’s easy to keep watch on through the big glass windows. And there’s a whole family-style menu for to-go orders that will meet the needs of both adults and kiddos." - Courtney E. Smith
"Famous for Hot Chick-in-Pancake Poppers at the State Fair of Texas." - Courtney E. Smith
"The proprietors took two proven hits—Nashville hot chicken and pimento cheese—and turned them into a deep-fried fair treat built on the classic tradition of fried balls. Though the team used an air fryer during prep, the result surprised skeptics: a tangy, deeply flavored pimento-cheese interior that earned top marks from the judge and was declared a favorite among the finalists." - Courtney E. Smith
"A popular fair vendor whose new item sold out so fast reviewers couldn’t sample it, despite it not placing as a finalist. The reviewer is a fan and plans to try it at the fair; the item itself is solid but straightforward — essentially a palate-cooling punch designed to cool your mouth after an extra-spicy bite. If you prefer plain lemonade you’ll get that, but mixing it up is an option (and it might be more thrilling with booze)." - Courtney E. Smith
"For those who like it hot, head to Palmer’s and see how high you can turn up the heat. This fried chicken, which is served solo, in a sandwich, or nuggs-style, comes in a range of Nashville heat driven flavors. Don’t worry, if you’re not into it they can do original and it’s darn fine." - Courtney E. Smith
