Fried Chicken is comfort food for me so of course I would gravitate to a restaurant that’s all about fried chicken. Their chicken is way more authentic than Popeye’s. Their Caribbean seasoning is even more authentic than some of the nearby restaurants who have been serving their landmark dish for much more longer than this restaurant has been open. I have been here more times than I would like to admit and have only had their chicken which is consistently great, extra crunchy and seasoned just right! If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend that you come in and try an order of fried chicken paired with some their simple and delicious rice & peas and a spoonful of their macaroni salad which seems to get better and each time that I eat it! Oh but we can’t forget about the sauce which is superb! It’s sweet yet savory taste compliments their fried chicken wonderfully without distracting from the crunchiness of the chicken. I like my small orders covered in it but on the side with large orders… just my preference. Yes, the sauce is available for purchase separately. Disclaimer: (1) You might find yourself waiting an unnecessary amount of time for an new batch of chicken to be fried or for your order to be delivered via your preferred food delivery company. (2) Chicken is only available in dark meat that is mostly skinless.

Bay House Bistro – Menu with Prices – 574 Bay St, Staten Island

So because my friend loves the beef and broccoli from this restaurant I decided to come with her. I ordered the lunch special chicken and broccoli with pork fried rice, the chicken was like rubber which could not be chewed. The waiter was attentive and said he would make me a fresh portion of the chicken. The pork fried rice was very good as well as the egg roll the lunch special came with. Sadly the new portion of chicken was also like rubber. 2 days later I decided to give it another try and ordered sweet and sour chicken I was surprised to see the chicken covered in sauce considering most places put it on the side. No big deal since it was much better than the chicken with broccoli option. Very nice staff seems empty to dine it but many take out orders for delivery.

Red Light Café Menu with Prices 800 S State St, Ann Arbor

Went with my friend and asked for 2 orders of loaded fries with fried chicken. Their board says loaded fries with your choice of meat are $6.99. I somehow paid $18 for two orders of fries so PLEASE explain that math to me RedLight Rotisserie. To add to this horrible experience, we received only one (1) order of fries which were covered in tinfoil (so we couldn’t see the inside) and told that this was the equivalent of 2 orders. We asked for two different sauces in the 2 different orders, so right away I knew we were going to have a problem. I cannot put into words how thoroughly disappointed we were once we opened them. First, we were given sweet potato fries instead of regular fries. Second, there were no toppings on the “loaded fries,” and this includes the fact that we didn’t even get fried chicken. Third, you guessed it, we only got one sauce. The fact that I somehow spent $18 on this experience is going to give me nightmares for weeks. Please please PLEASE save your money and go to one of the countless good places to eat in Ann Arbor so you can avoid this mistake.

Dumpling Darling – Menu with Prices – 212 E 3rd St, Des Moines

I took my two adult children to lunch here as weâ??ve been hearing good things. I ordered a side of fried Brussels sprouts with Korean BBQ sauce which was an adequate portion to be shared by 3 or 4 people. I also ordered a small size (5) Leslie Lamb steamed dumplings. The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfect consistency and the sauce for me was just right- covered without being overbearing and diminishing the crunch. The dumplings were so delicious with great flavor. My daughter had the Hoisin Pork Bao (2 large sized) and the fried Mac and Cheese dumplings and loved both. My son had a side of edamame ( choices of spicy or sea salt) and the avocado crab Rangoon fried dumplings. He enjoyed the dumplings but did say for His preference the side sweet and sour sauce lacked much flavor( he likes spicy foods). Our meal was $33 minus tip. Great value as I took home a take out box with a meal of sides and 1 steamed dumpling leftover. The door to the restaurant is left open and there was a pesky fly that visited our table throughout the meal which was a tad annoying. Service was friendly yet I could have used a return visit during the meal for more water. (I didnâ??t ask and we were checked on after our food was delivered). We all found many options we could have ordered and based on our enjoyment of todayâ??s selections we wouldnâ??t have been disappointed.

The Port Of Peri Peri – Menu with Prices – 3283 Walnut Ave, Fremont

As someone who has always wanted to go to Nandos (but has never been), I was pretty excited to see this restaurant pop up in Fremont that serves similar things – Chicken and peri peri sauce. I was in the area for an optometrist appointment and found this place on Yelp. I’ve lived in Fremont for 23 years and was wondering when a restaurant like this would open where you can get good protein (chicken) and a side of rice AND also be a order at the counter and sit down type of restaurant. My girlfriend and I ordered the All For One platter with mild sauce (1/2 chicken plus 3 wings & a side) to share. Got 2 orders of Cassava Fries as the side Portions: Chicken was bone in so there wasn’t as much meat as I wanted. Fries are on the smaller side in small side bowl but they are very thick. Wings are small but definitely pack flavor. I have a big appetite so I probably could have ate more chicken since I shared the platter with my girlfriend. So if you are hungry and have two people, maybe opt for something more than the All For One Platter. Taste: The chicken wasn’t dry, especially if you get it with sauce. The 1/2 chicken came with white and dark meat. The dark meat wasn’t dry at all, and even the white meat was cooked well. The peri peri sauce had a slight tang to it but was still slightly spicy and sweet. It was delicious in my opinion. They also had bottles of the peri peri sauce on the side counter that you could bring to your table. There was also a white sauce bottle which was some garlic sauce but it tasted a little like ranch. What I did was mix both the white sauce and orange sauce and it was delicious, dunking my chicken and fries into it. Wings were great, and again dunking it in the white garlic sauce and the peri peri made them even better. Cassava fries were a great alternative to regular fries. They are a bit dry but were salted nicely and fried well, and along with the sauce you don’t notice the dryness at all. I would gladly get the cassava fries again if I wanted to skip out on the carbs from regular potato fries. Verdict: If I still lived in Fremont, I would come here at least once a week! Next time I would have to try the tenders and rice combo since I’m not the biggest fan of bone-in chicken (but it was still tasty here).

