Charles Pan-Fried Chicken

Having been introduced to this spot via a very robust online article where people were raving about this restaurant, I went there with much anticipation!

I enjoyed the fact that a older black gentleman has successfully been in the game for so long! I definitely celebrate him and his restaurant.

The vibe: Twas cool...clearly take out only. The people were nice. except one young cashier lady who we ended getting a smile from. We waited on line but not for long. The process seemed like a well oiled machine. We were in and out in 10 minutes.

The food: This is where I was a tad bit disappointed.

Mac n cheese - needed a bit more seasoning. The texture was cool...the look was amazing. Just didn't taste the way I though it would. 1 to 5 stars. I'd give it a 4.

Greens: Seasoned well. I not a fan of too much salt so this was perfect. I add my hot sauce and kept it moving!

Yams = NO!!! They were bland and like a 1 on the sweet scale. No sign of cinnamon or nutmeg or even brown sugar which are the main ingredients in this dish. My colleague said they tasted like they were from the can. That is a BIG no no for soul food!!

Peach cobbler - Wasn't a fan of the breading and not enough cobbler syrup. It has potential though.

THE CHICKEN - was really good! It was well cooked but still juicy. This is the staple dish and it met a big boy's standards! lol

All in all, I would go back but I would probably get the chicken only and go to Amy Ruths for the sides!!

Don't let MY review deter you though...please go and support this lovely man. Your taste buds aren't mine!
