After growing up eating this wonderful fried chicken, in recent days, like today, I had a hankering for Maryland fried chicken and chicken livers. It was always a family thing to get this chicken whenever we got together,but I would have to say that those WERE the good old days. This evening when I got the speaker in the drive thru to order, I tried to order a 2 piece meal which included 2 sides (as always). When I informed her I wanted cole slaw and fries, she stopped me and said, "10 Piece Dinner but the fries will cost you more?" Again I tried to order this simple meal via the speaker. She got frustrated at me and told me to drive to the window. There were three cars ahead of me. As you can see, this didnt go very well as my food would have been ready had she just taken my order over the speaker. So, while I used to think they had great chicken and livers, I just cant go through that much frustration just for chicken. KFC got my business tonight and I hope they either close this Maryland Fried Chicken or get it back to a good place to eat. Its a shame that its gotten this bad and the owner should be ashamed. For those who grew up in Winter Garden and remember those days, let them know how bad it is by writing all you can when you can about this restaurant.

I went for lunch here last week. There were a couple of people sitting in eating. Thought I would ask the one guy eating chicken livers...how were they. He replied that it was okay. Just have to tell them not to fry it hard. I ordered wings and a roll and corn cob. The chicken was okay but the corn cob they dropped in the deep fryer. That (corn) was the worst thing ever. When I bit into it, nothing but grease filled my mouth. Stay the hell away from the corn. The chicken was okay. And I mean just okay. They look a bit unsanitary though. One girl waited on a supplier, bending down to retrieve a check book, wrote the check, mushed her hair back and continued to take cash and serve food without washing her hands. They let their hair flow all over the place. Well, needless to say, I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. I would rather that the health inspector go in and give them a thorough going over!

My mother likes the chicken here however it was our first time ordering sides. When we opened the mashed potatoes there was a sour spoiled smell. I went back for a refund and the African American woman in the drive thru scoffed at me and slammed the window in my face. I got the refund for the potatoes but the service will now turn my mother away for good. My mother went in to try to talk to the women about the food and that money wasnt the issue. Serving bad food should be more important. All three of the African American women behind the counter started laughing and acting like hyenas it seemed no matter how polite you are or how reasonable you were trying to be they were purposefully being confrontational. I would recommend a different location or not go at all because the food is horrible as well as the customer service.

I always order drive-thru and even though the food is outstanding, the service is anything but. If you wish to order to-go, your best bet is to call ahead. Their order processing is very antiquated and you will be waiting a while for your food to be ready. In fact, during one visit, the order didnt get sent to the kitchen until I pulled up to the window, after having already waited quite a few minutes for the customer in front of me to get their order.

This place has the BEST fried chicken. Nothing like soggy kfc, this chicken is always fresh and is not overloaded with grease or seasoning. Its just right :) The mac n cheese is a little bland, but good nonetheless. I love the fries and other sides too! Great little place, looks a little run down from the outside but it truely is a gem and one of a kind place... Look forward to going back (many more times)!

I remember this place since Colonial Drive with two lanes through here! Brings you back in time to sit here and have what I would call traditional Fried Chicken. Leave It To The Culinary experts to try to rape this delicious chicken for anything other than just delicious chicken, that I can assure you its a comfortable place to come and enjoy a good meal.

Maybe I went on an off day but I just dont get all the reviews about this being such great food. Potatoes were...Im not even sure, what they were... served with a tasteless gravy that was black in color. The chicken was really dry, incredibly overcooked. Service was fine people seemed nice enough but I dont know what was up with the food.

Its hard to find one now but found this one out traveling and boy was it good. This location has been open over 50 years and I can see why. This is one of the few chicken places that pressure cooker in peanut oil so the flavor doesnt stop at the skin. Very delicious and you will nibble it all off the bone its that good.

Love they have new management there now. Seems the place is getting better all the time. They now offer a two for Tuesday which is great and a vip card. Chicken is really tasty and you can tell the sides are made fresh each day

Chicken is good. Love that is cooked in peanut oil which gives extra flavor. Coleslaw seems to always be a few days old pushing on expiration. And now they started charging .69 for refills. :/ Guess I wont be coming back.

Food here is good but the service sucks. They keep screwing up our orders. If you dont mind wasting your life by having to go back and having them get your order right then you should go here!
