We're a truck in the Food Park Area on Atkinson Drive, with other food trucks around us. Pull up and order at the window.

So good holy shit. We got the slider, the waffle slider, the Mac, and the loaded fries and the loaded fries are INSANE. best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. Hands down. Also, Sam was the man! He was super helpful in every way and ran our food to us so we didn’t have to get in the rain. What a homie. Thanks guys we’ll be back soon !

Burney's Hot Chicken makes the BEST mozzarella sticks & waffel fries. It comes with their delicious Alabama white sauce and a tangy red sauce. The Burney's hot chicken sandwich comes on a yummy brioche bun. The waffle chicken sliders was pretty good but a little oily. Their hours on Google is wrong. They are open until 1am daily except for 2 days they close.

We were staying close by and wanted a quick bite to eat. Like most people I love a good hot chicken sandwich and this one is absolutely amazing! This might be one of the better ones I've had and I can tell you I've had a lot of them all over the globe. Really good chicken sandwich and really good fries! You can also ask for the sauce on the side if you're not into heavy sauce.
