Ordered 3 BBQ Chicken dinners with sides ranging from: potato salad, baked beans, candied yams, macaroni & cheese & collard greens. Everything was lip-smacking delicious and the portions so plentiful. I can't express how much my family appreciates Shut'Em Down. Y'all are a blessing and so is your food!

The chicken 3 Wing Meal
is hands down the best fried chicken in Jax. The Smothered Pork Chops were cooked and seasoned to perfection. I ate the potatoe salad before I even opened my food container lol I hope they never shut em down cause this food is the truth
