No frills. No fuss. Just food.

01

Hand-breaded daily

Every piece of chicken gets dredged in our buttermilk-spice mix the morning of. None of it sits.

02

From a real grandma

The biscuit recipe came off an index card from grandma Iris. We didn't change a thing.

03

Family-sized portions

If you can finish the family meal alone, your photo goes on the wall. Three people have done it. We're watching you.

Our story.

We started as a six-stool lunch counter inside our parents' hardware store. The chicken was the side; the hardware was the business. We sold the hardware store and the chicken's been the business ever since — three locations, one menu, same as day one.
