Description
The counter draws a steady local crowd, especially students after school dismissal and stadium event-goers. While the staff is known for friendly service, visitors recommend you stick strictly to the fried chicken. The sides and desserts get a notably tough reception: reviews call out the coleslaw for being sugary instead of savory, the mac and cheese for undercooked macaroni and hard Velveeta, and the bacon fries for arriving mushy. Even the sweet potato pie is flagged as tasting artificial.
