"This restaurant has been serving up affordable, delicious food for 50-plus years. The draw is the deservedly famous fried chicken topped with deep-fried garlic made from a secret southern-style recipe." Full review
Frommer's "The owners double fry the chicken and add garlic, which makes these birds irresistible. The crispy skin is crunchy without being overcooked, and the meat retains a perfect level of tender juiciness. " Full review
