This is thee BEST Fried Chicken I've had in my life!!! The chicken is good even as leftovers you've left in the fridge. Chicken is so crisp and juicy!! The service was pretty quick. The fried apple pie is a yummy dessert. The shoestring fries are best when hot. Love this place!!!

This is the best fried chicken I have EVER eaten. I live in Georgia and don't have access, but every time I come to Louisiana, this is a stop on the list. I actually called them (the store) one time to see if they had plans to open one in Georgia and they said no. I was bummed!!! The locals call it crack chicken cause you keep coming back lol.

Another HomeTown favorite, chicken is cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of spices and just a hint of kick to it. While others prefer some of the larger chains moving into the area, Southern classic remains true to its roots and its taste!

The chicken has increased in price over the last few years but is still the best chicken in town easily. They are usually slow but most things are cooked to order so it's understandable. The employees can sometimes be a bit too much but those employees don't usually last long. The food is amazing so that's what I'm eating them on. 5 star chicken YUM!
