Hutchins…. I’m pretty in different about this BBQ joint. I was in the Plano, TX area and said to myself let me get some BBQ. I looked up BBQ restaurants on Yelp and Hutchins popped up as one of the better BBQ restaurants in the area. Well I can say I tried it, wasn’t impressed, and more than likely will not come back when I’m in the area. The service was great. The staff answered all the questions I had and didn’t make me feel rushed. If I was giving stars off of service alone! I would give it five stars. However, the real reason you are reading this review is for the food not the service. So lets discuss what you truly care about. For the meat I ordered 1/2 lb chicken, 1/4 lb sliced turkey. The chicken was dry with a rub that somehow did not have a bunch of flavor. I literally dipped it in their house BBQ sauce to give it some flavor. The sliced turkey was dry but did have a bit more of the smokey flavor that I would have liked on the chicken. Overall I walked out smelling more like BBQ smoke than actually tasting the smoky flavor of BBQ! For the sides I had the mac and cheese, cole slaw, fries, fried okra, and two slices of white bread. The mac and cheese were noodles with a cheese sauce and bacon mixed in. Not worth the 2.50 but a filler if you want to get full fast. Cole slaw was your normal mixture that could have come from the corner market. The fried okra was frozen okra that they basically threw in some grease and fried up real quick. You could have gotten more flavor just by adding some salt when the okra came out of the fryer. French fries I should have known to skip since they were sitting in a pan under the heat lamp. But I am a sucker for potatoes. Wrong, keep the fries and go for the baked potato if you want to have a spud from Hutchins. Believe me the baked potato looked much better than the fries tasted. The white bread was like all other white breads in BBQ restaurants. For dessert they had peach cobbler and banana pudding. I should have had dessert for dinner. The peach cobbler had a decent crust and the banana pudding had a good banana cookie ratio. I am more prone to say go for the dessert than for their food. You at least get as much as you want of that when you dine in. I am disappointed but will not give up on Texas BBQ just yet. I have tried BBQ from Memphis, KC, and Texas. So far Texas has been the one to let me down. However, I will continue to look for a place when I come back to make me a believer of all the hype for Texas BBQ. If you are a Texan and have suggestions please let me know. I would love to try it out!

The Fried Turkey Sandwich Shop – Menu with Prices – 132 Person St, Fayetteville

We decided to give them a try for lunch and it was outstanding. I had the buffalo turkey wrap with fried okra and kids the grilled cheese with seasoned fries. All enjoyed the food. The establishment is a bit small for the crowd there. The place was busy, but not too packed for lunch. Very friendly staff. VERY. large sandwich selection. Everything here is fresh well prepared. The fried okra is a must. I am not a huge fan of turkey or even sandwiches, but this place is the exception — all of their sandwiches are great and I think they have the best fried okra of anywhere.

Ms. B’s Southern Soul Food – Menu with Prices – 676 St Andrews Rd, Columbia

There were not a lot of reviews but we decided to try Ms. B’s anyway. The food was delicious, staff friendly, restaurant and restrooms were clean. I had the turkey wings, Mac & cheese, cabbage, rice & gravy, and corn bread. My husband also had the turkey wings, but with black eye peas and Mac & cheese as his sides with the rice and gravy and cornbread. The turkey wings were seasoned well and falling off the bone. They were so good we overate and split another plate between the three of us. My son had the fried chicken and enjoyed it too. The vegetables were good too. On our extra plate we had the fried okra as a different side. We’re new to the Elgin/Columbia area and are happy we’ve found a restaurant with great food, portions, and service.

La’Kens World Catering & Delights-Soul Food – Menu with Prices – 625 W Capitol Ave, Little Rock

I was a bit torn between 3 – 4 stars. If I could I’d give them a 3.5/5 stars. This is a new place in Cabot that specializes in Catering but also has dine-in service. The dining area is very small but has a very Mom & Pop feel to it. Our waiter was a very polite young man who was great and seemed genuinely devoted to making sure our experience was flawless. He gets 5 Stars without a doubt!! On to the Food: So I ordered the 2 Meat & 2 Sides (Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Baked Mac N’ Cheese, and Baked Beans w/ Ground Beef). – The Meatloaf was great however the ketchup was very tart. The Fried Chicken was absolutely perfect. Great flavor and steaming hot. The Baked Beans with ground beef were amazing and my favorite part of my meal. The Baked Mac N’ Cheese was a disappointment. Basically Noodles with cheese baked on. It lacked flavor and was very bland. For $15 I felt my meal was a tad overpriced and since I didn’t finish the large portion of the Mac N’ Cheese I walked away a bit hungry still. My piece of chicken and meatloaf were both a bit on the smaller side. My wife had the Fried Chicken w/ Fried Okra and Baked Mac N’ Cheese. She shared my opinion on the Mac N’ Cheese, also very bland. The Fried Okra and Chicken were spot on delicious. Her meal was more appropriately priced (around $10). I’m definitely planning on another visit to try some other items on their menu. Weighing the pro’s & con’s I still think this place is a great addition to Cabot. I think they will do well here.

