Chicken Inn — Restaurant in Shelbyville

My elderly mother got a job here and let them know upon applying that she had recently suffered a heart attack and should not be doing strenuous activies. This would have left her either running the grill, or the front. Rather, they put her on broaster and fryer, made her change all the oil pans within a 2 day time frame, when a much younger employee (much more capable employee) was simply grilling toast. She completed the broilers the first day, she worked through it to prove she could. Shes a proud, hardworking woman. The next day they asked her to change the fryer oil.

We had the famous fried chicken- how could we not- it came out in the prescribed 15-20 minutes. It’s juicy, pressure cooked, then fried goodness was surrounded by a crisp-not-crunchy skin. My only complaint was that, though good, it was rather unseasoned. Salt and fat for sure, but no herbs or other seasonings. It was an enjoyable meal, with excellent service from the one male server (at least this shift). The place was clean, service prompt,...
