The food is freshly prepared. It is seasoned with soulfulness. The fries are tender on the inside and deliciously crisp enough on the outside. They also have the best chicken breast sandwich in town. Try them. I am sure you will be pleased. You also get more food for your $$$$.

I was starving and in dire need of fried chicken when this establishment came across my radar. Was the food good? Yes, it was. The fried chicken tasty, the sweet tea mildly lemony, and the fries the closest thing to chunky English chips I've come across, neither under nor over-seasoned. What I hadn't realized was that there was a pillowy biscuit in the box with my chicken. And it was the finest biscuit I've ever received from a fried chicken joint. See, I thought it was a run of the mill dinner roll at first, it was that tall. But then it was also heavy but fluffy. I inhaled that thing as I drove down 95. Was the service slow? Maybe a touch, but the food was handed to me piping hot and overflowing their respective containers. And folks, these people were the nicest people! I nearly ordered a full priced dinner before the clerk informed me there was a special that cost much less. She asked if I was particular about which pieces I wanted, and I told her to throw in whatever pieces they needed to unload. They could have just given me 2 wings and I'd have been happy - that's how dire my fried chicken need was -but they have me the GOOD chicken! And then, they brought out the cakes. The proprietor brought out a fully frosted chocolate cake as well as a lemon cake, and answered all my curious questions about them: did you make these (yes), what kind, how often, etc. I bought 2 slices that again overflowed their containers, and then promptly forgot them when I left. I was in my car checking out my goods when one of the employees was knocking at my door to reunite us. I love small locally owned places, and I'm so happy I stopped here for lunch.

Really good chicken, Good coleslaw, good greens and phenomenal catfish. Great service Nice people, clean and easy. Takes a few minutes to get your food because they cook it fresh for you and it is worth it. The only reason I won't be back is because I don't live near here, I'm a little jealous of folks that do!

I had the chance to check out Chick N Friends with my mom. The customer service was A1 and the ambiance was clean. My mom had the catfish and fries with a half n half. She was highly pleased with her food. Since I pride myself on being the president of the chicken tenders and fries club I had to try their tenders and waffle, additional side of fries, and a half n half. The tenders had a great crunch and the fries were seasoned to perfection. For dessert I tried one of the mini sweet potato pie which was good also. If you ever find yourself in the Columbia area stop by and check them out you won't be disappointed.

Tucked away in Owen Brown shopping center, directly across from the entrance of Lake Elkhorn Park, is a soul food paradise. I have to commend Big Schlim, for sharing about the National Cannibas Festival special at this restaurant. I was greeted with love by the cashier and a smile. I saw how dark the sweet tea was in the beverage dispenser and let me tell you I know the tea has to be good! I ordered the 420 Sweet Chili Party Wing Special (w/fries) and the 4 Piece Chicken lunch special. You can get a 2 piece or 4 piece lunch. Both come with a side and biscuit. The wing special with the fries and the 4 piece were delicious. The Collard greens though full of flavor were too sweet for me. Customer service and the parking was amazing. Between the made to order quality food and the 2019 food prices this place is a winner. Treat yourself!

Dc boy loved this Columbia chicken! I wanted to give them 5 stars so bad, but I couldn't and I'll tell you why. So, when you walk in, it looks like it's a an old carry out & smells a little weird. It comes off a little as a hole in the wall spot, but as I've learned they are gems! They have a kiosk you can order from or with cashier. Everybody was welcoming and one person help me place my order. It took about 20/25 min. The chicken was warm but didn't seem hot like it was just coming out of the dryer, but the fries were. Fries are homemade- style, so good and good size and they were hot out of the oil! Chicken is so flavorful and crispy. But wasn't hot as the fries were. For this price it's no way this places isn't packed out. I got a 4 piece special which comes with one side and biscuit. Biscuit was decent, but I don't eat it. With a little TLC (handing that smell, better lighting, and better menu placement), this place is easily a 5. Also, making sure chicken is piping hot. All men working and they were good with the service which I didn't expect initially. I wish this spot was closer, will be back next time if I'm in the area, or anytime I feel like making the drive from DC.

I have eaten at this place several times while visiting my nearby office. Food is 5 stars. I have gotten he spicy fried chicken sandwich each time. The sandwich is a freshly breaded fried chicken breast on a brioche roll dipped in a spicy but sweet sauce and served with a spicy mayo sauce. It is awesome. The fries are breaded fries which are not my thing however they do a great job with them making them crispy but soft and tender inside. They do lose a star for speed as they take a long time to get the food. It won't prevent me from visiting again but just planning for the time. Dining area is ok but nothing special. The chicken is the special. Staff is very friendly.

I have missed this venue since I moved to Texas, so I am so excited to be back! And I did not even remember that it was Restaurant Week! Shoutout to our local community heroes here in Columbia! Hunter was the front man and greeted me with a warm, personable, and friendly welcome. This is a clean and well lit venue. I love the menu! Comfort food to the max! Pressure Fried Chicken, collard greens, Mac and cheese, dinner rolls, corn bread, french fries, teas, lemonades, and more ! They even have chicken sandwiches! Regular and spicy! So you know that I had to order a spicy chicken sandwich for home and I dined in with the 2 piece special combo! Chicken on the bone is always the best for me! Flavor and texture is my main focus! And this venue is on point!!! Crunch-tastic !!! Cheese pull! This was delicious! Yummm ! Hit the spot!!
