Chicken Guy! — Restaurant in Gardendale

Ah, a big time celebrity food joint in the booming metropolis of Gardendale! Inside the Walmart no less. That screams classy!

So we were curious and stepped in. This .."location" has been the home of a Checkers, and at one point, a McDonald's. The layout hasn't changed. Small, cramped, not really much room to sit down and enjoy a meal, especially when customers bring in their buggies.

My daughter and I were curious about the "special sauce", so wanted to try it. Looking at the menu, we were rapidly unimpressed with the selection, as well as the prices. We decided to get the "2 piece" kids tenders. 2 tenders, a small handful of fries, and a small drink. $6.49! We also wanted to try the Triple Double Mint shake...$6.99 for maybe a 16 ounce cup? The service was good. Cashier was friendly, full of smiles. You order, you pay, they get your name and call you when the food is done. Amidst having to move around the people that we're waiting, we got our order in relatively good time. A few minutes later, the shake was ready. The shake was pretty good! The food... Well, again. Two chicken tenders, and some fries. The fries somehow managed to be bland and flavorful at the same time. Ketchup helped! However, as soon as they start cooling down, they get tough. The 2 tenders were good, but not for that price! The special sauce? Honestly not bad, But rather similar to other places that serve chicken. Or the yum yum sauce you find in a Japanese steakhouse.. So... for $15 bucks for a 2 piece tender kids meal and a shake... we'll stick to one of the other half dozen, non-celebrity priced carnival...

Their food taste like crap their chicken sandwich doesn’t need all the crap on it guacamole lettuce coleslaw on it all we asked for is lettuce and tomato cheese like a chicken sandwich should be and y’all trying to make it look good but y'all not thinking oh it taste like crap after the chicken did not have no taste or anything. How about when your customers ask for a chicken sandwich just with lettuce and tomato cheese mayo do it next time. Instead putting all that other bull crap on it. Cause that was bad sandwiches Very awful food it was cold! Do...

Took my wife here because I truly enjoy the food but i don't know who was working tonight but they butchered the whole order. Ask for 3 grilled chicken tenders and for some reason they threw a whole pile on sauce coated slaw on top of it, didn't add any slow to the #2 I ordered and gave the wrong sauce. I've never seen it so rough. The crew who worked on Monday 9/15/25 handled things so much better than the crew on 9/16/25. More training needs to happen there. It wasn't even...
