Indi's did not disappoint as my first and only taste of Kentucky fried chicken.
Out of courtesy, we called ahead to warn them that we had a large order coming, but they didn't take orders over the phone (and hung up on my friend).
I noticed that most patrons come to order takeout, and we did the same. As you walk inside, you're immediately met with a large menu and glass counter with all their chicken and sides on display. There is a small window where they hand you the food, but you're speaking to the staff behind the glass. There were only two of them - one did the assembling, another took our cash. There was a steady stream of people hungry for chicken.
The sides didn't look incredibly appetizing, but I'm told by a regular that the broccoli casserole is good. After some serious math-ing, my friends and I ordered a few of the family packs (chicken only) and wedges. You have three options for chicken: spicy, mild, and regular. Let me save you the trouble: spicy is the way to go. For some reason, the skin was crispier and it was all much juicier than the regular. It's got a kick, naturally but is totally tolerable and worth it.
The wedges are giant. Forget everything you've ever known about wedges. I'd venture to say that there is straight-up half a potato in a single wedge. These are long wedges, my friends.
The chicken and wedges were so delicious, but if you care about service, I had a few gripes: Not being able to order over the phone It would have been easier with more menu options (like a family bucket of 30+ pieces, colonel style), but we made it work Presentation of sides wasn't great The staff were friendly but had a hard time putting our order together The server nearly tried to give us all tiny baby wings until we protested, but I think he was new. We wanted some legs, man. We had to ask for ketchup and napkins
Oh, and it's cash only.
We inhaled our chicken by the waterfront and our group of 13 was pleased and their bellies were full. It came out to around $6 a person, which was...
Read moreThis is my last review because I will never go to restaurant again. It's ashame because I really like the food, but the way the customers are treated is awful. On my last visit in town from Florida last weekend I wanted to get some chicken and went to this restaurant. Walked to first door, locked no sign to indicate why. Only one door on far end was open (Potential Fire hazard as I entered there were about 20 people standing waiting for food, no chairs or tables. Nothing but an ATM. They had 3 workers behind a bullet proof glass. They moved the cashier register to the order window and demanded we pay before they filled the order. I said this is different. Because they take the longest time to fill the order. So the people are trapped to wait because they all ready paid for their food. One person got tired of waiting and requested her money back and was told if they already prepared it she couldn't get her money. So the cashier went to the back and her order magically appeared. This caused a chain reaction from the people who ordered prior to that customer. One customer ask to use the restroom and was told it was broken down(this restaurant room has been broken down for more than 10 years now). SO MANY VIOLATIONS, THE CITY SHOULD SHUT THIS RESTAURANT DOWN.
It was too much for me for I refuse to be treated like a criminal and served unfairly.
INDI'S YOU GOTT TO DO BETTER. STOP TREATING US LIKE THAT. THE OTHER INDI'S RESTAURANTS ARE NOT LIKE THIS.
How dare you demand payment before filing the order. You treat your customers so bad. If this place is unsafe, do what other local restaurants do and hire security.
You will never get another red cent from me until some changes are made. No chairs, no tables, no restroom, no open doors, no...
Read moreTHE CUSTOMERS: Just myself for lunch on a weekday
THE LOCATION: The location is right on 3rd Street next to McDonalds and Thornberry's.
FIRST IMPRESSION: Okay neighborhood with some fast food restaurants around it. The place is not much to look at from the outside but better looking than some of the fast food places around it. It's very clean on the inside though and the service from the ladies behind the counter is great.
THE SELECTION: The chicken is extremely delicious. Fresh, juicy and lots of flavor. As I am reviewing this one though, I wanted something new so I tried their fried fish sandwich. As you can see from the picture, the sandwich is huge. They have a lot of items here though including chicken, ribs, wings and fish. I heard their cobbler is good too but have not had the chance to try it.
THE PRICE: The price came out to be $6.50 for the sandwich, a side and a large drink.
THE FOOD: The fish was very good! Very large portion and went well with Indi's Hot sauce.
OVERALL: I have been going back at least once every two weeks. I would recommend this place to my friends for lunch or dinner. If you are reading this, I think you should...
