"1 of the last standing Golden Birds. Chicken is still pretty good. I like it. This particular time they took 4ever to take my order. As a matter of fact I left the drive up box to go to the window to order. Got my chicken and left."

"The food what's great as usual. However I usually request that my chicken be dipped twice, today the person said that they couldn't do that. I've been going to that particular Golden Bird for the last 30 years and I always get my chicken dipped twice. The chicken is usually pretty fresh however it's very expensive here. A two-piece Wing two sides and a biscuit is 13.99 plus tax."
