It's in the center food court so it is a cafeteria style line. They have options like fried steak, wings, tenders, and some baked fish. Clearly the choice was going to go with the fried chicken but the fried steak looked good as well. It looked similar to smothered steak in gravy and not that fried...I could be wrong though. Got the fried chicken and mashed potatoes and collard greens as sides. The bread was not ready so sadly no cornbread. The other side options included fried okra, beans, rice/gravy, mac and cheese, and a few others.
The fried chicken was good - hot and crispy which is somewhat surprising for being in the airport but I did go during a main dinner time. Great fried color to the chicken and the skin did not come off all at once when you took a bite. One thing that I prefer is when the skin is seasoned with pepper and spices. This you could tell was a good flour crisp but wish it had more flavoring. I think this is somewhat against traditional fried chicken and for that my bad. I did use hot sauce but would still prefer more spice. The chicken I did think overall was quite tasty even as is. The sides were prepared well, I really liked the gravy and wish that there was more. The greens tasted very similar to other southern places but I have to remember that I just don't love the taste of collards. Each time I have them reminds me that they are not the greatest and that I should order a different side. Oh well.
I would come back here for a non-work transit meal and get the chicken again. Allegedly saw an award for best fried chicken in Atlanta for 2015 but don't know the other contestants. It was quite good. Seating is pretty good even though they are so busy in ATL since they have helpers to clean and take care of tables...good touch!
