Bojangles — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

I’ll start with this—I’m a fried chicken fanatic. Growing up in the central U.S., the Colonel was king. My son lives in New Orleans, and you know who wears the crown there. I’ve had plenty of favorites over the years (no names here, because they’re all good), but after this trip to Winston-Salem, I may have found my new number one.

I’d heard about Bojangles thanks to those two British guys on Jolly, so when my son and I wanted chicken, I had to give it a try. We ordered the 12-Piece Chicken Meal, and when we got home and opened it up—wow. The chicken was piping hot, golden, and crispy. The meat was juicy, tender, and even the breast pieces were moist (which is rare). The pieces themselves were large, bigger than what I’m used to from the competition, and the crunch lasted from the first bite to the last.

The sides did not disappoint. The biscuits were light, fluffy, and perfect—I only wished I had extra butter and honey handy. The mac & cheese was creamy, cheesy, and hit the spot. But the star of the sides? The green beans. Firm, not mushy, with that bacon-kissed flavor that made them the best green beans I’ve ever had. Truly unforgettable.

We ate until full and still had plenty left over. And let me tell you, cold Bojangles chicken the next day was just as good—a real test of great fried chicken.

All in all, Bojangles in Winston-Salem served up some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in my (many) years of chasing good yard-bird. If you’re in town, don’t hesitate. Go, eat, and go home...

Wow my experience here was absolutely unbelievable. I never leave reviews, but I was stunned by this place. I got to the screen to order and when I was ordering, the woman asked for my side I didn’t hear what she, and asked “pardon?” And She literally shouted at me “What kind of side do you want!” And then when I was ordering a dessert, I couldn’t remember the name and so I said, "uhmm" and then she mocked me and said “uhmmmm!?”

When I get to the window, she wouldn’t let me pay because somebody over the intercom interrupted her and then she told me “he was loud in my ear” I was then left to sit at the window for what it felt like 10 minutes. I then see her walk by shouting angrily, take a spatula and throw it to the ground.

I was told by another employee that her name is Heather and that she is rude like that every single day, and they were more than happy to give me her name and told me that i can do what I want to with that information so here I am writing this review and might do more because that was very unpleasant. Based on what they told me she probably abuses her coworkers too. I've been here before and the food takes forever to come out especially if you order online. And when i was watching through the window it was a mess back there, absolutely horrible. I will never come here, or to Bojangles every again. I rarely even go to fast food places, and that was my last straw. Getting this type of food is not worth is considering who you have to deal with to...

With approximately 9 employees, everyone is walking around looking slightly confused of their role, but ultimately unconcerned. Several walking around doing random things (one with a cup in his mouth hitting it with his hand keeping a sweet beat), others gathered in a group socializing when finally someone took ownership of "not watching the front" after standing there for several minutes. Food was served rather fast, but upon sitting down in the dirty unkempt lobby, the food may be fast but luke warm at best and ehh quality. Mac and cheese that my son ate was fine, as was the biscuit. Both locations on Peter's Creek Parkway are generally terrible, as if it were where they send all the misfit employees to work. I thought it was pretty funny that after a few minutes of me being there, two employees who were standing and socializing then went and vocally stated that they needed to take their break. If you are looking for a place to waste your money on sub-par food and service, this is where it's at. When pulling into the restaurant, you may think you had pulled into the city dump, but that's just from the incredible amount of garbage in the parking lot. Don't worry, you're in the right place. Side note: If you happen to find yourself in Lexington and want GREAT bojangles, go to the one in front of the neighborhood Wal-Mart. That...
