mmmm bojangles

i moved to kansas for about a year (long story) and when i visited home after about 6 months or so, i got in to town the same day my brother in law got in from his deployment to afghanistan. when my sister asked where we wanted to eat we said "bojangles" immediately.

fried chicken? check.
sweet tea? check (fucking kansas...no sweet tea worth a god damn anywhere)
and the seasoned fries...mmm

thing is, if you dont get there when they are busy, the food sits forever and isnt worth a shit. but if its fresh, its pretty damn tasty.

same. Bojangles + BBQ + Chik Fil-A (no Chik Fil-A convenient to me out west) are must-visits as soon as I return home. There is almost always a stop at Bojangles from the airport to home :D


Popeye's red beans & rice is the best side in any chicken joint, but the last time I made it down to Columbia to get some Popeye's, the container had a false bottom - half beans & rice, half empty space.

The chicken still didn't measure up to Bo's, so I guess I make my own beans & rice from now on.

yeah, I agree with their RB & R. If it weren't for that, I would never go to Popeyes. I like asking for jalepenos to cut up and put in the rice. yum. The dirty rice at Bo is pretty good--but the dirty rice at Churches is one of the worst FF sides ever. it is horrible.

but of course--Churches will sell you a bag of whole jalepenos as if they were fries. awesome.

Picked up 12pc tailgate box with mash potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, mac & cheese, 6 biscuits, and 1/2 gallon sweet tea for dinner. Absolutely delicious. :thumbsup:

Bojangles was much better about 20-25 years ago but now their chicken just isn't what it used to be, honestly. It's still alright but it used to be the best chicken on the planet.

This.

Growing up in Va I used to frequent Bojangles. Since I moved in the 90's I only get to partake when I go see my dad. Every time I go down it just keeps getting worse and worse. Sigh.

well, everything declines the more it grows. The same is true of KFC (not even chicken anymore), Popeyes, Churches, etc...

Decline or no, Bojangles is still better than the others. ;)
