joella’s hot chicken

chicken tenders. everyone loves them. not me.

now, the rest of the menu. white quarter meal or the 3 big wings - best fried chicken combo in town.

parmesan fries.... by what i've read about crack, these are the crack of fries. eat these once and you will be addicted.

their sandwiches make anything kfc or popeyes has on their menu look like nothing.

add a always friendly crew and great management, you have my favorite chickenplacein louisville.

other then kfc i had never had hot chicken. although a franchise chain joella's doesn't disappoint. i had 3 jumbo chicken fingers with the tweeter hot and with bbq sauce. you can choose from 4-5 levels of hotness. i also had potato salad and green beans. another nice touch is fountain sodas they have. all are unique and tasty. this is a greatplacefor lunch and it was crowded. highly recommend

visited here recently for a sunday lunch with a friend and around 1 pm theplacewas packed. the line moved fast though but there's very limited seating inside on a hot day. service was friendly and food arrived fast to our table. i ordered my chicken hot and it was! the only bad part about having the chicken immersed in sauce is that the crust gets soggy. but the taste was still good. i thought the sides were as good as the chicken though.

i've been to princes in nashville where hit chicken was invented. joellas has perfected hot chicken. theplaceis a bit small but i have a feeling this business will expand to larger areas soon. the chicken is incredible but i really think the best part are the sides and homemade sauces like the ranch and jojo. really greatplaceto eat in louisville

i can't understand anyone giving thisplacea bad review! yeah, it takes a while to get your food, but that's because it's made fresh. i will happily wait a little longer knowing that my food hasn't been sitting around for 30 minutes before i ordered it. their chicken has such good flavor, is perfectly spicy, and their sides are great too! i eat there at least once a week because i crave their chicken. be patient with the service and you'll love this place.

my first meal here was excellent. the second good. the third, meh. as others have mentioned the service is slow and you may or may not find aplaceto sit. the heat levels on the chicken are inconsistent: i've ordered the same (tweener) every time but one visit it's not hot at all, the next it makes me cry. they've also gotten our order wrong every single visit. i wrote it off at first but now it's just a joke. as much as i want to love this place, it no longer lives up to my expectations. and now that there are other hot chicken options in town, joella's won't be my first choice.

first and foremost if you are looking for aplacethat will send you on your merry way with a chapped a**h*** then by any means go for it.. secondly the customer service stinks worse than the westend ghetto! i feel as if i can go to a gas station and find a better quality bird!! bet your bottom dollar i will not be going back!

i loved joella's!! i had the 3 piece tenders (spice level ella's fave), mac and cheese, red skin potato salad, ranch and jojo sauce, and a black cherry boylan soda.

theplaceis super cute and homey and country looking. you order at the counter like fast food and they bring out your food to your table. no servers, no real tipping. drinks are boylan sodas and at a self serve fountain and they are great. i loved the black cherry. the workers there are friendly, efficient, and do a great job.

the food came out pretty quick and it looked great. the ella's fave heat level was perfect. it was spicy but doable and a good first choice i thought. the mac and cheese was incredible and the potato salad really good. i liked the potato salad a lot but could honestly get 2 orders of mac and cheese; it was that good. the chicken pieces were good sized and fried golden brown and tossed in the chili oil of your choice in heat. i ordered 2 sauces, ranch and jojo. the ranch seemed homemade and was great and the jojo's was good and a mustardy carolina gold type of sauce. i couldn't finish because it was a good amount of food. it was quick and relatively inexpensive for the food quality. great place. i'll definitely be back real soon.
