Another conTender in the chicken game. Big juicy crispy pieces of chicken on soft buns , super crunchy slaw and pickles with Dave’s sauce drizzled on it .you can pick your seasoning level from no seasoning to reaper. I tried mild and no seasoning so I can taste the chicken and the sauce and both were delicious. Fries were seasoned nice and crispy as well. Place had plenty of seating , and some fountain drinks. Fast friendly service. Defiantly a good stop for a good chicken sandwich.

Phenomenal!!!!! And it takes a lot to get that word out of me for a food review. Finally, a casual restaurant where you get what you pay for. I ordered the 2 tender meal with Cole Slaw. I chose the "hot" spice level, and it was just a tad spicy for my taste. I find the spice level in Frank's Red Hot sauce to be just about right, and this was like one level hotter. It's best compared to Nashville style preparation. The order comes on 2 pieces of white bread, so it could be a sandwich if you choose to make it that. My 11 year old son and 13 year old son got the sandwich meal with fries. Beverages are self service fountain with another dispenser that had Gold Peak iced tea, including 4 varieties. I'm not sure if refills are free technically, but everyone was refilling, and none of the employees said anything, so you may as well order small drinks with your meal. It took a little longer for the food to be ready so I wouldn't classify this as fast food, and there is no drive-through. Bathrooms were clean even though this place was packed. When a table was done being used, an employee quickly came out to wipe it down. A great experience. The three of us ate until we were full for $43. It is very reasonable price for this inflated price time we live in, and the quality of the food.

I love this place. The hype is real. This location is just under an hour from me and I’ve already been here twice in a week. The chicken is just out of this world.

Food was good. My chicken slider was mild and I didn’t really notice any spice or heat. Would definitely recommend trying something a little hotter than you would typically like. Next time, I’ll step it up a notch. Overall, experience and food was good.

Ordered the tender (hot) and sandwich (medium) combo and a side of kale slaw! I loved the sandwich. The chicken was juicy, crunchy, and flavorful, not too spicy. The fries and kale slaw were also delicious. The hot chicken tender definitely had a nice little kick, next time I’ll be brave and try extra hot.

Chicken was great. Service was good won’t recommend for dining in though. It’s extremely tight and not comfortable when it’s packed. Prices are decent. They called the sandwiches sliders but for me it’s more than enough for a full meal to share for 2 people.

Great place to go for any day or meal! Colorful dining area with a wide panoramic view of the Wayne skyline. The service was fast and efficient. We met the owner David, really nice guy, but wouldn’t give up his chicken recipe 🤷. The food …
