A New Semi-Fast Food Chicken Chain in Town

Recently Laurie and I were out and about as we experienced one of our most common 'social events'...a medically related appointment!  Following that social event, as we drove toward Loudon on Kingston Pike/US Hwy 11/Lee Highway, we decided to try a new chicken restaurant chain that recently came to Farragut Tennessee.  

This is Super Chix.  Originally owned by Yum Foods, this concept was purchased from Yum and the Super Chix company is now headquartered in Plano Texas.  From what I could determine, most if not all Super Chix restaurants are owned by franchisees.  The Farragut location is in the new and large retail/business/apartment development that's located next to a large Kroger shopping area. 

I borrowed this photo from the Farragut Tennessee Super Chix website.  The interior of this restaurant is definitely a full application of the industrial 'style' that has been so popular in recent years (and less expensive to develop).  

Customer order their meals at the register area at the far end of this room.  There is a menu board and handouts are also available. (see below) Customers place their orders and they're giving a number to place on their table.  The food is delivered to your table when it's ready.    

As you can see above, the menu is straightforward and simple.  You can order chicken as a sandwich or 'tenders' (fried or grilled) or a salad (most with fried or grilled chicken).  Sides include French Fries, Fried Pickles or Coleslaw.  As with Chick-fil-a, its all about chicken...keeps the operation simple.

Laurie ordered the Nashville Hot Salad with breaded and fried Chicken. ($10.99) It wasn't too 'hot' and she did enjoy it.  She wants to try something else the next time we visit Super Chix.

I considered ordering a sandwich but instead opted for 3 breaded and fried Chicken Tenders tossed in Nashville hot sauce ($6.99).  I sided the chicken with a regular order of their fresh hand-cut French fries. ($3.99) 

I'm glad that I didn't order the large size as there were plenty of fries...and they were very good indeed.  FYI, customers are asked what seasoning they would like on their fries.  Nice to have options, especially if one is trying to avoid too much salt.  

The chicken tenders were moist and flavorful and the Nashville Hot sauce was about a 5 out of 10 for my palate...just enough heat to be interesting.  There is a 'sauce bar' with 8 different options including a traditional 'buffalo' sauce.  

We stuck with water for our beverages (free).  There were 2 or 3 helpful employees working the dining area, clearing trays when diners were done eating, bringing orders to tables and answering questions.  Nice group of folks...

If you noticed the "Premium Frozen Custard" portion of the menu as shown above, fear not.  Laurie did order a 'to go' scoop of the vanilla custard as we left Super Chix. ($3.49) Laurie gave me a taste and we both agreed that it was excellent frozen custard.  

OK...We did like Super Chix.  Not inexpensive but then again what restaurant these days is?!  It's kind of like Chick-fil-a on steroids (no drive through though) plus Culver's with the frozen custard.  At the moment, there are 34 Super Chix Restaurants in the USA across 15 states...mostly in the west and southeastern states.  

The Super Chix in Farragut Missouri is located at 116 Brooklawn Street but it backs up to Kingston Pike.  Phone: 865-284-2449.  The restaurant is open from 11 AM until 9 PM 7 days a week.  Website: https://www.superchix.com/. 

NOTE: There will be a pause in my blog posts, starting now, length of time to be determined.  I'm having surgery on my right hand, followed by therapy.  Use of 2 fingers on that hand will be hampered, hopefully just for a short while.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
