Golden Skillet Fried Chicken: Reviews & Ratings
The best fried chicken. Seasoned just right and customer service is A1. I highly recommend. The building doesn't look like much but I guarantee you will love that chicken.
I stopped by via drive thru one early Saturday afternoon because i seen a review of this place and i wanted to try , so i ordered a 2 piece white (breast and wing) with collard greens and mambo sauce , the chicken was good and not dry but it was very greasy , the greens were good also it also came with a dinner roll.
I've seen this place so many times, but it was dated and appeared to be a place I didn't feel compelled to stop and go in and visit. Well @mrchimetime was doing a DMV food tour and said the place was legit and had the best mumbo sauce. It was only right that I finally stop in and find out for myself! I pulled up and don't ya know ....this place has a drive thru!! Hallelujah! I had to get the chicken sandwich and wings. I'll be more adventurous and try the gizzards another time. The chicken sandwich was good with the mumbo sauce, enough crisp and soft sesame seed bun; no tomato, only lettuce and pickles. Fries on the side were thick cut fries, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. The party size wings are great; no complaints. I forgot that I got the old bay wings, they just had a tasty heavy dusting of something on them. I'll have to try the full size wings another time. I had two sides that were very small-- the plastic containers fit in the side portions of the to go plate. Collards are ok as a green (better than any other drive-thru!), the mac n cheese you can pass on. Now, people debate mumbo sauce all the time. There are so many variations, mumbo sauces are NOT created equal. I forgot what's real. I simply stick beside Capital City mumbo. Trying the sauce from here, I'm familiar and it's the real thing! They've stayed true all of these years. Great customer service to boot! If you're like me and have passed it for too many years, go ahead and stop in or slide thru the drive thru!
