Some of the best chicken in the south! It’s fried chicken with a fusion of Cajun and creole delight. I promise you will not stop finger-licking and bone-sucking until the final piece is demolished. Not to add, the succulent crunchy batter as your base to wet the appetite for your taste. 1 of the top 3 chicken joints within 100 miles.

Great food, great service. I had a 2 piece white with Corn on the Cob and Beans & Rice, a roll came with the meal. The chicken was seasoned, crispy and juicy, served piping hot. I was expecting Red Beans & Rice, but this had a chili flavor. The corn was dripping with butter. Look carefully, use GPS, or you'll miss this delicious gem.

The friendliest folks in town. The chicken, shrimp, livers, and fish are unmatched in preparation and flavor. All sides are great! Best Hot Sause this side of the Mississippi. Hands down the best Chicken House bar none.
