“As far as Awesome Fried Chicken goes, this is the place! They have 1 product that they specialize in, and that’s CHICKEN! It never tastes like old oil! Always fresh! So fresh, in fact, that if you are in a hurry, call ahead for the gizzards. It takes a few minutes to fry them! The chicken is as great as the people who prepare it! William’s Chicken for Life!”

“First time here and it was amazing. The chicken had flavor & was fried to perfection. Its sooo crunchy. The sides are good. Corn fritters are my fave. And the sweet tea was decently sweet. Will be back.”
