I tried the Mighty Quinn’s fried chicken sandwich today. I asked the lady at the check out counter whether they had it at this location, and she pointed to the man two feet from me who had a new one on his tray. It did not resemble a chicken sandwich, so I had to do a double-take. It looked more like a country fried beef steak or pork chop with too much sauce.
At $10 for the sandwich, not including any side dish, I reluctantly ordered this mess just for the sake of you the viewer. It was worse than it looked.
They smashed it into a clear lid with sloppy barbecue sauce all over the rest of the container. The bun was too thick. And when I took a bite, I got all chicken fat that stuck between my teeth.
They slather a ton of sauce on this mess to cover up the weak fried breading.
To rub salt in the wound, they expect you to tip the fast-food workers who are not providing sit-down service.
As bad as the Fuku fried chicken was, this sandwich is worse, and more expensive.
