"When Mary and Gus Rickettes opened Royal Chicken in 1964, patrons waited in line for the shaken chicken and secret sauce. Unfortunately, the spot burned down, but the couple was able to reopen in 1969 under a new name, Uncle Remus. Today, Uncle Remus is run by Mary and Gus’ daughter, who has ensured that same chicken is on the menu. Over the years it’s become a community stalwart where you can always go for wings, a whole chicken, or whatever piece you’d like, all sauced up and ready to dive in. Our only recommendation? Get extra napkins." - Ariel Kanter

Located inside a shared restaurant space. Once you place your order, you pick it up from one of the lockers or someone brings it out to you. I ordered fish, shrimps, fried okra and coleslaw. Shrimp and okra were my favorites. Coleslaw was good,and the order was ready in 20 mins. Cons: mild sauce and fish. Uncle Remus is typically known for their sauce. This was just ketchup with a sprinkling of hot sauce..definitely didn’t taste like what’s added on the chicken. As for the fish, I have no idea what type of fish they serve. The fish was my least favorite.

I placed an order today and the chicken tasted like someone seasoned it with a box of salt. I still can taste the salt. I normally never had a bad experience but today the chicken was extremely salty.

The place has very little parking if any at all. I ordered a 10pc at 543 it's 612 and I still don't have it. No one to talk to no one to ask what's going on. It's completely faceless. DO NOT COME HERE. UNLESS YOU ARE ORDERING UBER FROM HERE. IT IS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Edit: once someone showed up at 630. They handed me the food that had been sitting off to the side. For how long it was sitting there idk. Food was ok just slightly warm but soggy from sitting

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. The food was greasy, poorly prepared, and completely lacking in flavor. The place felt dirty, with no attention to cleanliness or basic hygiene. Service was slow and unfriendly, as if they didn’t care whether customers enjoyed their meal. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone there are far better options in the area that actually care about quality and customer service.
