Has anyone ever tried this "invite only" exclusive chicken dinner yet? Apparently there's a LONG waiting list in order to purchase the $50 per person dinner. Do you have to know someone that knows someone in order to get on this list? What's the big deal about this fried chicken dinner?

Skip this and just go to BBQ Inn for fried chicken.

You can walk right in and it's a lot cheaper than $50

I had the same dish with a metric **** ton of various oysters last month and It was spectacular.

Don't know that I give enough of a **** about fried chicken to do this deal but I'll definitely be eating there again

What makes it worth the $50 price tag?

It was a damn good dining experience and food.

unlimited fried chicken cooked in cast iron.

Unlimited southern style sides.

Unlimited desserts.

You can joke all you want about it just being fried chicken, but its not nearly the same as what yall are comparing it to.

Unlimited assistance out of there? That looks damn good and I'd make myself miserable with unlimited access to all of that. I wouldn't be able to drive home.

i thought it was damn tasty, all the chicken & various donuts we had were good. plus bacon jam drizzled on everything makes anything delicious.

of course it helps that its a donut joint when taking 2 kids along too. only a couple booths inside and bench seating.

mexican chocolate iced, red velvet & cherry bomb donuts were all tasty treats.

I drive by it on my way home from work every day and I think it's really good. The chicken sandwich is the tits and I think their donuts are as good or better than any others in town that I've tried.

Wow. There is not shortage of fools and money. THIS IS FRIED CHICKEN YOU GUYS.

I blame millennials and their no good, lazy ass, non cooking soccer moms for the acceptance of food that poor people eat that is now considered 'gourmet' because its the 'best they ever had'.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ.....is this for real? Are we really talking about a waiting list for a GD endless bucket of GD fried chicken? WTF people.

OH MY GOD FRIED CHICKEN! BUT THEY FRY IT IN ORGANIC OIL! AND ITS CAST IRON LIKE OLD TIMES!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....f-ing idiots.

You could go to HEB and buy chicken and make it better than both for a fraction of that.

Yes, it would be carbon based chicken. You will have to speak to the chicken to ascertain its level of happiness/cruelty prior to frying.

I crushed Hatty B's in Nashville, it was damn good and cheap.

Holley's chicken dinner isn't the same experience.