BBQ Chicken – Menu with Prices – 56 Whitney Ave, New Haven

New Haven is definitely stepping up it’s Korean fried chicken game with BBQ Chicken! I’ve previously heard about it as a popular Korean chain and am pretty thrilled at its location choice. +CHEESELING (4.5/5): Korean fried chicken is definitely a breed on its own (compared to American fried chicken). While I can’t speak for authenticity, I definitely enjoyed this take. It’s pretty crispy and there isn’t a thick batter. The cheeseling denotes the cheesy powder on the chicken, which reminds me of Kraft mac & cheese powder (not a bad thing!). It can be a bit much if this is the only thing you’re eating though. (This only comes in boneless by the way!) +KIMCHI FRIED RICE (5/5): This was a large portion, and was pretty tasty! I appreciated how the kimchi still had a crunchiness. The egg yoke was oozy and perfect on top of the not-too-spicy and spicy-enough fried rice. -SOY GARLIC (3/5): This was okay. It wasn’t memorable and to be honest, I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t really well coated and the sauce was a little too thick a texture for me (maybe this is normal and I’m just not used to it). I have to admit having it was a good break from the cheeseling though. While the food was good, the service isn’t quite on par. I’m used to eating pickled radish with my Korean fried chicken (love that acidity), but that’s not automatic here so be sure to ask if you’re hoping for that. It’s also just hard to get attention of the staff, whether it is to get water or the check. We also got one dish way ahead of the other, while our fried chicken sat on the counter for way too long (and wasn’t as hot when we got it). Perhaps they just need more staff. Overall, the food was quite tasty and I would return for cheeseling, which I haven’t had anywhere else before. I would also recommend coming in when you’re not in a rush!

Sascee’s Southern Style Eatery – Menu with Prices – 719 S 11th St, Waco

The best southern cooking I’ve had in ages. Their fried chicken is what all fried chicken wishes it could be!!! Portions are large. You order a 1, 2 or 3 meat plate with three sides. When we were there the sides were mashed potatoes (covered in butter, yum), sweet potatoes, collard greens, black eyed peas, corn bread stuffing, cabbage, cheesey broccoli & rice and they bring a basket of cornbread to your table. The meats were ribs, ox tail, meatloaf, baked chicken and FRIED CHICKEN. We didn’t have desert, but I heard someone say cobbler and don’t know what else they offered. The staff were very friendly and service was good. You can eat in or take out. It seemed like a popular place to get take-out after church. This is a very well hidden treasure we found by accident on our way home after Thanksgiving holiday. We will definitely make sure to drive back this way just so we can eat here again.

Yoshi Express – Menu with Prices – 350 N Eastern Blvd #200, Fayetteville

Did lunch here and got the Teriyaki Chicken and a couple of spring rolls. First time visit so I went all out and got an entrée size portion. The chicken was tender and the veggies were cooked just right with a sweet & savory teriyaki sauce on a nice pile of fried rice. The white sauce reminds me of a shrimp sauce, but it was sweeter. Tasty and fast. The folks working here were smiling and friendly. Its a very simple set-up with no frills. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Tacos al Carbón – Menu with Prices – 500 Sebastopol Rd, Santa Rosa

Always on the search for a new and authentic tacos, we decided to try this restaurant for a late afternoon lunch. Located on Sebastopol Road, where you have so many good choices for yummy food, we were delighted to see it is right next door to Frozen Art Ice Cream! Yippee! It was about 3:30 or so when we walked in and there was only one other table filled in a pretty large restaurant, but right behind us walked in two more sets of customers. The dining room is bright and clean. We were instantly greeted and ordered within about 5 minutes. First, the menu is incredibly large with so many different choices. It was very hard to decide what to order! They have a great selection of your standard items you would expect, and also a large fish and vegetarian (healthy option) choices. Hubby went for his typical combo plate when trying a new place – a chili relleno and mole enchilada. I chose a fish taco and shredded chicken taco, because after all, I was there for Tacos! The food came in about 10 minutes. The combo plate was large and looked delicious. I tasted the Chili Relleno and it was unlike what I was used to. It was sort of sweet, maybe with a hint of honey. The chili was fresh as well. The mole sauce was good too, not overly rich and sickening sweet like I have tasted elsewhere. The fish for the taco was grilled (not fried) which was a delight for me as I don’t eat fried food! The shredded chicken taco had a bed of rice, lots of chicken, but the sauce was a little heavy for my taste buds. Both tacos were delicious and filling at $3.25 each. However, my biggest complaint were the tortillas. I don’t expect to eat tacos with a knife and fork, but this is what I had to do. The tortillas are too thin and fell apart the instant I picked up the taco. Not good, so maybe they can work on that for the future. We also ordered guacamole which was good, a little lemony for me, but still fresh and tasty. The two salsas that comes with the chips were both delicious too. So for $28, tax and tip included, we had a very filling meal and want to go back and try other items on the menu. I think this restaurant has plenty to offer everyone! Give it a try!

