“ The only flaw is this place not having indoor seating. But everything else was top notch. The sandwiches and fries are sublime! The service, impeccable! The look and feel of the place and its branding is beautiful and modern. You gotta come here if you're in Downtown SLC! ”
“ Great food, but pricey for what you get. I love spice, but be were that "hot" is hotter than your typical hot. This place has the best crinkle cut fries I have ever had. ”
“ Great Chicken, fast service, great seating as long as it is warm, no indoor seating...lol! Really enjoyed the taste and the sauces were fantastic too! ”
“ This place is legit. I am only giving it 4 because it has no indoor seating. Best hot chicken I have had. But I am not an expert on hot chicken The dude working the window was super nice. ”
“ This is one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Big portion and ready very fast. ”
“ The chicken sandwiches here are yummy but pricey. There is hardly any service at this location as you order to-go at a window and then wait to get your order. The chicken sandwich I got was mostly tasty, but not worth the price tag, and I also had one bite that was kind of gross; there was like a chicken lymph node or something like that. It was definitely a weird part. There is very limited seating in the outside picnic bench area, so be aware if you want to come with a lot of people; it's also fully outside seating so if the weather is bad, you might need to order the food to-go and then find someplace else to eat the food. It's truly a casual to-go spot. ”
“ Discovered this restaurant online when looking for must try restaurants in Salt Lake City. Specializes in jumbo Nashville style hot fried chicken. To go ordering concert with some outdoor seating available. Order online to beat the lines, or order from the outside facing kiosk. When your food is ready, they'll call out to you or bring it out. About 10 min wait after ordering. Food was delivered to where I was sitting and I was impressed by the size and presentation of the fried chicken sandwich. Fried chicken sandwich consists of boneless chicken thigh, Pretty Bird cider slaw, pickles, and Pretty Bird sauce, on a buttered bun. Nice color contrast of the brown chicken and bun vs the purple slaw. One bite in and it was juicy and packed with flavor. Opted for mild as I'm not a spicy boy but the chicken was still very well seasoned. Slaw and pickles helped cut the fried chicken. Mexican street corn salad on the side which I actually saved for later. It was a late night snack with a well balance of corn to cheese ratio. ”
“ The perfect crispiness in the chicken and fries The fried chicken sandwich is HUGE! The spice levels are pretty tame. We got mild spicy, and it was reallllyyyy mild, so if you can handle heat, def bump it up! They also had a Mexican slaw that was refreshing and a good mix to the fried foods. You order on an iPad outside, and then pick up the food from a pick-up window. All seating is outside. ”
