We were in town for an event. We decided we wanted some fried chicken. This place was the only place still open that served fried chicken. I called about 20 mins before closing, ordered an 8 piece and 2 orders of fries. We arrived to the resturrants. And im assuming the owner told me, she dropped some fresh chicken for me. Cause she wanted to make sure I had the best experience. I would have been happy with some off the buffet. But let me tell you, im glad I waited. When I removed the foil, there was some of the most beautiful golden brown chicken I have even seen. Perfect. Smelled amazing. After about 20 mins to left it cool off lol. Finally got to try it. It tasted better then it looked, juicy, tender, crunchy skin. The best fried chicken I have even had. She didnt have to do that, especially 20 mins before closing. 10 out of 10. Never been to St Gen before but now im looking forward to going back and trying what else they have to offer.
