Holy Fried Chicken Batman. That was the best chicken I’ve ever had. Got the chicken tenders with sides of green chilli Mac and sour dough waffles. The breading was light and crispy and the chicken tender. The Mac was the best ever. Loved it. Could have had only that as the entree and would have been super happy. Plus sour dough waffles? Can’t go wrong with that.

Hands down the best chicken tenders ever. Had the spicy ones with spicy aioli. Loved it. Green chili shells and cheese were great as well. This is the least expensive place to eat in all of old town. Little to no wait. Would totally recommend

Excellent mac n cheese! A flight of mead is $9 and it was the perfect amount for two. Great vibe!

Very enjoyable. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Gave us a little about the history behind the businesses Maynard owns, why he name it Four 8 fried Chicken. Everything was very yummy. Would love to come back again. My girlfriend and I had a knee replacement done a few months ago. The waitress was kind enough to bring us a zipplock bag of ice and a towel to put on our knees while waiting for our food. Very kind and sweet. Thank you to you all.

What an amazing experience! I had the fish tacos and my wife had the southwest chicken sandwich and both were to die for. The atmosphere was excellent. The place was full and I can see why. So good. Highly recommend.

Having been raised in the city of the “World Chicken Festival,” (London, KY) I was hesitant to try fried chicken from a small, family owned joint in Arizona. Wow, I’m happy I did, though!!! Chicken was soooooo good! The tenders are so thick. The flavour is magnificent. The hush puppies were so good. I dipped them in the butter. The butter is so good. 🤣🤣 I think I could eat ramekins of the butter; it’s delicious. But my only complaint was there’s no bleu cheese to dip the chicken. I ordered the chicken “savory,” and will be getting spicy next time, but savory is sooooo good. Besides the chicken, my favourite thing was CARBONDALE CREAM SODA!!!! What a surprise!!!!! The last time I drank this was in Aspen years ago, and the next time I see it is in Cottonwood Wow! I’m so impressed.

We were immediately greeted by the host, a pleasant young man who provided menus and ushered us to a booth. It was an open air day and we timed our visit between lunch and dinner. Plenty of street parking, with free public parking within 3-5 minutes. Sapphire quickly provided waters while we studied the menu. We had a mead flight, consisting of four 2 ounce samples. We both chose the Classic Chicken sandwich on a sweet Hawaiian bun, she had the potato salad and I enjoyed green beans with bacon. The chicken was lightly breaded, moist and very, very tasty. This is their mildly spiced chicken with just a little heat kick after a few bites. The chicken was thick, so we devoured the sandwich with our knives and forks. Their sandwiches feature house cole slaw, lettuce and tomato slices topped with aloe Mayo. We’ll definitely be back, and maybe step-up the heat. The dill pickle slice helped with the mild heat. The meal and beverages under $40. Great Main Street view, and very attentive staff. Winner!

We’ve since returned for takeout on two occasions, and each time the we’ve been less impressed. Hoping this was just a fluke, our second takeout order the chicken was burnt and not plump and moist as our first, in restaurant experience AND review. So, I think I’d save my money and visit KFC.

Visited on a Thursday night and everything was on par! Will visit again.

We ordered a two piece chicken, a 4 wing chicken, waffles, Mac and cheese, cornbread, and hush puppies. They gave us each a good sample of mead, which led us to order a flight of 4 mead flavors.
And there is a free appetizer while you wait for your food/drink!

Service was attentive.
Food was hot and not too spicy (might be spicy for some), the chicken was cooked correctly, unlike some of the reviews about the quality, and the waffles and sides are delicious!

We did notice that the server forgot to ask/provide sauce for one of our orders, but she corrected that after serving the food.

We wish the sauces were listed on the menu, and wish that syrup was offered if we wanted chicken and waffles... but have no complaints about anything else.
