“Let me begin by saying that good gas station fried chicken is among my favorites, and the Sunny Mart has the best fried chicken around. You won't find fancy sides, but they have potato wedges in both seasoned and natural options, homemade coke slaw and fried okra. They also serve fried livers and gizzards. It is always clean here. There are a few tables in the corner available to sit and eat. The windows and vents are always free of dust and debris...which is more than I can say for some restaurants! The kitchen staff isn't always the friendliest, but they do prepare delicious food. And it's obvious they work hard.The Sunny Mart is definitely worth a stop while passing through Nichols.”
