Fried Chicken
I don't think I've ever felt chicken this crispy in my life before. It's like shattered. Have you ever heard chicken crunch like that? The crunch on this fried chicken is preposterous. It's got a glass-like shell that shatters when you bite through it, and the chicken gives way to bursts with moisture and flavor.
Biscuit with Butter and Saw Gum
The biscuit with butter and saw gum is so good, man. Pure comfort.
Mash and Gravy
The gravy is delicious. It feels like it just brings up the flavor of everything else as well. It's not just a flavor unto itself — it's elevating the entire experience.
Chicken Fried Steak
The chicken fried steak is exactly that — a steak fried like fried chicken. So good. You can see why people keep coming back again and again.
Catfish
Perfectly fried catfish. A Texan staple. I'm going to have some tartar sauce with it. That's amazing. Everything is just fire in it.
