New Orleans Crispy Chicken — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

I have always had a great experience with this place! The owner (or I assume he is) is always friendly, will have a good conversation if wanted. Fried corn on the cob is amazing 🤩 always great prices! (I already ate most of my food - then decided to take a photo).
