Decided to try this place after moving to the area. Was pleasantly surprised with the food. You get a hefty portion of food, the food was tasty, and the prices are hard to beat at many other places. The only "negative" thing I could say, was that I wanted to try the baked potatos, however they were out at the time I went. Definitely going back to try these.

I recently visited Royal Bourbon, and I'm still thinking about how delicious everything was! The bourbon chicken was incredible! Juicy, tender, and generously coated in a sweet, rich glaze with the perfect touch of smoky flavor. It went good with the spicy rice, which added just enough heat to be exciting without overpowering the dish The Cajun potatoes were fantastic to, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with spices that left a delightful warmth. Portions were plentiful, service was welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortably relaxed If you're into comfort food packed with flavor, you have to give this place a try. I can't wait to go back!

The bourbon chicken is sweet and flavorful; reminiscent of the bourbon chicken at the Ohio Renaissance Festival. The cornbread was sweet and cake-y, which I love. The Bourbon Chicken Sub was gooey-cheesy on a soft toasted baguette. (I think it would be better without the shredded lettuce.) The Cajun potatoes were a bit floppy, but not a bad flavor. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but the food makes up for it. I'll be back for more!

OMG!!! DEFINITELY COMING BACK!!! The baked potatoes were amazing. Soft and extremely huge(where do you get potatoes that big). The portions are very generous as is the prices. Great flavor. Great workers with great speed. Only downfall is resteraunt could have used a wipe down and sweep.

As others have said, this is hands down the best bourbon chicken you will have! The portions are generous, the food is perfectly cooked. The baked potatoes are massive! I've tried several things from here and never once had a bad or even average meal. Everything has been super tasty and perfectly seasoned! This restaurant has definitely become a staple in our family's rotation.

This place serves up some outstanding chicken at a great price. The portions are huge - you won't leave hungry. Their seasoning is perfect as well. In addition to the regular chicken dishes, we grabbed some tenders and okra - both are good, but not a stand-out from what you'd get anywhere else.

the food is fresh, tasty, and I especially liked the Cajun potatoes! If you’re looking for something “different” in the area, this place is it! I think my is issue is this feels more like food truck food or to go food... so the atmosphere and decor and cleanliness of the dining are are not the best... once they spruce the place up this could be a true hidden!

Our first time dining here, but I had experienced bourbon chicken before and liked it. Very friendly service up front, and once she learned it was our first time, she offered sample tastes of bourbon chicken and cajun chicken, we liked both. I ordered Cajun chicken over spicy rice with Cajun potatoes, and enjoyed it a great deal, but I would mix up some flavors if I did it again. Chicken was definitely a highlight. My date had seasoned chicken over white rice in a bowl (think taco salad bowl, deep fried tortilla), and also enjoyed it, though she couldn't finish it on one sitting. (There is also buffalo chicken, I'm trying that next time. There is also veggie rice, which I believe is white rice with some cooked vegetables.) For dessert we shared a funnel cake...yes, a funnel cake...for 4.49! Only topping available at the time was powdered sugar, which is what I wanted anyway. If you dine in, the dining room is a little basic, with booths and a few tables, and your food is in travel containers (easier to take those leftovers with you!). I can see why one reviewer said it felt like a food truck experience...but to me, that isn't a bad thing. Since not served at the tables, there isn't the expectation of tipping, but there is a little square box on the register, so make sure you leave a little appreciation behind, I like it when someone isn't acting like they have to work there, it was a great experience. We took bourbon chicken and rice home for our guest, and we plan to return.
