Uncle Abe's Chicken

The full menu is not available quite yet, but they are serving fried chicken, jojos, coleslaw, macaroni and potato salad until later this week hopefully.

The chicken is pressure cooked (similar to KFC), but the quality is great. The skin and batter was crispy on the outside and the chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. The spices in the batter were well balanced and delightful. The jojos were also hot and breaded and complimented the chicken well. The macoroni salad, though bought in, was great quality.

I usually stay away from fried chicken because it is too heavy and greasy, but Abe's place found the right balance here. Very excited to try their sandwiches including a new take on the old romanburger/hardhat and a brand new (don't expect the old sandwich build from the old place) Dagwood of their own.

Only downside is the place is still being populated with equipment and product, so the menus weren't quite up yet and the shelves were pretty bare. However the owner said they should be ready to serve most or all of their menu in the coming week. I can't wait to see how the restaurant and menu comes together in the coming weeks. Definitely worth a try. I will be visiting any time I am in the area myself.

Edit 6/20/23
Sandwiches have been added including Philly Steak, pastrami and burger subs like the nephew Burger (a roman burger or hardhat with pepperoni added). We ordered a pastrami, a Philly steak and a nephew Burger. I thought the pastrami was excellent while my dad, who isn't particularly fond of pastrami, said it was okay. Philly steak was reported as "good". Nephew Burger's unique addition of pepperoni to the cooked salami adds a little bit of variety and spice I welcomed in a burger like this.
