Serves absolutely amazing food! Everything we had was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The only downside was the portion size, which felt a bit small for the price. Still, the quality was top notch, and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re craving great fried chicken in the city.
I was extremely disappointed in my order at Penny Reds yesterday. I ordered the five piece chicken with fries and the honey butter biscuits. In my defense, I’ve only ever ordered the chicken bites, but the chicken bites were not available on Doordash. I settled for the Five piece chicken thinking It would still be just as good. I then realized that it was all batter and barely any chicken….When I removed the batter…the chicken wasn’t even COOKED. It was still pink. Spending $40 for takeout, i feel like I wasted my money. All I ate was the fries and biscuits.
First up, staff was nice and helpful having never been there before. No issues there. I mean you go there for some tasty fried chicken...... And the chicken just isn't good. Meat seemed low quality with way less meat than expected. It wasn't even that hot when served. Breading was excessive and waxy as though it had sat under a heat lamp for a while. Mac and cheese was tiny for the price and that wasn't great either. The dunked honey butter biscuits were decent. Wanted to love it, left knowing I won't be back.
Penny Reds is just a counter service place but it is located inside the Brakeman so you can sit there. By the tables you can enjoy the fun atmosphere, play games and purchase tokens for your alcoholic beverages. The food menu is chicken or chicken, they are well known for their buckets of chicken. I however had a sandwich, the menu is limited but you'll enjoy whatever you choose.
Fantastic little spot downtown for fresh fried chicken. The chicken was hot and crispy and delicious. The biscuits were flaky and tasty. I really enjoy their desserts, too. I think they switch them up frequently. I enjoyed the aesthetic and branding of the containers, too. You can tell they take pride in their food.
