    This is likely my favorite chicken joint in the US. The chicken is moist and flavorful, the buns (with injected butter) are amazing, and there's not a bad thing to be had here. Strictly take out here, they don't have a dining area. Don't let that deter you, give this place a try!

    Tried this chicken for the first time today. It was good. Probably a little better than KFC. I ordered the 12 piece meal which is supposed to include one side, biscuit and fries. When I got home, I realized that they did not give us the biscuits and fries. I called just to let them know but they do not speak English very well. They didn't understand that I was just letting them know so they could be more careful. Person on the phone went silent, no apology. It was kind of weird. All in all, I wouldn't go out of my way for this chicken, and this will probably be the last time we visit.

    This spot is everything you want in classic fried chicken. The chicken is thick and not overly coated or salty like some places. I liked their chicken strips, which weren't oily at all. The rolls deserve their own shoutout. Seriously, I prefer these buns over any other chicken spot. I also tried the Thai tea and mashed potatoes with gravy, both of which were great as well. They have an open kitchen, so you can watch all the action as your food comes together. That's always a good sign, as you can literally see the care they have in prepping the food. They don’t take phone orders, but it’s really not an issue. Service is super quick, parking is easy, and even when there’s a line, it moves fast.

    Donahoos has been a favorite since I was a little boy.My Mom bought it for the family occasionally as a treat. The food is usually hot, fresh and delicious. There have been occasions when the chicken was a little stale and on the cold side but not often. Most of the time everything is great! The staff is helpful, friendly and professional. The chicken portions are big, the rolls are good and they offer a good variety of sides. I strongly recommend anyone that hasn't tried it before give it a shot.
