Kevin D. • January 1, 2023The green tomatoes are phenomenal! Everything was so tasty! Make sure to get the sweet potato pie!

Scott B. • August 27, 2016The crayfish etouffee is great but the fried chicken and collard greens are amazing.

Staff Picks • February 18, 2016Grits are a trending taste this week and you can get some damn good ones at Wishbone. You really want their classic shrimp and grifts. If you're not a fan of seafood, the cheesy grits are great, too.

Michele E. • May 10, 2015Had the smothered chicken with rice and gravy, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and raspberry iced tea. Ended my meal with peach cobbler and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Andersonville Chamber Of Commerce • November 30, 2012Their family-style fried chicken lunch is guaranteed to put you (and the rest of your party) into a blissful, food-induced coma. It's a great deal for 3 meals' worth of food!

Christopher M. • March 14, 2012The fried chicken is so delicious, and so is the pimento mac & cheese!!

Erik R. • October 21, 2017I am so excited Raising Cane’s finally opened in Chicago! These are all over Texas and Louisiana and I’ve missed eating their chicken fingers and dipping sauce. Go with the fresh lemonade too.

Harlen F. • July 24, 2021Pulled pork dinner was great. Sauce had wonderful flavor, meat was tender and juicy.

William Q. • January 29, 2016I tried the Catfish, chicken with greens and corn and it was good. They have private parking available and the restaurant is clean. Definitively will come back.

Etrina T. • May 8, 2022The chicken tenders are crispy, flavorful, juicy and tender in texture… the fries, coleslaw, Texas toast and sauce are perfect accompaniment for the tenders. Delicious food and good customer service.

Eric R. • April 25, 2019The fried catfish was pleasantly spicy and crispy. The macaroni and cheese and dirty rice were just like my grandma used to make...well at least the one up North :).

Melissa O. • July 6, 2014Great server, felt like we were with family. New Orleans breakfast was delicious. Excellent fried chicken and sides. Order eggs with cheese - without cheese they're bland. Delicious peach cobbler.

Faheem S. • May 5, 2013Dan is the man! Always a good time.....

Mike • February 12, 2016This was some surprisingly delicious fried chicken - hint of spicy. Prices were pretty reasonable. This seems like a good place to mow down some fried chicken, drink beers, and watch the game.
