As everything is in lockdown, I will be back when everything is open to try it again. But the chicken was great! Moist and crispy. I got the hot level and was disappointed because it wasn’t really hot at all. Maybe I got the wrong level by accident or maybe the sauce wasn’t made like usual, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I wasn’t unhappy with my meal, just wish it were hotter. But the MAC was awesome! Cheesy and garlicky, I was very happy. I will definitely be back, but give it a try in the meantime and support local business!
Close to the baseball stadium. Great chicken! We had the honey mustard and the spiked honey dipping sauce. The Spiked Honey is described as Honey with Frank's Red Hot.. It should be described as Frank's Red Hot with a hint of honey. It's pretty much Frank's with nothing else. The craft drinks are really good as well. Especially the vanilla creme soda. Sadly they were out of banana pudding which I was really hoping for.
The service was EXCELLENT! I was unfamiliar with the restaurant but the hostess made sure we knew exactly what to expect! I WILL be a regular customer! Literally THE BEST fried chicken I've ever paid money for!

I really liked Joella's, my wife thought it was ok. She liked her chicken (1/4 White, Southern Style) but she did not like the green beans, and said the mac & cheese was "fine". She did admit that the chicken was better than Popeye's or KFC. I happen to love Popeye's but I have to say Joella's has them beat. I sampled several things. I also had the 1/4 White chicken, Mrs. Eva's style. It was really, really good. A little spice and really good flavor. I also had 2 tenders. One hot and one fire-in-da-hole. The only disappointment of the night for me was neither were all that spicey. I was expecting much more heat, especially with the fire-in-da-hole. Decent flavor, mild for the highest level of spice. I also had the collard greens (best I've had) and the red skin mashed potatoes which I thought were really good. I think this place is a must try if you like fried chicken. Definately beats the national chains in quality and flavor.

We only had time to hit one hot chicken spot in Cincinnati and Joella's was the recommendation. It turned out to be a superb one. We tried the tenders, wings, and straight up chicken and they were all absolutely mouth watering (if a little salty, but that's the style!). There are a number of sides to choose from: I recommend the Mac and Cheese and the fries. The chicken is crazy tender and very flavorful.
