Dont pass on this place due to "gas station" stigma. If you pass, you lost a wonderful opportunity, friend. This isn't something like Taco Bell where you're ripping your shorts while praying for mercy. No. Not at all.Krispy Krunchy chicken is where its at! Forget local fast food chains like Popeyes, KFC, Bush's and Raising Canes. Krispy Krumchy has that fried chicken crisp skin, with a VERY juicy/moist interior. With every bite youre reminded how perfectly cooked the chicken is. It's the flavor you've been craving since KFC canceled Popcorn Chicken buckets in the early 2000s.Come in and grab some to eat!!! I'm a bone-in kinda guy, and friend is this a damn good bone. They generally serve both bone-in and tenders. Towards the end of the day only tenders are available but tthey're just as on-point as the bone-in and make for easier dipping or scooping (for sides, mentioned later). No dine-in options, unless you prefer your car or a parking lot without chairs/tables.They offer ketchup and mustard for dressings (not that you need them, the chicken stands on it's own) and also biscuits - extra fluffy! - along with red beans and rice that are miles above normal grub; Mac n cheese which is admittedly not my favorite but has that home/country-style flavor and texture to it (not gritty or nasty, just different); and mashed ppotatoes 'n' gravy (which I feel are just the hidden sauce for your chicken to scoop).My preference is to chase it down with a good lager afterwards. No matter what you order, the food here is great!Atmosphere dinged due to cramped nature and awkwardness of ordering when there's other people in line to checkout for the gas station, order tobacco (and go back and forth) essentials and not Krispy Krinchy Chicken.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot ramp on both ends of the concrete along with a divider ramp midway between all shop fronts.