Bon Appetit Crêperie – Menu with Prices – 1233 N 3rd St, Harrisburg

I’ve been to a couple of crêperie in NJ, and one in Hershey; but Bon Appetit Crêperie has by far the best crepes of them all. The crepes are moist and springy, and the ingredients are fresh. They give generous amount of servings so after one savory crepe, you really don’t have room left for a sweet crepe. So if possible, come with someone to share so you can indulge on more than one kind of crepes!!! I was introduced to this charming little joint at an awesome Yelp event where I got to meet the owners and sample almost a dozen different crepes, both savory and sweet. The owners and their staff all came from out of state and share similar passion and work ethic. And I believe that’s one “ingredient” that make them stand out from the rest! My favorite savory crepe is hands down the Florentine. The filling mainly consists of chicken, spinach, and mushroom, topped with some creamy sauce. Exquisite! My favorite sweet crepe is still the Classic — banana + strawberry + Nutella — as that was how I was introduced to crepes on the streets of Paris. BTW, even though they have specially designed boxes for carryout orders, definitely try to eat there if possible. I’ve taken out crepes, and the savory ones inevitably do get soggy even though they smartly drizzled the sauce inside on the filling instead of outside on the crepes. Now the crêperie desperately needs some serious signage!! In my opinion, neither the sticker logo on the glass door nor the standing chalkboard is going to be enough to draw passerby customers. A signage on top of the awning would go a long way.

Country Sweet Chicken & Ribs – Menu with Prices – 1691 Mt Hope Ave, Rochester

Have I been going to country sweet my whole life … Yes. Have I enjoyed it every single time I have ever been … Yes. Do I think their prices are getting expensive … Yes. Will I still keep going and complain every time … Yes. Country Sweet is phenomenal. Those wings are cooked to perfection and country sweet sauce alone is just delicious. No matter where I go in Rochester I order some type of boss sauce, try it and you will see the reasons why. It’s just good on everything. The mind wing dinner with double wedges is one of my go to. People complain about the macaroni salad and bread but I believe that’s because that these people arent seeing these foods as vessels. The white bread covered in sauce is honestly just wonderful and I’m not sure why everything doesnt come with white bread. The macaroni salad is supposed to be tasteless. It’s used to be covered with sauce and chicken and used because everything else is so flavorful. You just cant go wrong.

Calavera Tacos – Menu with Prices – 5932, 501 S Palafox St, Pensacola

I’ve visited this group of food trucks two years ago when I came to a ballgame, but didn’t try this food truck. I saw the great reviews when I was looking for Mexican/Tex Mex food per my niece’s request. The menu and the pictures looked promising and the ingredients looked fresh. This place was great! I mean superb! I had the paco taco which consisted of mahi mahi fried with Mexican spices topped with serrano cabbage, pickled red onion, cilantro. Topped with southwest cilantro white sauce on a corn tortilla. Wow! It was fantastic. The fish was cooked just right and just enough spice. I ordered it as a combo to get a side of yellow Spanish rice and these fabulous black beans. My husband order the gigante burrito with black beans, rice, pork that they marinate for 13 hours, cheese blend, pico. (He’s not a guac or sour cream fan) but that was legit!! My nephew and bro in law split an order of nachos because it was huge!! Covered in chicken, black beans, cheese, jalapeños… it came with a side of habanero sauce which was hot!!! It was wonderful though!! The prices were way reasonable and the ladies in the truck were super friendly!

Crepe-Madame Catering – Menu with Prices – 160 14th St, San Francisco

Catered crepes sound delicious with just the name, and Crepe Madame definitely did not disappoint! They had 4 staff members each manning 2 crepe stations, so 8 people at time (or well, 8 crepes at the time – for those who order more than one at once :P). Two choices of savory crepes and four sweet crepes on their menu this time. I got the La Tour Eiffel which included 4 pieces of roasted turkey, a generous amount of cheddar cheese, ratatouille (vegetable mix with a hint of spiciness), lemon vinaigrette, spinach and spicy mayo sauce. The other savory crepe was La San Francisco (I love these names!), which looked like the vegetarian option. I’m sure they would also be willing to accommodate custom orders too. I was way too full after the savory crepe to get a sweet one, but I definitely want to try one next time! The staff were super friendly and enthusiastic, making sure to confirm my order and to ask if adding spicy sauce was okay before doing so. They also brought a beautiful chalkboard of their menu today and who doesn’t enjoy pretty chalk work? ? Overall, delicious and super filling lunch!
