    Yeah it's been crazy this last week. I went last Friday at lunch and it took me at least 30 minutes to get out of there. I thought my Fried Chicken had a pretty good flavor personally and they had a nice variety of sides there, but I'll probably wait to go back when that line has died down some. It seemed a little chaotic inside the kitchen when I was paying for my food.

    Tried going here last night and the line was several cars out into the street so I kept driving west down 23rd and decided to stop at Samurai (very underrated, I'd put it as a top 5 sushi place in OKC/Tulsa) which I forgot was closed on Mondays so I ended up grabbing Jersey Mike's instead lol.

    Finally got around to eating there today.

    Crowds have definitely calmed down. It was busy, but no more than 4-5 people in front of us a noon at the counter.

    Did some nuggets, some fried and baked chicken, several sides (corn salad, rice, mashed potatoes, plantains) and flan. Had the Horchata to drink.

    It was all good - not wait in line for an hour good, but good. Some of us preferred the fried chicken while others preferred the baked. I think I liked the baked best - but both were tasty.

    My least favorite were the nuggets (camperitos - boneless wings). I thought they had too much breading, were too bland and were too crispy and not moist and lightly breaded like is shown on their website.

    Definitely not a destination lunch spot for me - but, I'd go if someone in my group wanted to, or if I was in the immediate area and the mood struck me. But, for what it is - fast food - it was different and good. I really like that they serve the food on real plates.

    This should definitely be another hit for the City Bites brothers. I hear this location set a record for 1st day and 6-day sales of a new opening. I'm sure they will be opening new locations soon.

    I have no idea what people are lining up for. This place would hardly crack the top 10 of fast food chicken restaurants in OKC. Even the pics of the food on the windows looks bland and boring.

    Some people like to try new things and some people like to be the first to try new things.

    Finally tried this last night. I had both the grilled and fried chicken, as well as the rice and beans. Fried chicken was pretty good but the grilled chicken tasted funky to me. Beans were too intense and the rice was just whatever. So, pretty typical fast food fare. Gave it a shot, but not for me.

    I think their fried chicken is the highlight personally.
