Have eaten both the Freddy's and Cowboy Chicken on Siegen this week...review

Went to Cowboy Chicken on Friday evening. Walked in and placed order at 7:42 according to my receipt. They were busy, as expected, being a Friday night and a new place. Placed order to go. 1/2 chicken with twice baked potatoes and baked mac and cheese, and sweet tea. At 8:27 I received my food. Should have called it in, but the fact that families who came in after me ordered food, ate, and left before I got mine had me a bit disappointed. They came out and asked my name and brought me a receipt that credited my card back. I didn't ask for it, so at least they were trying to keep me happy. There were 5-6 of us in the same boat. Anyway, to the food....the chicken had a great flavor. Skin was crispy. Meat was maybe a tad overdone. It wasn't dry really, but it was on the verge of being on too long. Wood flavor stood out in the meat. Not smokey, but wood. It's wood fired, after all. The tea was meh. I like sweet tea. Like actual sweet tea. Not semi sweet tea. 2 cups to the gallon sweet. This was 1-1 1/2 it seemed. Whatever. Not a big deal. The twice baked potatoes.....one of their signature dishes....will never even consider ordering again. The flavor wasn't all that bad on them. It was a texture thing, and I'm not usually a texture kinda guy. They were basically thin potato strips (like coffee stirrer size) mixed up with whatever they mixed it with. It was like eating firm hashbrowns. I fully expected twice baked potatoes to be like mashed potatoes consistency. Surprise! The Mac and cheese...also meh. I guess I'd get it again, but it reminded me of Piccadilly....which some folks love, so who knows. All in all, I will go back. The chicken is worth it to me. I will be getting different sides next time. They say the fried okra is killer.

Oh yeah.....also had the peach cobbler. Pretty tasty. Kinda tasted like every other 1/1/1 cobbler I've ever had though, so don't expect something groundbreaking unless you're used to the store bought crap with the pie crusts.

To Freddy's....had originally gone there on Friday for lunch. Opened the door, saw about 20 people in line and walked out. Went back this evening. Much easier. Had the double patty melt, order of fries, and a vanilla malt. The patty melt was pretty good for basically a fast food burger place. The fries are very thin cut. Very thin. Like the size of the fries that come in the can. Wasn't my favorite part of the meal. The frozen vanilla custard malt was very good. Ended up spending around $10 on the meal. Not bad, but for basically the same price I can go across the street to mooyah and get what I think is a better burger and fries. I'll go back, but probably just to get the frozen custard. I'll do mooyah or burgersmith for burgers.
