I always smell the chicken from this place when I drive by. It smells wonderful, I decided to stop and try them. I got two pieces of chicken, fries, biscuits, and mumbo sauce. The chicken was crispy and juicy inside. The mumbo sauce was really good. The service was wonderful, especially since I didn't know what they had at 1st. The guy working the window was exceptionally nice and patient he helped us with our order(sorry I didn't get his name). I am definitely going to try them again. Thanks. Tiktok #28screwsinmyback

Golden skillet always had some bomb chicken even from back in the day. Now I will say that I had the audacity to try their gizzards. Man oh man. I've had them three times now and each time they were on point. Very good! The pic is a GIZZARD box!

Best chicken restaurant in Forestville. Not too busy around 5:30p on a Wednesday. Got the 10 pc dark meat special. Still only $14.99! Yum!

This is the best fried chicken on the east coast, one of the last few remaining of a chain that dissolved years ago. They are great!

I forgot about how good this place was. I was in the area and decided to drive by to pick up dinner for my family. The Big chicken sandwich and the individual pieces of chicken were fresh and tasty. The sweet tea was great as well. Staff was polite too and the price for everything was very reasonable.

I've only had the chicken livers and rice/gravy for my sides. I wish the portions of rice and gravy were larger, but the livers are very good
