I decided to try this restaurant because the building had been vacant for many years. It’s good to see and support new businesses in Mill City. The exterior had been spruced up and is fairly inviting; however, the first step instead I wanted to turn around and leave. There is an over-powering smell of mold and/or mildew. It really needs to be aired out. We took our food to go because it was causing me some breathing issues. That said, the chicken strips were ordered were not bad. The price is high, but the service was fast. I don’t know if I would go back just because of the mold smell.

Ate here tonight for the first time. Fabulous chicken, hand cut fresh French fries. They were short a chicken breast from our 25 piece order so they gave us chicken strips in place of a breast and all I can say is OHMYGOSHYUM! They gave me a sauce but I dipped the strips in their FABULOUS fry sauce and was rewarded with a taste sensation that no one should miss out on!!! So if you’re heading to Central Oregon, coming back or just out for a drive, make this a lunch or dinner priority stop you won’t regret it!

Traveling from Sister’s to Portland we found this little gem along the way! It was heaven sent since we love Cajon, fried chicken, fried fish and honey buttered biscuits! That was our order and jumbalia instead of fries! All of it was sooooo good!

I’m giving it 3 stars because the décor is nice and the chicken is o.k. the price and the authenticity is what killed it. If you’ve never had real Cajun you wouldn’t know the difference. But it’s not even close. The jumbalaya was soggy and flavorless. The red beans and rice the same way. The chicken pieces were small the price was a little bit much. Don’t get me wrong it’s better than most deli chicken but not much. If you’re heading through mill city and don’t mind spending more than 40 $ to feed your family go to Giovani s two doors down. Better experience. Better food. Just better. Personally I fry my own chicken and know how to make jumbalaya so it’s always spot on every time… I just have high standards for Cajun creole. There chicken is o. k it’s not dry or flavorless. But it’s a far cry from authentic or homemade

Some bliss out of the bayou has been brought to the forests of Oregon. Krispy Krunchy, a chicken distributor, provides wonderful Creole fare from an infinitely charming building. This location cannot be found on the online store locator, but it does exist. Patrons can eat the fare served at a low price, but also at a convincing quality. What attracted me here was that humble red barn. As I entered, I saw the décor, leading to a then unsubstantiated assumption that it was good. The lady taking my order was polite. I couldn’t stand but to reminisce about the early twentieth century Coca-Cola symbols on the table, shapes on the wooden barriors, the charming paint and the charming memrobilia. Some meals are packaged in a cute little paper red barn. The fried chicken is on glowing display out a big kitchen window. Even using the bathroom was a worthy experience, due to its respective style. After about twenty minutes, my meal came, a bit of time due to a large group having had arrived before me. Two fried chicken breasts, fries and a soda were less than eight dollars, three of those dollars attributable to the latter two items. Fried seafood and fried chicken are at the core of the menu. Sodas are fountain, thus refillable. The fries barely needed ketchup. The chicken was crispy, a bit more bone than to the liking of some, but it was authentic, just like the décor. Everything was so charming that I felt as if I should stand on a steamship in a white suit and tie in the French Quarter in the decade before World War I seeking female courtship. Everything should be at least this charming.
