The Budlong Hot Chicken

This place is excellent. The atmosphere is really cool, with excellent themed decor that doesn't seem kitschy or overdone, just comfortable and sweet. My wife and I intended to order out, but we would up sticking around and eating in cause the atmosphere was so excellent and the staff was so friendly and bright. And I think that really tells you something, I wanted to change my plans to enjoy the space!
Now the food--the classic sandwich is just excellent. I got mine one step up on the spicy scale and enjoyed a subtle sizzle on my tongue throughout but didn't need to stop to let it cool at any point. The chicken is delicious, the toppings are excellent and don't get in the way of the massive filet you're enjoying, and the bun holds together well despite the oppressive flow of sauce from the chicken and the slaw. The collard greens were.....ok. wouldn't get those again as they took away from an otherwise great meal--hard to find good collard greens sometimes.
But overall verdict, easy five stars. Will be back again--to this lovely location in particular because of the friendly and inviting staff and environment.

Friendly service and delicious food. Go with the classic sauce. Its spicy and good!

Had such a great experience! The food was delicious! Definitely coming back.

Very good spicy chicken sandwich. Staff very friendly. Nice they offer beer. Dining room comfortable. Wish they had killer french fries.

Best chicken ever! It has a great crispy breading. I order the Hot spicy chicken sandwich, it was delicious. Be careful what spice you order. My husband order the classic 1/4 white chicken and it was still spicy for him. Great place to try!
