This disappointing cafeteria-style joint, from the team that helped usher in the city’s barbecue craze at Hill Country, puts a corporate spin on the fried chicken trend. Two types of bird are available: The crunchier version features skinless pieces in a brittle batter that falls off in shingles; the “Hill Country Classic” skin-on alternative—buttermilk-brined and simply dusted in flour—is a better bet. Still, neither variety, sitting idle under heat lamps, is a match for the top-shelf fried fowl available elsewhere, and the potluck sides (sticky corn salad and cheesy mashed fried potatoes) might just as well have been cooked by Betty Draper—after she’d fired the maid.

I liked Hill Country - their bbq is pretty good - it's a bit kitschy, the whole Texas barn setup - but their food stood up to the kitsch. But the fried chicken place - totally overrated. Its like trailer park McDonald's. I've lived here 15 years, and grew up in the south, so I feel like I know my fried chicken. Also being in the food tv biz, I gotta say, the place shoots well as trailer park set, but the chicken doesn't compare to Dirty Bird or Redhead. It's all a bit too much Disneyland. Save your time - try one of the other places.
