  The food was fantastic, the service was very prompt (less than 10 mins), and the place was a great environment. Would totally recommend. I like lower heat, so it was amazing. Haven’t got to the higher levels yet…overall a great place for food.

  Jacob miller runs this place very well I have to say. Very good with the customers and maintains quick service. We have always loved the food but we will continue coming back because of how welcoming the atmosphere is

  Usually the staff are amazingly friendly and welcoming, and the food is great; Kinda sad the green beans are such a small portion, versus other places. It's barely enough to thoroughly enjoy fully, and they have amazing green beans. Unfortunately when we went last weekend, every single table was dirty as we looked for a place to sit, as well as their seats. In the past, we've never seen the place look so filthy. They weren't busy, there was only two other groups eating when we came; One group outside, and another inside with us. No reason for the place to be as dirty as it was. But otherwise, the food is delicious.

  I come to this restaurant / location often, and drive 20+ mins just to eat here! The chicken is consistently delicious, it’s my favorite chicken spot in all of Louisville. It never disappoints! The restaurant is clean, and staff are friendly. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant! We usually get the fried and grilled tenders, with Mac and cheese. *chefs kiss* I specifically visited on 10/7/25 and the general manager was super friendly and as expected, food was amazing!
