Reviews for Joella's Hot Chicken - Lexington in Lexington, KY

"Jumbo" is a stretch for their chicken tenders, but they are good. Really they are strictly normal-sized tenders, which makes... some of their pricing a bit surprising. Overall portion sizes were good. We liked the kale crunch salad and the Bama White dipping sauce. The decor is cool...like a corporate place striving to capture a dive atmosphere but still appear upscale. Read more

I love this place, but they are a bit of a mess. The last 3 times I?ve come over about a month and a half the ice machine has... been down. When the chicken is fresh it?s amazing. But there have been plenty of times where I?ve gotten dry chicken that iskind of tough to eat. I really want this to be good and consistent and hopefully this store gets some corporate support to helpit be better. The newer stores I?ve been to don?t seem to have the same issues. Read more

Food was good but not great. If you are craving some hot chicken, it will defiantly hit the spot. Chicken and waffles was good,... would definitely get it again. Mac & cheese was not that good according to my kids.. they know their M&C so I trust theirjudgment.. the parmesan fries were good but bit oily. Read more

Covered outdoor seating available! Really enjoyed this place - I got the HOT chicken first, but it wasn?t spicy enough for my... taste SO I went to the register and asked if there was any way to ?add? spice to them. The guy working the front was superfriendly and happily brought me a small container with the spice rub/oil to my table to dip my chicken in. It was SO DELICIOUS!I definitely want my mouth to be on fire with spicy food so purchase with caution. I loved the fried flavor mixed with thislevel of spicy, dipped in the pimento ranchero dip. Also don?t miss the rich and delicious mac n cheese! Read more

I was finally able to come to this chicken shop that I had been interested in for a long time. As I expected, the chicken and... sides were delicious. My favorite is big wings. The price is reasonable and the atmosphere of the store is good. Read more
