3 reviews for Bojangles
oooooh my goodness, Bojangles!
When I first heard about Bojangles, I thought my NC-native friend was kidding. What kind of name is "Bojangles," anyway? I was even more uncertain about it when I googled and found out it's a fast food chain. I had written it off completely until 3 other people recommended it to me after hearing I was contemplating a trip down to Raleigh. All I can say is, I am SO glad I took those recommendations and rolled with it.
I really don't understand why/how KFC is still in business when Bojangles is around.
Food: The only explanation i can muster for the chicken being so tender is that it's not really chicken... it's that unbelievable; the biscuits are amazzzing - flaky but dense and no butter necessary; sweet tea is, of course, perfect; and their fast food style dirty rice is so delicious and perfectly seasoned, I shutter with anticipation and excitement at what real restaurant dirty rice tastes like. oh boy.
I was so stoked on the food after I consumed about 2x my body weight that I bought a half gallon of tea and way more biscuits than I could ever consume by myself in a lifetime.
Service: was excellent.. I mean, it IS a fast food place, but they could have been really snotty when I said it was my first time there and that I couldn't make up my mind about what I wanted. The girl taking my order was very patient and the one getting my food was friendly in spite of her totally making fun of me, a skinny white girl, taking home a hojillion biscuits.
I did eventually realize that I would have to share my biscuits, so i trucked over to the hill to distribute to some of my friends. The security guards' eyes lit up when they saw my bag from Bojangles. 'nuff said.
Used to love Bojangles, back when they offered both mild and spicy chicken pieces. My partner can't handle the spicy stuff. Well, this fat little Texan can handle it! Bring on the hot stuff, baby!
Now, they just offer slightly spicy chicken, which can still be too spicy for some people.
Anyways, my partner wanted me to bring something home for lunch after I got off from work. And one of the suggestions was Bojangles. I thought...hey, why not.
Well, as much as their fried chicken, fries, biscuit and sweet tea are delicious...their services are subpar.
It used to be that you could get sweet tea at the soda fountain center. Now, you to come up to the cashier for refills. What's up with that?!?! The guy in front of me wanted sweet tea and a bag to put his food in to go. Problem was the the cashier acted like she could care less. In fact, she went around the kitchen and disappeared for a few seconds. The people that were fulfilling the orders weren't any help at all.
Then, it was my turn. I also had to wait a few minutes before getting my sweet tea. When my order was up, it looked like it was suddenly a 5 minute cigarette break for everyone. I was this close to saying "am I on Candid Camera?"
Then, the people behind me weren't getting any services better than the rest of us had. Everything would just be smoother if the crew gave friendly and smooth services. Otherwise, if they did, then 5 stars would have been given.
I used to sneak off to Bojangles during work last year. The spicy fried chicken is solid, and their biscuits are so buttery it should be illegal. Why there isn't one in DC is beyond me.