Da Catch Fish & Chicken – Menu with Prices – 4410 Charles St #6256, Rockford

Da Catch seems to be a franchise, I’ve seen them in other cities, but I couldn’t find any info on that. There are a few locations in Rockford, IL, which is where I bumped into them. Fried fish is the specialty of the house. They also feature wings, tenders, and Philly cheese steaks, as well as bulk orders on the fish and shrimp, and a few other fried sides choices. I grabbed a catfish “meal” which comes with 3-4 fillets, french fries, and I got a side of fried okra for an additional charge. I’m gonna guess the fish is dusted with lemon pepper, seems to be a thing around these parts. The breading was seasoned corn meal and not overbearing. Fries were good, so was the okra. At under $10, it’s a good value. The restaurants are “simple trappings,” seems like they are more geared to drive thru/pick up service than dine in, but there are tables. There are multiple locations in Rockford.

Moe’s Original BBQ – Huntsville – Menu with Prices – 127 Holmes Ave NW, Huntsville

I literally just finished eating at Moes downtown. I ordered the chicken wings, first bite was bloody, not pink…bloody! I told one of the girls and then a gentleman from the kitchen came over and asked me if he could get me something else. They never offered to give me my money back. I told him I would take the sliced turkey instead. He brought over some sliced turkey and a paper container with no sauce just four pieces of sliced turkey, so I asked for sauce. Then I overheard one of the kitchen guys Say the â??Fâ? word very loudly. Then another bartender/cook was running around asking everyone if they had baby powder because he was chafing. The gentleman who brought me the sliced turkey came by and to asked me if the turkey was better than the wings and I mentioned that at least it wasnâ??t raw, he just laughed and went on. I would never expect this from this particular restaurant. Iâ??ve eaten at Moes for years! Very disappointed!!!!!!

Tender Smokehouse Frisco – Menu with Prices – 4226 Preston Rd, Frisco

I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. You order at the front and take a number and pick a seat. The wait was not too long, probably waited 15 minutes only. Your number is for them to locate you to bring you your order. You can order the liquor up front and they give you these poker chips to go up to the bar and pay with. Or you start a tab at the bar yourself and order your own drinks. The ambiance and the service are excellent here. The bartenders were all so sweet and always checked in on us. The manager came over and asked us how everything was going. It’s much appreciated when the people who work there are so kind and like being there. Came here early on a Friday night 5pm and they had live music! What a treat. Now on to the reason we all come here, bbq! Had the jalapeño cheese smoked sausage- cut thin but was good. Pork ribs were fall off the bone. Brisket was moist as we preferred. Then had the Steiner, which was not on the menu. Seems like a secret menu item. It includes Mac and cheese with burnt ends on top. I loved everything. This is a good competitor with our favorite, Hutchins. I may like Hutchins a tad bit more for the no-frills type of place but I do love the ambience and the fact that there is a bar here at Tender. They have only beer and wine (no hard liquor). All Texas beers on tap! I’m not a beer drinker but there were plenty of flavored blonde ales for me. The st Arnold orange show and deep Ellum summer were both light and citrusy. I love that they give you buttered toast here! We will most likely be back!

Church’s Chicken – Menu with Prices – 4780 E 13th St N, Wichita

Quick take: One of the best national chain fried chicken restaurants. No reason to eat the trash the colonel is slinging. Unlike Donna G. I’ll be reviewing the food, not whether or not this particular place takes coupons. I mean give me a break! Anyway, it’s probably been 25 years since I last had Church’s. Popeye’s has done a commendable job in taking its place because we all know KFC is wack. KFC’s chicken is greasy, their sides are bland and fake, and their biscuits are the worst. Popeye’s has delicious sides and sauces and we all know their biscuits are the bomb. However, Church’s has always held a special place in my heart. Besides my grandma’s homemade chicken, it was the fried chicken I grew up eating. I was excited to see a location was opening up in Wichita. Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a 3-piece mixed, spicy (of course) with a side of okra and a biscuit. That chicken was every bit as good as I remember it. Big pieces fried up nice and crispy and very little grease. The meat was juicy and had just the right kick of spice. Okra was very good. Crunchy breading and not soggy at all. Last but not least was the biscuit. So good! I honestly thought Popeye’s had the best biscuits on the market but these are hands down my favorite. They’re drop style so they’ve got that craggy exterior to catch the honey butter glaze they put on them. A side and dessert all in one, no extra butter needed! If you’re looking for some high quality, tasty chicken, Church’s has you covered.

