Doesn't look like a great big establishment. But it fits quite a enough people inside. They have plenty of people coming in and out. I have ordered the white meat chicken with the 2 sides plantains rice and beans. So delicious!! You get your monies worth here. They are always pleasant and friendly. They have a small eating area with 2 tables. But for the most part everyone gets there food to go. They have a wonderful desert selection to choose from.

Ordered delivery from The Original American Chicken and it was quickly put together and in my hands within half an hour. I opted for a family meal: 1 Whole Chicken, pita bread, and 2 sides. $18.50 if ordering in-store, but with delivery it came out to be about $25 including taxes and service fee. There's a decent selection of 20 sides, but not a lot of them enticed me. I ended up with a potato salad and yuca/cassava. The potato salad is not bad, but the yuca was a bit dry and flavorless. The chicken was good and moist though! It's lightly seasoned, so I added some of my own spices on top because I like extra flavors
