Southern Classic Chicken is set to open the first of three Baton Rouge locations in the next nine months after a local developer bought a South Sherwood Forest Boulevard restaurant building.

The Shreveport-based fried chicken chain will move into the space at 3410 S. Sherwood Forest, said Donnie Jarreau. Jarreau’s SSF Holdings LLC bought the property last week for $550,000. The seller was Giovanni Mucciacciaro Enterprises LLC of Baton Rouge. Mark Hebert of Kurz & Hebert Commercial Real Estate represented the seller.

Southern Classic plans to demolish the existing building and open a corporate-owned restaurant in the location in the next seven to nine months, Jarreau said.

It’s the first of three locations the chain plans to open locally. A property on Florida Boulevard is under contract and should open within the next year, while the company also is looking for a spot on Plank Road.

To be honest, I like it better than Popeye's. I only eat fried once a month though, but when I choose a place to eat, it's SC. Rest of the times I fry something myself.

It's even better than 1990-era Popeye's. 2024 Popeye's is a sad cautionary tale.

Southern Classic is very good in my opinion. One of my highlights when headed to Toledo Bend.

Southern Classic had me driving 20 miles each way when I lived on the north end of Toledo Bend in the woods. Popeye’s I would stop and pick up if it was along my way. SC I would go out of my way for.

What SC needs to be really top of the market is a signature side or dessert or a unique bread. What they have is good it just doesn’t have any “grab”.

years ago one of my wife's friends married into the family that owns southern classic. I made a to go bag of chicken at the reception. the bags where for candy at a display on the way out. You know its good when you sneak it out of a wedding reception.

I went to one and had some good sweet corn grits as a side.

Is very good. When we first bought a store in Natchitoches on Texas St, there was a SC just a few blocks down. I’d try to limit myself to once a week, lol