Ray’s Smokehouse BBQ Menu with Prices 2817 Deans Bridge Rd, Augusta

I was just in the area visiting my friend and wanted BBQ for lunch. Googled and this came up. Although it was empty when I pulled up, I ordered everything (almost)!! I haven’t have BBQ in a while so I had to be greedy and try everything!! Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, mac & cheese, fried okra, hash and rice and banana pudding for dessert. Oh and I didn’t forget the sweet tea!! I wasn’t disappointed at all. If your ever in Augusta stop here and eat this man’s AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS BBQ!!! I wasn’t disappointed! Stop in and even challenge him to a game of bones or bid wiz!! ð???

Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken – Menu with Prices – 730 S Mendenhall Rd, Memphis

Gus’s is one of those iconic Memphis spots that every tourist flocks to. Being one of those said tourists, I naturally had to stop by. Instead of visiting the downtown location though, my friends and I came here instead. There’s lots of parking and seating so no wait for dinner, wooo!!! We started off sharing the Fried Okra. Soft, yet crunchy and coated in batter that was fried but didn’t make you feel sick from all the oil, the okra was delicious! We gobbled it right up. One of my friends and I split the Half Chicken and Mac & Cheese. I ate the dark pieces and they were tasty! Whenever it felt too oily, I’d just use the white bread to suck up all the oil, easy! The Mac & Cheese was surprisingly tasty too. An elevated, but still humble Kraft-like Mac & Cheese, just what we wanted in between bites of chicken. Although the food didn’t feel too heavy while we were eating, it definitely expanded in our bellies and we were super full on the drive home. I’m no fried chicken connoisseur, but Gus’s is super tasty and worth the hype!

Hart’s Fried Chicken – Menu with Prices – 830 Dauphin Island Pkwy, Mobile

I want d some good chicken after the game and looked on Yelp and found this place. It looks like it was an old Krystal’s. Their menu is pretty simple and to the point. Ms. Antionette was very helpful from the back! I ordered the 6 piece wings with fried okra, coleslaw and a side of the liver and rice. The chicken had a good crispy outside and on the inside was juicy and you can taste the flavor all the way through. The seasoning wasn’t over powering and the breading was very light. The fried okra was good but the liver and rice surprised me a lot. I thought it would have been fried livers on the side but they do theirs different. They include the liver, rice and gravy all in one! If I knew it was going to be that good, I would have ordered a bigger one. This is a great place to stop and get some of the best fried chicken in the gulf!

Hot Cluckers – Menu with Prices – 1450 E Sunshine St, Springfield

I’m 75 years old and have been around the world and have eaten the best to the worst food in the world. I was drawn in by the name and the advertising. Today, my sister and I went to try the chicken and catfish that I really love. The service was quick and the folks were friendly but the food, I could only give them maybe one star. I don’t know how you can take perfectly good food and turn it into something that is hardly eatable. They use a brown sugar coating on the catfish, something that I have never heard of. One could have just salt, maybe some pepper and cornmeal and had a good taste. The chicken is something on the same order. I had the cole slaw, which is a rip because you only get a very small container, it was okay but just okay. The fried okra was okay as any okra that comes out of a frozen box of okra. The fried dill pickles were okay if you like fried dill pickles. I was in hopes that this would get my repeat business but I will not go there again. I repeat that the folks were very nice and friendly and food was served quickly. But, I just think they have the wrong idea of coating to make this a business that will last. I was very disappointed to say the least. For 2 people, it was about $20 bucks without a drink. I’m sorry but I’ll only give them a few months to stay in business. Ray Cunningham, Springfield. If you want great catfish, at a reasonably price, go to old truck stop that was called 7 Gables.

Angie’s Fish and Wings – Menu with Prices – 5015 S Sheridan Rd, Tulsa

Had lunch here with a coworker today. This location used to be Sam’s Southern Eatery and while the name has changed, the menu looks very familiar. The building is old and could use some TLC as it is rather run down, but I came for the food not the ambience. I ordered the 3 Fish, 3 Shrimp platter which came with two sides. I opted for half fried, half grilled with fried okra and red beans & rice. My friend ordered a 10 piece BBQ wings with fries and okra. Being lunchtime it was rather busy and our orders came out in about 20 minutes. The portions are very generous as my fish and shrimp came on one plate, while the okra was in a basket of it’s own and the beans and rice in a small bowl. The grilled fish and shrimp was delicious and had a savory seasoning. It was so good I finished that before moving on to the fried portions. The fried….two fillets and 2 huge shrimp. Mmm good. My friends wings also looked great. He was hesitant to come here, but left satisfied. Give this place a try. While the decor is lacking, the food makes up for it……and if that’s not enough, you won’t leave hungry.
