IMHO, Publix is okay, but it is a bit greasy. BoJangles is also very greasy. The best chicken we ever tasted since living here was Speckled Butter Bean when it was on route 44.

Now we go to Popeye's.

My puppy likes those itty bitty bones on Publix chicken. Those really little bitty ones must be delicious. I'm going to try them myself, next time.

I also vote for McCalls. I have found that Golden Corral can be good or not very good - inconsistent.

We are not fried chicken eaters yet I've wondered about the Maryland Fried Chicken in Leesburg. It looks like a fast food establishment but I wonder how it is different from KFC or McCalls. Has anyone tried it?

Always enjoyed the Golden Corral. Used to like KFC but haven't been there in a while. Like Publix but the coating is a little salty but I can put up with it.

As the others say - home is the best!

Eaton's Beach Sandbar and Grill on Lake Weir. Very good food, great service, reasonable prices and killer view of the lake.

Tried Maryland Chicken once and weren't impressed. We like Popeye across the street better.

Unfortunately, I cannot find that in Publix. I always liked it as a snack pack.
