Stopped here for lunch to taste the famous recipe and after learning the story of the dinner house. The food was soo amazing! The staff were friendly and attentive. We sat down right away and got our order in. They also have a gift shop you can check out before you go. It was well worth the stop and I would highly recommend it!
First time eating at Claudia Sanders since the COVID pandemic & it was as good as it has always been. Food & service were excellent. Prices were very reasonable except tea & soft drinks were a little high in my opinion. Tea & soft drinks were $3.99. By the time you add sales tax & tip, that makes a drink over $5. However, we did not come for the drinks. Chicken & sides were excellent.
The food was fantastic. We both had the chicken, it was great. Potatoes and gravy, green beans were great sides, the mac & cheese was ok. Wish they would of had a chocolate dessert, but I didn't need it of course.
Staff was really friendly and helpful! The owner's cats wander outside nearby so if you're lucky, you get to meet them!
The flavors of the food are way better than KFC. Half the amount of salt in everything! The creamed spinach had an excellent smoked bacon flavor mixed in. The yeast rolls are cake-like and fluffy. Slightly sweet and butter! Baked apples were soft and sweet. Corn pudding wasn't too overpoweringly sweet and solid. White milk gravy is my favorite of the sides although all of them are great.
The chicken is much crispier than KFC's 11 spiced soggy chicken and half the salt. Really tender too! Chicken tenders were not dry either despite being white meat!
Claudia's KY Pie was a great balance of flavors, sweet but not sickeningly sweet. The bourbon bread pudding was an excellent way to finish the dinner too!

No words about the taste of food, one dish after one dish i have enjoyed everything.
Service is also impressive. They have handled the table well.
Totally best experience i have and money worth place to spend.

Sunday buffet: sticky table, sticky floors. No dark meat. The chicken was cooked extremely well and nicely spiced even as the crust was soggy from moisture build up in the buffet tray. The ham was dry. No way we’re the peas fresh, or the corn. Standard institutional fare.
I had a tasty catfish dinner with green beans and mac n cheese with a freshly squeezed house lemonade. It was pretty good. the only complaint was that the mac n cheese was not quite cheesy.
Other than that, good service, friendly staff, got seated right away, and on top of it all my drink STAYED full.
