We are a full-service restaurant that proudly serves Southern-style, hot and spicy, hand-battered fried chicken. Founded in Mason, Tennessee, our fried chicken recipe dates back to the 1950s. We also offer a variety of Southern-style sides and homemade pies. We would be honored to serve you what GQ Magazine, among many others, has referred to as "the best fried chicken in the world."
