Food - chicken was bottom tier chicken, whoever their supplier is must just be the cheapest they can have supply them. Can't get any seasoning or flavors to try on the side, which sucks when trying different heat ranges. Daves sauce isn't anything different than any other restaurant that sells chicken. They have a good seasoning on the fries that I thought would be nice on the chicken but again, they don't do any seasoning or sauce on the side. Seasoning is very similar to fuzzy dust iykyk. For 17$ just go across the street... read more

Tastes like fried pickle bounce dat ahh. They put "seasoning" on things that makes it look majestic but has no flavor. Daves sauce taste like watery mustard. Canes on top. Canes better. Canes live it up.

Only one dipping sauce available, and no ranch dressing? Plus, the place is noisy, all hard surfaces, nothing to help cut the noise of loud conversations from adjacent tables.

If I could I would give this place 0 star...... I'm very disappointed from today's experience. I had only ordered a milkshake and a number one I got my milk shake fast but it took over 30min to receive my food. And my friend who got the number 4 got there food before which makes no sence since my food is so easy to make and even other people got there food before when they had ordered after me I am very very displeased from this experience and I am missing my fries. I can't believe I waited 30 min for my order and end up mi... read more

I had lunch here with my daughter and the illustrious Peter P. I agree with his review that you couldn't tell the difference between the medium and the extra mild. Also, the "extra mild" was pretty darn spicy. I have a feeling our order was messed up and they gave us medium for both. Our order was wrong, like really wrong. We were supposed to have one extra mild tenders meal with fries, one sandwich meal with slaw, and one additional extra mild tender for the kiddo. They failed to give us the extra tender (they checked ... read more

Meh. The Medium wasn't even the slightest bit hot. It tasted. Exactly like the Extra Mild. And the milkshake was just sad. I expected hand-scooped ice cream and a blender. What I got would have made McDonald's proud. My vanilla shake came straight out of a machine behind the cash register. I'm a bit of a Nashville hot chicken aficionado, and this place is near the bottom of the pecking order. They only serve chicken 2 ways: chicken sandwich or chicken tenders. There's no bone-in option.

Service was wonderful! The restaurant was super clean and the wait wasn't too bad at all. I was just not a fan of the flavors. But that is subjective so if you want to try Indy's hot chicken offerings then add this to your list. If you like dry rub, ignore my post. This is the place for you! There is layer upon layer, upon layer, upon layer of dry rub packed with chili powder covering this chicken. Not a dusting, this powder is layers deep! French fries were good. Seems like they also season the fries with a dry rub tha... read more
