re: Alexandria upscale bar...Diamond Grill, Bellinos?

If you're passing the Boyce area near meal time, stop in Boyce and go to Uncle Albert's for some of the best fried chicken around. It's a great pit stop on a trip. I don't know that I'd eat in, but I've been through the drive up to get chicken once and I plan to go back. I had the spicy chicken and some dirty rice. Fine meal and so much better than Popeye's. This chicken crust is more like your grandmother used to make. Very crispy and not thick so no uncooked pasty areas. I think it's exit 98 and you get off and just keep driving about a mile, maybe, until you see it on the left on what I assume is the main drag of Boyce.
