What’s on the Fried Chicken Bar
Comfort food everyone at the table actually eats. Pick fried or baked, and we bring the sides that make it a meal.

Legs and thighs, breaded and fried crisp. Made entirely from scratch.
Chef’s Garlic Baked Chicken
The non-breaded option: seasoned and baked by our chefs.
Homemade Idaho Mashed Potatoes
Real Idaho potatoes, mashed in our kitchen.
House Gravy
Homemade, and on the side so every plate gets it the way they like it.

Your guests don’t run out. Every order includes 10% more food than your headcount, at no charge.
Fried Chicken From a Chef, Not a Fryer Line
The person who orders the food gets the credit, or the blame. Serve chicken that was made from scratch and handed off by the chef who made it, and you’re the one who got lunch right.
