“ This place was so fire, in more ways than one. Probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had in my life. The spice level was perfect, the portions were hefty, the coleslaw had an optimal amount of sweetness, and the prices were extremely reasonable. They also had some unique menu items that had me salivating. Would definitely return and bring more friends too. ”
“ I chose the tenders. That seasoning is everything! So crispy. Definitely be back. And a decent price ”
“ Can’t even get me started with this “Suga Momma sandwich”! The JUICY chicken breast. Crunchy seasoned to perfection outter layer. The best candied bacon I’ve ever had! The doughnuts were soft and sticky!! ”
“ The ONLY chicken place worth going to in the Ann Arbor area, from this point on for my husband and I. We ordered the Fat Daddy Chicken Sandwich, the Chicken Cheese Fries, Fried pickles, and Banana Pudding. The portions were generous, the flavors were perfection (we ordered it hot--just enough to feel the heat, but not enough to break a sweat), the fries were seasoned and crisp. The Banana pudding made me weak in the knees. Seriously....run, don't walk to this place! We can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu! ”
“ Super delicious food! I ordered "The Suga Momma" with the spice level "Too Damn Hot". It was flavorful AND too hot. Definitely a nose runner so be warned My partner ordered "The Mac Daddy" with the spice level "Mild". Only words I could get out of him was 'juicy' and 'delicious' and this was after the 5 minutes of silence as we enjoyed our food. I will absolutely be coming back. ”
“ Best halal fried chicken in AA. Their chicken was juicy and the batter was thin and crunchy. Enjoyed their sides too, both the fries and mac and cheese were excellent. ”
“ Service was fast and food was hot! The interior is pretty dinky but that’s a sign of a good chicken shop iykyk! Unfortunately they were out of donuts so couldn’t get the sandwich I wanted but everything we tried was delicious. I feel like the photo color doesn’t actually represent how tasty it really is. ”
“ Best chicken and waffles in Ann Arbor! Just moved here from down South, and I've been searching everywhere for a good chicken and waffles. This place nails it. I'm not too big on spice, so I went with the mild tenders. It was amazing, seasoned really well. I was even surprised with an extra tender in my meal! Waffles are thick and freshly made. My only complaint was the music volume. They were BLASTING these oldie bops, which was awesome, but a little hard on my ears lol. I'll definitely be returning for the food! ”
