Gentrifried Chicken: ALMOST as good as Pies N Thighs. We get in fights over this one all the time. Either way, excellent fried chicken and the honey butter is a winner. Get a tiki drink with your meal. Read more.
Donny Tsang: Get the fried chicken plate and smear the honey butter all over the chicken. Hot fish is DAMN SPICY!

lucyfer: hushpuppies with honey butter and a side of battleship, please.
Lauren: Burger and garlic fries are amazing. Pumpkin bread pudding tastes like meat--gross.
