    You can get the hot chicken in cluckin hot, medium, mild, original (not spicy), or general tso's (sweet & spicy). I love flavorful spicy food and medium was perfect for me.

    The fried chicken is outstanding. Spicy, crispy, juicy. The Dirty South is the perfect sandwich for bacon lovers. Thick cut house bacon, fried green tomato, mixed greens. Those fried green tomatoes!

    The hot chicken is incredible. If you aren't sure how spicy you want to go you can get the spice level on the side. The pickles are amazing too.

    Wow! Awesome, awesome place. Be sure to try the General Tso's, unique way to enjoy hot fried chicken. Pimento cheese deviled eggs are legit! Top it off with a Frostie Root Beer. Best in STL!

    Everything here is well made and delicious. Two pieces is a good lunch portion, chicken tenders are huge, their General Tso's beats most Chinese food around. Get the mac and cheese.

    Food was great. Chicken cooked to perfection, but the mild chicken was spicy. So if say spicy it will be really hot. Be mindful of your heat tolerance.

    Excellent tenders. I got the general tso sauce. It was mild-medium and had great flavor. The mac and cheese was also very good.

    Tasty hot chicken! DO NOT go for the hot immediately. Even if you like hot food. You'll thank me later. :)

    Tenders are amazing. Staff is super friendly. But you'll leave smelling like fry oil. Worth it?

    The medium was hot enough for me. Banana pudding was great at calming your mouth.

    It's not easy being a chicken. Up early, work hard, try to do right by your kids, then BAM! You're a sandwich.

    Food is usually solid but this last time the chicken was nearly cold. Don’t know what the deal was since they were pretty slow.
