Wet Chicken

How could it be? Here we were, concerned that the rain would dash our weekly ritual of Kickin’ Chicken Friday (KCF). Rain + parking downtown = just not gonna happen.

As luck would have it, we found a parking spot immediately outside the restaurant and didn’t even get wet.

Surely we would have a long wait for a table to seat 6 people. Not so - a large table awaited us in the crowded restaurant. OK, then it’s definitely going take a while for the food to come, right? Think again sucka - service was excellent.

All in all, it was shaping up to be the perfect KCF. Then we got slapped with the bill. Eating a small chicken fingers at Kickin’ Chicken is now equivalent to paying full price for a large Dominos pizza (full price pizza folks… not the “I’m a college student… I swear” price).

Is this the trend for King Street? The city cleans it up a bit and gets rid of the mystery smell and restaurants feel the need to jack their prices up 20%? Weak.

    So, they are charging 50 cents for extra sauce as well? Must be the rising gas prices of transporting the giant vats of ranch.

    Lunch + coke + extra sauce + tip = $11.50
    Close to a fine dining restaurant dinner.

    I guess we’re paying for the atmosphere and the clean facilities.

    Honestly I found my whole experience at Kickin’ Chickin’ to be pretty weak: cost, service, and food. This was the Summerville location, though.

    Did they increase prices at all locations or just DT? KCJI maybe?

    Not sure about the prices at all locations. We were pretty miffed about the downtown ones though. As noted in a comment above, they certainly aren’t pouring the extra cash into the dining experience…

    Today I was charged extra for a hair cooked into my chicken fingers.
