4.6/5 More meat than bun, but it delivers what it promises. Is it the best fried chicken sandwich? No. But the experience of eating this sandwich was fantastic. However, some posited that there could have arguably been more bun, while some said that the point of this sandwich was the meat, not the sandwich itself. But if there had been more bun, then there could have been more pickles and that would've been great. The chicken was great--although not super crispy, like Southern-styled fried chicken, yet tender and well-seasoned.

Spicy Fried Chicken (chicken thighs that have been marinated in habanero purée, coated in buttermilk, dredged in a spice blend, and deep-fried, then tucked inside a Martin’s potato roll with pickles and butter)

Sides: Potato wedges
