The food was very good. The chicken and fish were nice and crispy. They have, however, cut down the amount of food in the sides. The containers used to be full to the top. Now, they're only about 2/3 full. The coleslaw was basically raw cabbage with a few pieces of carrot because there was so little dressing you couldn't see it at all, and there was only a slight hint of flavor. We also ordered 2 cherryand 1 apple pie, which was written on the receipt, but we got 3 cherry pies.

The chicken was good, except a lot of the breading had fallen off the chicken before it was put in the box. They were really heavy-handed with the black pepper in both the mashed potatoes and the gravy. I like to taste my food, not a pepper shaker. People can always add pepper, but I can't remove it.

I usually like the chicken, but this time, for some reason, the chicken was spicy. There was also a ton of pepper in the gravy, both for doing and on the mashed potatoes. I don't mind a very little pepper, but I don't like a lot of it. It overwhelms the flavor of what I'm trying to eat. You can always add more, but can't take it away. I want happy with my meal.

All three chicken breast were dry, and the skin was cooked almost to carbon! The other items were all right

Ordered 4 Tender Dinner was fine. 7 Tender Dinner only had 4 tenders and 2 gravies, no mashed potatoes. Gravy was potatoes and gravy. SMH.
