Southern Classic Chicken - Supposed to be really good. But I'm not going to even try to get in there for like a month.

Southern Chicks on Florida Blvd is also very good and the initial surge of people has sort of slowed down. Try that if you want good chicken. I wouldn't try Southern Classic until the crowds slowed down.

There were 100s of people lined up outside the Dave’s hot chicken last month when they opened. No food is worth standing in a line that long in the Louisiana summer heat.

I live in a very white area of NC and we just had a Dave's hot chicken open and there has been no line. Tried it once and it's pretty good, nothing great.

All the way to the interstate. Blows my mind.

And you can just park at a nearby business and walk there if you really need the chicken that much

BR loses its collective mind over the introduction of any new fast food restaurant. Dave's literally Rasing Cane's dipped in hot sauce. Yet, because it's new, people initially go nuts. Then in a year the place can barely get any business (unless you are Chic-fil-a)

The coming hot chicken crash seems like it's destined to rival the cupcake and froyo crashes

Businesses in that location have failed time and time again. I remember a French fry place, a seafood place, a sandwich place...etc. nothing lasted long

I was working in Bossier when a new Southern Classic opened up by my hotel. They gave out free chicken and had traffic clogged up all damn day. I almost couldn’t get into my hotel it was so bad

Dunkin’ Donuts was the hardest “grand opening, grand closing” crash of all time

Damn, I just looked at past street views on google and every year there’s a new place or a lease sign on the building

Southern Classic Chicken is good, but it sure as hell isn’t good enough for that line.

That can't be right. I just read about how the tariffs are starting to hurt people and they're eating at home more.
