While in the area I decided to call in an order so that I could avoid a super long wait. They told me it would ready in 15 minutes. It was exactly that 15 minutes. It wasn't a long line like I usually see, causing me to abandon ship. The chicken and fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. It hit the spot.

Some of the best chicken in New Orleans... Okra fried perfectly... Customer Service was Excellent!!!

Some of the best damn chicken I've had in a while! Fried okra was cooked perfectly as well!

Best fried chicken in town! My parents grew up in Gentilly eating this chicken and I work across the street and can validate is still just as good as it was 40 years ago

The food here is always great and the service is always A1. My only suggestion would be that there be a deep clean of the from part of the building. I know nothing is done there but there's a stale smell that isn't the best while trying to get to the smell of the food cooking in the back.

I stop here every few years to get a box of chicken. I recently stopped and it has the same consistency: hot, fresh, crunchy. I usually like the chicken meat to have seasoning as well but McKenzie's manages to still serve quality chicken. The skin definitely makes up for the lack of seasoning on the meat. It's a flavorful, crunchy crust. The chicken definitely has "country-cooking" or "old time" vibes lol. The fried okra are also top tier. It's a mandatory side. Whatever they fry them in is the perfect match. I've never had an issue with customer service. Parking might be a little sketchy but, other than that, give them a try!

Local joint I saw and just had to try, glad I went inside, seems like a local favorite, I got a simple meal but it was pretty good! My mom loved the boudin balls. Fried chicken was on point!
