Looking for Fried Chicken
 
Someone said that there was a Country Club that served fried chicken. I don’t remember who or where. Thanks in advance

McCall's Tavern in front of Spanish Springs lanes was the go to place for fried chicken. With new owners, I can't say whether it is still good, or not.

I wish we could have a Popeyes fried chicken closer

mixsonci 02-28-2023 01:01 PM

Love McCalls but last two times going there, imh, chicken was a bit overcooked, especially the batter, very dark

Theres ome at 44 and I75 and two on 441.

How closer would u like them?

I went to PDQ (in Colony Plaza) when the kids were down last week. I was definitely impressed (for a fast food place)...

I had the 3 piece chicken tenders and they were plump, very moist, with a lighter batter/coating.

They had a variety of dipping sauces that were also very good.

I used to prefer chik-fil-a but the location and absence of ridiculously long lines has made PDQ my new favorite. The shakes are very good too.

Mallory Hill. Their Wednesday night special is fried chicken.

PDQ, Popeyes (44 and 75), McCall's, and Publix are also very good. Winn-Dixie might be as well but I can't remember for sure if I've had it from there.

We go to the Popeye's in Leesburg on Hwy 27. It would be nice if it were closer. I agree with your liking Pollo Tropical in another thread. Love the marinade on the chicken and the salsas but, unfortunately, none around.

Do not know of a restaurant which sells good fried chicken. Treat this like a pizza. Best fried chicken is at the Publix deli.

Cheers at Stonecrest (click here) has some on their menu. I'll get there one day.

Babubhat 02-28-2023 06:50 PM

Publix

I think Mallory Hill also has a fried chicken lunch on Sundays. Come hungry. It’s a big meal!

Same here, closest ones are 20-25 minutes away. Thought Tradewinds was going to get one for sure.

Mallory Hill is more broiled than fried. Still good but not the same.

Sunshine70 03-01-2023 04:56 AM

I believe Mallory and Havana Country Clubs have fried chicken on Sunday as a dinner special.

I went to the Popeye's on 44 a few months ago and the food and service was awful. It was the first time I had been disappointed by Popeye's quality.

The best fried chicken by FAR is at Cheers in Stonecrest!! 48hr fried chicken is excellent and enough for 2..

Rheimer 03-01-2023 06:45 AM

Havana has good fried chicken on Sunday.

wbilbrey99@yahoo.com 03-01-2023 06:50 AM

Metro Dinner on 466 the best

vinricci 03-01-2023 06:52 AM

Wow! Last time we had that it was $13.95.

Thanks for all the replies. As far as Publix being the best, I can’t agree with that. Their double coating is too much for me.

MidWestIA 03-01-2023 07:46 AM

Yes
 
yes and popeyes

sloanst 03-01-2023 07:50 AM

There is only one place around the Villages to get the best fried chicken. That place is McCall's Tavern.

Skip the fast food places check out Cheers at Stone Crest great fried Chicken everyday and you will be having left overs

phojo 03-01-2023 08:14 AM

McCalls Tavern in Spanish Springs

asiebel 03-01-2023 08:16 AM

Havana Country Club rest has fried chicken on Sunday nights. Also, Huey Magoos has wonderful chicken tenders! A new one is on 466A and another on 27/441 across from Kohls.

Pinball wizard 03-01-2023 08:16 AM

Agree with Publix for fried chicken. 8 pieces for about $10 and they are nice size pieces!

HeleneGB 03-01-2023 08:25 AM

Havana CC Sunday special.

Chi-Town 03-01-2023 08:30 AM

One more place;

Fried chicken
 
Meto Diner...they make a great fried chicken sandwich. There are two chicken breast, I always take one of them home for later!

mikeycereal 03-01-2023 08:39 AM

Huey McGoo's is opening soon at Sundance Tri, Wildwood... on 466A, next to the new Culver's. The other one is in Lady Lake.

If in either area try it and see if you like it better than Popeye's or Cane's. I think it's way better. I order the 7 piece fingers with both Honey Mustard and Sweet Heat side sauces. I do half grilled/half battered and sometimes I get an extra finger. (no, not the naughty kind!) :duck:

Chitown 03-01-2023 08:41 AM

You asked for a country club known for their fried chicken and people started giving you everything but a country club. Mallory Country Club serves fried chicken on Wednesday and Sunday. It is very good.
