    The chicken is amazing with a little heat and crispy skin.  As great as the bone-in chicken is, the tenders were even better.  The chicken tenders were so juicy.  We will definitely be back when visiting our daughter at Ole Miss.

    I had the three chicken tender platter with fries and baked beans. The fries were okay and the beans were a little bit better. The chicken was definitely unique compared to chicken tenders elsewhere in oxford. I really enjoyed the spiciness of the chicken, but I feel that it could have been a little bit more moist. Also, I feel like it was a little overpriced at $10.

    The waiter was extremely nice and checked on us multiple times which is always good:) I got the three piece wing plate with greens and fried okra. The greens were not very tasty and they were spicier than the chicken (??) while the okra was awesome and perfectly fried. The chicken was also delicious however it wasn't as spicy as I expected! Had to add hot sauce to every bite which I didn't mind. Overall good service and better chicken.

    Overpriced, Underwhelming.
    In Oxford, it doesn't live up to the hype. The chicken was sufficiently spicy, but lacked FLAVOR.  The sides were sub-par. The mac and cheese was OK. The box is better. The beans tasted like they were straight out of the can. Two pieces of chicken and two sides ( with the up grade) was NOT worth the $10 I paid for them. The franchise needs to up its game. I'm not going to Tennessee to see if it's really worth it. I would not frequent this establishment again.

    I'm from out of town and came here solely based on a recommendation from a friend. I had the three piece white meat ! This is some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Great flavor with a kick and so juicy. The fries were also well seasoned. If your in the mood for some fried chicken this place will not disappoint you at all. The only thing I regret is not saving room for dessert. The waitress were also great, always had a smile on their faces. They also have a selection of bottle beer and liquor.
