Review by Hiram O'Connell

The Chicken Hut is a gem in Durham! 🎉 I stopped by after hearing rave reviews, and it did not disappoint. The *fried chicken* was hot, juicy, and perfectly crispy, while the *hushpuppies* stole the show - they were irresistibly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!

The *collard greens* added a nice touch, but the *mac and cheese* could use a bit more flavor. The service was super friendly and made me feel at home. Plus, the vibrant atmosphere and great music made the experience even better! Can’t wait to go back! 🍗✨
