Ordered via DoorDash and wow, best chicken tenders I think I've ever had! Sandwich was excellent too. What a revelation, glad it's close to my house.
Chicken and waffles- 5 bucks. Delicious. Banana pudding- amazing!
I came 15 mins before they closed. I thought they closed later than 8 pm. It’s located inside of the food court. The employees were friendly. Good customer service. Food tasted great. I don’t know if it’s because I came in super late but my chicken to bread ratio was perfect. I read other reviews that it was off. In my opinion, it was on par with Fry the Coop. I ordered the southern style with southern heat. Just the right amount of spicy to make it enjoyable. Chicken was very moist and aperitive. It had the perfect amount of crunch. Mac and cheese was not bland. It was very flavorsome with mild heat. Banana pudding I took off a star because I felt the ratio of shortbread cookie to pudding was off. In the pictures I have, I had way too much shortbread and not enough pudding. It still tasted good but the ratio needs to be rectified.
I just had to make my way into the newest location of The Budlong Southern Chicken since they have new ownership. It's in the “District” food court. It was a bit of a challenge finding it. I really enjoyed The Budlong Original with the Nashville Hot sauce. Mighty creamy Mac n cheese was great too. I got the opportunity to speak with a few members of the new corporation, Craveworthy Brands, that took over operations. Another of their restaurants is next door, the Lucky Cat Poke Co. They're having a Grand Opening August 10th and The Budlong is getting a whole new menu and will be offering various breakfast items. Chicken Fried Steak and Biscuits and Gravy will be introduced over the next month. They also have plans of opening 100 locations across the US in the future.
