Stopped in to get something quick, after leaving a bar. I got a Buffalo chicken wrap. It was good, but not great. The Nashville chicken sandwich my wife had looked better, and it definitely had more flavor. Prices are great here though. Service is quick and you order at the counter then sit and wait on your order. Be prepared to take your food to go as the sitting area is very small.

I initially tried the famous Bobwhite Counter chicken Caesar wrap at a food festival and it was pretty good but I never went to the actual restaurant until now. Me and a friend decided to pull up and it did not disappoint. Atmosphere is small with a limited amount of seating. Plus they have a kiosk where you can digitally order your food. If you ask me, this is a better version of Chick-fil-A. They specialize in chicken but have a variety of flavors and options to choose from. I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered the famous chicken Caesar wrap with a lemonade. The Caesar wrap was nice and warm. With the perfect amount of dressing. That chicken was fresh, crispy, and juicy. I enjoyed this Caesar wrap. Also, it wasn’t too heavy. The lemonade was sweet and refreshing. Can’t complain. I ordered through the kiosk, but service is good here. My food didn’t take too long. Honestly they may see me again in the near future… I came back a couple days after. I got the truffle chicken sandwich, Mac & cheese, and lemonade. I love the simplicity of the menu I feel like I could come in here and order anything and be satisfied. I brought a friend from out of town here and they got the same items as me. They enjoyed it too. I forgot his name but shout out to the guy with the dreads who works here. He helped me decide to get the Mac & cheese which was really good.

I've been coming for years and yes the quality has dropped over time but it's still a solid choice to get good fried chicken. Probably my big complaint is the breading has become less crunchy over time. Its still delicious but I miss the old breading.

Very good fried chicken. Open late (bless)! Split a box of tenders and fries with my friend for dinner. Bob white sauce is pretty good, maybe a sweeter version of chick fil a sauce. I think these tenders would be better with a BBQ. Overall very great fried chicken. VERY GOOD fries!!!! Biscuit was nice — and not too dry. Apparently the Caesar wrap is yummy too, I believe it.

Y’all this wrap was FIREEEEE!!! I got the buffalo chicken caesar wrap y’all that ish was so refreshing yet the chicken stayed so crunchy I was actually impressed. The buffalo and the caesar dressing flavors worked perfectly and the wrap was a pretty decent size. I also got the raspberry tea which on first sip felt a little watered down with not as much flavor as I’d hoped, but the more I ate the wrap the more the drink tasted so delicious.

Always stellar. Consistently delivers a delicious value chicken caesar wrap. Service is quick and friendly. Guy in front of us forgot his fries and the staff literally chased him down on the street to give them to him. That's just how they do it at Bobwhite
