"Drive up (like Sonic). Looks like an old A&W! Good fried chicken! FYI- It's a little spicy (as the sign says). Prices are good. 3 piece combo price is great! Nice to still be able to find a good deal!"

"This place is an absolute jewel! Their burgers are probably the best that you can get in Henderson. They have that right amount of crust that you're looking for on a good burger. Melted cheese bacon all the fixings you ask for it they'll put it on there. My wife absolutely loves their tenderloin sandwich. On Texas toast it does not disappoint. I don't know if their french fries are any good, because we can't seem to stay away from the tater tots. Real crispy on the outside with that smooth potato inside. They know how to cook the tater tots! If you're looking for something to get you started the fried mushrooms are a little spicy but really good. And don't forget the chicken below, oh Colonel Sanders knows nothing compared to Colonel Jim. So if you're on this side of town or even if you're on the other side of town you need to stop in and try this place. You will not be disappointed!"

"I would've posted our food but we INHALED it!! We went right before they closed and got a wing dinner, chili dog meal, cheeseburger meal! I heard my daughter yelling from the backseat "mom this is GOOD!" The chicken is the best around and kind of reminds me of The Pantry from back in the day! Seasoned to the bone! Everything was good! Don't let the aesthetics fool you, this place is legit. Will be returning"

"Best fried chicken in Henderson Kentucky, seasoned to the bone. So delicious! Jalapeno hamburger was delicious, also the tenderloin sandwich was amazing. My wife loves their grilled chicken sandwich."

"EXCELLENT FRIED CHICKEN!!!!! Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had!!! Perfectly cooked and seasoned with a little spice kick! My husband can't do spicy and he loved it! I only gave 4 stars because the slaw was soggy, Texas toast bland & no butter, and the fries were ok... I think if they put a little bit more effort into the side items, they would be a solid 5 star for me! The prices are very good (even during 2022 extreme inflation). Just hit those fries with a little seasoning, butter that toast, and ease up on the slaw dressing (which would help with the food cost) for that fresh slaw crunch. Other than that, excellent food! If you read my reviews, you know I am extremely honest and hold nothing back."
