Good, hot food. Reasonable prices for when I visited (for a lions home game). 10/10 would go again!

Food was not all that. Chicken had a flour/bread taste. Breading was too thick. Only thing good was the banana pudding.🤷🏾‍♀️

Best fried chicken in the city. Best biscuits in the city. Wow. This tiny little place packs a punch. It's got a great vibe and the workers are friendly and fast. The chicken itself is always a nice big piece, not a lot of bones, and so much good seasoning and crackling skin. The smallest you can get is a 5 piece bucket or one of their signature sandwiches. The biscuits are phenomenal when dunked in their honey butter. The sidewinder fries are delicious and have a great seasoning. Their honey mustard was my favorite sauce out of all of them. It's a little pricey but completely worth it! This is a must go to especially after a few drinks!

Cool place. Great Happy hour spot. Shuffle board, beer pong, plenty of space. Food was good and a surprisingly good drink menu! Chicken sandwich was fire.

The food was excellent, but i did have a few issues. It may be kinks as a new business owner, but my order was missing an item that i paid for so make sure you check your order before you Leave. Secondly, you cannot call ahead or place your order online, so expect a decent wait. Lastly my food was pricey but i attribute that to location. Otherwise i would definitely recommend and return again.

It has to be the best food in Detroit I have had! Always a must when in the city.

Well flavored chicken with pretty wholesome sides. I thought the potatoe wedges tasted a lot like KFCs. That's not a bad thing in my opinion. Prices may be higher than KFC or Popeyes. It's worth it though. The wait wasnt too long on a busy Friday for my friends and I either

The set up is pretty unique, order to go or in house to take your food next door to the The Brakeman. The food comes fairly fast, you got a buzzer while you wait. I ordered the classic chicken sandwich, comes with ranch and honey; I also ordered a side of fries. I tried each other sauces, they were worth trying. The food was a step up from traditional bar food but nothing too special. The chicken can be pretty expensive for a bucket (5 pieces for $13).

Chicken is perfectly fried. Seasoning could use a little more KICK. All the sauces are awesome! Brussels are Great! Try the Honey Butter dipped biscuits ("Bix"). Sidewinder fries are hefty potato curly fries. Totally cashless. All self-service for food. Token system for beer.

Stopped by on Tuesday, a day after they opened, and grabbed a bucket and biscuits. Chicken is crispy, well fried, and juicy, but it borders on flavorless. Would love to see some more seasoning in the batter to kick it up a notch. The chicken doesn't stand up on it's own without sauce at the moment. That said, the green jalapeno sauce was great. We found the biscuits to be a bit weird... the appearance of a Pillsbury roll biscuit, covered in a sticky sweet sauce, and a heavy gummy texture, not what I was expecting. A classic buttermilk biscuit would have been more welcome. Overall, I love what they're trying to do here, but it still needs improvement. Hoping to see that in the coming months once they've been open for a while and have a chance to work out the kinks.

The chicken here is out of this world. And so is all the other food.

K Town Cutlet is one of the best sandwiches to have kimchi slaw on it ever created. Perfect balance wi TV peanuts and chicken.

Questions & Answers

In Penny Red's there's no official seating. It's mainly takeout....however the Brakeman next door to it allows you to eat your recently purchased Penny Reds delicious food. That place(Brakeman) is not for kids as it is strictly alcohol so that place(brakeman) is not recommended for families... There is seating outside in the new alley behind that strip which is really nice and many other public spaces where you can have a great picnic.

It's too big to be Amish Chicken. I agree... Ask if you go back
